Abstract: Objective To explore the relationship between gut mucosal barrier dysfunction and immune response in patients with early severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Method 46 patients with early SAP were enrolled into this study from January 2010 to December 2012.Results The levels of endotoxin,the lactulose/mannitol (L/M) ratio,the D (-)-lactate concentration,and the proportion of HLA-DR-positive monocytes all decreased from a high level,while the frequency of Tregs increased during the first 14 days.The Th1/Th2 ratio decreased,with a decreased Th1 and an increased Th2 profile in the first week,but it subsequently increased,with an increased Th1 profile.Conclusions The data from this study showed that immunosuppression and immune imbalance happened in patients with early SAP,and showed a positive relationship with gut mucosal barrier dysfunction in patients with early SAP.Thus,early protection of the function of intestinal mucosal barrier is important in the treatment of SAP.
