Control group of patients received conventional + cattle encephalon glycoside and ignotin injection therapy, and observation group of patients received conventional +cattle encephalon glycoside and ignotin injection + edaravone therapy. The differences in serum levels of nerve injury indexes, oxidative stress indexes and inflammatory mediators were compared between the two groups of patients before and after treatment.Results: Before treatment, the differences in serum levels of nerve injury indexes, oxidative stress indexes and inflammatory mediators were not statistically significant between two groups of patients. After treatment, serum nerve injury index BNP level in observation group was higher than that in control group while S-100B, GFAP and NSE levels were lower than those in control group;serum oxidative stress indicators MDA and MPO levels were lower than those in control group while SOD and GSH-Px levels were higher than those in control group;serum inflammatory mediators IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α levels were lower than those in control group.Conclusion:Edaravone combined with cattle encephalon glycoside and ignotin injection adjuvant therapy can effectively reduce the nerve function impairment in patients with severe craniocerebral injury, and the specific mechanisms are related to its effect on reducing the oxidative stress and inflammation.展开更多

The aim of our study was to describe the clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects. Materials and method: This was a descriptive and analytical study over a 48-month period at CHU la Renaissance from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2021, concerning patients admitted for penetrating cranioencephalic trauma by pointed object. Results: Twelve cases, all male, of penetrating cranioencephalic sharp-force trauma were identified. The mean age was 34 ± 7 years, with extremes of 11 and 60 years. Farmers and herders accounted for 31% and 25% of cases respectively. The average admission time was 47 hours. Brawls were the circumstances of occurrence in 81.2% of cases. Knives (33%), arrows (25%) and iron bars (16.6%) were the objects used. Altered consciousness was present in 43.8% of cases, and focal deficit in 50%. Scannographic lesions were fracture and/or embarrhment (12 cases), intra-parenchymal haematomas (6 cases) and presence of object in place (4 cases). Surgery was performed in 11 patients. Postoperative outcome was favorable in 9 patients. After 12 months, 2 patients were declared unfit. Conclusion: Penetrating head injuries caused by sharp objects are common in Chad. Urgent surgery can prevent disabling after-effects.展开更多
