Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of serum lipoprotein-related phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2) combined with superoxide dismutase(SOD) in predicting mild cognitive impairment (MCI)in cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD). Methods According to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA) score at admission,a total of 120 patients with CSVD were enrolled and classified into MCI group(MoCA score <26) and control group(MoCA score ≥26). The general information and past medical history of the patients were collected,and plasma Lp-PLA2 and SOD levels were determined. Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between Lp-PLA2,SOD and MoCA score. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the risk factors for MCI. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to evaluate the values of Lp-PLA2 and SOD in the auxiliary diagnosis of MCI. Results The level of Lp-PLA2 in MCI group was higher than that in control group(P<0.05),and the level of SOD was lower than that in control group(P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that Lp-PLA2 [odds ratio(OR)=3.241,95% confidence interval(CI) 2.014-5.362] were independent risks of MCI,and SOD(OR=0.652,95%CI 0.407-0.964) was an independent protective factor for MCI. Lp-PLA2 was negatively correlated with MoCA score(r=-0.535,P=0.017),and SOD was positively correlated with MoCA score(r=0.684,P=0.008). The areas under curves(AUC) of Lp-PLA2,SOD single determinations and combined determination in the diagnosis of MCI were 0.813,0.738 and 0.903,respectively,and the efficiency of combined determination was better than those of single determinations(P<0.05). Conclusions Lp-PLA2 and SOD are influence factors for MCI in CSVD patients,and the combined determination may play a role in the diagnosis of MCI.
