Clinical value of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule -1 in patients with thyroid disease / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the contents and clinical significance of soluble intracellular adhesion molecule-1 ( sICAM-1 ) in patients with single goitre,Graves'and Hashimoto disease. Methods The contents of sICAM-1 in 100 cases of simple goiter group, Graves disease (GD) group 250 cases, Hashimot group 50 cases and 100 normal control were examined by sICAM-1 Radioimmunoassay(RIA) method,and the results were analyzed. Results There were no significant difference of sICAM-1 contents between ( 170.43 ± 34. 23 ) μg/L in normal control group and ( 182.48 ± 40.05) μg/L in simple goiter group( t = 1. 104, P ＞ 0. 05 ); The contents of slCAM-1 in GD group and HT group [( 279.93 ± 86.69) μg/L、 (250.36 ± 81.56) μg/L] were higher than the control group( t = 2.310,2. 210, all P ＜0. 05) ;The sICAM-1 contents in 3 species.methods after treatment [( 178.95 ±59.78) μg/L, ( 185.65 ±53.25)μg/L, (259.41 ± 71.46) μg/L)] were significantly lower than before treatment [(316.53 ± 66.13) μg/L, (277.79±64.30)μg/L,(285.71 ±72.14)μg/L](t=2.312,2.278,2.328,all P ＜0.05);After the Graves'patients were treated and their thyroid function were normal,their serum sICAM-1 levels( 251.92 ± 77.75 )μg/L were lower than that( 329.34 ± 90.47 ) μg/L in relapse Graves'group( t= 2.412 ,P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusion sICAM-1 RIA can be used as a parameter in diagnosing autoimmune thyroid diseases and in evaluating effects of therapy,stopping medicine or the relapse of Graves' disease.
