Abstract
The research aim was to investigate the effects of dl-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP) on the level of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and clinical outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). A total of 170 patients were included and randomly assigned to NBP group and control group. All patients were administrated a basic antiplatelet and lipid-lowering therapy. Among the patients, 86 received additional NBP administration for 30 days, whereas 84 received only basic therapy (the control). The level of circulating EPCs (marked with CD34(+)/CD133(+)/KDR(+)) was determined by flow cytometry at baseline and days 7, 14, and 30 after therapy. Impairment of neurological function was evaluated by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) on days 7, 14, 30, and 90 after therapy. The association between the increased level of circulating EPCs and improvement of NIHSS score was evaluated by Pearson analysis. The clinical outcome was evaluated by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) on day 90. During the observation period, any adverse events related to drugs were reported. The levels of circulating EPCs on days 14 and 30 were significantly higher in the NBP group than in the control group. In contrast, NIHSS score wa...Continue Reading
