Abstract:Objective To investigate the value of diamine oxidase (DAO), d-lactic acid (D-LC) and bacterial endotoxin (BT) in diagnosis and assessment of acute intestinal obstruction (AIO).Methods Totally 69 patients diagnosed with AIO between January 2018 and March 2019 in our hospital were choosed as objects of study (group AIO). 20 patients with healthy condition from same period were control group. Based on intraoperative findings and disease severity, group AIO were divided into mild injuries group (40) and severe injuries (29) group. Venous blood from each group and detected the level of serous DAO, D-LC, and BT in 2 hours before operation and 1 day, 3 days, 7 days after operation were collected. The level of serous DAO, D-LC, and BT in each group were compared.Results The level of DAO, D-LC, and BT in peripheral blood of group AIO were significantly higher than those in control group (P < 0.05) in 2 hours before operation and day 1, day 3 after operation. Day 7 after operation, group AIO and control group demonstrated same level. At different time point, the serum level of DAO, D-LC, and BT showed much difference in group AIO (P < 0.05). Compared with mild injuries group, severe injuries group showed the higher level of DAO, D-LC, and BT in 2 hours pre-operation and in day 1, day 3, day 7 post-operation with statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). At different time point, the serum level of DAO, D-LC, and BT showed much difference in severe injuries group and mild injuries group (P < 0.05). Severe injuries group also demonstrated the higher rate of DAO, D-LC, and BT decline in serum than mild injuries group at different time point (all P < 0.05).Conclusion The level of DAO, D-LC, and BT in AIO patients changed dynamically. Monitoring serums DAO, D-LC and BT had certain clinical significance in diagnosis and assessment of AIO..
