Abstract

Objective To investigate the levels of serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and C-reactive protein ( CRP ) in patients with acute cerebral infarction, and its value on prognosis. Methods The levels of serum NSE and CRP were compared in 92 acute cerebral infarction patients (observation group) and 45 healthy (control group). The relationship between the levels of NSE, CRP and the degree of neurological damage and infarction location were analyzed. Results The levels of serum NSE and CRP were significantly higher in observation group than those in control group (P 0.05 ). Conclusion The level of serum NSE and CRP is an index in reflecting the degree of neurological damage, and they can be used in evaluating patient's condition and prognosis. Key words: Brain infarction; Phosphopyruvate hydratase; C-reactive protein; Prognosis
