ABSTRACT

Objective To study the effect of inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS)on the occurrence of ischemic cerebral stroke in passive smoking female.Methods 100 passive smoking female patients with ischemic cerebral stroke(passive smoking group) according to the passive smoking index were divided into sub-groups index 900;25 cases in each group.The level of serum iNOS and the situation of carotid atherosclerosis were detected.The resules were compared with healthy female who without smoking and passive smoking(normal control group).Results Compared with the normal control group,the levels of serum iNOS,the intimal media thickness(IMT)s of carotid artery and the positive rates of carotid atherosclerosis plaque in each passive smoking index sub-group were significantly increased(all P
