Abstract:【Objective】To investigate the levels of serum pentamerin 3 (PTX3) and heparin binding protein (HBP) in patients with chronic liver failure (CLF) complicated with bacterial infection and their clinical value in predicting prognosis. 【Methods】A total of 138 patients with CLF admitted to Department of General Surgery,Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Medical College from March 2018 to March 2020 were selected and divided into observation group (with bacterial infection,n=58) and control group (without bacterial infection,n=80) according to whether they were complicated with bacterial infection. The levels of serum PTX3 and HBP were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),and the relationship between the expression levels of serum PTX3 and HBP and clinicopathological features was analyzed. The levels of serum PTX3 and HBP in patients with different prognosis were compared; ROC curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of serum PTX3 and HBP levels in patients with poor prognosis. 【Results】The levels of serum PTX3 and HBP in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in age,sex and diabetes among patients with different serum PTX3 and HBP levels (P>0.05);There were significant differences in clinical stages,MELD scores and compl ications (P<0.05). The levels of serum PTX3 and HBP in the death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group (P<0.05). The area under curve (AUC) of serum PTX3 in predicting poor prognosis was 0.876,the sensitivity was 92.1%,and the specificity was 80.0%; The AUC of serum HBP in predicting poor prognosis was 0.893,the sensitivity was 71.1%,and the specificity was 95.0%; The AUC predicted by the two methods was 0.959,the sensitivity was 84.2%,and the specificity was 95.0%. 【Conclusion】 Serum PTX3 and HBP are highly expressed in patients with CLF complicated with bacterial infection. The high expression of PTX3 and HBP is related to the poor prognosis of patients. It is a potential biological index to diagnose the prognosis of patients.
