Abstract:
Objective To investigate application value of changes in serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE)in early diagnosis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).Methods 160 cases of diabetes were recruited from January 2013 to December 2014, 120 of which were combined with DPN according to the 2009 “DPN Diagnostic & Treatment Guidelines”(the DPN group), and the other 40 were not (the DM group).Patients were further stratified into mild,moderate,and severe DPNs according to the Toronto Clinical Scoring System (TCSS).Another 160 healthy subjects were recruited as control.Serum NSE level was determined by chemiluminescence immunoassay,and was compared among the DPN group,the DM group,and the con-trol group.Serum NSE levels were also compared among DPN patients with different serum glucose levels and different TC-SS grading.Results Serum NSE levels (μg/L)of the DPN group,DM group,and control group were 23.5±3.0,12.4±2.3 and 11.3±1.6 respectively,and the difference between DPN and the other two groups was significant (t=12.312,14.523, P <0.05).DPN patients with serum glucose levels of 3.9~6.1,6.1 ~8.0,and ≥8.0 mmol/L had NSE levels of 22.1 ± 1.6,23.6±1.2 and 25.0±1.5 respectively,and the difference was significant (t =4.021 ~ 7.534,P <0.05 for all).DPN patients with mild,moderate,and severe DPN had NSE levels of 21.6±1.1,23.1±1.5,25.2±1.3,and the difference was significant (t=3.320~5.526,P <0.05 for all).NSE level was positively correlated with TCSS score (r=0.572,P <0.05). Conclusion Serum NSE level is closely correlated with DPN,and can be used as a key indicator for early diagnosis of DPN.
