Some studies have identified chitinase-3 like-protein-1 (YKL-40) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 as circulating inflammatory factors involved in positive vascular remodelling. Herein, we aimed to investigate the relationship between changes in serum YKL-40 and MMP-9 levels and positive intracranial arterial remodelling in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 110 patients with CSVD were selected. Patients with brain arterial remodelling (BAR) scores &amp;gt;1 times the standard deviation were defined as the positive intracranial artery remodelling group (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200921 cases), and those with BAR scores \u22641 times the standard deviation were defined as the non-positive intracranial artery remodelling group (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200989 cases). Serum YKL-40 and MMP-9 levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. Factors influencing positive intracranial artery remodelling using binary logistic regression analysis and predictive value of YKL-40 and MMP-9 for positive intracranial arterial remodelling in patients with CSVD were assessed by a subject receiver operating characteristic curve.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Statistically significant differences in serum YKL-40 and MMP-9 levels were observed between the positive and non-positive remodelling groups (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05).
