Abstract:Objective To investigate clinical application value of ACTH, CORT, IL-18 and TNF-α in predicting depression. Methods A total of 60 patients with first-diagnosis depression admitted to Ningbo Kangning Hospital (“our hospital” for short) from June 2017 to June 2019 were selected as depression group, a total of 60 healthy persons who underwent routine physical examination in our hospital during the same period were selected as the control group. Serum levels of ACTH, CORT, IL-18 and TNF-α in two groups were detected respectively to analyze the correlation with depression. Results The serum levels of ACTH, CORT, IL-18 and TNF-α in depression group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The serum levels of ACTH was positively correlated with total score of Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) and HAMD factors (P < 0.05), such as depression, guilt, insomnia at the end of early sleep, mental anxiety, somatic anxiety, diurnal and nighttime changes, and impaired ability. CORT was positively correlated with total score of HAMD and factors (P < 0.05), such as depression, insomnia at the end of early sleep, work interest, somatic anxiety, weight loss, diurnal and nighttime changes, and paranoid symptoms. The total score of HAMD was positively correlated with IL-18 (P < 0.05). IL-18 was positively correlated with HAMD factors such as depression, early insomnia with difficulty in falling asleep, somatic anxiety, general symptoms, paranoid symptoms, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and impaired ability (P < 0.05). TNF-α was also positively correlated with total score of HAMD and its factors such as depression, insomnia at the end of early sleep, work interest, mental anxiety, somatic anxiety, general symptoms and impaired ability (P < 0.05). Conclusion The serum levels of ACTH, CORT, IL-18 and TNF-α in patients with depression are higher. Direct detection of the above indicators has certain clinical application value in predicting the occurrence of depression.
