Aim: The current study investigated the plasma levels of angiopoietin-1/-2 and their association with clinical outcomes of sepsis. Methods: Angiopoietin-1 and -2 levels were quantified in plasma from 105 patients with severe sepsis by ELISA. Results: Angiopoietin-2 levels elevated according to the severity of sepsis progression. Angiopoietin-2 levels were correlated with mean arterial pressure and platelets counts, total bilirubin, creatinine, procalcitonin, lactate levels and SOFA score. Angiopoietin-2 levels accurately discriminated for sepsis with an AUC = 0.97 and septic shock from severe sepsis patients (AUC = 0.778). Conclusion: Plasma angiopoietin-2 levels may serve as an additional biomarker for severe sepsis and septic shock.

many research questions, such as MV maintenance, including incremental update and maintaining strategies, using MV to answer queries and optimization in different fields, in traditional ones such as data warehouse, data streaming, web and semantic web, distributed system and concern future 1. Introduction Materialized views (MV) are special tables where the query execution results are stored, which can be used to answer other queries that appear later. MV is critical and raises
