Abstract:
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of serum levels of leukocyte cell derived chemo-taxin 2(LECT2)and tumor necrosis factor ligand-related molecule-1A(TL1A)in children with atopic der-matitis(AD).Methods A total of 83 children with AD who were adimitted to the hospital from August 2021 to August 2023 were selected as the AD group,and 83 healthy children who underwent physical examination in the hospital during the same period were selected as the control group.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was applied to measure the expression levels of LECT2 and TL1A in serum.Spearman method was applied to analyze the correlation between serum LECT2,TL1A,and AD integral index(SCORAD).Multiva-riate Logistic regression was applied to analyze the factors that affected the severity of AD in children.Receiv-er operating characteristic(ROC)curve was applied to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of serum LECT2 and TL1A levels on the severity of AD in children.Results Compared with the control group,the expression lev-els of LECT2 and TL1A in the serum of the AD group were significantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the low-grade group,the serum LECT2,TL1 A,SCORAD score,EOS and total IgE in the moderate and severe groups were significantly increased in turn(P＜0.05).According to Spearman correlation analysis,the serum levels of LECT2 and TL1A in the AD group were positively correlated with the SCORAD score(r=0.776,0.693,both P＜0.05).According to the results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis,serum LECT2、TL1 A、EOS and total IgE were risk factors affecting the severity of AD in children(P＜0.05).In ad-dition,the combination of serum LECT2 and TL1A had the highest AUC for diagnosing the severity of AD in children,which was better than the individual diagnosis of serum LECT2 and TL1A(Z=2.249,1.989,P=0.025,0.047).Conclusion The elevated levels of serum LECT2 and TL1A in children with AD are closely re-lated to the severity of the disease,and the combination of the two can better evaluate the severity of the dis-ease in children with AD.
