Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical significance of plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol changes at different time in acute cerebral infarction.Methods The clinical data of 62 patients with acute cerebral infarction (acute cerebral infarction group) were analyzed retrospectively,and 60 healthy cases in the same period were recruited as control group.The plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol levels at 8:00,16:00 and 24:00 of two groups were detected by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay.Results Plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol levels at 8:00,16:00 and 24:00 in acute cerebral infarction group were significantly higher than those in control group [(20.5 ± 4.2) pmol/L vs.(10.4 ±2.6) pmol/L,(18.9 ±4.9) pmol/L vs.(8.5 ± 2.1) pmol/L,(18.1 ±3.8) pmol/L vs.(7.1 ±2.4) pmol/L and (542 ± 76) nmol/L vs.(469 ± 65) nmol/L,(528 ±43) nmol/L vs.(341 ± 33) nmol/L,(499 ± 32) nmol/L vs.(196 ±27) nmol/L](P＜0.05); plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol levels of severe degree acute cerebral infarction at different time were higher than those of light conditions (P＜0.05 ); plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol levels at different time of acute cerebral infarction patients with good prognosis were significantly lower than those of the persons with poorprognosis(P＜0.05).Conclusion Plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol testing at different time has clinical significance in determining the condition and prognosis of patients with acute cerebral infarction.
