Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Many basic researches and clinical observations prove that compound preparation of gingko extract and dipyridamole has an obvious effect on microcirculation. Methycobal is commonly used to repair nerve on clinic. Combination of compound preparation and methycobal has a great effect on treating diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).OBJECTIVE: To observe the improved effect of combination of compound preparation and methycobal on conduction velocity of common peroneal nerve and hemorheology of DPN patients.DESIGN: Randomized controlled design and validated experiment on the basis of patients.SETTING: Department of Comprehensive Medicine, Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medic.al College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 120 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) combined with DPN were selected from the Department of Comprehensive Medicine in Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medical College affiliated to Huazhong University of Science and Technology between January 2002 and January 2005. Subjects were randomly divided into treatment group and control group with 60 in each group. All cases were consent.METHODS: Cases in the treatment group were venously dripped with 25 mL compound preparation and 250 mL saline (Guizhou Yibai Pharmacology Company Limited) once a day; meanwhile, 500 μg methycobal (Eisai Community, Japan) was intramuscularly injected into cases once a day for 4 successive weeks. Cases in the control group were intramuscularly injected with 500 μg methycobal once a day for 4 weeks.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Conduction velocity of peroneal nerve and hemorheological indexes (blood viscosity, hematocrit and aggregative rate of platelet) of patients in the two groups at 1 day before treatment and at 4 weeks after treatment.RESULTS: A total of 120 patients were involved in the final analysis. ① Conduction velocity of motor nerve was faster in treatment group after treatment than that before treatment and that in control group after treatment [(45.6±4.3), (38.5±3.8), (41.4±6.2) m/s, t=9.585, 4.312, P ＜ 0.01]; conduction velocity of sensory nerve was faster in treatment group after treatment than that before treatment and that in control group after treatment [(45.8±4.2), (36.7±4.8), (38.2±4.9) m/s, t=11.047, 9.120, P ＜ 0.01]. ② Values of high-shearing blood viscosity, low-shearing blood viscosity and plasma viscosity were lower in treatment group after treatment than those before treatment and those in control group after treatment (P ＜ 0.01). ③Value of hematocrit was lower in treatment group after treatment than those before treatment and those in control group after treatment [(41.32 ±3.56)%,(46.32±3.43)%, (44.32±4.49)%, t=7.834,4.05, P ＜ 0.01]. ④ Aggregative rate of platelet was lower in treatment group after treatment than those before treatment and those in control group after treatment [(31.35±2.11)%,(48.44±2.68)%, (45.91±3.54)%, t=38.810, 27.367, P ＜ 0.01].CONCLUSION: Combination ofcompound preparation and methycobal can increase nerve conduction velocity and decrease blood viscosity and aggregative rate of platelet, and it is also an effective method for treating DPN.
