Objective To observe the relationship between the serum level changes of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), interleukin (IL)-18, intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM1), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2), and the multiple factors of acute cerebral infarction (ACI). Methods We chose 76 patients with ACI treated between July 2012 and June 2014 as our study subjects.On the second day (acute phase) and the 15th day (recovery phase) after onset, we checked the patients for their serum levels of hsCRP, IL-18, ICAM1, MMP-9 and Lp-PLA2.Then, multiple linear regression analysis was performed to observe the correlation of the serum level change degree of inflammatory factors with hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, smoking history, carotid atherosclerotic plaque, lipid levels, infarct size and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score. Results The changes of all the inflammatory factors in the acute phase and the recovery phase of cerebral infarction were not significantly related to smoking history, hypertension, coronary heart disease, low-density lipoprotein and NIHSS scores (P > 0.05).The changes of hsCRP and ICAM1 had significant correlation with cerebral infarct size, diabetes mellitus and carotid atherosclerotic plaque (P < 0.05), and the change level of Lp-PLA2 was related to diabetes mellitus, and carotid atherosclerotic plaque (P < 0.05).MMP-9 serum level change had correlation with only cerebral infarct size (P < 0.05). Conclusions Serum level changes of inflammatory factors are related to various factors of cerebral infarction.The main factors that affecting the serum level changes are cerebral infarction area, diabetes mellitus and carotid atherosclerosis.
