ObjectiveTo explore the influences of different doses of Atorvastatin on the serum levels of hs-CRP、IL-6 and TNF-α in acute cerebral infarction patients(ACI).Methods84 patients with ACI were recruited and randomly divided into two groups(group A and group B).On the basic of conventional treatment,patients of group A took atorvastatin orally,10 mg/d,while patients of group B took 20 mg/d,both for four weeks.The serum Levels of hs-CRP、IL-6 and TNF-α were detected before and after 4 weeks of treatment.ResultsThe serum Levels of hs-CRP、IL-6 and TNF-α decreased after four weeks of treatment with atorvastatin,and a dose-response relationship were shown.ConclusionsUsage of high-dose atorvastatin may significantly reduce the inflammatory response in ACI patients.
