Respective values of sTREM-1 were 53.31 ± 32.93, 735.10 ± 197.17 （P = 0.008 vs controls） and 435.82 ± 279.71 ng/L （P = 0.049 vs controls）, sTREM-1 was positively correlated with Crohn＇s disease activity index and clinical and endoscopic activity indexes of ulcerative colitis （P = 0.002, 0.001 and 0.009, respectively）, sTREM-1 of patients with ulcerative colitis was positively correlated with TNFα （P = 0.001）.CONCLUSION： sTREM-1 seems to behave as a novel mediator in IBD in correlation with the degree of the intlammatory reaction of the intestinal mucosa.展开更多
