AI Article Synopsis
- The study presents three cases linked to serious diseases: leptospirosis, tropical malaria, and fulminant meningococcaemia, all showing high levels of heparin-binding protein (HBP) and unstable blood pressure.
- Observations of HBP levels over the first three days in survivors indicated a connection between these levels and improved health outcomes.
- The findings suggest that monitoring HBP could be valuable in assessing and managing these conditions.
Article Abstract
We report 3 cases of disease - leptospirosis, tropical malaria and fulminant meningococcaemia - associated with high serum concentrations of heparin-binding protein (HBP) and haemodynamic instability. Furthermore, HBP kinetics were observed for the first 3 days in survivors and were correlated with improvement in clinical condition.

Introduction: Heparin-binding protein is an inflammatory factor with predictive value for sepsis and participates in the inflammatory response through antibacterial effects, chemotaxis, and increased vascular permeability. The role of heparin-binding protein in sepsis has been progressively demonstrated, but few studies have been conducted in the context of polytrauma combined with bacterial infections. This study aims to investigate the predictive value of heparin-binding protein for bacterial infections in patients with severe polytrauma.

Sepsis is a clinical syndrome resulting from the interaction between coagulation, inflammation, immunity and other systems. Coagulation activation is an initial factor for sepsis to develop into multiple organ dysfunction. Therefore, anticoagulant therapy may be beneficial for sepsis patients.

Background: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic value of heparin-binding protein (HBP) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for patients with intracranial infections.
Methods: This study included 211 subjects, of whom 138 were diagnosed with intracranial infections, 20 were patients with non-infectious inflammatory encephalopathies, and 53 controls who were eventually excluded from intracranial infections and inflammatory encephalopathies. The levels of HBP and procalcitonin (PCT) in CSF were detected in the subjects, and the diagnostic value of CSF HBP and PCT for intracranial infections was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.

Objectives: To analyze the association of serum heparin-binding protein (HBP) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels with urosepsis following flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy (FURL) and to construct a back propagation neural network prediction model.
Methods: A total of 428 patients with kidney stones who underwent FURL were enrolled. Patients were divided into sepsis group (=42) and control group (=386) according to whether post-operative urosepsis developed.

Department of Critical Care Medicine, Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.
Background: The accurate and sensitive diagnosis of intracranial infection continues to pose a critical challenge. This study aimed to probe into the clinical value of heparin binding protein (HBP) in bacterial intracranial infection.
Methods: Patients suspected of having bacterial intracranial infection and admitted to Shanghai General Hospital from November 2021 to November 2023 were selected as study subjects and divided into an infected group and a non-infected group.
