Abstract:
Objective To explore the relationship between serum CXC chemokine ligand 12(CXCL12),an-giotensin Ⅱ receptor-like 1 endogenous ligand 13(Apelin-13)and carotid atherosclerosis(CAS)in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods From October 2022 to September 2024,a total of 105 T2DM patients in Rugao People's Hospital(the hospital)were included as the T2DM group,and healthy volunteers who experienced physical check ups in the hospital were regarded as the control group.According to whether T2DM patients developed CAS,they were assigned into non CAS group(n=61)and CAS group(n=44).Fully automatic biochemical analyzer was applied to detect the levels of blood lipid indicators total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)and low-density lipoprotein choles-terol(LDL-C).Fully automatic glycated hemoglobin analyzer was used to detect glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c)level.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was applied to detect the levels of CXCL12 and Apelin-13.Multivariate Logistic regression was applied to analyze the influencing factors of concurrent CAS in T2DM.Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between CXCL12,Apelin-13 and the course of diabetes,blood glucose and lipid indicators.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was applied to ana-lyze the predictive value of CXCL12 and Apelin-13 for T2DM complicated with CAS,and the Z-test was ap-plied to compare the differences in the area under the curve(AUC).Results The level of CXCL12 in the T2DM group was higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05),and Apelin-13 level was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The course of T2DM,HbA1c,TC,TG,LDL-C,and CXCL12 levels in the CAS group were higher than those in the non CAS group(P＜0.05),while HDLC and Apelin-13 levels were lower than those in the non CAS group(P＜0.05).The level of CXCL12 in the CAS group was positively correlated with the course of T2DM,HbA1c,TC,TG,and LDL-C levels(P＜0.05),and negatively correlated with HDL-C levels(P＜0.05),while the correlation of Apelin-13 was opposite(P＜0.05).CXCL12 and Apelin-13 were independent influencing factors for concurrent CAS in T2DM patients(P＜0.05).The AUC predicted by CX-CL12 and Apelin-13 in T2DM patients complicated with CAS was 0.916,which was better than 0.783 and 0.788 predicted separately(P＜0.05).Conclusion The high levels of CXCL12 and low levels of Apelin-13 in the serum of T2DM patients are independent influencing factors for concurrent CAS in T2DM.The combined detection of CXCL12 and Apelin-13 to predict CAS in T2DM patients has certain clinical significance and pro-vides a basis for disease assessment and treatment.
