Acne vulgaris (AV) is a chronic inflammatory disorder. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is a vital adhesion molecule mediating cellular adhesion during the inflammatory process.
To evaluate serum soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) level in AV patients as an attempt to elucidate its role in acne pathogenesis and to relate with studied clinical parameters.
Serum sICAM-1 level was measured using ELISA technique in 60 patients and 60 controls.
Serum sICAM-1 level was significantly elevated in studied patients than controls ( < 0.001). Additionally, its level increased significantly with increased acne severity ( < 0.001) but not in patients with post acne scars ( > 0.05).
Serum sICAM-1 could be a marker for acne etiopathogenesis. Furthermore, it might be considered as a predictor for disease severity.
寻常痤疮(AV)是一种慢性炎症性疾病。细胞间黏附分子-1(ICAM-1)是一种在炎症过程中介导细胞黏附的重要黏附分子。
评估寻常痤疮患者血清可溶性细胞间黏附分子-1(sICAM-1)水平,以阐明其在痤疮发病机制中的作用,并与所研究的临床参数相关联。
采用酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)技术检测60例患者和60例对照者的血清sICAM-1水平。
研究患者的血清sICAM-1水平显著高于对照组(<0.001)。此外,其水平随痤疮严重程度的增加而显著升高(<0.001),但痤疮后瘢痕患者的水平无显著变化(>0.05)。
血清sICAM-1可能是痤疮病因发病机制的一个标志物。此外,它可能被视为疾病严重程度的一个预测指标。
