Abstract：Objective To investigate the clinical significance of serum levels of adiponectin (APN),homocysteine(Hcy) and high-sensitive C-reaction protein (hs-CRP) in patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI).Methods One hundred patients with ACI were selected and divided into different groups according to the size of infarction and clinical neurologic impairment degree score. 35 healthy people were used as control group. APN and Hcy concentrations were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The serum hs-CRP level was detected by immunoturbidimetry. Results The serum APN levels in the patients with ACI were significantly lower than those in the healthy subjects(P＜0.05). The serum levels of APN decreased steply with the volume of infarction;the serum levels of APN decreased steply with the clinical neurologic impairment degree score,the differences of APN levels between the groups were significant (all P＜0.05). The serum Hcy and hs-CRP levels in the patients with ACI were significantly higher than those in the healthy subjects(12.5 ± 2.3)mg/L(P＜0.05). The serum levels of Hcy and hs-CRP increased steply with the volume of infarction [(8.8 ± 1.9) mg/L,(5.6 ± 1.3) mg/L,(2.7 ±0.8)mg/L];the serum levels of Hcy and hs-CRP increased steply with the clinical neurologic impairment degree score [(8.5±1.7)mg/L,(5.4±1.1)mg/L,(2.5±0.7)mg/L],the differences of levels of Hcy and hsCRP between two groups were significant (all P＜0.05). Conclusions The APN,Hcy and hs-CRP may play an important role in the pathogenesis of ACI. The serum level of APN,Hcy and hs-CRP is closely correlated with the volume of infarction and the clinical neurologic impairment degree score,which may be of great value in predicting acute cerebral infarction and the severity of cerebral infarction.
