 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 10 Progressive ischemic stroke risk factors [Keywords:] progressive; cerebral infarction; Risk factors Progressive ischemic stroke pathogenesis is not yet fully understood. This retrospective analysis of patients hospitalized for the progress of a clear diagnosis of ischemic cerebral infarction in patients with clinical data, combined with its cerebral angiography (DSA) and carotid artery ultrasound results of the risk factors, to provide guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 The choice of cases in our hospital from January 2007 to January 2010 123 cases of cerebral infarction were admitted, all cases of 1995 Fourth National Conference on cerebral infarction cerebrovascular disease diagnostic criteria, confirmed by head CT or MRI. Exclusion criteria: cardiogenic cerebral embolism or other causes of cerebral embolism; recurrence of cerebral infarction: All patients on admission and the application of 1 w Scandinavian Scale (SSS) for neurological function scores , the incidence increased disease progression within 1 w, SSS score decreased 2 points or more, a diagnosis of progressive ischemic stroke (1). progressing ischemic cerebral infarction 64 patients, 42 males and 22 females, age 41 80 (mean (to 65.8 + -13.6)) years. the control group was randomly selected 59 cases of acute cerebral infarction were hospitalized over the same period, except for progressive ischemic stroke. 39 males and 20 female, aged 51 to 74 (average (62.7 + -10.5)) years old. two groups were age, gender, no significant difference comparable. 1.2 Research Methods All patients immediately after admission, or MRI of brain CT diagnosis. Admission, body temperature and blood pressure, check blood, coagulation and blood chemistry. Hospitalized 3 d using color Doppler ultrasound examination of patients with bilateral carotid arteries Investigation to determine carotid artery atherosclerosis extent. By plaque score metho
