As a novel inflammatory index based on neutrophil, lymphocyte and platelet counts, the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has recently become a more powerful biomarker for predicting the occurrence and progression of various malignancies. SII reflects the systemic inflammatory response of prostate cancer patients in a more balanced manner, and has higher predictive value than neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR). High SII values are often associated with cancer progression and poor prognosis. This article reviews the research progress of SII in prostate cancer, in order to provide guidance for clinical practice.展开更多

A pro-inflammatory diet during pregnancy is associated with chronic maternal systemic inflammation. The objective of the study was to determine the diet inflammatory index and identify associated foods and nutrients in pregnant women of Ouidah city, Benin. Methods: The cross-sectional study conducted among pregnant women randomly selected by cluster sampling. Nutrient intakes and food consumed were estimated based on data of two 24-hour non-consecutive recalls. The inflammatory weightings of each nutrient were used to calculate the diet inflammatory index for each pregnant woman. Results: The average age of the 310 pregnant women surveyed was 27.20 ± 5.99 years. The median diet inflammatory index was -3.026 (-16.59;1.86). The pregnant women with inflammatory diet accounted for 11.30%. Vitamin A and zinc were negatively correlated with the diet inflammatory index. Fruits, roots, tubers and sweetened drinks consumed were positively correlated with the diet inflammatory index. On the contrary, the quantities of cereals, vegetables, legums and fish consumed were negatively correlated with the diet inflammatory index. Conclusion: More than one pregnant woman out of ten in the Ouidah city had a pro-inflammatory diet. Reducing maternal systemic low-grade chronic inflammation may include increasing the consumption of identified anti-inflammatory foods.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND The systemic inflammatory response index(SIRI)has been demonstrated to make a significant difference in assessing the prognosis of patients with different solid neoplasms.However,research is needed to ascertain the accuracy and reliability of applying the SIRI to patients who undergo robotic radical gastric cancer sur-gery.AIM To validate the applicability of the SIRI in assessing the survival of gastric cancer patients and evaluate the clinical contribution of preoperative SIRI levels to predicting long-term tumor outcomes in patients,who received robotic radical gastric cancer surgery.METHODS Initially,an exhaustive retrieval was performed in the PubMed,the Cochrane Library,EMBASE,Web of Science,and Scopus databases to identify relevant studies.Subsequently,a meta-analysis was executed on 6 cohort studies iden-tifying the value of the SIRI in assessing the survival of gastric cancer patients.Additionally,the clinical data of 161 patients undergoing robotic radical gastric cancer surgery were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate their clinicopathological characteristics and relevant laboratory indicators.The association between preoperative SIRI levels and 5-year overall survival(OS)and disease-free survival(DFS)was assessed.RESULTS The findings demonstrated an extensive connection between SIRI values and the outcome of patients with gastric cancer.Preoperative SIRI levels were identified as an independent hazard feature for both OS and DFS among those who received robotic surgery for gastric cancer.SIRI levels in gastric cancer patients were observed to be associated with the presence of comorbidities,T-stage,carcinoembryonic antigen levels,the development of early serious postoperative complications,and the rate of lymph node metastasis.CONCLUSION SIRI values are correlated with adverse in the gastric cancer population and have the potential to be utilized in predicting long-term oncological survival in patients who undergo robotic radical gastric cancer surgery.
文摘BACKGROUND The relationship between preoperative inflammation status and tumorigenesis as well as tumor progression is widely acknowledged.AIM To assess the prognostic significance of preoperative inflammatory biomarkers in patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma(dCCA)who underwent pancreat-oduodenectomy(PD).METHODS This single-center study included 216 patients with dCCA after PD between January 1,2011,and December 31,2022.The individuals were categorized into two sets based on their systemic inflammatory response index(SIRI)levels:A low SIRI group(SIRI<1.5,n=123)and a high SIRI group(SIRI≥1.5,n=93).Inflam-matory biomarkers were evaluated for predictive accuracy using receiver operating characteristic curves.Both univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards analyses were performed to estimate SIRI for overall survival(OS)and recurrence-free survival(RFS).RESULTS The study included a total of 216 patients,with 58.3%being male and a mean age of 65.6±9.6 years.123 patients were in the low SIRI group and 93 were in the high SIRI group after PD for dCCA.SIRI had an area under the curve value of 0.674 for diagnosing dCCA,showing better performance than other inflammatory biomarkers.Multivariate analysis indicated that having a SIRI greater than 1.5 independently increased the risk of dCCA following PD,leading to lower OS[hazard ratios(HR)=1.868,P=0.006]and RFS(HR=0.949,P<0.001).Additionally,survival analysis indicated a significantly better prognosis for patients in the low SIRI group(P<0.001).CONCLUSION It is determined that a high SIRI before surgery is a significant risk factor for dCCA after PD.
文摘Prostate cancer has gradually risen to become the second most common cancer threatening men’s health, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA), as the main screening indicator for prostate cancer, has the defects of low specificity and insufficient diagnostic efficacy. As a novel inflammatory index based on neutrophil, lymphocyte and platelet counts, the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has recently become a more powerful biomarker for predicting the occurrence and progression of various malignancies. SII reflects the systemic inflammatory response of prostate cancer patients in a more balanced manner, and has higher predictive value than neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR). High SII values are often associated with cancer progression and poor prognosis. This article reviews the research progress of SII in prostate cancer, in order to provide guidance for clinical practice.

Nutrient intakes and food consumed were estimated based on data of two 24-hour non-consecutive recalls. The inflammatory weightings of each nutrient were used to calculate the diet inflammatory index for each pregnant woman. Results: The average age of the 310 pregnant women surveyed was 27.20 ± 5.99 years. The median diet inflammatory index was -3.026 (-16.59;1.86). The pregnant women with inflammatory diet accounted for 11.30%. Vitamin A and zinc were negatively correlated with the diet inflammatory index. Fruits, roots, tubers and sweetened drinks consumed were positively correlated with the diet inflammatory index. On the contrary, the quantities of cereals, vegetables, legums and fish consumed were negatively correlated with the diet inflammatory index. Conclusion: More than one pregnant woman out of ten in the Ouidah city had a pro-inflammatory diet. Reducing maternal systemic low-grade chronic inflammation may include increasing the consumption of identified anti-inflammatory foods.

文摘Background:Histological healing is closely associated with improved long-term clinical outcomes and lowered relapses in patients with ulcerative colitis(UC).Here,we developed a novel diagnostic criterion for assessing histological healing in UC patients.Methods:We conducted a retrospective cohort study in UC patients,whose treatment was iteratively optimized to achieve mucosal healing at Shanghai Tenth People’s Hospital of Tongji University from January 2017 to May 2022.We identified an inflammatory cell enumeration index(ICEI)for assessing histological healing based on the proportions of eosinophils,CD177^(+)neutrophils,and CD40L^(+)T cells in the colonic lamina propria under high power field(HPF),and the outcomes(risks of symptomatic relapses)of achieving histological remission vs.persistent histological inflammation using Kaplan-Meier curves.Intrareader reliability and inter-reader reliability were evaluated by each reader.The relationships to the changes in the Nancy index and the Geboes score were also assessed for responsiveness.The ICEI was further validated in a new cohort of UC patients from other nine university hospitals.Results:We developed an ICEI for clinical diagnosis of histological healing,i.e.,Y=1.701X_(1)+0.758X_(2)+1.347X_(3)-7.745(X_(1),X_(2),and X_(3)represent the proportions of CD177^(+)neutrophils,eosinophils,and CD40L^(+)T cells,respectively,in the colonic lamina propria under HPF).The receiver operating characteristics curve(ROC)analysis revealed that Y<-0.391 was the cutoff value for the diagnosis of histological healing and that an area under the curve(AUC)was 0.942(95%confidence interval[CI]:0.905-0.979)with a sensitivity of 92.5%and a specificity of 83.6%(P<0.001).The intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC)for the intrareader reliability was 0.855(95%CI:0.781-0.909),and ICEI had good inter-reader reliability of 0.832(95%CI:0.748-0.894).During an 18-month follow-up,patients with histological healing had a substantially better outcome compared with those with unachieved histological healing(P<0.001)using ICEI.During a 12-month follow-up from other nine hospitals,patients with histological healing also had a lower risk of relapse than patients with unachieved histological healing.Conclusions:ICEI can be used to predict histological healing and identify patients with a risk of relapse 12 months and 18 months after clinical therapy.Therefore,ICEI provides a promising,simplified approach to monitor histological healing and to predict the prognosis of UC.Registration:Chinese Clinical Trial Registry,No.ChiCTR2300077792.

文摘Objective:To observe the relationship between the distribution of TCM Syndromes of primary Sjogren's syndrome(pSS)and the changes of erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),C-reactive protein(CRP),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6),immunoglobulin IgA,IgG and IgM.Methods:157 diagnosed PSS patients were divided into dampness heat obstructing collaterals syndrome,dryness evil invading lung syndrome,Qi blood stasis syndrome,liver kidney yin deficiency syndrome and Qi Yin deficiency syndrome according to TCM syndrome differentiation standard.The age,course of disease,general health score in international universal quality of life scale,self rating Anxiety scale(SAS),self rating Depression Scale(SDS)and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were observed and detected(ESR,C-reactive protein(CRP),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6),immunoglobulin IgA,IgG and IgM and other immune inflammatory indexes were detected.The relationship between different TCM Syndromes of PSS and molecular level changes of immune inflammatory indexes was analyzed and compared,as well as the impact on quality of life and mental emotion.Results:The overall health score of patients with Qi Yin deficiency syndrome was significantly lower than that of patients with dampness heat obstructing collaterals and dampness evil invading lung syndrome(P<0.01),while the SAS and SDS scores of patients with Qi Yin deficiency syndrome were significantly higher than those of patients with dampness heat invading lung syndrome and dampness heat obstructing collaterals syndrome(P<0.05,P<0.01);ESR,CRP,RF,TNF-α,IL-6,IgA,IgG and IgM related laboratory indexes of patients with dampness heat obstructing collaterals syndrome were significantly higher than those of patients with dry evil invading lung syndrome,liver kidney yin deficiency syndrome and liver kidney yin deficiency syndrome Qi Yin deficiency syndrome and Qi blood stasis syndrome(P<0.05,P<0.01).Correlation test found that the above five syndrome types were positively correlated with hs-CRP,IL-6,TNF-ɑindicators(P<0.05).Conclusion:The overall health,SAS,SDS and related hs-CRP,IL-6,TNF-ɑand some others indexes of SS patients are associated with TCM syndromes.
文摘Objective:To explore the effect of pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation on partial pressure of oxygen(PaO_(2)),partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaC O2),dynamic lung compliance(Cdyn),white blood cell(WBC),procalcitonin(PCT),C-reactive protein(CRP),and other indicators.Methods:A total of 100 healthy Wistar rats,aged 6-8 weeks and weighing 300-356 g,were used to establish gastric cancer models with 1-methyl-3-nitro-1-nitrosoguanidine(MNNG).60 gastric cancer rats were randomly divided into three groups and treated with laparoscopic radical gastrectomy after anesthesia.Rats in the VCV group were given volume control ventilation,rats in the PCV group were given pressure control ventilation,and rats in the PC-IRV group were given pressure control inverse ratio ventilation.The levels of WBC,PCT and CRP in the three groups were observed and compared on the 1st,3rd and 5th day after operation.Results:There were significant differences in PaO_(2)levels at 15 min after ventilation mode change and at the time of pneumoperitoneum closure,and in PaCO_(2)and Cdyn levels at 10 min after induction and at 15 min after ventilation mode change among the three groups(P<0.05).The PaO_(2)levels in PC-IRV group were higher than those in VCV group and PCV group at 15 min after the ventilation mode was changed and at the time of closing the pneumoperitoneum.The level of PaCO_(2)in PC-IRV group was lower than that in VCV group and PCV group 10 min after induction and 15 min after ventilation mode change,and the level of PaCO_(2)in PC-IRV group was lower than that in VCV group when pneumoperitoneum was turned off.The level of Cdyn in PC-IRV group was higher than that in VCV group and PCV group at 10 min after induction and 15 min after ventilation mode change.The level of Cdyn in PC-IRV group was higher than that in PCV group at the time of closing pneumoperitoneum.The Cdyn level in PCV group was lower than that in VCV group at 15 min after ventilation mode change.There were significant differences in WBC levels among the three groups on the 1st day after operation(P<0.05),and there were no significant differences in PCT and CRP levels among the three groups on the 1st day after operation(P>0.05).There were significant differences in WBC,PCT and CRP levels in the three groups of rats on the 3rd and 5th days after surgery(P<0.05).Except for PCT and CRP on the 1st day after operation,the WBC on the 1st,3rd and 5th days after operation,PCT and CRP on the 3rd and 5th days after operation in PCV group and PC-IRV group were lower than those in VCV group(P<0.05).Except for WBC,PCT and CRP on 1st day after operation,the levels of WBC,PCT and CRP on the 3rd and 5th days after operation in PC-IRV group were lower than those in PCV group(P<0.05).Conclusion:During laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer,pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation can help rats maintain good respiratory status and lung compliance during the operation,which can effectively alleviate the postoperative inflammatory response.
文摘As the fifth most common gastrointestinal cancer worldwide,hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)often presents at advanced stages of disease.For the subset of patients who present with tumor and liver-related features amenable to surgery,hepatic resection—in addition to transplantation—offers the best chance at curative-intent therapy.Resection can be associated,however,with risk of complications and perioperative death especially among individuals with concomitant portal hypertension,liver fibrosis,cirrhosis,and portal vein thrombosis(1-3).Post-resection liver failure is also a major concern and can be a devasting complication following hepatic resection(4,5).Overall survival following hepatic resection of HCC ranges from only 30–50%,and recurrence can be common depending on the stage of disease.In turn,there is considerable interest in identifying markers to help stratify patients relative to risk of recurrence and prognosis to define which groups of patients may benefit the most from hepatic resection of HCC(1-5).
