摘要
目的:应用瞬时波强(Wave intensity,WI)技术评价绝经期前女性系统性红斑狼疮(Systemic lupus erythematosus,SLE)患者颈动脉血管内皮弹性功能改变,探讨WI技术在早期诊断SLE患者动脉粥样硬化方面的临床应用价值。材料与方法:根据病程将60例女性SLE患者分为SLE 1组(病史<5年)和SLE 2组(病史≥5年),用WI技术依次检查SLE 1组30例、SLE 2组30例和正常对照组30例,采集WI相关参数瞬时加速度波强(W1)、瞬时减速度波强(W2)、瞬时波强负向波面积(NA)、僵硬度(β)、瞬时波强脉搏波传导速度(PWV-WI)、脉搏波传导速度(PWVβ)、压力应变弹性系数(Ep)、顺应性(AC)、增大指数(AI)及内中膜厚度(IMT),并进行分析。结果:与正常对照组比较,SLE 1组、SLE 2组患者W2、β、Ep、PWV-WI、PWVβ值增高,AC值降低,差异有统计学意义(P≤0.01),3组W1、AI、NA值逐渐增高,差异无统计学意义。SLE 2组的W2、PWV-WI、β、Ep、PWVβ均较SLE 1组显著升高,AC显著降低,差异有统计学意义(P≤0.01)。结论:应用WI技术可早期检测SLE患者颈动脉弹性的变化,对临床早期防治心血管并发症的发生具有一定的指导意义。
Abstract
Objective: To observe the clinical value of early diagnosis of atherosclerosis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) using wave intensity technique and to evaluate changes of elasticity of carotid artery in pre-menopausal SLE patients. Materials and Methods: Sixty patients with SLE were divided into two groups according to different clinical courses: SLE group 1(duration<5 years), and SLE group 2(duration≥5 years). A Wave intensity method was used to measure and analyze instantaneous acceleration Wave intensity(W1), instantaneous deceleration Wave intensity(W2), negative area(NA), stiffness constant(β), one-point pulse wave velocity(PWVβ and PWV-WI), pressure strain elastic modulus(Ep), arterial compliance(AC), augmentation index(AI) and intimamedia thickness(IMT) of the right carotid arteries in 60 patients with SLE and in 30 normal control individuals. Results: Compared with the normal group, W2, β, Ep, PWV-WI, PWVβ of SLE group 1 and SLE group 2 were higher than those of the control group, but AC was lower than that of the control, with a statistically significant difference(P≤0.01). W1, AI, NA values were different in the three groups, but the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.01). W2, PWV-WI, β, Ep, PWVβ significantly increased in SLE group 2 comparing with SLE group 1, but AC decreased, with a statistically significant difference(P≤0.01). Conclusion: WI technique can detect the early changes of carotid elasticity in systemic lupus erythematosus patients. It may be useful for prevention and treatment of the complicated cardiovascular disease.
