Abstract:

Objective To observe the levels of antioxidant and inflammatory factors in female patients with diabetic neurogenic bladder (DNB) and to analyze their clinical significance. Methods A total of 321 female patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) visited the Endocrinology Department of Affiliated Changshu Hospital of Nantong University from January 2020 to December 2021 were included. They were divided into DNB group and DM group, matched by 1∶3 after passing the tendency score. Plasma levels of antioxidant and inflammatory factors in the matched two groups were analyzed by t-test, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione reductase (GR) with P<0.1 were established as logistic regression equations for the dependent variable, and a nomogram was constructed for DNB risk prediction. Plasma levels of TNF-α, IL-6, SOD and GR with unmatched propensity scores were externally verified. Results There were significant differences in disease course, body mass index, hypertension, glycated hemoglobin, creatinine, and total cholesterol between the two groups before matching, and there was no significant differences in baseline data after the preference score after matching the baseline data. There were significant differences in plasma levels of TNF-α in the matched DNB group (47.75±13.04) ng/L and TNF-α (43.18±10.25) ng/L in the matched DM group (P<0.05), while no significant difference was detected in IL-6 level (15.45± 5.78 ng/L vs 13.91±4.62 ng/L, P>0.05). There were significant differences in SOD (56.33±6.53 ng/ml vs 58.75±7.63 ng/ml) and GR (73.93±17.53 ng/L vs 82.18±23.65 ng/L)(P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that TNF-α, IL-6 and GR were independent risk factors for DNB occurrence (P<0.05). The fit of the regression equation obtained the following statistical data: R 2=0.158, F=4, P=0.0006. External validation of data rows including unmatched samples showed that the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.795(P<0.01). Conclusion In female patients with DNB, plasma antioxidant factors decrease, while inflammatory factors significantly increase. Among them, TNF-α, IL-6, and GR are identified as risk factors for DNB. Additionally, the prediction model established based on these antioxidant and inflammatory factors is able to differentiate DNB to some extent.
