Abstract:
Objective To study the relationship between the serum level of matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9),carotid plaque and human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection in the patients with carotid atherosclerosis (CAS). Methods The antigen of HCMV-PP65, serum level of MMP-9 and the results of coloured doppler sonography from 90 cases with CAS were analyzed and compared. Results (1)The contents of MMP-9 in antigen of HCMV-PP65 positive (A) group, negative (B) group and normal control (C) group was (260.25?89.03)pg/ml, (157.47?78.28) pg/ml and (138.65?80.73)pg/ml, respectively. Group A was significant higher than groups B and C (all P
