Study on the correlations between osteopontin and the degree of brain edema and neurological impairment in hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage and clinical prognosis
Objective To observe the expression of osteopontin (OPN) in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) and its relationship with the brain edema, neurological impairment and clinical prognosis. Methods A total of 17 patients with HICH admitted to the medical intensive care unit of Neurology Department of Linyi People's Hospital were collected as observation group.
