Neurometabolic therapy of mild cognitive impairment in patients with chronic cerebral ischemia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective. To evaluate the effect of a sequential therapy regimen with Mexidol (500 mg injections intravenously for 14 days) and Mexidol FORTE 250 (250 mg tablets 3 times a day for 60 days) on higher cortical functions in patients with moderate cognitive disorders in chronic cerebral ischemia. Material and methods. A comparative, prospective study included 63 patients with chronic cerebral ischemia with moderate cognitive impairment. All patients received basic therapy aimed at reducing risk factors (antihypertensive, antithrombotic drugs as indicated). Patients of the main group (30 people: 12 men, 18 women) received Mexidol intravenously 500 mg in 100 ml of 0.9% NaCl solution once a day for 14 days, then Mexidol FORTE 250 (film-coated tablets) 250 mg 3 times a day for the next 60 days. The comparison group consisted of 33 patients (14 men, 19 women) who received only basic therapy. The groups were comparable in terms of age, sex characteristics and severity of cognitive deficit. We examined cognitive status (MoCA scale, Frontal Dysfunction Battery, 10 Word Memorization tests), severity of asthenia (MFI-20 scale), anxiety and depression (HADS scale), patient’s subjective assessment of the dynamics of the condition (CGI-improvement scale) in 1st, 14th and 74th±5 days of observation. On days 1 and 74±5 of observation, patients were examined using transcranial magnetic stimulation to study the neuronal activity of the cerebral cortex. Results. In the main group, at the time of completion of taking Mexidol and Mexidol FORTE 250, a pronounced cognitive regression was noted (MoCA scale +3 points, difference with the comparison group 1 point (p<0.0001); Frontal Dysfunction Battery test +4 points, difference with comparison group 2 points (p<0.001); memory test «10 words» +2 points, difference with the comparison group 1 point (p<0.05), emotional (HADS anxiety scale –8 points, difference with the comparison group 3 points (p<0.001), depression –3.5 points, difference with the comparison group 1.5 points (p<0.01), asthenic disorders (MFI-20 scale –30 points, difference with the comparison group 15.5 points (p<0.01), improvement in the well-being of patients (CGI-improvement scale –2 points, difference with the comparison group 1 point (p<0.0001). According to the transcranial magnetic stimulation performed, a statistically significant decrease in the central motor conduction time at the level of 1 and 2 motor neurons of the pyramidal tract bilaterally from the start to the end of therapy with Mexidol and Mexidol FORTE 250 was determined (p<0.01). An inverse correlation was found between the time of central motor conduction and the results of the Frontal Dysfunction Battery test at the same time points with left-sided localization of 1 motor neuron (p<0.01). The results of a study of the use of sequential therapy with Mexidol 500 mg IV drip 1 time per day for 14 days followed by oral administration of Mexidol FORTE 250 1 tablet 3 times a day for 60 days indicate its clinical effectiveness and safety in patients with chronic cerebral ischemia with mild cognitive impairment, and also confirm its importance for preventing the progression of cognitive disorders.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
