Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship betweenthe stability of carotid artery plaque and cystatin C,homocysteine. Methods A total of 1 50 cerebral infarction patients with carotid artery plaque treated in Hospital of the First Electricity Authority in Guangdong were selected as the research subjects.According to Color Doppler ultrasound scanning,the patients were divided into the observation group (86 unstable plaque patients)and control group(64 stable plaque patients).Peripheral venous blood from the patients of both groups were collected for the detection of cystatin C,homocysteine,serum total cholesterol and fibrinogen levels and the results of detection were compared between the two groups.Results The levels of cystatin C,homocysteine,serum total choles-terol and fibrinogen in the observation group were significant higher than those of the control group(t =48.760,20.530,29.860, 33.720,P <0.05).The level of cystatin C was weak positive correlated with homocysteine(r =0.21,P <0.003).Multivariate lo-gistic regression analysis showed cystatin C,homocysteine,serum total cholesterol and fibrinogen were independent risk factors for carotid artery plaque instability in patients with cerebral infarction.Conclusion Cystatin C,homocysteine,serum total cholesterol and fibrinogen are important risk factors for carotid plaque instability,the cerebral infarction is closely related to the carotid artery plaque stability,so controlling the risk factors is the focus of prevention and treatment of cerebral infarction.
