Change level of serum homocysteine, folic acid and vitamin B12 levels in young patients with ischemic stroke and the effect of the intervention / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the variations and prognostic factors of hyperhomocysteinaemia in ischemic cerebral apoplexy for the youth who administrated vitamin B6,vitamin B12 and folic acid at pretherapy and post-treatment.Methods One hundred and twenty cases of young patients with ischemic cerebral apoplexy in the Pinggu Hospital of Capital University from January 2003 to December 2013 as case group(intervention group,60 cases and 60 cases of non-intervention group),while 120 youth volunteers with the same period and age without neurological diseases as a control group.Both groups patients were detected for hyperhomocysteinaemia,folic acid and vitamin B12.The non-intervention group was administrated basic treatment,while the intervention group administrated vitamin B6,vitamin B12 and folic acid on this basis.The hyperhomocysteinaemia,folic acid and vitamin B12 were detected repetitively after four weeks.Results Compared with control group,the hyperhomocysteinaemia in ischemic cerebral apoplexy group for the youth had increased significantly ((10.2 ± 3.1) μmmol/L vs.(21.3 ± 4.5) μmmol/L,P ＜ 0.05).The hyperhomocysteinaemia,folic acid and vitamin B12 had no significant differences between intervention group and non-intervention group (P ＞ 0.05).After replenished vitamin B6,vitamin B12 and folic acid,the hyperhomocysteinaemia had decreased significantly ((10.5 ± 3.0) μmnol/L) in intervention group.Folic acid ((6.5±2.8)μg/L) and vitamin B12(450.2±155.6) ng/L) had increased significantly(P＜0.05).Conclusion The hyperhomocysteinaemia increased in ischemic cerebral apoplexy for the youth.It is that hyperhomocysteinaemia decreased by replenished vitamin B6,vitamin B12 and folic acid which make for prognosis in ischemic cerebral apoplexy for the youth.
