Fig. 3From: Augmentation of peripheral lymphocyte-derived cholinergic activity in patients with acute ischemic strokeElevated cholinergic activity was associated with disability in acute stroke patients with pneumonia. The patients were stratified into two subgroups, mild stroke (NIHSS≤15) and moderate/severe stroke (NIHSS> 15). a Higher cholinergic activity was detected in patients with moderate /severe stroke than mild stroke. b Moderate/severe stroke patients had decreased lymphocytic AChE activity. c Peripheral lymphocyte-derived ACh was positively correlated with the severity of stroke with pneumoniaBack to article page
