The significance of serum HMGB1 level in humans with acute paraquat poisoning.


ABSTRACT: High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) mediates acute lung injury in a mouse model of paraquat poisoning. However, published reports showing a clinically relevant association between HMGB1 and paraquat exposure are lacking. The objective of the present study was to investigate the potential role of serum HMGB1 level as a prognostic marker of mortality in patients with paraquat poisoning in a clinical setting. This retrospective observational cohort study included a convenience sample of 92 patients with acute paraquat poisoning admitted to the emergency room (ER) of The First Hospital of Jilin University between January 2014 and December 2016. Baseline serum HMGB1 levels and other laboratory parameters were measured on admission. Cumulative incidence of mortality during the first 30 days after admission was 50% (n?=?46/92). Serum HMGB1 levels were higher in fatalities than survivors (P?=?0.015), 30-day mortality increased with increasing baseline serum HMGB1 level (P?
