Abstract:To investigate the effect of Brain Glycoside Peptide Injection in combination with acupuncture on levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and nitric oxide (NO) for patients with pediatric peripheral facial nerve palsy. Methods Ninety-eight children of peripheral facial nerve palsy who received therapy in our hospital from January 2013 to June 2015 were selected as research objects. According to random number table, they were divided into the control group (n = 49) and the observation group (n = 49). All patients were given conventional treatments. Besides that, the control group was given acupuncture, while the observation group was given Brain Glycoside Peptide Injection in combination with acupuncture. Then, the curative efficacy, House -Brackmann grading score for facial nerve, levels of serum MDA, SOD and NO, and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results The observation group had a total effective rate of 98.0%, which was statistically higher than 83.7% of the control group (p < 0.05). After treatment, in comparison with the control group, the observation group had statistically higher House-Brackmann score for facial nerve [(4.52 ±1.02) vs (3.65 ±1.14)], lower level of serum MDA [(3.21 ±0.57) vs (4.98 ±0.79) mmol/L] and higher levels of serum SOD[(92.73 ±9.76) vs (60.51 ±8.67) mIU/ml] and NO [(79.15 ±8.82) vs (50.78 ±7.34) μmol/L] (p < 0.05). During the treatment, there was no severe adverse reaction in either group. Conclusions Brain Glycoside Peptide Injection in combination with acupuncture is effective for pediatric peripheral facial nerve palsy with high therapeutic efficacy. And it can significantly promote the recovery of neurological function and improve the levels of serum MDA, SOD and NO with mild adverse reactions.
