BACKGROUND: At present, there are many drugs and therapeutic methods for dementia at home and abroad. Both xingding and piracetam are the kind of improver for circulatory obstruction and protector for nerve cells and can slow down the functional decline of brain tissue and provide improvement for cognitive deficit.OBJECTIVE: To observe the improvement of allied application of xingding and piracetam on cognitive function in treatment of vascular dementia.DESIGNS: Case-controlled study based on patients.SETTING: Neurological Department in Affiliated Hospital of Henan University. PARTICIPANTS: Totally 91 cases of vascular dementia hospitalized in Neurological Department of First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University from October 2000 to March 2002, which were randomized into treatment group of 48 cases and the control of 43 cases.INTERVENTIONS: In treatment group, xingding injection of 20 mL and piracetam of 8 g were administrated and 50 g/L glucose injection 250 mL was added respectively for intravenous injection, once daily and 14 days made one session. In the control, piracetam of 8 g was prescribed with 50 g/L glucose injection 250 mL added for intravenous injection, once daily and 14 days made one session. There was no any difference in other medication treatment. One month later after treatment of two groups, he patients were re-examined with mini-mental state examination(MMSE) and Hasegawa dementia scale(HDS) was used to assess the cogitative improvement and neurological defect scale(NDF) was used to analysis the improvement of neurological functional symptoms.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Scores of MMSE, HDS and NDF in two groups. ② Analysis on therapeutic effects.RESULTS: Totally 91 cases entered the analysis on the results. There was no significant difference in MMSE and HDS before treatment in two groups. In treatment group, after treatment, MMSE and HDS scores were (23.26±5.12) and(2.78±3.46) respectively, indicating significant difference(t=4.79, 15.44, P<0.01) compared with the control(19.14 ±3.21)and(15.21±2.29) . NDF score was 13.68±7.83 after treatment and the significant difference was presented compared with the control(17.33 ±8.81) . The total effective rate(total remarkable rate + progression) was 92% in the treatment group and was 56% in the control. By the comparison between two groups, the difference was significant(χ2= 15.48, P<0.01).CONCLUSION: After treatment, MMSE score in treatment group was higher than that in the control and HDS score was lower than that in the control, explaining that xingding allied piracetam significantly improves cogitative function in the treatment of vascular dementia.

Objective To study the value of contact heat evoked potentials (CHEPs) for the early diagnosis of diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy. Methods Seventy-five diabetic patients were examined by conventional nerve conduction velocity studies and then divided into 2 groups: diabetics with normal nerve conduction and diabetics with abnormal nerve conduction. Thirty-three normal subjects were used as controls. Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Sco-ring System was used to evaluate the patients. CHEPs were recorded using different stimulation intensities at different temperatures. Results The peak latencies of 45℃ , 50℃, 53℃ in diabetics with normal nerve conduction group were longer than those in normal control group, with a significant difference between the 2 groups(P<0.05). The peak latencies of diabetics were positively related to Toronto scores. Conclusion CHEPs could detect the impair-ment of diabetic peripheral nerve and reveal the impairment earlier than conventional nerve conduction velocity exami-nation, The prolongation of peak latency in diabetics group was significantly and positively related to clinical condi-tion.
