Clinical Effect of Shibing Xingnao Granules on Vascular Dementia Patients and Its Effect on Serum Neuronal Apoptosis Molecules

Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand). 2023 Feb 28;69(2):144-149. doi: 10.14715/cmb/2023.69.2.24.ABSTRACTIt was intended to study the clinical effect of Shibing Xingnao Granules on patients with vascular dementia (VD) and to explore its effect on serum neuronal apoptosis molecule levels in VD patients. For this purpose, 78 VD patients, as research objects, were grouped into a control group (acupuncture therapy) and an observation group (acupuncture therapy + Shibing Xingnao Granules) using the random number table method, with 39 cases per group. The clinical effect, cognitive function, neurological function, activity of daily living (ADL) score, and serum B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax), as well as Caspase-3 (Casp3) levels in two groups were observed. Results showed that the markedly effective rate (MER) (82.05%) and total effective rate (TER) (100%) in the observation group were higher than the control group (56.41%, 92.31%) (P<0.05). After treatment, the Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) score, the distributions of mild VD and normal patients, ADL score, and Bcl-2 level were higher in the observation group than in the control group. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, Bax, and Casp3 levels were lower in the observation group (P<0.05). The conclusion was that Shibing Xingnao Granules could further enhance the therapeutic effect of VD patients, and could increase Bcl-2 level and reduce Bax and Casp3 levels.PMID:37224031 | DO...
