Statistical analysis was carried out to calculate the infection rate of CMV in subjects. Spearman's rank analysis was performed to evaluate the correlation between CMV infection and atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The positive rate of CMV was significantly higher in the observation group compared to the control group, and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP\u20109), tumor necrosis factor\u2010\u03b1 (TNF\u2010\u03b1) and lectin\u2010like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor\u20101 (LOX\u20101) expression levels were also elevated in the observation group compared to those in the control group. In carotid atherosclerotic patients, the detection rate of unstable plaques and the Crouse scores in vulnerable plaque were significantly higher in the CMV\u2010positive group compared to those in the CMV\u2010negative group. As revealed by correlation analysis, CMV infection was significantly positively correlated with plaque vulnerability and expression levels of MMP\u20109, TNF\u2010\u03b1 and LOX\u20101 in carotid atherosclerotic patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Human CMV infection might be a potential risk factor for increased plaque vulnerability in patients with carotid atherosclerosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/jgm.3236","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,29]],"date-time":"2020-05-29T02:09:55Z","timestamp":1590718195000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Human cytomegalovirus infection is correlated with atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability in carotid artery"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Dan","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Beijing Hepingli Hospital  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Beijing Hepingli Hospital  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ling","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Research Centre Beijing Tongren Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5562-998X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiawei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Research Centre Beijing Tongren Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University  Beijing China"},{"name":"Department of Neurology Beijing Tongren Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2017.08.075"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000446703"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejvs.2005.11.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2005.10.065"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/ATVBAHA.113.302163"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cca.2015.03.015"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14797\/mdcj-8-2-42"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/JAHA.116.003759"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5812\/jjm.9253"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11239-011-0662-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18632\/oncotarget.19314"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/2042-4280-4-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_1","first-page":"762","article-title":"Assessment of carotid atherosclerotic plaques using ultrasonographic elastography","volume":"18","author":"Wu Y","year":"2009","journal-title":"Chin J Ultrasonogr"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jmv.24858"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ene.13017"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2362.1991.tb01378.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1081\/JDI-120039527"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_19_1","first-page":"41","article-title":"Infectious and coronary artery disease","volume":"12","author":"Rezaee\u2010Zavareh MS","year":"2016","journal-title":"ARYA Atheroscler"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00705-013-1744-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0083620"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00705-017-3423-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/AAC.03686-14"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/JAHA.116.005025"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_25_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gene.2015.08.040"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_26_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.coviro.2015.07.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_27_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.coi.2015.06.012"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_28_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.coviro.2014.02.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_29_1","first-page":"24","article-title":"LOX\u20101 and atherosclerotic\u2010related diseases.
