Abstract: Objective: To study the changes of acute phase protein (APP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in patients with cerebral infarction and effect of systemic antibody response of periodontal infection on APP and IL-6 levels.Methods: Eighty-eight patients with acute cerebral infarction for the first time and forty healthy subjects were included in this study. The subjects were grouped into Pg-IgG antibody positive [Pg-IgG (+) ] group and Pg-IgG antibody negative [Pg-IgG(-)] group according to Porphyromonas gingivalis IgG (P.g-IgG) levels. Serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP), fibrinogen (Fg) and IL-6 levels were detected by enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay method and automatic blood coagulation analyzer. Results: Hs-CRP, Fg and IL-6 were significantly higher in patients with acute cerebral infarction than healthy subjects. Hs-CRP and IL-6 were significantly higher in Pg-IgG (+) group than that in Pg-IgG (-) group. Hs-CRP and IL-6 were positively correlated with Pg-IgG. Conclusion: Periodontal Porphyromonas gingivalis infection may increase cerebral infarction risk by promoting the levels of Hs-CRP and IL-6.
