Efficacy of Fuyuan Xingshen Decoction Combined with Butylphthalide Sodium Chloride Injection in the Treatment of Acute Cerebral Infarction and Its Effect on Hemodynamics
Why is this work in the frame?
A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.
No Canadian affiliation. An affiliation-only frame — the usual design — would never have seen this work. It is one of the works that make the case for inverting the frame.

Abstract
Objective. This study aims to determine the curative effect of Fuyuan Xingshen Decoction combined with butylphthalide sodium chloride injection in acute cerebral infarction (ACI) treatment and its effect on hemodynamics. Methods. In our hospital, a total of 84 ACI patients from May 2020 to February 2022 were randomly divided into two groups: observation and control (n = 42 each). Fuyuan Xingshen Decoction in combination with butylphthalide sodium chloride injection was provided to the observation group, while the control group received butylphthalide sodium chloride injection alone. Both groups’ clinical efficacy was observed. Before and after treatment, the neurological function of the two groups was evaluated using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), while the daily living ability of both groups was determined using the Barthel index rating scale. Both groups were investigated for their cognitive function, before and after treatment, by using the Mini-Cog scale and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale. The pulsatility index (PI), peak velocity (Vp), and mean velocity (Vm) of intracranial arteries were measured by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography before and after treatment. The levels of ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase-1 (UCH-L1), Fibulin-5, and visinin-like protein-1 (VILIP-1) in serum and the expression levels of miR-34c, miR-25, and miR-182 in peripheral blood of the two groups were compared. Both groups were observed for the incidence of adverse reactions. Results. Compared with the control (71.43%), the observation group exhibited a significantly higher effective rate of around 90.48%. In the observation group, the improvement in NIHSS, Barthel index, Mini-cog, and MoCA scores; hemodynamic indexes including Vp, PI, and Vm; serum UCH-L1, Fibulin-5, and VILIP-1 levels; and the miR-34c, miR-25, and miR-182 expression levels in peripheral blood was better than the control group, with significant difference (all <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"> <a:mi>P</a:mi> <a:mo><</a:mo> <a:mn>0.05</a:mn> </a:math> ). The incidence of adverse reactions between the groups demonstrated no significant differences ( <c:math xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M2"> <c:mi>P</c:mi> <c:mo>></c:mo> <c:mn>0.05</c:mn> </c:math> ). Conclusions. Fuyuan Xingshen Decoction combined with butylphthalide sodium chloride injection can effectively improve patients’ daily living ability, neurological function, cognitive function, and cerebral hemodynamics in the treatment of ACI, with good effect and safety.
