Objective: To investigate the levels of progranulin(PGRN) and lipocalin-2(LCN2) in the serum of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis(PTB) and their correlation with the severity of the disease. Methods: From February 2020 to February 2023, 127 pulmonary tuberculosis patients who visited our hospital were regarded as the study subjects. They were separated into mild disease group(n=78) and severe disease group(n=49) based on the severity of the disease. Additionally, 72 healthy individuals who underwent physical examination were regarded as the control group. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was applied to determine the levels of serum PGRN and LCN2 in each group; Spearman method was applied to analyze the correlation between serum PGRN and LCN2 levels and Bandim TB score; multivariate Logistic regression was applied to analyze the influencing factors of severe PTB occurrence; receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was plotted to analyze the diagnostic value of serum PGRN and LCN2 levels for severe PTB. Results: The serum levels of PGRN and LCN2 in the severe group were obviously higher than those in the mild group and the control group(P<0.05); the proportion of diabetes history, Bandim TB score, IL-10, IFN-γ, PCT, CRP levels in severe group were obviously higher than those in mild group(P<0.05); the levels of serum PGRN and LCN2 were positively correlated with Bandim TB score(rs=0.428, 0.420, all P<0.001); PGRN (OR=1.576, 95%CI=1.112-2.234) and LCN2 (OR=2.163, 95%CI=1.320-3.545) were risk factors for the occurrence of severe PTB(P<0.05); the area under the curve(AUC) of the combination of serum PGRN and LCN2 levels for diagnosing severe PTB was 0.943, with a sensitivity of 91.84%, the combination of the two was superior to individual diagnosis(Zcombination-PGRN=2.327, P=0.020; Zcombination-LCN2=2.061, P=0.039). Conclusion: The serum levels of PGRN and LCN2 in PTB patients are positively correlated with Bandim TB score, and their serum levels are closely related to the severity of disease. |
