Objective Through detecting the expression of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) in pancreas and lung of rats with severe acute panereatitis,to approach the role of TREM-1 in severe actute pancreatitis pathogenesis,and provid a new molecular target for SAP.Methods Thirty healthy male Wistar rat were randomly divided into two groups:control group(group A),n =15 ; severe acute pancreatitis group (group B),n =15.The model of severe acute pancreatitis of rats was induced by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic duct.Results TREM-1 in pancreatic tissues and lung tissues was significantly higher in group B than group A in three time points(6 h,12 h,24 h) and had significant changes(P < 0.05),and had a positive correlation with pancreatic pathology.Conclusion TREM-1 was significantly expressed in severe acute pancreatitis,and aggravated pancreas damage and systemic inflammatory response syndrome.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between serum soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (sRANKL), Omentin-1 levels and postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) .Methods:A total of 310 menopausal patients admitted to Qingdao Municipal Hospital from Jun. 2017 to Jul. 2021 were selected, including 165 patients with PMOP and 145 women with simple menopause as the control group. Serum sRANKL and Omentin-1 levels were detected by ELISA. Bone mineral density and bone metabolism indexes [N-terminal propeptide of typeⅠprecollagen (PINP), bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP), β isomer of the C-terminal telopeptide of type Ⅰ collagen (β-CTX) and osteocalcin (OC) ] were compared between the two groups. The correlation between serum sRANKL and Omentin-1 levels and bone mineral density and bone metabolism indexes in PMOP patients was analyzed by Pearson. The predictive value of sRANKL and Omentin-1 to PMOP was analyzed by ROC curve. Logistic regression analysis of the influence of multiple factors on PMOP.Results:Compared with the control group (15.62±4.41) (42.56±8.53), the serum sRANKL level (26.63±8.12) was increased and Omentin-1 level (32.32±5.52) was decreased in PMOP group ( t=14.55, P<0.001; t=12.69, P<0.001). The serum sRANKL in PMOP group was positively correlated with PINP, β-CTX and OC, while the serum Omentin-1 level was negatively correlated with the above indexes by Pearson analysis. ROC curve showed that serum sRANKL and Omentin-1 had important reference significance in predicting PMOP. Logistic regression suggested that increased sRANKL and decreased Omentin-1 were risk factors for PMOP. Conclusion:Serum sRANKL and Omentin-1 in patients with PMOP are correlated with bone mineral density and bone metabolism, and have potential as diagnostic targets of PMOP.
