Abstract:Objective To observe the effect of Butylphthalide Soft Capsules combined with Atorvastatin Calcium tablets in treatment of patients with vascular dementia. Methods From August 2014 to August 2016, in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 80 vascular dementia (VD) patient were selected and divided into observation group (40 cases) and control group (40 cases) according to randomization envelope method. The control group was treated with oral Butylphthalide Soft Capsules Tablets therapy,and the observation group were treated with Atorvastatin Calcium Tablets on the basis of the control group. The patients in the each group were treated for 2 months,the clinical curative effect of two groups after treatment were observed and recorded. The related scale of mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and activities of daily living (ADL) were compared between the two groups of observed before and after treatment. Blood lipid levels and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity levels were compared the two groups before and after treatment. Results After the treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). After the treatment, the scores of MMSE in two groups were higher than before treatment, and the scores of MMSE in the observation group were significantly higher than the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05); the ADL scores in two groups were lower than before treatment, the ADL scores in the observation group was significantly lower than the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Compared with before the treatment, the TC, TG and LDL-C levels after the treatment significantly improved, and these in the observation group was significantly better than the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05); compared with before the treatment, there was no significant difference of HDL-C levels in the control group after the treatment, the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05), the HDL-C level in the observation group after the treatment was significantly higher, and this was significantly higher than the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). After the treatment, the activity of SOD in the two groups was higher than that before the treatment, and the activity of SOD in observation group was significantly higher than in the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was no obvious adverse reactions observed after treatment in two groups. Conclusion Butylphthalide Soft Capsules combined with Atorvastatin Calcium Tablets has significant clinica effect in VD patients,which can significantly improve the blood lipid level, increase the activity of SOD, and effectively improve VD symptoms in patients with dementia and mental state, improve the quality of life of patients.
