July 11, 2020 updated by: Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine
This study aimed to explorie the biological basis of phlegm-dampness syndrome in patients with ischemic stroke using proteomics research techniques of urine and saliva.

Detailed Description

Stroke is the disease with the highest mortality and disability in China, and the annual incidence of ischemic stroke is the highest. Atherosclerosis is the main cause of ischemic stroke. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the disease is closely related to the physical constitution of the individual. The main body constitution of the population in Lingnan area is phlegm dampness syndrome;Previous large cross-sectional studies have found that 65.3% of patients with ischemic stroke in Lingnan area have phlegm dampness syndrome. However, there is currently no biological evidence related to phlegm-dampness syndrome and ischemic stroke.In recent years, proteomics research technology has developed vigorously. The research samples have developed from blood obtained from minimally invasive to urine and saliva obtained non-invasively. Studies have found that urine proteins associated with AS include type I, type III collagen, 8-isoprostaglandin F2α, and saliva proteins include IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and PGE2.Therefore, this research is dedicated to exploring the biological basis of phlegm-dampness syndrome in patients with ischemic stroke using proteomics research techniques of urine and saliva.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Observational

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

35 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
A(healthy control group)
patients who did not have ischemic stroke and whose TCM constitution was dialectically peaceful;
B
Patients with no ischemic stroke and whose TCM constitution was dialectical with damp phlegm constitution
C
patients with ischemic stroke diagnosed with phlegm dampness syndrome
D
patients with ischemic stroke diagnosed as non-phlegm dampness syndrome

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Differentially expressed proteins of urine and saliva
Time Frame: 1 day
Proteomic expression of urine and saliva in each group will be tested use Protein liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry detection.
1 day

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
NIHSS scoes
Time Frame: 1 day
NIHSS scoring scale for neurological impairment assessment

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Anticipated)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
August 1, 2020

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
