Patients with acute ischemic stroke will be divided into 2 groups by double-blind, randomized, and controlled trial. Personality and past history of the patients will be recorded after the patients signed inform consent. The patient will be collected blood among 10 cc. for measurement biomarker in serum that related plaque stability for baseline and obtained neurological examination for baseline.
The patients must be take pills for 180 days by randomized code number on pill box, and patients must be turn into the site for follow up visit at Day 90 and Day 180. All visits of the patients will be collected blood among 10 cc. for measurement biomarker in serum that related plaque stability and obtained neurological examination.
Next, the data will be separated with code number for divided group into 2 groups. Group 1 is simvastatin 10 mg per day treatment (n=36) and Group 2 is simvastatin 40 mg per day treatment. Finally, all data of each group will be calculated mean ± standard deviation, and compared by statistical analysis.

Personality and past history of the patients will be recorded after the patients signed inform consent. The patient will be collected blood among 10 cc. for measurement biomarker in serum that related plaque stability i.e. sLOX-1 and NO levels for baseline and obtained neurological examination i.e. NIHSS, mRS and Barthel's index scale for baseline. The bloods will be centrifuged 4,000 rpm for 15 minutes at 4˚C. The supernatant will be collected for determine sLOX-1 and NO levels by ELIZA.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Simvastatin 10 mg
Drug: Simvastatin 10 mg
Simvastatin 40 mg
Drug: Simvastatin 40 mg
Simvastatin is a cholesterol-lowering medication that blocks the production of cholesterol (a type of fat) in the body. Simvastatin reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and total cholesterol in the blood. Lowering your cholesterol can help prevent heart disease and hardening of the arteries, conditions that can lead to heart attack, stroke, and vascular disease.
