EFFECT OF INVESTIGATIONAL COMBINATIONS OF NEUROPROTECTANTS ON THE LEVEL OF S 100 AND NSE PROTEIN IN THE BLOOD SERUM...

Ischemic cerebral stroke (ICS) is a devastating neurological pathology associated with enormous comorbidity and mortality. Preliminary experimental screening of cerebroprotective agents with different mechanisms of action was performed: Edaravone, Cerebrolysin, Choline alfoscerate, Citicoline, Mexidol, the most effective combinations of cerebroprotectors were identified, followed by their screening for efficacy in clinical conditions by neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and S100 protein, as one of the main biochemical markers of brain damage in acute ischemic stroke. Different combinations of neuroprotectants identified as the most effective in experimental screening differed in their ability to correct serum levels of S100 and NSE protein in ischemic stroke in clinical settings. The lowest effectiveness in the correction of neuroglioproliferative processes was recorded when using only conventional therapy (CT), which was determined according to the Order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine of 03.08.2012 №602, without the use of neuroprotectors. Whereas, the use of a neuroprotective combination/complex (NPC) (cerebrolysin+citicoline) in the treatment of ischemic strokes in terms of the effectiveness of correction of neuroglioproliferative processes was 1,7-2,7 times (p<0.01) higher than conventional therapy, and 1,2-1,4 times (p<0.05) higher than treatment that included the use of a neuroprotective combination - cerebrolysin+mexidol.
