Abstract:

Objective

To analyze the expression levels of serum adiponectin (APN), lipoprotein associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), interleukin-17 (IL-17) and their relationship with cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Methods

Eighty-two AD patients with income from May 2020 to May 2022 in Neurology Department of Taikang Tongji Hospital were selected as the observation group, and 45 healthy people who came to our hospital for physical examination in the same period were selected as the control group. The patients in AD group were divided into mild group, moderate group and severe group according to their condition with the clinical dementia assessment scale. The cognitive function of the patients was evaluated with the mini mental state scale (MMSE). The serum levels of APN, Lp-PLA2 and IL-17 of all the subjects were measured. The serum levels of APN, Lp-PLA2 and IL-17 in the observation group, the control group and the patients with different disease conditions were compared. The correlation between serum APN, Lp-PLA2, IL-17 and MMSE scores and the severity of the disease in AD patients were analysied.

Results

The serum APN level in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the levels of Lp-PLA2 and IL-17 were higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The level of APN in the mild group was higher than that in the moderate group and higher than that in the severe group, the level of Lp-PLA2 and IL-17 in the mild group were lower than those in the moderate group and the severe group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The MMSE score of the control group was higher than that of the mild group, the moderate group and the severe group (P<0.05). MMSE score was positively correlated with APN, negatively correlated with Lp-PLA2 and IL-17 (P<0.05), and the severity of the disease was negatively correlated with APN, positively correlated with Lp-PLA2 and IL-17 (P<0.05). The area under the curve of serum APN, Lp-PLA2 and IL-17 alone or in combination to distinguish mild and moderate severe disease was 0.744, 0.862, 0.834 and 0.875.

Conclusion

There are abnormal expressions of APN, Lp-PLA2 and IL-17 in AD patients, which are closely related to cognitive function and have certain reference value for clinical differentiation of the severity of the disease.
