Abstract:Objective To study the effect of Probucol on serum uric acid, oxidative stress level and prognosis in patients with ischemic stroke. Methods One hundred and sixty patients with ischemic stroke were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. On the basis of basic treatment, the experimental group was treated with Atorvastatin and Probucol, the control group was treated with Atorvastatin only. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), malondialdehyde (MDA) and uric acid (UA) levels were measured in patients with ischemic stroke on the 1st day and the 14th day respectively. The neurological function was evaluated with the modified Rankin Scale on the 90th day. The correlations of Probucol with oxidative stress level, uric acid and clinical prognosis were analyzed. Results The rate of progressive stroke in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The neurological function of the experimental group was significantly better than that in the control group on the 90th day (P < 0.05). By comparing the levels of oxidative stress between the two groups, it was found that Probucol significantly decreased the levels of oxidative stress and uric acid, and improved the neurological function in the patients with cerebral infarction (P < 0.05). Conclusions Probucol can improve the prognosis of the patients with cerebral infarction by reducing the levels of oxidative stress and uric acid.
