Abstract:
Objective To observe the change of peripheral blood CD34+ cell level in patients with acute cerebral infarction, and explore its relationships with cerebrovascular risk factors,neurological function and carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT). Methods The 45 patients with acute cerebral infarction (onset within 72 h) (infarction group) and 27 patients with cerebr ovascular risk factors but without cerebral infarction (high-risk group) were chosen for the study. The cerebrovascular disease risk factors including history of alcohol abuse, smoking, coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, abnormal levels of serum triglycerides, total cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were recorded in all subjects. The peripheral blood CD34+ cell levels were measured by flow cytometry.The correlations of peripheral blood CD34+ cell level with cerebrovascular disease risk factors were analyzed. The neurological function and carotid artery IMT were recorded in infarction group, and the correlations of peripheral blood CD34+ cell level with neurological function and carotid artery IMT were analyzed. Results (1) The peripheral blood CD34+ cell level was significantly negatively correlated with coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and LDL-C level (r =- 0. 749,-0. 717, - 0. 688, - 0. 764, all P＜0. 01) ; (2) Multiple linear regression analysis showed that peripheral blood CD34+ cell level was an independent relative factor of acute cerebral infarction (P＜0.05); (3) The peripheral blood CD34+ cell level was lower in infarction group than in high-risk group, and was significantly negatively correlated with neurological deficit score (r=-0. 721, P＜0.01) and carotid artery IMT (r= -0. 695, P＜0. 01). Conclusions Peripheral blood CD34+ cell level could be an independent relative factor of acute cerebral infarction; The peripheral blood CD34+ cell level is significantly negatively correlated with neurological function and carotid artery IMT in patients with acute cerebral infarction; And it can be used as cytological marker which reflect early vascular endothelial function in patients with ischemic stroke.
