Abstract

Effect of donepezil on the homocysteine (Hcy) level in serum of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and correlation between Hcy and dyssomnia was investigated. A retrospective analysis of 124 AD patients in Zhengzhou University People's Hospital between January 2015 and October 2017 was performed, including 64 cases in the observation group and 60 cases in the control group. The control group was treated with folic acid, vitamin B12 and memantine hydrochloride tablet, and the observation group combined with donepezil on this basis, and both groups were treated for 4 months. The Hcy level before and after treatment was detected in the groups using ELISA method, dyssomnia score of patients was performed before and after treatment in the observation group according to Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and correlation analysis between the Hcy level before and after treatment and dyssomnia was performed in AD patients in the study group using Pearson's correlation analysis. The differences were statistically significant in the Hcy level before and after treatment in both groups (P<0.001). The Hcy level after treatment in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.001). The dyssomnia score before treatment was higher that after treatment in the observation group (P<0.001). There was a positive correlation between the Hcy level before treatment and dyssomnia score (r=0.658, P<0.001). There was also a positive correlation between the Hcy level after treatment and dyssomnia score (r=0.670, P<0.001). Donepezil can effectively improve the sleep function of patients and reduce the Hcy level in serum in the treatment of AD patients. The application of donepezil was of great significance in the clinical treatment of AD patients.
