Changes of serum levels of interleukin-13 and squamous cell carcinoma antigen in children with asthma and its clinical significance / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the changes of serum interleukin-13 (IL-13) and squarnous cell carcinoma antigen (SccAg) levels in pediatric asthma and its clinical significance.Methods 45 children with pediatric asthma were selected as observation group,45 healthy children at the same time were selected as control group.IL-13 and SccAg levels in the two groups were detected by ELISA.The correlation between the serum IL-13,SccAg levels and pediatric asthma was analyzed.Results In the observation group,the IL-13,SccAg levels at the attack stage were (148.96 ± 24.56) ng/L,(3.36 ± 0.69) μg/L,respectively,the IL-13,SccAg levels at the remission stage were (90.65 ± 20.14)ng/L,(2.58 ± 0.34) μg/L,respectively,which in the control group were (76.48 ± 17.54) ng/L,(2.30 ± 0.36) μg/L,respectively,the differences were statistically significant (F =5.36,6.39,all P ＜ 0.05).In the observation group,the IL-13,SccAg levels in the patients with moderate or severe disease were (135.48 ± 21.69)ng/L,(2.86 ± 0.36) μg/L,respectively,the IL-13,SccAg levels in the patients with mild disease were (160.38 ± 22.45) ng/L,(3.30 ±0.41) μg/L,respectively,which in the control group were (76.48 ± 17.54) ng/L,(2.30 ± 0.36) μg/L,respectively,the differences were statistically significant (F =5.78,6.78,all P ＜ 0.05).The serum IL-13 and SccAg levels had significantly positive correlation with pediatric asthma during the attack stage and remission stage (r =0.982,0.965,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The serum IL-13 and SccAg levels have certain association with the incidence of asthma,which play an important role in determining the development and reorientation of asthma.
