Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Chailian Lvping Granules(mainly composed of Bupleuri Radix,Coptidis Rhizoma,Paeoniae Radix Alba,Angelicae Sinensis Radix,Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma,Citri Sarcodactylis Fructus,and Ziziphi Spinosae Semen)in treating post-stroke anxiety and to observe their effect on serum neurotransmitters and oxidative stress.Methods A total of 104 patients with post-stroke anxiety of liver-qi stagnation and heart-fire exuberance type were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,52 cases in each group.The control group was treated with conventional western medicine of Paroxetine,and the observation group was treated with Chailian Lvping Granules on the basis of treatment for the control group.The course of treatment lasted for eight weeks.The two groups were observed in the changes of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale(HADS)score,Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA)score,serum neurotransmitter parameters of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF),dopamine(DA),5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)and norepinephrine(NE),and oxidative stress indicators of malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)before and after treatment.Moreover,the clinical efficacy and total incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results(1)After eight weeks of treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group was 94.23％(49/52),and that of the control group was 76.92％(40/52).The intergroup comparison(tested by chi-square test)showed that the curative effect of the observation group was significantly superior to that of the control group(P＜0.05).(2)After treatment,the HADS score and HAMA score for the axienty degree in the two groups were decreased compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the decrease of HADS score and HAMA score in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.01).(3)After treatment,the serum level of neurotransmitter BDNF in the two groups was increased while the serum levels of DA,5-HT and NE were decreased compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05).The increase of serum BDNF level and the decrease of serum DA,5-HT and NE levels in the observation group were significantly superior to those in the control group(P＜0.01).(4)After treatment,the serum level of oxidative stress indicator MDA in the two groups was decreased while the serum levels of SOD and GSH-Px were increased compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05).The decrease of serum MDA level and the increase of serum SOD and GSH-Px levels in the observation group were significantly superior to those in the control group(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).(5)The total incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was 5.77％(3/52),and that in the control group was 9.62％(5/52).There was no significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion On the basis of conventional western medicine treatment,Chailian Lvping Granules exert certain effect in the treatment of patients with post-stroke anxiety of liver-qi stagnation and heart-fire exuberance type.The combined therapy is effective and safe on alleviating the anxiety symptoms of patients,decreasing the degree of neurological impairment and stress response level,and has few adverse reactions.
