Abstract

The study is aimed at studying the association between the levels of serum adiponectin (ADPN), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and hypertensive cerebrovascular complications. 50 patients with hypertensive cerebrovascular disease treated in Gansu Provincial Hospital from December 2016 to December 2018 were selected as the experimental group, and 50 normal people who underwent physical examination were selected as the control group. The blood pressure, heart rate, and the complications were recorded, and the serum blood lipid indexes were detected. Moreover, the content of serum ADPN, hs-CRP, and sICAM-1; the neurological indexes; brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BNDF); and neurone-specific enolase (NSE) were also determined using ELISA. The content of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and serum creatinine (SCR) in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in control group (p < 0.05); the incidence of cerebrovascular complications, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate increased (p < 0.05); the content of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), hs-CRP, and sICAM-1 obviously rose (p < 0.05); and the content of ADPN and HDL obviously declined (p < 0.05). Besides, the experimental group had evidently lower systolic blood flow velocity (Vs), diastolic blood flow velocity (Vd), and mean blood flow velocity (Vm) and evidently higher pulsatility index (PI) (p < 0.05). The levels of S100 and NSE in the experimental group increased significantly, and the level of BNDF decreased significantly (p < 0.05). In patients with hypertensive cerebrovascular disease, the level of ADPN declines; the levels of hs-CRP and sICAM-1 rise; the incidence rate of cerebrovascular complications is elevated; and there are changes in the blood lipid, cerebrovascular hemodynamic, and neurological indexes, thereby further promoting the occurrence and development of hypertensive cerebrovascular disease.
