Objective:To explore the efficacy of nimodipine in treating cognitive impairment of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and the value of magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in CSVD.Methods:A total of 80 patients with CVSD and cognitive dysfunction who admitted to Suzhou Municipal Hospital from February 2018 to February 2019 were selected, and the patients were divided into control group (40 patiengts) and observation group (40 patients) by random number table method. The control group received basic treatment and donepezil, and the observation group added nimodipine on the basis of control group. All patients were followed up for 12 months. Before treatment, 6 months after treatment and 12 months after treatment, the patients’Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA) score, daily living ability scale (ADL) score, and Tinetti balance and gait analysis(TGA) were recorded. The levels of total cholesterol (TC), triacylglycerol (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), homocysteine (Hcy) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) before and after treatment were recorded. The changes of DTI data before and after 12 months′ treatment in the two groups were recorded.Results:The MoCA score, ADL score, and TGA score of the two groups were higher than those before treatment and at 6 months and 12 months after treatment, and those 12 months after treatment were higher than those at 6 months after treatment. There were significant differences ( P<0.05). The MoCA and ADL scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group at 6 and 12 months after treatment at 6 months: (24.61 ± 2.54) scores vs. (22.21 ± 2.83) scores, (71.53 ± 6.25) scores vs. ( 69.51 ± 6.81) scores; 12 months: (26.39 ± 2.16) scores vs. (23.76 ± 2.64) scores, (78.39 ± 5.76) scores vs. (72.39 ± 6.12) scores, P<0.05. At 6 months and 12 months after treatment, the visual space and execution ability, delayed memory, and orientation scores were higher than those before treatment, and in the observation group 12 months after treatment was higher than those 6 months after treatment: (5.97 ± 1.37) scores vs. (5.36 ± 1.29) scores, P<0.05. The observation group′s visual space and executive ability, abstract thinking, delayed memory, and orientation score were higher than those in the control group at the same period ( P<0.05). The levels of TC, TG, LDL-C, Hcy and hs-CRP of the two groups after treatment for 6 and 12 months were lower than those before treatment, and the levels of these index at 12 months after treatment were lower than those at 6 months after treatment ( P<0.05). The levels of Hcy and hs-CRP in the observation group were lower than those in the control group at 12 months after treatment, and Hcy was lower than that in the control group at 6 months after treatment ( P<0.05). After treatment, the fractional anisotropy (FA) values of the center, frontal lobe, and parietal lobe of both sides of the two groups were higher than those before treatment, and the difference in the observation group before and after treatment was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05). After treatment, the mean diffusivity (MD) values of both frontal lobe and parietal lobe of the two groups were lower than those before treatment, and the difference between the observation group before and after treatment was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Nimodipine has a good effect on the treatment of CVSD, which can effectively improve the patients′ cognitive impairment and other symptoms. DTI can sensitively sense the white matter integrity and cerebral blood flow perfusion of patients, which has a positive significance for the prevention and treatment of CVSD.
