Objective To understand the correlation between plasma von Wilebrand factor (vWF) changes after stenting and the degree of preoperative intracranial major artery stenosis in patients with acute atherosclerotie cerebral infarction. Methods This study involved 38 consecutive patients with acute cerebral infarction due to intracranial major artery atherosclerosis, who were admitted between February and October 2008 and underwent stent placement in the stenotic arteries. Thirty healthy volunteers were also recruited to serve as the control group. The patients were divided into severe stenosis group (with stenosis of the intracranial major artery≥70%) and non-severe stenosis groups. Venous blood samples were obtained from the subjects on the morning of the first and 7th days after admission to measure the plasma levels of vWF using sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results The plasma levels of vWF were significantly higher in patients with acute cerebral infarction than in the control group(P=0.000). Compared with those with non-severe stenosis, the patients with severe stenosis exhibited significantly higher plasma levels of vWF (P=0.015) and greater vWF variation after stent placement (P=0.000). Conclusions In patients with acute atherosclerotic cerebral infarction due to severe intracranial major artery stenosis, the plasma levels of vWF and its postoperative variation are positively correlated to the degree of senosis of the culprit arteries, and severer stenosis is associated with greater postoperative damage of the vascular endothelium.  相似文献

Negative motor evoked potentials after cerebral infarction, indicative of poor recovery of limb motor function, tend to be accompanied by changes in fractional anisotropy values and the cerebral pe-duncle area on the affected side, but the characteristics of these changes have not been reported. This study included 57 cases of cerebral infarction whose motor evoked potentials were tested in the 24 hours after the first inspection for diffusion tensor imaging, in which 29 cases were in the negative group and 28 cases in the positive group. Twenty-nine patients with negative motor evoked potentials were divided into two groups according to fractional anisotropy on the affected side of the cerebral peduncle: a fractional anisotropy 〈 0.36 group and a fractional anisotropy 〉 0.36 group. All patients underwent a regular magnetic resonance imaging and a diffusion tensor imaging examina- tion at 1 week, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after cerebral infarction. The FugI-Meyer scores of their hemiplegic limbs were tested before the magnetic resonance and diffusion tensor imaging exami-nations. In the negative motor evoked potential group, fractional anisotropy in the affected cerebral peduncle declined progressively, which was most obvious in the first 1-3 months after the onset of cerebral infarction. The areas and area asymmetries of the cerebral peduncle on the affected side were significantly decreased at 6 and 12 months after onset. At 12 months after onset, the area asymmetries of the cerebral peduncle on the affected side were lower than the normal lower limit value of 0.83. FugI-Meyer scores in the fractional anisotropy ≥0.36 group were significantly higher than in the fractional anisotropy 〈 0.36 group at 3-12 months after onset. The fractional anisotropy of the cerebral peduncle in the positive motor evoked potential group decreased in the first 1 month after onset, and stayed unchanged from 3-12 months; there was no change in the area of the cerebral peduncle in the first 1-12 months after cerebral infarction. These findings confirmed that if the fractional anisotropy of the cerebral peduncle on the affected side is 〈 0.36 and the area asym-metries 〈 0.83 in patients with negative motor evoked potential after cerebral infarction, then poor hemiplegic limb motor function recovery may occur.  相似文献

We hypothesized that restenosis after coronary stenting is predicted by elevated levels of markers of thrombus formation and inflammation. Plasma levels of representative markers of inflammation, the thrombin and plasmin activation systems and adhesion molecules were measured in 59 patients with stable angina pectoris before, immediately after and 6 hours (h), 12 h, 24 h, one month and six months after elective stent implantation (radioactive phosphorus-32 stents/RSs/ n = 16, bare-metal stents/BMSs/ n = 43). All patients underwent clinical and angiographic follow-up (FUP) six months after stenting. RSs had significantly higher angiographic severity of restenosis than BMSs (47.1 +/- 20.1% vs. 27.6 +/- 22.0%, p = 0.003). Repeated measures ANOVA revealed significant differences between the BMS and RS groups as regards the increases in plasma levels of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1, p = 0.022), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1, p = 0.047), tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA, p = 0.047) and CD40 ligand (CD40L, p = 0.038). tPA levels tended to increase immediately after stenting in both groups, whereas the PAI-1 level one month after stenting was elevated significantly only in the RS group. In the RS group, the plasma levels of CD40L were increased at 24 h and six months after stenting, and the VCAM-1 level rose immediately after stenting and remained high during the FUP. Multivariate analysis on pooled laboratory data of both groups revealed elevated levels of VCAM-1 at 12 h and at six months as significant predictors of the severity of stent restenosis. In conclusion, the process of inflammation and thrombosis occurring after coronary interventions seems to be prolonged and enhanced in patients with high-grade restenosis at the follow up.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is the gold-standard procedure for the majority of patients with high-grade symptomatic internal carotid artery stenosis and also for specified high-grade asymptomatic stenoses; however, a proportion of patients are treated with carotid endovascular therapy. We aimed to document medium-term clinical and neurosonographical outcome after carotid artery stenting (CAS). METHODS: 53 patients (mean age: 65 +/- 8 years) with high-grade (> or = 70 % by means of duplex sonography) carotid artery stenosis were enrolled into the study. Nineteen patients had asymptomatic, 34 patients had symptomatic stenoses. All patients had a pre-interventional CT, Doppler and duplex sonography, and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) prior to the procedural DSA. All patients were offered CEA as the gold-standard procedure and as an alternative to CAS. Both clinical and Duplex sonographical follow-up was obtained at day 1 and 7, month 1, month 3, month 6, month 12, and every subsequent 6 months after the procedure. Mean follow-up time was 22 +/- 1.6 months (+/- SEM). RESULTS: 2/53 patients suffered from stroke. A further 2 patients suffered from carotid artery occlusion shortly after CAS. The cumulative rate of restenosis during follow-up was 24.5 % (13/53). Four of these (7.5 %) were of high-grade and led to further interventional or surgical therapy. CONCLUSIONS: A high rate of restenosis was found during follow-up after CAS. Our analysis of non-selected patients emphasizes that CEA remains the gold-standard procedure for the treatment of symptomatic internal carotid artery stenosis. The frequently performed endovascular treatment of carotid stenosis outside the setting of a randomized controlled trial is not supported by our data.  相似文献
