| Objective:Research ILA and asymmetry ILA’s relevant factors,discussed it’s reasons or possible physiopathologic mechanism.Method:Choose total 182 cases patients reference (Magnetic Resonance Imaging,MRI) results divided the total patients into two groups:Group A was healthy control,total of 46 cases,19 cases of male,27 cases of female,40-75 age(mean 58.540±8.508 age).Group B were ILA patients, total of 136 cases,80 cases of male,56 cases of female,35-88 age(mean65.500±10.181 age), all groups conform to include and exclude standards. According to Fazekas rating scales’s cylindricizing(heavy side/light side grades), divided group B into asymmetry ILA group(group Bl,cylindricizing> 1.5) and symmetry ILA group (group B2,cylindricizing≤1.5).Record master samples general data:age,gender,disease diagnosis, history of high blood pressure, (Diabetes melitus, DM),(Hyperlipidaemia,HLP), (Coronary heart disease,CHD),smoking, drinking and so on, blood index and test method include:using nephelometry measure (Fasting Blood Glucose, FBG) (mmol/L), serum (Total cholesterol, TC) (mmol/L)and (Triglyceride, TG) (mmol/L) levels, surfactant direct method measure serum (High density lipoprotein-cholesterol, HDL-ch) (mmol/L) levels, endpoint method measure serum (Low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, LDL-ch) (mmol/L) levels; immunoturbidimetry measure serum (Lipoprotein(a), LP(a)) (mg/L)ã€serum (CystatinC, CysC)(mg/L) and (D-Dimmer, D-D) (μg/L); enzymatic cycling assay measure (Homocysteine, HCY) (umol/L); all patients tested head MRI and carotid color ultrasonognophy and record all indexs include (Intima-media thickness,IMT)ã€plaque numbersã€sizeã€form.and ILA’s Fazekas grades;using University of Washington carotid atherosclerostic plaque ultrasontic rating scale to grade.Analysis groups of sample datas with spss 20.0 versions of statistical software.Resultsr1.Risk factors analysis of ILAThe group B of men 80 cases,58.824%ã€HLP patients 69 cases,50.735%ã€CHD patients 34 cases,25.000%ã€drinker 47 cases,34.559% all significantly more than group A(19 cases,41.304%;14 cases,30.435%; 2 cases,4.348%; 8 cases,17.391%) (P<0.05, P<0.05, P<0.01, P<0.05);the group B of age (65.500±10.181)ã€serum TC (195.744±43.890)ã€TG (123.005(88.500-185.750))ã€HCY (18.010(14.420-21.775))ã€CysC (1.405(0.923~1.980)) levelsã€carotid atherosclerotic plaque (2 (0~ 2))and ILA’s total rating(6(4~7))all significantly more than group A(58.540±8.508); (172.787±31.727); 97.000(71.750-133.000); 13.500(10.525~16.025); 0.875(0.778-1.025); 0 (0-2); 0(0-0) (P<0.01, P<0.01, P<0.01,P<0.01, P< 0.01, P< 0.05, P< 0.01).Between groups A and B DM(P=0.219)〠hypertensive(P=0.074)ã€drinker of constituent ratio(P=0.070) and serum FBG(P=0.206)ã€HDL-ch(P=0.276)ã€LDL-ch(P=0.238)ã€LP(a) (P=0.821)ã€plasma D-D(P=0.482) levels were no statistically significant differences.ILA of risk factors analysis with binary logistic regression analysis:TG(OR=1.013) (P<0.01), HCY(OR=1.238) (P<0.01), age(0R=1.053) (P<0.05), Cysc(OR=2.694) (P <0.05) were all statistically significant.There was a positive correlation between ageã€serum HCYã€CysC and order of ILA severity(around two flanks total grades), (r=0.250,P<0.01;r=0.315,P<0.01;r=0.245,P <0.01);There wasn’t statistical significance between TG and order of ILA severity.ILA risk factors’s multivariate linear regression analysis:F rating=-1.770+0.055age+0.095HCY2.Risk factors analysis of asymmetry ILAThe group Bl of DM patients 20 cases,28.986%.
