title: Analysis of treatment effect of urinary kallidinogenase combined with edaravone on massive cerebral infarction.
abstract: The aim of the study was to investigate the clinical effect of urinary kallidinogenase combined with edaravone in the treatment of massive cerebral infarction. A total of 58 patients with massive cerebral infarction were admitted to hospital between January 2013 and January 2014. There were 34 male and 24 female patients. The patients were randomly divided into the observation and control groups (n=29 cases per group). The patients in the control group received edaravone treatment, while patients in the observation group were treated with urinary kallidinogenase and edaravone. The clinical effects of the two groups were then compared. The results showed that the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score and serum C-reactive protein level of the patients in the two groups were significantly decreased following treatment. The decreased degree in the observation group was significantly smaller than that in the control group. The difference was statistically significant [(11.03±3.75) vs. (16.58±7.43) scores, P<0.05; (9.88±4.82) vs. (11.98±4.69) mmol/l, P<0.05]. The serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor were significantly increased in patients of the two groups after treatment. The increased degree in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group. The difference was statistically significant [(268.51±77.34) vs. (188.82±57.33) ng/l, P<0.05]. The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group and the difference was statistically significant (89.66 vs. 62.07%, P<0.05). In conclusion, urinary kallidinogenase combined with edaravone treatment has a certain clinical curative effect on massive cerebral infarction.
