摘要:
目的 探讨急性脑梗死(ACI)患者血清miR-184的表达水平与病情严重程度、梗死灶体积大小与炎性因子的相关性。 方法 纳入蚌埠医学院第一附属医院神经内科2021年1—12月住院的ACI患者74例, 健康体检者41例, 采用qPCR、ELISA法检测2组血清miR-184、IL-6、TNF-α、CRP表达水平并进行比较,应用Spearman相关分析研究ACI患者miR-184水平与病情严重程度及与炎性因子的相关性。 结果 与对照组比较,ACI组miR-184水平降低(P < 0.001), IL-6、TNF-α和CRP水平升高(均P < 0.05), 且梗死灶体积越大,NHISS评分越高,miR-184水平越低。Spearman相关性分析结果显示:ACI患者血清miR-184水平与病情严重程度、梗死灶体积呈负相关关系(rs=-0.641、-0.620,均P < 0.05),ACI患者血清miR-184水平与炎性因子IL-6、TNF-α、CRP水平也具有相关性(rs=-0.560、-0.389、-0.565,均P < 0.05)。 结论 miR-184与脑梗死病情严重程度、梗死灶体积及炎性因子具有相关性,miR-184可以作为诊断ACI及评估病情严重程度的血清学标志物。 Abstract:Objective To investigate the correlation between serum miR-184 levels and severity of disease and with inflammatory factors in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI). Methods A total of 74 ACI patients and 41 healthy individuals were included in the Neurology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from January to December 2021. The expression levels of miR-184, IL-6, TNF-α and CRP in the serum of the two groups were detected using qPCR and ELISA methods; the levels between two groups were compared, and Pearson correlation analysis was applied to study the correlation between miR-184 levels and inflammatory factors in ACI patients. Results Compared with the control group, the levels of miR-184 in the ACI group decreased (P < 0.001), while the levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and CRP increased (all P < 0.05). The larger the infarct size, the higher the NHISS score, and the lower the miR-184 level. Spearman correlation analysis showed that the level of serum miR-184 in ACI patients was negatively correlated with disease severity and infarct volume (rs=-0.641, -0.620, both P < 0.05). The level of serum miR-184 in ACI patients was also correlated with the levels of inflammatory factors IL-6, TNF-α and CRP levels (rs=-0.560, -0.389, -0.565, all P < 0.05). Conclusion miR-184 can be used as a serological marker for diagnosing ACI and evaluating the severity of the condition, and is a promising target for the treatment of ACI. -
