Methods: The sample of Carotid plaque of the patient was divided into two halves with a transverse incision; the terms inner part and outer part were used for the plaque's inner part and the adjacent area. Samples were sorted in 10% formalin for CD163, CD11c, MPO, and histone H3 immunohistochemistry assessment, while part of the sample was stored at -80°C for western blotting assay with PDA4 marker.Results: Results of this study showed that the extracellular neutrophil in the inner part of the Carotid plaque was significantly increased (P<0.0001), while the number of M1 and M2 macrophages was higher in the inner part compared with the outer part of the Carotid plaque (P<0.0001).
