摘要:
目的 探讨血清神经丝轻链(NfL)和胶质纤维酸性蛋白(GFAP)水平对急性脑梗死(AIS)患者神经损伤和修复的影响,为个体化治疗提供依据。 方法 纳入2020年1月—2022年12月河南科技大学第一附属医院收治的129例AIS患者,根据出院后3个月改良Rankin(mRS)评分将患者分为预后良好组(mRS评分≤2分,83例)和预后不良组(mRS评分>2分,46例)。分析2组患者临床特征和NfL、GFAP水平的差异,评估两者的预后预测价值,分析AIS患者神经功能不良预后的危险因素。 结果 与预后良好组比较,预后不良组NfL(15.2±6.3 vs. 22.8±8.5,t=5.777,P<0.001)和GFAP[0.85(0.62, 1.18) vs. 1.12(0.79, 1.45),U=1 254.000,P=0.003]水平升高,两者与患者美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表(NIHSS)评分和梗死体积呈正相关关系。血清NfL(OR=1.861,95% CI: 1.076~3.220,P=0.024)和GFAP(OR=2.979,95% CI: 1.428~6.218,P=0.004)升高是AIS患者预后不良的独立影响因素。两者联合检测可以提高预测AIS患者神经功能预后的准确性(AUC=0.809)。 结论 联合检测NfL和GFAP水平有助于早期识别神经功能不良的AIS患者,指导个体化治疗方案的制定。 Abstract:Objective To investigate the impact of serum neurofilament light chain (NfL) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) levels on neurological injury and recovery in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients, providing evidence for personalized treatment. Methods A total of 129 AIS patients admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were included. According to the modified Rankin scale (mRS) score at 3 months post-discharge, patients were divided into a good prognosis group (mRS≤2, 83 cases) and a poor prognosis group (mRS>2, 46 cases). The clinical characteristics and serum levels of NfL and GFAP were compared between the two groups. The prognostic predictive value of these biomarkers and risk factors for poor neurological outcomes in AIS patients were analyzed. Results Compared with the good prognosis group, the poor prognosis group had significantly higher levels of NfL (15.2±6.3 vs. 22.8±8.5, t=5.777, P < 0.001) and GFAP [0.85 (0.62, 1.18) vs. 1.12 (0.79, 1.45), U=1 254.000, P=0.003], both of which were positively correlated with NIHSS scores and infarct volume. Multivariate regression analysis showed that elevated NfL (OR=1.861, 95% CI: 1.076-3.220, P=0.024) and GFAP (OR=2.979, 95% CI: 1.428-6.218, P=0.004) were independent influencing factors for poor prognosis in AIS patients. The combined detection of NfL and GFAP demonstrated higher predictive accuracy for neurological outcomes (AUC=0.809) compared to single biomarker detection. Conclusion Combined detection of serum NfL and GFAP levels is useful for early identification of AIS patients at risk of poor neurological outcomes and provides evidence for developing personalized treatment strategies. -
