Abstract:
Objective To investigate the changes and clinical implications of VE-eadherin during the courseof progressive cerebral infarction.Method One hundred sixty-seven patients with acute cerebral infarction of Rong Jun General Hospital of Shandong Province and the Central People' s Hospital of Tengzhou were diagnosed in our hospital from May 2006 to July 2007,were diagnosed according to the ill%gnome criteria set by the 4th national cerebrovascular disease conference in 1995.Of them there were 102 ases with progressive cerebral infarction patients and 65 cases with non-progressive cerebral infaction.The progressive cerebral infarction patients were divided into 3 groups according to Pullicino's expressions:the big infarction focus(32 patients) ,the medium-sized infarction focus(34 patients) and the small infarction focus(36 patients) .The neurological deficits were divided into 3 groups according to the crrteria set by the 4th national cerebrovascular disease conference in 1995:light-defictits(38 patients),the moderate dificits (32 patients) and sever ditlcits (32 patients).The 65 non-progressive irffarction patients were stable without headache,vertigo and tinnitus.Arother 60 healthy subjects were entered as control group.Blood samples of all the patients' were collected at 0 h,24 h,3 d,7 d,14 d,24 d and the serum VE-eadherin by ELISA method was asaayed.All the data were analyzed by SPSS 10.0 software and One-way ANOVA was applied to intergroup comparisons for mote than two groups.Results The VF-cadherin level of patieras with progressive infarction increased in acute stage,reached the peak 3 days after onset,declined remarkably 7 days later and got nearly normalized within 21 days.The results were significantly different from those of non-progressive and controlgroup(P＜0.01).The VE-cadherin concentration was higher in patients with bigger size infarction and more sever symptoms.Conclusions The VE-cadherin level is related to the infarction size,course and the severity,and higher in the progressive group.VE-cadherin could be used for predicting prognostic of cerebral infarction and clinically valuable for treating ischemie cerebrovascular disease.
