Abstract:Objective: To investigate the relationship between the levels of soluble cluster of differentiation 14 (sCD14) and interleukin-35 (IL-35) in peripheral blood and secondary pulmonary infection in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after interventional therapy, and to analyze their predictive value for secondary pulmonary infection. Methods: A total of 298 patients with NSCLC in our hospital from May 2021 to December 2024 were selected and treated with interventional ablation. According to whether there was secondary pulmonary infection within 1 week after operation, they were divided into infection group and non-infection group. The baseline data of the two groups were analyzed by propensity score matching. The levels of sCD14, IL-35, C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) in peripheral blood before and after interventional therapy were compared. The correlation between the levels of sCD14, IL-35 and CRP, PCT was analyzed. The linear relationship between sCD14, IL-35 and secondary pulmonary infection in patients with NSCLC as well as the predictive value of peripheral blood sCD14 and IL-35 for secondary pulmonary infection in patients with NSCLC after interventional therapy were also analyzed. Results: Of 298 NSCLC patients undergoing interventional therapy, 42 cases of secondary pulmonary infection were enrolled in the infection group, and the remaining 256 cases were enrolled in the non-infection group. A total of 64 cases were successfully matched by propensity score matching, including 32 cases in the infection group and 32 cases in the non-infection group. After interventional therapy, the levels of sCD14, CRP and PCT in the infection group were higher than those in the non-infection group, while the level of IL-35 was lower than that in the non-infection group (P<0.05).After NSCLC interventional therapy,the level of sCD14 in peripheral blood of patients with secondary pulmonary infection was positively correlated with CRP and PCT (r=0.665, 0.686, P<0.05), while the level of IL-35 was negatively correlated with CRP and PCT (r=-0.725, -0.777, P<0.05). Smooth curve fitting showed that sCD14 in peripheral blood after interventional therapy was linearly and positively correlated with the risk of secondary pulmonary infection in NSCLC patients (P<0.05), while IL-35 was linearly and negatively correlated with the risk of secondary pulmonary infection in NSCLC patients (P<0.05). The AUC value of peripheral blood sCD14, IL-35 combined with CRP and PCT in predicting secondary pulmonary infection in NSCLC patients after interventional therapy was as high as 0.930(P<0.05), with good predictive efficacy and significant incremental value. Conclusion: The increase of sCD14 level in peripheral blood of NSCLC patients is linearly and positively correlated with the risk of secondary pulmonary infection after interventional therapy, while the decrease of IL-35 level is linearly and negatively correlated with the risk of secondary pulmonary infection after interventional therapy. Combined detection of sCD14, IL-35, CRP and PCT in peripheral blood after interventional therapy has high predictive value for the risk of secondary pulmonary infection.
