To study changes of serum S100B protein level in preterm infants with brain damage and its role.
Forty-seven preterm infants were classified into 3 groups based on the results of brain ultrasound and MRI: brain white matter damage (WMD; n=13), brain but not white matter damage (non-WMD; n=14) and control (no brain damage; n=20). Blood samples were collected within 24 hrs, 72 hrs and 7 days after birth. S100B protein level was measured using ELISA.
Serum levels of S100B in the WMD and non-WMD groups were significantly higher than in the control group within 24 hours, 72 hours and 7 days after birth (P<0.05). More increased serum S100B levels were observed in the WMD group compared with the non-WMD group (P<0.05).
Serum S100B protein level increases in preterm infants with brain damage within 7 days after birth, suggesting that it may be used as an early sensitive marker for the diagnosis of brain damage, especially WMD.
研究脑损伤早产儿血清S100B蛋白水平的变化及其作用。
根据脑超声和磁共振成像结果,将47例早产儿分为3组:脑白质损伤(WMD;n = 13)、脑损伤但无白质损伤(非WMD;n = 14)和对照组(无脑损伤;n = 20)。于出生后24小时、72小时和7天采集血样。采用酶联免疫吸附测定法检测S100B蛋白水平。
出生后24小时、72小时和7天,WMD组和非WMD组的血清S100B水平显著高于对照组(P < 0.05)。与非WMD组相比,WMD组血清S100B水平升高更明显(P < 0.05)。
出生后7天内,脑损伤早产儿血清S100B蛋白水平升高,提示其可能作为脑损伤尤其是WMD诊断的早期敏感标志物。
