Objective To investigate the predictive value of serum procalcitonin(PCT),interleukin-6(IL-6),C-reactive protein/albumin(CRP/ALB)and microRNA-335-5p(miR-335-5p)for bowel obstruction after colorectal cancer(CRC)surgery.Methods A total of 100 CRC patients admitted to the hospital and under-went surgical treatment from July 2022 to July 2023 were selected to observe whether intestinal obstruction occurred in patients 1 week after surgery,and they were divided into the intestinal obstruction group(13 ca-ses)and the non-intestinal obstruction group(87 cases)according to the occurrence of intestinal obstruction.The clinical data and serum PCT,IL-6,CRP/ALB,miR-335-5p levels of the two groups were compared,and Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for the occurrence of intestinal obstruc-tion after CRC surgery.The predictive value of serum PCT,IL-6,CRP/ALB,miR-335-5p for the occurrence of intestinal obstruction after CRC surgery was analyzed.Results Postoperative serum PCT,IL-6,CRP/ALB and miR-335-5p levels were higher than the preoperative levels in CRC patients(P＜0.05).Among 100 pa-tients for CRC surgery,a total of 13(13.00％)d eveloped intestinal obstruction within 2 weeks after surgery.The proportions of rectal tumor and clinical stage Ⅲ、miR-335-5p were higher in the intestinal obstruction group than those in the non-intestinal obstruction group,and the proportion of laparoscopic surgery was lower than that in the non-intestinal obstruction group(P＜0.05).Serum PCT,IL-6,and CRP/ALB levels were higher in the intestinal obstruction group than those in the non-intestinal obstruction group,miR-335-5p level was lower than that in the non-intestinal obstruction group(P＜0.05).Serum PCT,IL-6 and CRP/ALB were independent risk factors for the occurrence of intestinal obstruction after CRC surgery(P＜0.05),and miR-335-5p was a protective factor(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of serum PCT,IL-6,CRP/ALB,miR-335-5p and the combined detection for predicting the occurrence of intestinal obstruction after CRC sur-gery was 0.818,0.805,0.862,0.938,and 0.980,and AUC of the combined detection was higher than that of single detection(ZPCT-combined detection-2.193,ZIL-6 combined detection-2.210,Z CRP/ALB combined detection=2.188,ZmiR-335-5p combined detection=2.437,P＜0.05).Conclusion Postoperative serum PCT,IL-6,CRP/ALB and miR-335-5p of CRC patients have a certain predictive value for the occurrence of intestinal obstruction in patients,and the combined detection could largely improve the accuracy of predicting the occurrence of postoperative intes-tinal obstruction.
