Abstract:
Objective: To explore relationship among serum levels of homocysteine (Hcy), interleukin (IL)-10, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and infarct volume in patients with acute cerebral infarction（CI）. Methods: A total of 125 acute CI patients were regard as acute CI group, and another 37 healthy subjects were enrolled as healthy control group. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method was used to measure serum levels of Hcy, IL-10 and MMP-9 of subjects; according to infarct volume, acute CI patients were divided into small infarction group (≤5cm3, n=47), medium infarction group (5~15 cm3, n=41) and large infarction group (≥15cm3, n=37); changes of levels of Hcy, IL-10 and MMP-9 were compared among all groups. Results: Compared with healthy control group, there were significant increase in levels of MMP-9 and Hcy, and significant decrease in IL-10 level in acute CI group. Compared with small and medium infarction groups, there was significant increase in serum Hcy level [(16.11±3.5) μmol/L, (16.79±3.4) μmol/L vs. (18.5±4.2) μmol/L, P<0.01, P<0.05] in large infarction group； Compared with small infarction group, there was significant increase in serum MMP-9 level [(161±27) ng/ml vs. (238±26) ng/ml, (256±35) ng/ml, P<0.05, P<0.01]；Compared with small infarction and medium infarction groups, there were significant decrease in IL-10 level [(0.60±0.17) ng/ml vs. (0.59±0.15) ng/ml, (0.31±0.12) ng/ml, P<0.01 both] in large infarction groups. Conclusion: Serum levels of homocysteine, interleukin-10 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 are related to onset of acute cerebral infarction, and may reflect risk degree of cerebral infarction.
