Association of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 with neurological deterioration of ischemic stroke: The Chongqing Stroke Study.

Background: Adhesion molecules play important roles in the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether serum levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM-1), soluble vascular cellular adhesion molecule 1 (sVCAM-1) and soluble E-selectin were associated with neurological deterioration of ischemic stroke.

Methods: 238 consecutive patients with ischemic stroke examined within 24 h from onset were enrolled into the study.

Frequency and risk factors of vascular cognitive impairment three months after ischemic stroke in china: the Chongqing stroke study.

Background: Frequency of poststroke cognitive impairment is high in western countries, and the risk factors of poststroke cognitive impairment have not been fully understood yet. We sought to examine the frequency and risk factors of cognitive impairment after ischemic stroke in a large stroke cohort of China.

Methods: A total of 434 consecutive patients with ischemic stroke were enrolled.

Study on frequency and predictors of dementia after ischemic stroke: the Chongqing stroke study.

Objective: We studied a large hospitalized cohort of patients aged 55 years and over with acute ischemic stroke to identify the frequency and predictors of poststroke dementia.

Methods: A total of 434 consecutive patients with ischemic stroke were enrolled in this study. During admission, the demographic data, vascular risk factors, stroke features, and neurological status information were collected.
