Abstract

Objective To explore the correlation between the expression level of serum Receptor for Advanced Glycation End?Product (RAGE) and High?Mobility Group Protein B1 (HMGB1) expression with the occurrence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and interferon?γ/interleukin?4 (IFN?γ/IL?4) ratio in patients with severe pneumonia (SP). Methods A prospective investigation was carried out on one hundred children with SP admitted to our hospital from March 2020 to February 2022, and the participants were classified into ARDS group (n = 56) and control group (n = 44) based on the occurrence of secondary ARDS. General informations werecollected. The expression of RAGE, HMGB1, IFN?γ and IL?4 in peripheral blood was measured using Enzyme?Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Then multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to screen the influencing factors of secondary ARDS in SP children, and the correlation with IFN?γ/IL?4 ratio was verified by pearson correlation analysis, moreover, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to evaluate the value of RAGE and HMGB1 expression in predicting the occurrence of ARDS in SP children. Results There were no statistical difference in gender, age, body temperature and onset season between the two SP groups. The ARDS group had more types of pathogenic bacteria, larger ratio of the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood to the inspired oxygen fraction (PaO2/FiO2), higher Acute Physiological Score (APS), and up?regulated expression of RAGE, HMGB1, IFN?γ and IL?4, as well as larger IFN?γ/IL?4 ratio than those of control group, with statistical difference (all P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that pathogen type, PaO2/FiO2 ratio, RAGE, HMGB1, IFN?γ, IL?4 and IFN?γ/IL?4 were the influencing factors for the occurrence of ARDS in children with SP. Pearson correlation test denoted that the serum RAGE and HMGB1 expression levels of SP children were positively correlated with IFN?γ, IL?4 and IFN?γ/IL?4 ratio (P < 0.05). ROC curve found that the AUC of serum RAGE and HMGB1 in predicting the occurrence of ARDS in SP children was 0.707 and 0.750, with a sensitivity of 73.2% and 64.3%, and a specificity of 68.2% and 77.3%. The combined test of RAGE and HMGB1 in predicting the occurrence of ARDS in SP children reached an AUC of 0.848, providing a sensitivity and specificity of 80.4% and 81.8% respectively. Conclusions Serum RAGE and HMGB1 expression levels are elevated in SP children with ARDS, and the two are positively correlated with IFN?γ/IL?4 ratio. Therefore, monitoring serum RAGE and HMGB1 expression in children with ARDS secondary to SP has predictive value for the risk of ARDS in SP children.
