摘要:
目的 检测过敏性鼻炎患儿变应原皮下特异性免疫治疗(SCIT)前后炎症因子表达水平,并分析这些炎症因子在评估SCIT疗效中的应用价值。 方法 纳入2021年2月—2023年7月于浙江省人民医院淳安分院儿科接受标准SCIT的80例过敏性鼻炎(AR)患儿,根据疗效情况将其分为应答组(48例)和无应答组(32例)。对比2组患儿基线炎症因子水平,选取P<0.05的变量构建单因素logistic回归模型,并绘制ROC曲线分析其预测SCIT应用于AR患儿的疗效。 结果 治疗后,80例患儿C反应蛋白(CRP)、白细胞介素(IL)-1β、IL-6及IL-13水平降低,肿瘤坏死因子-β(TNF-β)、IL-10及IL-33水平升高(P<0.05)。应答组患儿基线IL-10及IL-33水平低于无应答组(P<0.05)。单因素logistic回归分析显示,IL-10(OR=0.344)、IL-33(OR=0.963)是SCIT疗效的影响因素(P<0.05)。ROC曲线结果显示,IL-10(AUC=0.836)、IL-33(AUC=0.833)预测SCIT疗效的价值较高。 结论 AR患儿经SCIT治疗后, TNF-β、IL-10、IL-33水平上升,CRP、IL-1β、IL-6及IL-13水平下降;基线IL-10及IL-33水平对SCIT疗效有较好的预测价值。 -

Abstract:Objective To detect the expression levels of inflammatory factors in children with allergic rhinitis before and after subcutaneous specific immunotherapy (SCIT) and to analyze the application value of these inflammatory factors in evaluating the efficacy of SCIT. Methods Eighty children with allergic rhinitis (AR) who received standard SCIT at the pediatric department of Chun'an Branch of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from February 2021 to July 2023 were divided into a response group (n=48) and a non-response group (n=32) according to the curative effect. The baseline levels of inflammatory factors were compared between the two groups. The variables with P < 0.05 were selected for univariate logistic regression model, and the ROC curves were drawn to analyze the predictive effect of SCIT on AR children. Results After treatment, the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and IL-13 decreased, while the levels of tumor necrosis factor-β (TNF-β), IL-10, and IL-33 increased (P < 0.05).The baseline levels of IL-10 and IL-33 in children in the response group were lower than those in the non-response group (P < 0.05). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that IL-10 (OR=0.344) and IL-33 (OR=0.963) significantly affected SCIT outcomes (P < 0.05). ROC curve showed that IL-10 (AUC=0.836) and IL-33 (AUC=0.833) have good predictive value for SCIT efficacy. Conclusion After SCIT treatment, the levels of TNF-β, IL-10, and IL-33 increased, while the levels of CRP, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-13 decreased. Baseline levels of IL-10 and IL-33 are valuable predictors of efficacy. -
