Abstract：Objective To study the association between homocysteine (Hcy), cystatin C(Cys C), and reti-nol binding protein(RBP) and atherosclerotic diseases, and to explore their clinical applications of prevention , diag-nosis and prognosis in atherosclerotic diseases .Methods The levels of serum Hcy , CysC and RBP were analyzed in 32 patients with coronary heart disease(CHD), in 64 patients with cerebral infarction, in 120 patients with carotid atherosclerosis , and in 200 healthy controls , respectively .The results were analyzed and compared among different groups of patients with different diseases .Results The levels of serum Hcy , CysC and RBP were significantly higher in the patients with coronary heart disease , crebral infarction , and carotid atherosclerotic than those in the healthy controls.Conclusion There is a correlation between the elevated levels of serum Hcy , Cys C, RBP and atheroscle-rotic diseases, indicating that they might be used as laboratory indicators for the prevention , diagnosis, and prognosis of atherosclerotic diseases .
