Abstract:

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum endothelial cell-specific molecule 1(ESM1),dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate(DHEA-S)and cardiac autonomic neuropathy(CAN)in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). Methods From August 2021 to August 2023,198 T2DM patients who were diagnosed and treated in Beijing Electric Power Hospital were enrolled. They were classified into CAN group (96 cases) and non-CAN group (102 cases) based on the standard cardiovascular autonomic reflex test(CART). The clinical data of all patients were collected. Serum ESM1,DHEA-S,inflammatory factors [high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP),interleukin-17 (IL-17)] and routine biochemical indicators [total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),serum creatinine (SCr),fasting blood glucose,glycated hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c),albumin(Alb),homocysteine (Hcy),cardiac troponin T (cTnT),hemoglobin (Hb)] were determined. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the influencing factors of CAN in T2DM patients. The diagnostic efficacy of serum ESM1 and DHEA-S for CAN in T2DM patients was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve. Results The serum ESM1 level in CAN group was higher than that in non-CAN group (P<0.05),and the serum DHEA-S level was lower than that in non-CAN group (P<0.05). ESM1,HbA1c,hs-CRP and cTnT were the risk factors for CAN in T2DM patients [odds ratios(OR)were 1.584,1.799,1.391 and 1.679,95% confidence intervals(CI)were 1.023-2.452,1.087-2.977,1.013-1.911 and 1.027-2.746,respectively,P<0.05]. DHEA-S and Alb were protective factors for CAN in T2DM patients (OR=0.793 and 0.907,95%CI 0.694-0.906 and 0.849-0.970,respectively,P<0.05). The areas under curves (AUC) of serum ESM1 and DHEA-S single and combined determinations for the diagnosis of CAN in T2DM patients were 0.889,0.848 and 0.947,respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the combined determination were 90.6% and 76.4%,respectively. Conclusions Serum ESM1 and DHEA-S may serve as biomarkers for the diagnosis of CAN in patients with T2DM.
