Objective To explore the relationship between atherosclerotic cerebral infarction and dyslipidemia or dyslipoproteinemia. 目的探讨血脂异常血症与动脉粥样硬化性脑梗死的关系。
Background— Cathepsin K (CatK), a potent elastinolytic and collagenolytic cysteine protease, likely participates in the evolution and destabilization of atherosclerotic plaques. 组织蛋白酶K,一种强有力的溶胶原半胱氨酸蛋白酶,可能参与动脉粥样硬化斑块的演化及与斑块不稳定有联系。
Atherosclerosis (also known as arteriosclerotic vascular disease or ASVD) is a specific form of arteriosclerosis in which an artery-wall thickens as a result of invasion and accumulation of white blood cells (WBCs) (foam cell) and proliferation of intimal-smooth-muscle cell creating a fibrofatty plaque.
