ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Type 2 diabetes is a common metabolic disease that is often complicated by abnormal lipid metabolism.
Research motivation
As an antiplatelet drug and thromboxane A inhibitor, sodium ozagrel is widely used to treat ischemic cerebrovascular diseases.
Research objectives
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.
Research methods
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).
Research results
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.
Research conclusions
Sodium ozagrel with atorvastatin can reduce inflammatory reactions.
Research perspectives
The results need to be verified with further larger scale studies and include other statins in combination with ozagrel.
