Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the clinical effectiveness of Probucol combined with Atorvastatin in patients with acute ischemic stroke and its influence on serum level of sLOX-1, Cyst-C, and hs-CRP.

Methods

A total of 126 patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical College from October 2018 to October 2019 were enrolled as the study subjects, and they were divided into either an observation group (n=63) or a control group (n=63). Both groups were given Atorvastatin on the basis of conventional treatment, and the observation group was additionally given Probucol. Blood lipid levels, atherosclerotic plaques, NIHSS, mRS, and MMSE scores, and the levels of sLOX-1, Cyst-C, and hs-CRP before and at 3 month after treatment were compared between the two groups. The levels of sLOX-1, Cyst-C, and hs-CRP were detected by ELSIA. Both groups were followed for 6 months, and the recurrence rate and adverse reactions were recorded.

Results

The total clinical effectiveness rate in the observation group was 93.65%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (82.54%; P<0.05). Compared with the values before treatment, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and apolipoprotein A (ApoA) in both groups were significantly decreased, while high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) significantly increased after the treatment; the changes in the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group (P<0.05). Compared with the values before treatment, the NIHSS and mRS scores in both groups were significantly reduced, MMSE score increased after the treatment, and the NIHSS and mRS scores were significantly lower, while MMSE score was higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the carotid intima-media thickness, intimal plaque area, and the detection rate of vulnerable plaque were significantly reduced, and they were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). The levels of sLOX-1, Cyst-C, and hs-CRP decreased significantly after treatment, and they were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (all P<0.05). Compared with the control group (11.11%), the observation group (1.58%) had a significantly lower recurrence rate (P<0.05). No severe adverse reactions occurred in either group.

Conclusion

Probucol combined with Atorvastatin can reduce blood lipid levels and inflammatory factors in patients with acute ischemic stroke, improve patients' neurological function, cognitive function, and quality of life, and reduce the rate of recurrence without significant adverse effects, which should be promoted in clinical practice.
