Abstract:
Objective To analyze the value of actin-related protein 2(ACTR2)and DEAD-box RNA helicase 3X-linked(DDX3X)expression in evaluating the severity of Rotavirus gastroenteritis(RVGE)in children.Methods A total of 153 children with rotavirus gastroenteritis admitted to Handan Maternal and Child Health Hospital from September 2022 to September 2024 were selected as the research objects.According to the severity of RVGE,the children with RVGE were divided into mild group(n=60),moderate group(n=71)and severe group(n=22).In addition,60 healthy children were randomly selected as the healthy group.The clinical data of the light group,the medium group and the heavy group were compared.The expression levels of ACTR2 and DDX3X in serum of each group were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.ROC curve was used to analyze the evaluation value of combined detection of serum ACTR2 and DDX3X in children with severe RVGE.Results The age of children with RVGE in the severe group was significantly lower than that in the mild group and the moderate group,and the differences were statistically significant(Z=8.307,5.885,all P＜0.001).There were statistically significant differences in dehydration and diarrhea among the three groups(F=9.434,126.080,all P＜0.05).The expression levels of ACTR2(1.20±0.28)and DDX3X(1.22±0.37)in RVGE group were significantly higher than those in control group(1.01±0.02,1.04±0.09),and the differences were statistically significant(t=5.071,3.584,all P＜0.05).The expression levels of ACTR2[1.11±0.23,1.23±0.21,1.42(1.25,1.57)]and DDX3X[1.14±0.22,1.25±0.24,1.32(1.23,1.62)]in the serum of the mild group,the moderate group and the severe group increased in turn,and the differences were statistically significant(Z=27.196,18.013,all P＜0.05).The ROC curve analysis results showed that the combined detection of serum ACTR2 and DDX3X predicted the AUC(95%CI)of critically ill RVGE patients,with higher sensitivity and specificity than the detection of the two alone(Z=2.573,2.101,P=0.014,0.034).Conclusion The expression levels of serum ACTR2 and DDX3X are closely related to the severity of RVGE.The combined detection of the two has a high predictive value for the diagnosis of the severity of RVGE.
