Popis: | Inflammation is considered an important mechanism of cell death or survival after ischemic stroke. As an important marker of inflammation, the role of β2-microglobulin (β2M) in acute ischemic stroke is unclear. We investigated the relationship between serum β2M and the risk of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Patients with AIS (202 cases), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH, 41 cases), and healthy controls (253 cases) were recruited. Clinical and biochemical characteristics were collected. We used three binary logistic regression models to evaluate the correlation of β2M with the risk of AIS. Furthermore, we investigated the relationship between serum β2M and the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, the Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) subtypes, and the Essen Stroke Risk Score (ESRS) in patients with AIS. Our results showed that serum β2M levels in patients with AIS were much higher than those in patients with ICH and in the control subjects. Individuals with higher levels of β2M had higher odds of AIS. Moreover, serum β2M levels were significantly and positively correlated with ESRS. In addition, the levels of β2M were varied with different subgroups of AIS (TOAST classification). Serum β2M is highly associated with the risk of AIS. |
