ABSTRACT
Serum concentrations of resistin and neuron-specific enolage(NSE)were determined in 72 patients with cerebral infarction(CI),60 patients with multi-infarct dementia(MID),and 60 healthy controls by means of ELISA.Our data showed that serum resistin and NSE in the CI acute phase group were significantly higher than those in the normal control group(P＜0.01).No significant difference was found in serum resistin and NSE between the CI recovery phase group and normal controls group.Moreover,no significant difference was found in serum resistin between the MID group and CI recovery phase and normal control groups(P＞0.05);but NSE Was relatively lower(P＜0.05).This study suggest that serum resistin and NSE might be of great significance to patient's condition and prognosis.
