Objective:To investigate the auxiliary diagnostic value of serum midkine (MK) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC).Methods:Seventy-one postoperative DTC patients (DTC group) treated with 131I were selected, and 143 patients with benign thyroid lesions (benign thyroid disease group) treated with surgery in Center Hospital of Xiaogan from March 2019 to December 2020 at the same period were also selected. Clinical data such as liver and kidney function indexes, positive rate of anti thyroglobulin antibodies (TGAb) and positive rate of thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) were collected before treatment, and their fasting blood samples were collected before treatment. Fully automated electrochemiluminescence immunoassay was used to measure free thyroxine (FT 4), free triiodothyronine (FT 3), TSH levels in patients′ serum. The serum MK levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Binary Logistic regression model was used to screen for independent risk factors for the development of DTC. A receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn to evaluate the efficacy of MK, TSH and MK combined with TSH, in aiding the diagnosis of DTC and its staging. Results:Serum TSH and MK levels in DTC group were higher than those in benign thyroid disease group: (3.55 ± 0.61) mU/L vs. (2.97 ± 0.46) mU/L, (394.25 ± 63.36) ng/L vs. (311.45 ± 42.66) ng/L, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Elevated serum TSH and MK levels were independent risk factors for DTC. When MK combined with TSH was used to diagnose DTC, the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity and specificity were higher than those of MK and TSH alone (0.925 vs. 0.859 and 0.783, 83.10% vs. 78.87% and 73.24%, 89.51% vs. 85.31% and 79.02%), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Serum TSH and MK levels in stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ patients in DTC group were higher than those in stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ patients: (3.79 ± 0.65) mU/L vs. (3.42 ± 0.56) mU/L, (427.88 ± 52.73) ng/L vs. (311.45 ± 42.66) ng/L, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The AUC, sensitivity and specificity of MK combined with TSH in the diagnosis of different stages of DTC were higher than those of MK and TSH alone (0.822 vs. 0.657 and 0.666, 73.90% vs. 56.52% and 56.52%, 83.33% vs. 77.08% and 79.17%), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Serum TSH and MK levels are independent risk factors for the occurrence of DTC in patients, and the combination of them has certain auxiliary diagnostic value for the identification and staging of DTC.
