Abstract:
Objective To explore the value of serum level of interleukin 6 (IL-6),tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and high mobility group box-1 protein( HMGB1) in early assessment the severity and prognosis of acute pancreatitis (AP). Methods Thirty-three severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) patients and 38 mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) patients were selected as study objects;and 51healthy individuals were set as control group. Serum IL-6,TNF-α and HMGB1 concentrations were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),the association of them and the scores of Ranson,APACHE Ⅱ . Balthazar CT,serum biochemical parameters and prognosis was analyzed.Results The serum IL-6 levels of SAP group,MAP group and healthy control group were (553. 72±175.76) pg/ml,(265. 73±179. 95) pg/ml and (16. 43±3. 32) pg/ml;and there were statistical significance of these three groups (all P＜0. 01). There was no significant difference of TNF-α in the three groups (all P＞0. 05). The serum HMGB1 levels of SAP group,MAP group and healthy control group were (11. 48±6. 94)μg/L,(6. 13±5. 80)μg/L and (1. 82±0. 64)μg/L respectively,and there were statistical significant of these three groups (all P＜0. 05). The correlation coefficient of serum HMGB1 with IL-6 and TNF-α were 0. 896 and 0. 724 (P＜0. 01) respectively. The IL-6 level was positively correlated with the scores of Ranson,APACHE Ⅱ and Balthazar CT. The TNF-αconcentration was positively correlated with APACHE Ⅱ score,and the HMGB1 concentration positively correlated with scores of Ranson and Balthazar CT. The levels of IL-6,TNF-α and HMGB1were all positively correlated with the serum creatinine concentration. The IL-6 levels of patients with local and/or systemic complications were significantly higher than those without complications.Conclusion The serum levels of IL-6,TNF-α and HMGB1 are significantly correlated with the severity of pancreatitis,all of them take part in the development of acute renal insufficiency. The high level of serum IL-6 significantly correlated with complications.
