【Abstract】 ObjectiveTo determine the serum level of estrogen (E2), leptin (LEP), interleukin-6(IL-6), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1(sICAM-1), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL) and homocysteine (HCY) in clinical patients with cerebral infarction and rats with focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury; detect the level of amyloid protein (β-AP) in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid; detect some vascular related indicators including bilateral common carotid artery and the bilateral internal carotid artery peak flow velocity (PSV), bilateral carotid intima-film thickness (IMT) and the left and right carotid plaques crouse score in clinical patients with cerebral infarction; detect the level of Bel-2in local brain tissue of rats with focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Analysis whether serum level of estrogen correlated to these indicators, then evaluate the protective effects of estrogen on brain infarction, and finally provide proof for early diagnosis and effective treatment of for clinical brain infarction patients.MethodsChose those acute cerebral infarction patients arrived in neurology within24hours after the onset of disease. Diagnosis wasconfirmed by craniocerebral CT and/or MRI, and it was also diagnosed according to the diagnostic criteria of the fourth national cerebrovascular disease conference. At the same time, some complications such as eliminate infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, primary malignant tumor, and trauma were excluded. All patients with acute cerebral infarction were reviewed craniocerebral CT in2-3days after the admission, and the cerebral infarction volume were calculated by consult chef formula. Patients were grouped according to the needs of specific designs; a control group was conducted at the same time in the same period in the hospital patients. Rats with focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion (MCAO) were conducted as the animal model to study the protective effects of estrogen on acute cerebral infarction. Serum levels of TC, TG, HDL and LDL in patients and rats were determined in a conventional method; the serum E2level was detected by radioimmunoassay; to detect Serum levels of LEP, IL-6and sICAM-1levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA); plasma HCY levels were detected by Fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA); levels ofβ-AP in serum and cerebrospinal fluid were detected by ELISA; expression of Bel-2protein was determined by immunohistochemical detection.Results1. Changes of serum E2and other index levels in clinical patients with cerebral infarction(1) Compared with the control group, the E2levels decreased in the cerebral infarction group; the cerebral infarction volume and was negatively correlated with serum E2levels (P<0.05); serum E2levels in cerebral infarction patients are associated with diabetes, alcoholism, serum E2levels are lower in those diabetes and alcoholism patients than those without diabetes and alcoholism (P<0.05or P<0.01).(2) Compared with the control group, the PSV, IMT and plaques crouse scores were significantly higher in the cerebral infarction group (P <0.05).(3) Compared with the control group, the serum levels of LEP, il-6and sICAM1in the cerebral infarction group increased significantly (P<0.05or P<0.01). Among them, the serum levels of sICAM1and IL-6in the cerebral infarction group are closely related to the disease severity and the size of the lesions; serum levels of sICAM-1and IL-6in those patients under acute phase state is much far higher than those of remission (P<0.05or P<0.01); serum levels of sICAM-1and IL-6is far more higher in patients with large size lesion than those patients with small size lesion (P<0.05or P<0.01); In addition, serum levels of sICAM1in patients with cerebral infarction are associated with high blood pressure, diabetes, serum sICAM1levels are much higher in those patients with high blood pressure and diabetes than those without high blood pressure and diabetes (P<0.05or P<0.01).(4) Compared with the control group, serum TC, TG and LDL levels in the cerebral infarction group increased significantly, while HDL levels decreased significantly (P<0.05or P<0.01).(5) Compared with the control group, the serum HCY levels in the cerebral infarction group increased significantly (P<0.01); and there is gender differences in plasma HCY levels, plasma HCY levels in male patients was much higher than female patients (P<0.01).(6) Compared with the control group, the serum β-AP levels reveled no obviously change in the cerebral infarction group (P>0.05); whileβ-AP levels in cerebrospinal fluid was significantly increased in the cerebral infarction group (P<0.05).2. Correlation analysis of Serum levels of E2and other index levels in clinical patients with cerebral infarctionSerum levels of E2was negatively related to serum LEP, IL-6, sICAM-1TG, HCY and plaques crouse scores; serum levels of E21was positively correlated with the serum HDL; and negatively correlated with p-AP levels in cerebrospinal fluid (P<0.05or P<0.01).3. Changes of serum E2and other index levels in rats (control group, MCAO group and estrogen treatment group)Compared with the control group, serum levels of E2, TC, TG, LDL in rats of MCAO group revealed no obvious changes (P>0.05); serum levels of LEP, il-6, sICAM-1, HCY and obviously increased; while HDL levels significantly decreased; levels of β-AP in cerebrospinal fluid also significantly increased (P<0.05or P<0.01). Compared with the MACO group, serum levels of TC, TG, LDL in the estrogen therapy group revealed no obvious changes (P>0.05); serum levels of E2and HDL levels increased significantly; serum levels of LEP, il-6, sICAM-1, HCY andβ-AP significantly decreased; levels of β-AP in cerebrospinal fluid also significantly decreased (P<0.05or P<0.01).4. Correlation analysis of Serum levels of E2and other index levels in ratsSerum levels of E2in rats was negatively related to serum LEP, il-6, sICAM-1, HCY, β-AP andβ-AP levels in cerebrospinal fluid (P<0.05); and were positively correlated with serum HDL (P<0.05).5. The impact on infarction volume of estrogen therapy in rats with focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and its relation with Bcl-2expressionCompared to the MCAO group, the cerebral infarction volume significantly narrowed in rats of estrogen treatment group; and the expression of Bcl-2significantly increased (P<0.05).Conclusions1. Serum levels of E2in patients with acute cerebral infarction significantly decreased than control group and E2was a protective factor for patients with cerebral infarction; Serum levels of LEP, il-6, sICAM-1, HCY and β-AP levels in cerebrospinal fluid in patients with acute cerebral infarction significantly increased than control group and LEP, il-6, sICAM-1, HCY andβ-AP were risk factors for patients with cerebral infarction patients; E2levels were closely associated with multiple risk factors in patients with cerebral infarction, and to some extent E2could reflect the disease severity and response after certain treatment in patients with cerebral infarction.2. Estrogen therapy could effectively narrow the infarction volume in rats after focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury, reduce the inflammatory reaction, improve body lipid and protein metabolism and regulate cell apoptosis, and then play an important role on neural protection in rats with cerebral infarction. Its mechanism may be related to that estrogen could increase the expression of Bel-2after cerebral ischemia reperfusion. This study provided some theoretical basis on estrogen intervention for clinical patients with cerebral infarction.
