Objective:To investigate the relationship between serum angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1) in patients with severe acute pancreatitis and its clinical significance. Methods:A total of 109 patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) diagnosed in our hospital were selected as the research subjects, 56 cases of healthy physical examination as control group at the same time. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of Ang-2 and sFlt-1 in venous blood of subjects. The predictive value of ROC curve analysis in SAP diagnosis was analyzed by ROC curve. Results:Compared with the control group, the serum Ang-2 and sFlt-1 protein levels in AP patients increased significantly (P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of serum Ang-2 and sFlt-1 levels in diagnosing AP was 0.735 and 0.681 respectively. The level of serum Ang-2 was related to the CT classification, APACHE Ⅱ score and the proportion of acute lung injury in AP patients (P<0.05). The level of serum sFlt-1 was related to the CT classification, APACHE Ⅱ score, hydrothorax and the proportion of acute lung injury in patients with AP (P<0.05). Compared with group MAP, serum Ang-2 and sFlt-1 protein levels in group SAP were significantly higher than those in group Ang-2 (P<0.05).The AUC of serum Ang-2 and sFlt-1 for SAP patients was 0.783 and 0.751 respectively. There was a positive correlation between serum Ang-2 and sFlt-1 expression in SAP patients (r=0.611, P<0.05). Conclusion:Serum Ang-2 and sFlt-1 levels in patients with SAP have increased significantly. The detection of serum Ang-2 and sFlt-1 levels in AP patients has certain application value in the diagnosis of SAP disease. |
