A Circulating cf-DNA and Cit H3-DNA complexes in abdominal sepsis patients (n = 5) and healthy controls (n = 5) were analyzed by ELISA. B Serum I-FABP and D-lactate were analyzed by ELISA. C Correlation between circulating NETs biomarkers (cf-DNA and Cit H3-DNA complex) and circulating intestinal injury biomarkers (I-FABP and D-lactate). NETs neutrophil extracellular traps, cf-DNA cell-free DNA, Cit H3 citrullinated histone 3, ELISA enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, I-FABP intestinal fatty-acid binding protein. Data are expressed as the means ± SD. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
