Objective To demonstrate the moderate hypothermia's effect to acute cerebrovascular disease.Methods 82 prospective patients with acute cerebrovascular disease treated by moderate hypothermia were evaluated.According to the standard of clinical neurologic deficiency ,we contrasted the clinical and laboratory effect of control before moderate hypothermia and after moderate hypothermia. Results The neurologic function and SOD improved obviously; NO,ICAM-1,IL-1 and temperature decreased after moderate hypothermic therapy;patients'survival rate and recovery rate improved obviously too.The best therapy time was within 2h after acute cerebrevascular disease happened. Conclusions Moderate hypothermia can improve heal rate of brain damage and decrease mortality and disable rate.
