ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the correlation between red cell distribution width to platelet ratio and short-term prognosis in acute ischemic stroke.Methods The patients with ischemic stroke admitted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University during the initial 24 hours after the onset of disease between 2015-2017 were recruited prospectively.Red cell distribution width (RDW),platelet and clinical characteristics were recorded.Functional outcome at 90 days after ischemic stroke was evaluated by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).Results Totally 1106 patients were included.Patients with poor functional outcome were older (P<0.001=and had more frequent histories of hypertension (P=0.015),diabetes (P=0.001),atrial fibrillation (P<0.001=,coronary heart disease (P=0.041),stroke (P<0.001=and higher National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)(P<0.001=,white blood cell count (P<0.001=,RDW (P<0.001=and RDW to platelet ratio (RPR) (P=0.034).Higher RPR levels were associated with poor functional outcome at 90 days after ischemic stroke[(odds ratio,OR) 1.09,(confidence interval,CI) 1.03~1.16,P=0.005]. Conclusion Higher RPR levels were associated with poor short-term outcome after acute ischemic stroke.
ABSTRACT
Inflammation response is an important pathological process of neuronal cell death after stroke.Interleukin (IL)-33/ST2 system is involved in the inflammatory response process of ischemic stroke and has been proved to be a protective factor.This article reviews the role and mechanism of IL-33/ST2 system in the regulation of immune inflammation after ischemic stroke.
