- Sepsis is a severe condition that leads to organ dysfunction, and intestinal barrier injury is a significant effect of it, with IL-9 and IL-9-producing CD4(+) T cells playing a potential role.
- The study measured IL-9 levels in septic patients and rats, finding that higher IL-9 levels correlated with worse outcomes and increased mortality.
- The results suggest that targeting IL-9 could improve intestinal barrier injury and survival rates in sepsis patients.
Objective: To investigate the association of plasma heparin-binding protein (HBP) with the development of acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) in critically ill patients.
Design: Clinical retrospective cross-sectional study.
Setting: A general teaching hospital in China.
