Exploring the Therapeutic Effect of Lumannate Sodium Capsules Combined with Donepezil Hydrochloride Tablets in the Treatment of Mild to Moderate Alzheimer's Disease Based on Neurotransmitters and Gut Microbiota
Objective:To investigate the changes in neurotransmitters,cognitive function,and gut microbiota in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease(AD)treated with a combination of donepezil hydrochloride tablets and mannitol sodium capsules.Methods:The random number table method was used,102 AD patients admitted to our hospital from March 2020 to March 2023 were divided into control group(n=51,treated with donepezil hydrochloride tablets)and study group(n=51,treated with ganlute sodium capsules combine with donepezil hydrochloride tablets).The related scale scores,neurotransmitters and intestinal flora in two groups were compared.Results:The score of Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE),Activity of Daily Living(ADL),serum acetylcholine(Ach),5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)and glutamic acid(Glu),number of fecal Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus in study group was higher than that in control group 6 months after treatment,and the scores of Behavioral Pathology of Dementia(BEHAVE-AD),number offecal Clostridium,Staphylococcus,Pseudomonas and Bacillus proteus in study group were lower than those in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Combination treatment of donepezil hydrochloride tablets and mannitol sodium capsules for mild to moderate AD patients,can improve cognitive function,regulate neurotransmitters and gut microbiota.
