Study On The Relationship Between Silent Brain Infarction And Diabetes

1. The Clinical Significance of Silent Cerebral InfarctionThe purposes: To investigate the incidence, the area of infarction of SilentCerebral Infarction and its relevant risk factors.Materials and methods: The clinical data of 114 patients older than 65 (theaverage age is 77.34) were collected from the clinic physical examined and hospitalizedfrom July 2006 to Dec. 2006. All of the patients didn't have any explicit Nerves SystemOrganic disease. Define the part and size of SCI by using CT or MRI. Confirm itsrelevant factors of SCI.Results: A total of 114 were diagnosed as SCI, the area of infarction was basalganglion, lateral ventricle, deep white matter of brain, thalamus, brainstem. The mostpart of lesions sizes were 5-15mm in diameters. The incidences of the multiple sizesfocus were 44.55%. The significant factors for SCI are ages, hypertension and diabetes.2. The Correlation between Silent Cerebral Infarction andDiabetesThe purposes: To investigate the relationship between Silent Cerebral Infarctionand Diabetes.Materials and methods: In the first part of the total 114 patients with SCI,diabetes were 65, and 100 diabetes hospitalized at the same period with the average age73.56, defined according to Diagnostic Criteria of the Diabetes in 1999, without SCI byusing CT or MRI were collected for the comparison. Through the examination of theircourse of diabetes, and the test of FBG, HbAIc, FINS, FCP, and ISI, the relationshipbetween the SCI and Diabetes was investigated. Results: The course of diabetes, hyperinsulinaemia and hyperglycosemia weresignificantly correlated with SCI.3. Conclusions:Diabetes is one of the significant factors for SCI. The process and stage ofdiabetes both affect the distribution and size of SCI. The possibility of incidences forSCI becomes high with the longer course of diabetes and rising of insulin antibodylevel, insulinaemia and glycosemia.
