| Objective: To investigate the changes of plasma oxidized low density lipoprotein(OX-LDL) and serum level of lipids in patients with acute cerebral infarction fromdifferent altitudes, discussing the change of OX-LDL and serum lipids functionamong cerebral infarction patients and healthy subjects at different altitudes.Materials and methods: To choose84patients with cerebral infarction,and accordingto the elevation divided into three groups, meanwhile healthy subjects were selectedas control. Plasma OX-LDL level were detected by ELISA method. Other related riskfactors including age, sex, and serum lipids level were also examined.Results: The different of plasma level of OX-LDL and serum lipids in cerebralinfarction groups in incidence of significance (P<0·05), and the plasma level ofOX-LDL in patients with cerebral infarction groups were significantly higher thannormal controls (P<0·01). The level of TCã€TG and LDL in cerebral infarction groupswere also significantly higher than healthy controls (P<0·05). The level of HDL inpatient with cerebral infarction were gradually lower than control groups at differentaltitudes (P<0·01).Conclutions: Plasma level of OX-LDL are dramatically increased in the patients withacute cerebral infarction at different altitudes. Along with the rising of altitudes, thelevel of OX-LDL were rised up,thus OX-LDL may participate in the pathophysiologicprocess of cerebral infarction. TCã€TGã€LDL were risk factor for cerebral infarction.Within the rise of altitudes, the serum level of HDL were gradually lower, maybe it is a potential protective factor. In a word, HDL may decrease the risk of the cerebralinfarction. |
