Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 140 patients with acute cerebral infarction admitted to the neurology department and 101 healthy individuals for regular examinations in our hospital from 2013 to 2019, who were respectively allocated into the study group and the control group. Participants in both groups were measured for serum sdLDLc, HDLc, and HCYc using peroxidase method, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and enzyme method, respectively. The laboratory indexes of the two groups were compared. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was done to analyze the influencing factors of the stability of intracranial artery plaque in patients with acute cerebral infarction. The value of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), homocysteine, sdLDLc, (sdLDLc*HCYc)/HDLc in diagnosing the stability of intracranial artery plaque was also evaluated in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Results: There was no distinct difference in height, hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, smoking history and drinking history between the two groups (P>0.05).
