文摘目的探讨原发性干燥综合征(primary Sj gren syndrome,pSS)患者唾液胱抑素D水平与唾液腺损伤的相关性。方法纳入2022年9月1日至2023年6月30日就诊于西安交通大学第一附属医院风湿免疫科pSS组患者51例及年龄、性别匹配的来院健康体检对照组人员51例。检测唾液中胱抑素D水平,采用独立样本t检验评估两组胱抑素D水平的差异,采用Pearson相关性检验评估pSS组胱抑素D与临床指标的关系。结果pSS组唾液中胱抑素D水平明显低于对照组(206.55±108.11 vs 374.32±172.24 pg/mL,P<0.01)。pSS患者胱抑素D水平与其静态唾液流率(r=0.433,P=0.002)及动态唾液流率(r=0.363,P=0.009)呈正相关。高唾液腺超声检查评分的pSS患者唾液胱抑素D水平明显低于低评分患者(腮腺:160.75±85.56 vs 290.53±95.17 pg/mL,P<0.01;颌下腺:157.76±87.59 vs 276.25±97.06 pg/mL,P<0.01)。pSS患者胱抑素D水平与外周血IL-6水平(r=-0.453,P=0.001)及CD4+T细胞计数(r=-0.396,P=0.005)呈负相关。结论pSS患者唾液胱抑素D水平可作为反映唾液腺损伤的指标。
