简介:AbstractBackground:Previous studies have shown that inflammation plays an important role in intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS). The platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) has recently emerged as a potential inflammatory biomarker. This study aimed to explore the association of the PLR with ICAS in a Chinese Han population.Methods:A total of 2134 participants (518 with ICAS, 1616 without ICAS) were enrolled in this study. ICAS was defined as atherosclerotic stenosis >50% or the occlusion of several main intracranial arteries. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to assess the association of the PLR with ICAS. Additional subgroup analyses were performed according to age (<60 vs. ≥ 60 years) and acute ischemic stroke.Results:Multivariate regression analysis showed that a high PLR was associated with a higher risk of ICAS in all participants (P < 0.001). Compared with the lowest quartile, the fourth PLR quartile was significantly associated with ICAS (OR 1.705, 95% confidence interval 1.278–2.275, P < 0.001). In the subgroups stratified by age, an association between the PLR and ICAS was found in the late-life group (P < 0.001), but not in the mid-life group (P = 0.650). In the subgroups stratified by acute ischemic stroke, the relationship between an elevated PLR and a higher risk of ICAS remained unchanged (stroke group, P < 0.001; non-stroke group, P = 0.027).Conclusions:An elevated PLR was associated with a higher risk of ICAS in a Chinese Han population. The PLR might serve as a potential biomarker for ICAS in the elderly population.

简介:AbstractBackground:The platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) has recently emerged as a potential inflammatory biomarker and has been shown to be significantly associated with atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD). Therefore, we aimed to explore the association of PLR with in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and the severity of CAD assessed by the Gensini score (GS) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing coronary angiography.Methods:A total of 502 patients with AMI consecutively treated at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University (Qingdao, China) and underwent coronary angiography from August 2017 to December 2018 were recruited in this study. The demographic, clinical, angiographic characteristics, and laboratory parameters were collected. According to the presence of in-hospital MACEs, the included patients were divided into the MACE group (n = 81) and the non-MACE group (n = 421). Further, according to tertiles of the GS, the patients were classified into three groups: the low GS group (GS ≤32 points, n = 173), medium GS group (32 points < GS ≤ 60 points, n = 169), and high GS group (60 points < GS ≤ 180 points, n = 160). The main statistical methods included Chisquared test, non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, logistic regression, and receiver operating characteristic curves.Results:The PLR in the MACE group was significantly higher than that in the non-MACE group (179.43 [132.84, 239.74] vs. 116.11 [87.98, 145.45], Z = -8.109, P < 0.001). Further, there were significant differences in PLR among the tertiles of GS (110.05[84.57, 139.06] vs. 119.78 [98.44, 157.98] vs. 140.00 [102.27, 191.83], H= 19.524, P < 0.001). PLR was demonstrated to be an independent risk factor of in-hospital MACEs (odds ratio [OR]: 1.012, 95% confidential interval [CI]: 1.006-1.018, P < 0.001) and severe CAD assessed by the GS (OR: 1.004, 95% CI: 1.002-1.009, P= 0.042). The cutoff value of PLR for predicting the development of in-hospital MACEs was 151.28 with a sensitivity of 66.7% and a specificity of 78.1% (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.786, 95% CI: 0.730-0.842, P < 0.001), and a PLR of 139.31 was also identified to be an effective cutoff point for detecting a high GS (<60 points) with a sensitivity of 49.4% and a specificity of 69.6% (AUC: 0.611, 95% CI: 0.556-0.666, P < 0.001).Conclusions:PLR as a novel inflammatory marker is significantly and independently associated with the occurrence of in-hospital MACEs and the severity of CAD assessed by the GS in patients with AMI. As an easily available and inexpensive inflammatory indicator, PLR could be widely used as an efficient inflammatory biomarker for identifying high-risk patients and for individualizing targeted therapy to improve the prognosis of AMI.
简介:AbstractOur study aimed to determine the effect of the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio on the prognosis of adult patients with acute stroke. We searched the Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases and selected all of the potentially eligible studies. From the included studies, we extracted characteristics such as the stroke type and acquisition time until routine blood collection and the odds ratios across studies. The 95% confidence intervals and odds ratios were pooled to calculate the effect size for the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio in acute stroke patients. We defined poor function outcomes according to the modified Rankin Scale ≥ 3 or Glasgow Outcome Scale< 3.Thirteen studies with 4443 patients were included in our analysis, including 7 ischemic and 6 hemorrhagic stroke studies. The pooled odds ratios for poor functional outcome at 3 months with a higher neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio in acute ischemic and hemorrhagic patients were 1.689 (95% CI = 1.184-2.409, p < 0.001) and 1.125 (95% CI = 1.022-1.239, p < 0.001), respectively, and the overall pooled odds ratio for poor functional outcome following stroke was 1.257 (95% CI = 1.146-1.379, p < 0.001). At the same time, the overall combined odds ratio for death at 3 months was 1.632 (95% CI = 1.155-2.306, p < 0.001).The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, an easily calculated marker, plays a predictive role in the short-term outcomes of adult patients (mean age ≥ 50 years) following acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.
简介:AbstractBackground:Although a variety of risk factors of pneumonia after clipping or coiling of the aneurysm (post-operative pneumonia [POP]) in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) have been studied, the predictive model of POP after aSAH has still not been well established. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of using admission neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) to predict the occurrence of POP in aSAH patients.Methods:We evaluated 711 aSAH patients who were enrolled in a prospective observational study and collected admission blood cell counts data. We analyzed available demographics and baseline variables for these patients and analyzed the correlation of these factors with POP using Cox regression. After screening out the prognosis-related factors, the predictive value of these factors for POP was further assessed.Results:POP occurred in 219 patients (30.4%) in this cohort. Patients with POP had significantly higher NLR than those without (14.11 ± 8.90 vs. 8.80 ± 5.82, P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that NLR remained a significant factor independently associated with POP following aSAH after adjusting for possible confounding factors, including the age, World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grade, endovascular treatment, and ventilator use. And the predictive value of NLR was significantly increased after WFNS grade was combined with NLR (NLR vs. WFNS grade × NLR, P = 0.011).Conclusions:Regardless of good or poor WNFS grade, patients having NLR >10 had significantly worse POP survival rate than patients having NLR ≤10. NLR at admission might be helpful as a predictor of POP in aSAH patients.

简介:AbstractObjective:Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) releases growth factors upon activation, which in turn accelerates healing and regeneration of the target tissue. However, PRP composition may vary according to the patient’s demographics, and wider applications of PRP warrant product standardization. The current study aimed to examine variables influencing the platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) concentration in PRP.Methods:This observational study was conducted in the Department of Pathology and Dentistry at Swami Rama Himalayan University, a tertiary care hospital in northern India from December 2016 to November 2017. PRP was prepared from 40 mL of whole blood from 35 individuals (22 women, 13 men). Platelet counts, platelet indices (platelet distribution width, mean platelet volume) and PDGF-BB levels were measured, and platelet yield, platelet dose, and growth factor dose in PRP were also calculated. All parameters were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. The association between PDGF-BB and PRP platelet count was evaluated using logistic regression. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Swami Rama Himalayan University (SRHU/HIMS/ETHICS/2016/103) on September 7, 2016.Results:The mean platelet count, PDGF-BB concentration, platelet yield, platelet dose, and growth factor dose in PRP were 1317×109/L, 30±9.89ng/mL, 71.62±28.34%, 6.5±3.5×109, and 159.62±52.39ng/mL, respectively. Linear regression analysis indicated that PRP platelet counts were a good predictor for PGDF-BB (P<0.05; adjusted R2=0.96. PRP platelet count was significantly positively correlated with PDGF-BB concentration (r=0.74, P<0.001), platelet yield (r=0.80, P<0.001), platelet dose (r=1, P<0.001), and growth factor dose (r=0.74, P<0.001).Conclusions:PRP has wide clinical applications associated with its healing and regenerative properties, and both the quality and quantity of PRP thus need to be standardized as per the requirements. Evaluating variables affecting PRP will thus aid pathologists and clinical practitioners.

简介:AbstractPlatelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a second-generation platelet concentrate obtained from autologous blood. PRF is composed of abundant platelets, leucocytes, and a high concentration of various growth factors and fibrinogen. The composition and three-dimensional structure of PRF enable it to effectively make cells migrate and proliferate, playing an important role in tissue repair. Furthermore, the easy preparation and low cost of PRF make it a good treatment option. Numerous articles have been published about the application of PRF in clinical practice, however, the application of PRF in dermatology has not been comprehensively reviewed. The objective of this review article was to discuss various applications of PRF in dermatology, including healing chronic wounds, treating androgenic alopecia, skin rejuvenation, autologous fat transplantation, and treating vitiligo. PRF is a promising dermatologic treatment, but lacks a standardized protocol regarding its methods of attainment and use, which needs more investigations.
