Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the efficacy of Xingnaojing injection combined with Angong Niuhuang pill in the treatment of cerebral hemorrhage and their effects on neuronal injury. Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 117 patients with cerebral hemorrhage admitted to Department of Neurosurgery, Shaoxing Second Hospital, from January 2023 to August 2024. The patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group using a random number table method. The control group ( n = 59) was treated with Xingnaojing injection, while the observation group ( n = 58) was treated with Angong Niuhuang pill and Xingnaojing injection for 1 month. Clinical efficacy, neuronal cytokines (S-100B protein, neuron-specific enolase, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor), oxidative stress indicators (superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde, and glutathione peroxidase), inflammatory factor levels (interleukin-1β, C-reactive protein, and interleukin-6), and adverse reactions (itching, chest tightness, gastrointestinal discomfort, rash, and increased heart rate) were compared between the two groups. Results:The total response rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [94.83% (55/58) vs. 81.36% (48/59), Z = 2.27, P = 0.023]. After treatment, the levels of S-100B and neuron-specific enolase in the observation group were (0.43 ± 0.16) μg/L and (6.79 ± 1.28) μg/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(0.62 ± 0.15) μg/L, (8.37 ± 1.15) μg/L, t = -6.62, -7.02, both P < 0.001]. Additionally, the level of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(63.58 ± 4.05) ng/L vs. (57.13 ± 4.39) ng/L, t = 8.26, P < 0.001]. After treatment, the levels of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( t = 6.39, 6.94, both P < 0.001). The level of malondialdehyde in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( t = -5.95, P < 0.001). The levels of interleukin-1β, C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group group ( t = -6.64, -8.29, -7.06, all P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in incidence of adverse reactions between the observation and control groups [13.79% (8/58) vs. 22.03% (13/59), χ2 = 1.35, P > 0.05]. Conclusions:The combination of Xingnaojing injection and Angong Niuhuang pill shows good efficacy in the treatment of cerebral hemorrhage, as it can reduce neuronal damage, oxidative stress reactions, and inflammatory responses. This combined treatment is worthy of clinical application.
