Changes of serum LXA4, Card9 and PTX-3 in patients with severe acute pancreatitis and their predictive value for complicated MODS

Objective: To investigate the changes of serum lipoxin A4 (LXA4), caspase recruitment domain containing protein 9 (Card9), and pentraxin 3 (PTX-3) in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and their predictive value of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).
