Abstract:
Objective To explore the changes in serum angiotensin(Ang)and angiotensin Ⅳ(AngⅣ)levels in patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI),and analyze the correlation of their lev-els with cognitive dysfunction and severity of the disease.Methods A total of 280 ACI patients admitted in our hospital from January 2020 to January 2023 were enrolled in this study.According to the results of Mini-Mental Status Examination(MMSE),they were divided into normal cogni-tive group(MMSE score:≥ 27,n=147)and cognitive impairment(score:＜27,n=133),and those in the latter group were further assigned into mild(score:21-26,n=50),moderate(score:10-20,n=44)and severe(score:＜10,n=39)cognitive impairment subgroups.In addition,Pul-licino formula was used to calculate the infarct volume(V),and then 280 ACI patients were clas-sified into mild(V＜5 cm3,n=80),moderate(V 5-10 cm3,n=130),and severe(with＞10 cm3,n=70)infarction groups.The serum levels of Ang and Ang Ⅳ were compared among above different groups.Pearson correlation analysis was applied to study the correlation of serum Ang and Ang Ⅳ levels with cognitive dysfunction and its severity in the ACI patients.Results The se-rum Ang and Ang Ⅳ levels were higher in the cognitive impairment group than the normal cogni-tive group(P＜0.01).Significant differences were seen in their levels among the mild,moderate,and severe cognitive impairment subgroups(P＜0.01),and the levels were significantly highest in the severe cognitive impairment subgroup,followed by the moderate and then the mild subgroups(P＜0.01).There were also obvious differences in the serum levels of the two indicators among the severe,moderate,and mild infarction groups(P＜0.01).Pearson correlation analysis indicated that their serum levels were positively correlated with cognitive impairment(r=0.764,P=0.000;r=0.792,P=0.000),and with severity of infarction(r=0.801,P=0.000;r=0.807,P=0.000).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age,hypertension,diabetes,hyperlipidemia,smoking,genetics,and Ang and Ang Ⅳ levels were high-risk factors for cognition impairment.Conclusion Serum Ang and Ang Ⅳ levels are higher in ACI patients,and their levels are raised with increasing severity of cognitive impairment and increasing infarct size,in a positive correla-tion.The serum levels can be used as marker for cognitive impairment and severity of ACI.In addition,there are many high-risk factors for cognition,and serum Ang and Ang Ⅳ levels are also one of them.Clinically,the treatment plan should be optimized by combining these high-risk fac-tors to reduce the incidence of cognitive impairment after ACI.
