To explore the clinical effect of Xingnao Kaiqiao Acupuncture on acute cerebral infarction and analyze its mechanism in order to improve the treatment level.Methods:A total of 108 patients with acute cerebral infarction from June 2014 to February 2017 in Qinhuangdao Chinese Medicine Hospital were selected as the study subjects, and divided into a control group and an observation group according to the order of enrollment, with 54 cases in each group.The control group received symptomatic treatment such as nutritional nerve, and the observation group received Xingnao Kaiqiao acupuncture for 2 weeks.The changes of inflammatory factors, hemorheology, neurons and ultrasonography before and after treatment were observed and compared, and the curative effect was summarized.Results:1)After treatment, the scores of neurological deficit(NIHSS)and symptoms in both groups decreased significantly, while the Barthel index increased significantly(P<0.05).After treatment, the Barthel index in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the rest was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).2)After treatment, the levels of CRP, NO, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-12 and INF-γ in the 2 groups were significantly decreased than those before treatment(P<0.05), and the above indexes in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).3)After treatment, Vs(peak systolic blood flow velocity), Vd(end diastolic blood flow velocity)and Vm(blood flow evaluation velocity)in the 2 groups increased significantly, and PI(pulsation index)decreased significantly(P<0.05).PI in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group, and the rest was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).4)After treatment, the whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, fibrinogen, platelet aggregation rate, hematocrit, S100B, matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)of the 2 groups decreased significantly(P<0.05), and the level of metalloproteinase-1(TIMP-1)increased significantly(P<0.05).After treatment, TIMP-1 in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the remaining indicators were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).5)The basic recovery rate and total effective rate in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Xingnao Kaiqiao Acupuncture can promote collateral blood circulation, inhibit inflammatory stress response and improve neurons in patients with acute cerebral infarction, so as to improve the curative effect. |
