Circulating Blood miR-155 and miR-21 Promote the Development of Acute Pancreatitis and Can Be Used to Assess the Risk Stratification of Pancreatitis

To explore the role of circulating blood miR-155 and miR-21 in promoting acute pancreatitis (AP) and evaluating the risk stratification of pancreatitis. In this experiment, 70 patients with AP treated in our hospital from October 2019 to December 2020 were included in the research group (RG), and the blood of 52 healthy cases was collected and they were included in the control group (CG). The expression of miR-155 and miR-21 in circulating blood was observed in the two groups. The diagnostic efficacy of miR-155 and miR-21 in AP was observed. The risk factors of patients with AP were observed. The expression of serum gastrointestinal hormones was observed in the two groups. The GAS and VIP in RG were higher than those in CG, while MTL and CCK were lower than those in CG. Moreover, the detection level of mild, moderate, severe, and critical patients was also significantly different (P < 0.05). The expression of miR-155 and miR-21 in circulating blood of RG was significantly lower than that of CG (P < 0.05), and the area under the miR-155 curve was 0.775 and the area under the miR-21 curve was 0.832. Alcoholism, GAS, VIP, MTL, CCK, miR-155, and miR-21 were the risk factors of patients. miR-155 and miR-21 show low expression in the serum of patients. The lower the expression, the more serious the disease. They are closely related to the development of AP. miR-155 and miR-21 have good diagnostic efficacy by ROC analysis, and they are expected to become effective indicators for the diagnosis and treatment of AP in the future.
