Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas that can be complicated by intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction (SAP&IBD). The current study sought to examine the diagnostic efficacy of miR-1-3p and T-synthase mRNA in SAP&IBD patients. First, SAP patients were assigned to SAP&IBD and SAP groups. Serum miR-1-3p expression and T-synthase mRNA expression patterns in peripheral blood B lymphocytes were measured using RT-qPCR. Pearson tests, ROC curve analysis, and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the correlation between miR-1-3p/T-synthase mRNA and clinical data, their diagnostic efficiency, and independent risk factors for SAP&IBD patients, respectively. The results showed that serum miR-1-3p in the SAP&IBD group was elevated, and T-synthase mRNA expression in peripheral blood B lymphocytes was diminished. Additionally, serum miR-1-3p expression in SAP&IBD patients was negatively correlated with T-synthase mRNA expression, and positively correlated with their Ranson score, CRP, IL-6, DAO, and D-Lactate levels. Meanwhile, T-synthase mRNA level was negatively correlated with IL-6, DAO, and D-Lactate levels. Both, serum miR-1-3p, T-synthase mRNA, and their combination were found to exhibit diagnostic efficiency for SAP&IBD patients, and were independently associated with IBD in SAP patients. Collectively, our findings suggest that miR-1-3p and T-synthase serve as independent risk factors for SAP&IBD patients and can aid the diagnosis of IBD in SAP patients.
