Abstract:
Objective:To explore relationship among severity of cerebral infarction (CI) ,arteriosclerosis and serum level of cystatin C (CysC) in young and middle‐aged patients with atherosclerotic cerebral infarction (ACI) .Methods:A total of 82 young and middle‐aged ACI patients treated in our hospital from Feb 2013 to Sep 2015 were enrolled .According to CI volume ,they were divided into small infarction group (n=36 ) , medium infarction group (n=22 ) and large infarction group (n=24);according to CI severity ,they were divided into mild CI group (n=54) and severe CI group (n=28);ac‐cording to atherosclerotic plaque nature ,they were divided into stable plaque group (n=45) and unstable plaque group (n=37) .Another 46 healthy people were regarded as healthy control group .Serum CysC level during emergency period and recovery period and carotid intima‐media thickness (IMT) were measured and compared among all groups .Results:Com‐pared with emergency period ,there was significant reduction in serum CysC level in all subgroups of ACI during recovery period , P<0. 01 all;compared with healthy control group ,there were significant rise in serum CysC level [recovery peri‐od:(0.81 ± 0.24) mg/L vs .(1.03 ± 0.13) mg/L vs .(1.09 ± 0.19) mg/L vs .(1.18 ± 0.10) mg/L] during emergency period and recovery period in small ,medium and large infarction group ,and that of large infarction group was significantly higher than those of small and medium infarction group (P<0.01 all) .Compared with healthy control group ,there was significant rise in serum CysC level [recovery period:(0.81 ± 0.24)mg/L vs .(1.07 ± 0.15)mg/L vs .(1.19 ± 0.16)mg/L] during emergency period and recovery period in mild and severe infarction group ,and that of severe infarction group was significantly higher than that of mild infarction group ,P<0.01 all .Compared with healthy control group ,there were sig‐nificant rise in serum CysC level[(0.81 ± 0.24)mg/L vs .(1.18 ± 0.15)mg/L vs .(1.39 ± 0.27)mg/L]during emergency pe‐riod and IMT [(0.72 ± 0.10) mm vs .(1.24 ± 0.17) mm vs .(1.30 ± 0.14) mm]in stable plaque group and unstable plaque group ,and those of unstable plaque group were significantly higher than those of stable plaque group ,P<0. 01 all .Conclu‐sion:The serum CysC level significantly rises in ACI patients ,it can be used as an index for ACI prevention and treatment .
