Methods Ninety patients with cognitive impairment in type 2 diabetes were randomly divided into oxiracetam group( A)( n = 30) with oxiracetam 800 mg,tid,po; nimodipine group( B)( n = 30) with nimodipine 20 mg,tid,po; and combined group( C)( n = 30) with oxiracetam plus nimodipine of the same dose. After tweleve-week treatment,the Montreal cognitive assessment( Mo CA) and activities of daily living( ADL) scale were evaluated. Neuron-specific enolase( NSE) and S-100β protein expressions in blood serum and drug adverse reactions were also evaluated. Results After tweleve-week treatment,Mo CA score was significantly increased( P 0. 05) and ADL scale was significantly reduced in all of the three groups( P 0. 05),and the changes in the C group was much more obvious than other two groups( P 0. 01). After treatment,NSE and S-100β protein expressions in blood serum of group A and B were obviously reduced compared with before treatment( P 0. 05),while group C were more dramatically reduced compared with A and Bgroup( P 0. 01). No obvious side effect was observed in the period of treatment in all the three groups.Conclusion Oxiracetam combined with nimodipine treatment was superior to either of the single regiment in the treatment of cognitive impairment in type 2 diabetes without increasing the risk of developing side effect by inhibiting NSE and S-100β expressions.Read More
