Title: Carotid Plaque in Patients with Cerebral Infarction and the Relationship between It and Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein A
Abstract: [Objective] To study the relationship between atherosclerotic plaque and cerebral infarction, and the relationship between it and pregnancy associatedplasma protein A.[Methods]Carotid ultrasound was performed in 215 patients with acute cerebral infarction by VOIUSON 730 color ultrasonography. The plaque occurrence conditions of cerebral infarction group and non-cerebral infarction group were compared. The relationship between disease history, personal history, pregnancy associated plasma protein A and carotid atherosclerosis was analyzed by multivariate analysis.[Results]The detected number of carotid atherosclerotic plaque in cerebral infarction group was more than that in non-cerebral infarction group, and the soft plaque rate of cerebral infarction group was higher than that of non-cerebral infarction group (P0.05).The analysis result indicated that pregnancy associated plasma protein A was the influencing factor of carotid atherosclerotic plaque in patients with cerebral infarction.[Conclusion] There is a close relationship between carotid atherosclerotic plaque and cerebral infarction, the level of pregnancy associated plasma protein A may reflect the existing risk of carotid atherosclerotic plaque.
