Clinical value of detection on serum monocyte chemotactant protein-1 and vascular endothelial cadherin levels in patients with acute cerebral infarction

The serum levels of VE-cadherin and MCP-1 were significantly increased in patients with acute cerebral infarction. MCP-1 and VE-cadherin can increase the secretion of interleukins and matrix metalloproteinases, which can result in the carotid artery plaque formation, unstable plaque properties and the injury of nerve function.
