Background: The clinical significance of immuno-inflammatory indicators and the underlying biological basis in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who receive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) combined with immunotherapy remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of immuno-inflammatory biomarkers, develop a prognostic model, and explore the underlying mechanisms.
Methods: This study included 212 ESCC patients who received CRT and anti-PD-1 immunotherapy.

The two-way communication between intestinal microbiota and the central nervous system (the microbiota-gut-brain axis) is involved in the regulation of brain function, neurodevelopment, and aging. The microbiota-gut-brain axis dysfunction may be a predisposition factor for Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and other neurological diseases. However, it is not clear whether gut microbiota dysfunction contributes to neuropsychiatric disorders.

Adrenic acid is a 22‑carbon unsaturated fatty acid that is widely present in the adrenal gland, liver, brain, kidney and vascular system that plays a regulatory role in various pathophysiological processes, such as inflammatory reactions, lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, vascular function, and cell death. Adrenic acid is a potential biomarker for various ailments, including metabolic, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases and cancer. In addition, adrenic acid is influenced by the pharmacological properties of several natural products, such as astragaloside IV, evodiamine, quercetin, kaempferol, Berberine‑baicalin and prebiotics, so it is a promising new target for clinical treatment and drug development.
