Abstract:
Objective To explore the expression levels and clinical significance of serum eosinophil derived neurotoxin(EDN)and prostaglandin D2(PGD2)in children with respiratory syncytial viruses(RSV)pneu-monia with wheezing.Methods A total of 96 children with RSV pneumonia admitted to the hospital from March 2021 to September 2023 were selected case group,who were divided into wheezing group(n=51)and non-wheezing group(n=45)according to whether they were combined with wheezing or not.The children a-mong wheezing group were divided into mild group(n=23),moderate group(n=17)and severe group(n=11)according to the degree of disease.And the children among wheezing group were also divided into effective group(n=41)and non-effective group(n=10)according to therapeutic effect after treatment for one week.In the same period,60 children were randomly selected as control group.Serum EDN and PGD2 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Spearman's rank correlation was used to analyse the associ-ation between serum EDN,PGD2 and degree of disease.Logistic regression was used to analyse the association between serum EDN,PGD2 and clinical efficacy of children with wheezing and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum EDN,PGD2 on the clinical effective of chil-dren with wheezing.Results Serum EDN and PGD2 levels were higher in case group than those in control group(P＜0.05).Serum EDN and PGD2 levels were higher in wheezing group than those in non-wheezing group(P＜0.05).Serum EDN and PGD2 levels were increased sequentially in mild group,moderate group and severe group(P＜0.05).Serum EDN and PGD2 levels were positively associated with degree of disease in children with wheezing(P＜0.05).Elevated EDN and PGD2 were risk factors for ineffective clinical efficacy in children with wheezing(OR=1.241,1.225,1.309,P＜0.05).The area under the curve of serum EDN and PGD2 and combined detection to predict the clinical efficacy was 0.778,0.785,0.879,respectively,and the predictive value of combined indicators was greater than that of single indicator(Z=1.956,1.871,P=0.029,0.033).Conclusion Up-regulation of serum EDN and PGD2 expression is involved in wheezing process of children with RSV pneumonia,which is closely related to degree of disease and clinical efficacy.Early com-bined examination of two indicators may assist in the clinical assessment of degree of disease and prediction of clinical efficacy in children with wheezing.
