Article Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between whole blood cell-derived inflammatory markers and clinical symptoms in patients with late-life depression (LLD). It also aimed to explore the predictive value of whole blood cell-derived inflammatory markers on the efficacy of short-term medication.
Methods: Eighty-three patients with LLD were included, and their baseline demographics, routine blood test results and clinical characteristics before and after 2 weeks of treatment were collected. Whole-blood cell-derived inflammatory markers at pre-treatment were calculated. Additionally, correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between inflammatory makers and clinical characteristics. Multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing short-term outcomes in patients. The predictive value of whole blood cell-derived inflammatory markers for short-term outcomes was evaluated by plotting receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Results: In this study, baseline PLR showed a positive correlation with the patients' HAMA scores at baseline. Furthermore, the levels of NLR, MLR, and NPR at baseline were negatively correlated with the patients' percentage reduction in HAMD score after 2 weeks of treatment. Regression analysis showed that baseline NPR was an independent risk factor affecting the efficacy of short-term pharmacological treatment. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of baseline NPR for predicting the outcome of short-term treatment was 0.713.
Conclusion: There is a correlation between baseline whole blood cell-derived inflammatory markers and anxiety symptoms and short-term antidepressant efficacy in patients with LLD. Pre-treatment NPR levels may be an independent risk factor influencing the short-term treatment outcome in patients with LLD, and it may have a potential predictive value for short-term treatment efficacy.

Pancreatic cancer is a highly aggressive malignancy with a dismal prognosis, characterized by a complex tumor microenvironment that promotes immunosuppression and limits the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is overexpressed in the tumor stroma and represents a promising target for therapeutic intervention. Here, we developed a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting FAP, and investigated its anti-tumor activity and ability to enhance ICB efficacy in pancreatic cancer.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is characterized by the excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which triggers a severe inflammatory cascade and the destruction of the alveolar-capillary barrier, leading to respiratory failure and life-threatening outcomes. Considering the limitations and adverse effects associated with current therapeutic interventions, developing effective and safe strategies that target the complex pathophysiological mechanisms of ALI is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Herein, we developed an inhalable, multifunctional nanotherapeutic (MSCNVs@CAT) by encapsulating catalase (CAT) in mesenchymal-stem-cell-derived nanovesicles (MSCNVs).

Background: Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease delineated by excessive lymphocyte infiltration to the lacrimal or salivary glands, leading to dry eye and dry mouth. Exosomes secreted from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are known to have anti-inflammatory and tissue regeneration abilities. This study endeavored to demonstrate the effect of MSC-derived exosomes on the clinical parameter of dry eyes and associated pathology in SS mouse model.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a multiorgan disease caused by mutations in the gene, leading to chronic pulmonary infections and hyperinflammation. Among pathogens colonizing the CF lung, is predominant, infecting over 50% of adults with CF, and becoming antibiotic-resistant over time. Current therapies for CF, while providing tremendous benefits, fail to eliminate persistent bacterial infections, chronic inflammation, and irreversible lung damage, necessitating novel therapeutic strategies.

Background: Inflammation plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of limb injury caused by snakebite. Investigating its regulatory mechanisms and intervention strategies may help identify effective treatments. Recent studies have shown that pyroptosis exacerbates organ damage by amplifying inflammatory responses.
