METHODS: There were 269 patients with ischemic stroke and 182 control subjects included in this study. Serum levels of CTRP9 and APN multimers in different disease stages were measured.
RESULTS: Serum CTRP9, total APN (tAPN), and high-molecular weight (HMW) APN decreased gradually in stage I (acute stage, within 72 h of onset) of ischemic stroke and increased during stage III (11th day to one month) and stage IV (1 month after), compared to control. In the non-hyperlipidemia group, serum CTRP9, tAPN, and HMW were decreased in ischemic stroke patients compared to control (P < 0.05). Serum CTRP9 is closely related to serum tAPN and HMW (r = 0.992, 0.991). Serum CTRP9 are protective against ischemic stroke (OR = 0.400, 95% CI 0.197-0.810, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Lower serum CTRP9, tAPN, LMW, and HMW are significantly associated with increased ischemic stroke risk in non-hyperlipidemia subjects. CTRP9, tAPN, and HMW isoforms may be valuable clinical indicators for patients with ischemic stroke.
方法:本研究包括269例缺血性卒中患者和182例对照组。测量不同疾病阶段的CTRP9和APN多聚体的血清水平。
结果:血清CTRP9,总APN(tAPN),高分子量(HMW)APN在I期(急性期,发病72小时内)缺血性卒中,并在III期(第11天至1个月)和IV期(1个月后)增加,与控制相比。在非高脂血症组中,血清CTRP9,tAPN,与对照组相比,缺血性卒中患者的HMW降低(P<0.05)。血清CTRP9与血清tAPN、HMW密切相关(r=0.992、0.991)。血清CTRP9对缺血性脑卒中具有保护作用(OR=0.400,95%CI0.197~0.810,P<0.05)。
结论:降低血清CTRP9,tAPN,LMW,和HMW与非高脂血症受试者缺血性卒中风险增加显著相关。CTRP9,tAPN,HMW亚型可能是缺血性卒中患者有价值的临床指标。
