Abstract:
Objective:To explore the application value of heparin binding protein (HBP) in the diagnosis of severe infection in patients with silicosis.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 150 patients with silicosis in the pneumoconiosis department of the General Hospital of Xuzhou Mining Group from January 2017 to March 2018. Among them, 100 were severely infected with silicosis and 50 were non-infected with silicosis. 30 patients were selected in the same period of physical examination as the control group. HBP, C-reactive protein (CRP) , procalcitonin(PCT) , white blood cell count (WBC) , neutrophil percentage, and absolute neutrophil count(ANC) were detected in all participants. Using the receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC) to analyze the diagnostic value of indicator above in patients with different stages of severe silicosis infection.Results:Plasma HBP levels in patients with severely infected silicosis group[(50.39±35.64) ng/ml] were higher than those in the non-infected group[(10.71±1.47) ng/ml] and the control group[(9.24±1.83) ng/ml] ( P<0.05) , and with the increase of silicosis stages, there is an increasing trend ( P<0.05). The ROC curve showed that the AUC of HBP in the patients with severe silicosis in the first, second, and third stages were 0.932, 0.977, and 0.964, which were higher than those of WBC, CRP, and PCT. Correlation analysis showed that HBP was positively correlated with WBC, CRP and PCT ( r=0.711, 0.359, 0.729, P<0.01). Conclusion:HBP has high diagnostic efficacy in the diagnosis of severe infections in patients with silicosis, which may become a clinical screening indicator for severe infections in patients with silicosis and an auxiliary examination indicator for the stage of silicosis patients.
