Article Abstract
The role of inflammation-related markers in patients with elderly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is not well known. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the prognostic value of various inflammation-related markers in elderly HCC patients after radical resection.350 elderly HCC patients after radical resection were included. Survival rate and prognostic analysis were using Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analysis. The prognostic value of inflammation-related markers was compared by C-index and time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Propensity score matching (PSM) was used for patient selection to minimize bias. The C-index and time-dependent AUC showed that PNI was higher than the other inflammation-related markers. After PSM, the 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year overall survival rates in the low prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and high PNI groups were 83.3%, 69.5%, 51.5%, and 95.0%, 87.8%, 71.3% (p = 0.047), respectively. The 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year recurrence-free survival rates in the two groups were 63.3%, 47.8%, 24.5%, and 86.7%, 76.3%, 57.1% (p < 0.001), respectively. Multivariate Cox regression revealed that PNI was the independent risk factor associated with death (p = 0.016, HR = 0.552) and tumor recurrence (p = 0.001, HR = 0.432). PNI was a better inflammation-based prognostic marker in elderly HCC patients after radical resection. This simple marker could help physicians determine elder HCC patients at high risk of tumor recurrence for frequent clinical surveillance.

Objective: Sepsis is a common and life-threatening syndrome in intensive care units, frequently accompanied by myocardial dysfunction, which significantly worsens patient outcomes. S100A12, a calcium-binding protein associated with inflammation, is upregulated in various inflammatory conditions. However, its role in sepsis and related cardiac injury remains unclear.

Ensitrelvir, an oral severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) 3CL protease inhibitor, is reportedly effective in suppressing smell disorder onset, a post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) condition symptom. However, the pathogenesis of post-COVID-19 condition symptoms and the mechanism underlying the onset-suppressive effect of ensitrelvir are not fully understood. Here, we explored a post-COVID-19 condition model in hamsters 1 month post-SARS-CoV-2 infection and showed that ensitrelvir treatment caused early recovery of body weight, viral RNA suppression, and sense of smell improvement.

This study aims to explore the effects and action mechanisms of the active ingredients in Buyang Huanwu Decoction(BYHWD), namely tetramethylpyrazine(TMP) and hydroxy-safflor yellow A(HSYA), on oxygen-glucose deprivation/reglucose-reoxygenation(OGD/R)-induced inflammation and oxidative stress of microglia(MG). Network pharmacology was used to screen the effective monomer ingredients of BYHWD and determine the safe concentration range for each component. Inflammation and oxidative stress models were established to further screen the best ingredient combination and optimal concentration ratio with the most effective anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Background: This study aimed to determine the prognostic significance of inflammation markers for patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and sought to analyze the reasons behind it and its value for clinical guidance.
Methods: This study enrolled 624 patients with OSCC who were surgically treated in our hospital. Clinical baseline data and peripheral blood routine/biochemical parameters were collected within 1 week before surgery.
