摘要
目的:总结 57 例抗 EJ(anti-glycyl tRNA synthetase)抗体阳性抗合成酶综合征(antisynthetase syndrome,ASS)相关间质性肺疾病(interstitial lung disease,ILD)患者的临床特征,并分析ILD复发的相关因素.方法:选择2020年1月1日至2024年6月30日在南京医科大学第一附属医院(江苏省人民医院)风湿免疫科就诊的57例抗EJ抗体阳性ASS患者的病例资料进行回顾性分析,收集的数据包括患者的一般情况、临床表现、实验室检查结果和胸部CT影像,以及肺功能检查结果[包括用力肺活量(forced vital capacity,FVC)、第1秒用力呼气容积(forced expiratory volume in the first second,FEV1)和一氧化碳弥散量(diffusion lung carbon monoxide,DLCO)],并进一步分析ILD复发的临床特征.结果:所有57例抗EJ抗体阳性ASS患者均合并ILD,平均发病年龄为(58.18±10.27)岁,平均病程为3.00(2.00,16.00)个月.患者中70.18%为女性,87.72%有咳嗽症状,70.18%有咳痰症状,89.47%出现呼吸困难,14.04%发生呼吸衰竭.肺功能结果显示,FVC占正常预计值的百分比(FVC%)、FEV1占正常预计值的百分比(FEV1%)和DLCO占正常预计值的百分比(DLCO%)分别为59.36±21.41、58.34±19.46和58.17±27.95,氧合指数为(363.24±99.42)mmHg.胸部CT影像中,非特异性间质性肺炎(nonspecific inter-stitial pneumonia,NSIP)为最常见的影像学表现类型.在46例完成12个月以上随访的患者中,21例(45.65%)出现了ILD复发.复发组的平均发病年龄为(61.38±8.63)岁,而非复发组为(55.28±11.85)岁,差异无统计学意义(P=0.056).进一步分析发现,复发组的红细胞沉降率(erythrocyte sedimentation rate,ESR)水平显著高于非复发组[(50.48±29.64)mm/h vs.30.28±23.97)mm/h,P=0.025],血清 IgM(immune globulin M,IgM)水平也明显高于非复发组(P=0.042).此外,复发组的CD8+T细胞百分比显著高于非复发组(25.48±11.81 vs.18.59±8.53,P=0.027).尽管复发组患者在基线时的年龄偏大,且ESR、IgM和CD8+T细胞百分比在两组间差异有统计学意义,但多因素二元Logistics回归分析显示,这些指标均未被证实为ILD复发的独立危险因素.结论:ILD是抗EJ抗体阳性ASS患者的主要临床表现,并且常伴有显著的肺功能损伤.尽管糖皮质激素和免疫抑制剂的联合治疗对大多数患者有效,但ILD的复发率依然较高.基线ESR水平增快、IgM升高及CD8+T细胞百分比增加的患者更容易出现复发.
Abstract
Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of 57 patients diagnosed with anti-glycyl tRNA synthetase(anti-EJ)positive antisynthetase syndrome(ASS),a subtype of anti-glycyl tRNA positive ASS,complicated by interstitial lung disease(ILD),and to investigate the factors asso-ciated with ILD recurrence.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 57 anti-EJ positive ASS patientswho were treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical Universi-ty from January 1,2020 to June 30,2024.The data collected included demographic information,clinical characteristics,laboratory test results,chest CT findings,and pulmonary function tests.The characteris-tics of ILD recurrence were also analyzed.Results:All the 57 patients with anti-EJ positive ASS were diagnosed with ILD.The mean age at disease onset was(58.18±10.27)years,with a mean disease duration of 3.00(2.00,16.00)months.Among the patients,70.18%were female,87.72%experi-enced a cough,70.18%had expectoration,89.47%reported respiratory difficulties,and 14.04%de-veloped respiratory failure.The results of pulmonary function test showed that the percentage of forced vi-tal capacity(FVC)in the normal predicted value(FVC%),the percentage of forced expiratory volume in the first second(FEV1)in the normal predicted value(FEV1%)and the percentage of diffusion lung carbon monoxide(DLCO)in the normal predicted value(DLCO%)were 59.36±21.41,58.34±19.46 and 58.17±27.95,respectively.The oxygenation index was(363.24±99.42)mmHg.Chest CT imaging showed that nonspecific interstitial pneumonia(NSIP)was the most common radiographic pattern.Among the 46 patients who completed a follow-up of more than 12 months,21 cases(45.65%)showed recurrence of ILD.The average age of onset for the recurrence group was(61.38±8.63)years,while that for the non-recurrence group was(55.28±11.85)years,with a difference approaching statis-tical significance(P=0.056).Further analysis showed that the ESR(erythrocyte sedimentation rate)level was significantly higher in the recurrence group than in the non-recurrence group[(50.48±29.64)mm/h vs.30.28±23.97)mm/h,P=0.025],and the IgM(immune globulin M)level was also significantly higher in the recurrence group(P=0.042).Moreover,the CD8+T proportion was significantly higher in the recurrence group than in the non-recurrence group(25.48±11.81 vs.18.59±8.53,P=0.027).Despite the fact that the recurrence group had a higher baseline age,higher ESR,IgM,and CD8+T proportion,multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed that these indicators were not independent risk factors for ILD recurrence.Conclusion:ILD is the most common clinical manifestation in patients with anti-EJ positive ASS,with a significant impact on pulmonary function.Al-though the patients responded well to a combination of glucocorticoid and immunosuppressive therapies,the recurrence rate remains high,particularly in those with increased sputum production,and elevated ESR.Close monitoring and early intervention for high-risk patients are essential to improving long-term outcomes.
