Abstract:

Objective To explore the predictive value of serum soluble leukocyte differentiation antigen subtype 14 (sCD14 st) and pentamerin-3 (PTX-3) in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) complicated with peripancreatic necrosis infection. Methods A total of 112 SAP patients were selected and divided into the infection group (54 cases) and the non-infection group. Cultures of pathogenic bacteria were performed in patients of the infection group. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect serum levels of sCD14 st, PTX-3, procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP). Results A total of 61 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected in the infection group, including 45 strains of Gram-negative bacteria (73.77%), 14 strains of Gram-positive bacteria (22.95%) and 2 strains of fungi (3.28%). The serum levels of sCD14-ST, PTX-3, PCT and CRP were significantly higher in the infected group than those in the non-infected group (P<0.05). Serum sCD14-ST was positively correlated with PTX-3, PCT and CRP in SAP patients (P<0.05). Serum PTX-3 was positively correlated with sCD14-ST, PCT and CRP (P<0.05). The high levels of sCD14-ST, PTX-3, PCT and CRP were the risk factors of peripancreatic necrosis infection in SAP patients (P<0.05). The areas under the curve of sCD14-ST, PTX-3, PCT and CRP predicting peripancreatic necrosis infection in SAP patients were 0.854 (95%CI: 0.784-0.925), 0.851 (95%CI: 0.780-0.923), 0.837 (95%CI: 0.756-0.919) and 0.749 (95%CI: 0.654-0.844) respectively. Conclusion The serum levels of sCD14-ST and PTX-3 are abnormally elevated in SAP patients with peripancreatic necrosis infection, and their expression levels are closely related to the risk of infection. Both of them have high predictive value for SAP patients with peripancreatic necrosis infection.
