The expression of C1q/TNF-related protein-1 in patients with acute ischemic stroke and its predictive value for the severity of neurological deficits / 实用医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the expression of C1q/TNF-related protein-1(CTRP1)in patients with acute ischemic stroke and its predictive value for the severity of neurological deficits. Methods A total of 452 patients with newly diagnosed ischemic stroke(IS)from February 2014 to February 2017 in our hospital were selected as the study subjects,and 403 healthy subjects were selected as control group in the physical examination center. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)was used to evaluate the neurological status of pa-tients at admission and at 6 months after discharge. The expression of CTRP1 in plasma was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between neu-rological deficit and CTRP1. Results The expression level the CTRP1in the healthy control group[(119.53 ± 17.62)ng/mL],unexplained causes IS[(145.81 ± 18.96)ng/mL],large atherosclerotic IS[(153.17 ± 19.21) ng/mL],cardiac IS[(156.56 ± 20.96)ng/mL]and small artery occlusion IS[(169.23 ± 22.34)ng/mL]in-creased gradually with statistically significant difference(P < 0.05). The level of CTRP1in the healthy control group[(119.53 ± 17.62)ng/mL],mild neurologic impairment group[(156.29 ± 19.86)ng/mL],moderate neuro-logic impairment group[(168.74 ± 18.53)ng/mL]and severe neurologic impairment group[(175.96 ± 19.15)ng/mL]increased gradually with statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that CTRP1,age,diabetes,Hs-CRP and LDL-C were independent factors of neurological deficits at 6 months after discharge in IS patients. Conclusion CTRP1 can effectively predict the severity of neurological defi-cits in patients with acute IS.
