Objective:To investigate the relationship and assess the value of serum polyadenosine diphosphate ribose polymerase 1 (PARP1) and forkhead box transcription factor O1 (FOXO1) with cerebral neurological function in patients with severe craniocerebral injury (SCI).Methods:The clinical data of 100 patients with SCI from February 2021 to October 2022 in Baoji High-Tech Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The Glasgow coma score (GCS) on admission was recorded. According to the modified Rankin score (mRS) 3 months after discharge, the patients were divided into good recovery group (mRS 0 to 2 scores, 62 cases) and poor recovery group (mRS 3 to 5 scores, 38 cases). In addition, 50 individuals who underwent physical examinations in Baoji High-Tech Hospital during the same period were selected as the control group. The serum levels of PARP1 and FOXO1 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Correlation analysis was performed using Spearman method. Multifactor Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for poor cerebral neurological recovery in patients with SCI. The efficacy of PARP1 and FOXO1 in predicting the poor cerebral neurological recovery in patients with SCI was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:The PARP1 and FOXO1 in good recovery group and poor recovery group were significantly higher than those in control group: (4.14 ± 1.19) and (5.98 ± 1.02) μg/L vs. (2.13 ± 0.71) μg/L, (5.83 ± 1.22) and (7.57 ± 3.12) μg/L vs. (4.23 ± 1.34) μg/L, the indexes in poor recovery group were significantly higher than those in good recovery group, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The mRS in poor recovery group was significantly higher than that in good recovery group: (3.92 ± 0.87) scores vs. (1.03 ± 0.80) scores, and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis result showed that PARP1 and FOXO1 were positively correlated with mRS score in patients with SCI ( r = 0.673 and 0.646, P<0.05). Multifactor Logistic regression analysis result showed that the GCS, mRS, PARP1 and FOXO1 were independent risk factors for poor neurological recovery in patients with SCI ( HR = 1.039, 1.286, 1.439 and 1.389; 95% CI 1.003 to 1.076, 1.011 to 1.637, 1.029 to 2.012 and 1.009 to 1.912; P<0.05). ROC curve analysis result showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of PARP1 combination with FOXO1 in assessing poor cerebral neurological recovery in patients with SCI was significantly greater than the PARP1 and FOXO1 alone: 0.953 (95% CI 0.918 to 0.988) vs. 0.866 (95% CI 0.796 to 0.936) and 0.859 (95% CI 0.783 to 0.935), Z = 2.162 and 2.188, P = 0.031 and 0.029. Conclusions:The serum PARP1 and FOXO1 levels in patients with SCI are positively correlated with cerebral neurological recovery, and they have predictive value for cerebral neurological recovery status.
