Type 2 diabetes is a common metabolic disease that is often complicated by abnormal lipid metabolism.
As an antiplatelet drug and thromboxane A inhibitor, sodium ozagrel is widely used to treat ischemic cerebrovascular diseases.
We want to observe the effects of sodium ozagrel combined with atorvastatin on high-mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) and high-sensitivity-C reactive protein (hs-CRP) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and lacunar infarction.
Eighty-two patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and lacunar infarction treated were categorized into two groups according to the method of treatment (41 patients in each group).
After treatment, the blood glucose indexes; blood lipid indexes; inflammatory factors; HMGB1, paraoxonase-1, and macrophage migration inhibitory factor levels; erythrocyte sedimentation rate; platelet aggregation rate; and plasma viscosity of the observation group were better than those of the control group.
Sodium ozagrel with atorvastatin can reduce inflammatory reactions.
The results need to be verified with further larger scale studies and include other statins in combination with ozagrel.
