Abstract:
Objective:To explore the value of the concentration of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in CD4 +T lymphocytes in predicting repeated respiratory tract infections (RRTI) in silicosis patients. Methods:In April 2020, 614 silicosis patients admitted from March 2016 to March 2018 were included in the study, and they were divided into the RRTI group ( n=105) and the non RRTI group ( n=509) according to whether the occurrence of RRTI, another 30 healthy cases taken from body check were served as control group, and the concentrations of ATP produced by CD4 +T lymphocytes was measured by ImmuKnow assay, and were compared between the three groups. And drawed the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors of RRTI. Results:The incidence of RRTI in silicosis patients was 17.10% (105/614) . The concentration of ATP produced by CD4 +T lymphocytes in the RRTI group [ (260.42±90.36) mg/L] was significantly lower than that in the non RRTI group [ (413.66±138.74) mg/L] ( t=-10.849, P<0.01) . The area under the ROC curve was 0.834, the cutoff value was 284 mg/L, the sensitivity was 0.88, and the specificity was 0.83. Logistic regression analysis showed that the concentration of ATP produced by CD4 +T lymphocytes≤284 mg/L, impaired pulmonary ventilation function, serum albumin<40 g/L and diabetes were the risk factors of RRTI in silicosis patients ( OR=2.126, 1.217, 1.164, 1.125, P<0.05) . Conclusion:Low CD4 +T lymphocyte ATP value was a risk factor of RRTI in silicosis patients, and can predict the risk of RRTI in patients with silicosis.
