摘要:
目的 应用极速脉搏波技术评估不同活动度系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)患者的血管弹性并探究其相关危险因素。 方法 选取2020年10月—2024年4月就诊于蚌埠医科大学第一附属医院的116例SLE患者,根据SLE疾病活动性指数2000分为轻度活动组(57例)和中重度活动组(59例),纳入45名健康成年人作为对照组。测量各组的颈动脉内中膜厚度(IMT)、收缩期起始时的脉搏波传导速度(PWV-BS)及收缩期末的脉搏波传导速度(PWV-ES),比较3组颈动脉参数及临床资料,分析脉搏波传导速度(PWV)与各指标之间的相关性。 结果 3组间PWV-BS、PWV-ES比较,中重度活动组>轻度活动组>对照组(P<0.05)。PWV-BS与颈总动脉IMT(r=0.315, P < 0.001)、收缩压(r=0.190, P=0.041)、舒张压(r=0.191, P=0.040)呈正相关关系,PWV-ES与颈动脉分叉处IMT(r=0.274, P=0.003)、颈总动脉IMT(r=0.361, P < 0.001)、舒张压(r=0.252, P=0.006)呈正相关关系。 结论 SLE患者的颈动脉弹性减低明显早于健康者,极速脉搏波可定量评估SLE患者颈动脉弹性,且不受限于时期,这为临床早期动脉硬化评估提供了客观依据。 Abstract:Objective To make an assessment of vascular elasticity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) at varying levels of disease activity using ultrafast pulse wave technique, and to investigate associated clinical risk factors. Methods A total of 116 SLE patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University from October 2020 to April 2024 were selected. Patients were divided into a mild activity group (n=57) and a moderate-to-severe activity group (n=59) according to SLE disease activity index 2000. Additionally, 45 healthy adults were included as the control group. Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), pulse wave velocity at the beginning of systole (PWV-BS), and pulse wave velocity at the end of systole (PWV-ES) were measured in each group. Clinical data of each group were recorded and analyzed. Carotid artery parameters and clinical data of the three groups were compared to analyze the correlation between PWV parameters and various indicators. Results Both PWV-BS and PWV-ES showed significant differences among the three groups, following the pattern: moderate-to-severe activity group > light activity group > control group (P < 0.05). PWV-BS was positively correlated with common carotid artery IMT (r=0.315, P < 0.001), systolic blood pressure (r=0.190, P=0.041), and diastolic blood pressure (r=0.191, P=0.040). PWV-ES was positively correlated with carotid bifurcation IMT (r=0.274, P=0.003), common carotid artery IMT (r=0.361, P < 0.001), and diastolic blood pressure (r=0.252, P=0.006). Conclusion The reduction in carotid artery elasticity in SLE patients occurs significantly earlier compared to healthy individuals. Ultrafast pulse wave is valuable, time-independent, and objective tool for quantitative assessing early vascular changes in patients with SLE, thus facilitating the early detection and clinical management of atherosclerosis. -
