Platelet mass index, systemic immune-inflammation index, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio as practical markers in childhood brucellosis.
Rev Paul Pediatr
January 2025
Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Child Health and Diseases, Afyonkarahisar, Turkey.
Objective: Brucellosis is a multisystem infectious disease and may cause an increase in acute phase reactants. This study aimed to examine the platelet mass index (PMI), the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in children with brucellosis and to determine their roles in focal involvement.
Methods: This retrospective observational study included 69 patients with brucellosis and a control group of 69 healthy children.
Aim: This study aims to investigate the clinical utility of the derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR) and the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) in predicting treatment outcomes for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing combination therapy with atezolizumab and bevacizumab (Atez/Bev).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 310 patients. The dNLR, NLR, and GNRI were calculated, and their impact on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was assessed.
Asperulosidic acid inhibits the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway to suppress endotoxin-induced uveitis.

Department of Ophthalmology, Chongqing Key Laboratory for the Prevention and Treatment of Major Blinding Eye Diseases, The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, China.
Introduction: Uveitis, a severe inflammatory disease affecting the uvea, is associated with visual impairment and irreversible blindness. Asperulosidic Acid (ASPA), derived from , is known for its notable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant characteristics.
Methods: The present study explored the potential anti-inflammatory effects and the fundamental processes of ASPA by injecting it or a placebo into the vitreous of rats with endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU).
[Incidence and risk factors of anemia among newly reported HIV/AIDS patients in Jiangsu Province in 2021].

School of Public Health, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, Jiangsu 210000, China.
Objective: To investigate the incidence of anemia and evaluate the immune status among newly reported HIV/AIDS patients in Jiangsu Province in 2021, and to identify the risk factors of anemia among patients living with HIV infections.
Methods: Newly reported HIV/AIDS patients in Jiangsu Province from January 1 to December 31, 2021 that were registered in China's National AIDS Comprehensive Control Information Management System were enrolled. Subjects' fresh whole blood samples were collected, and hemoglobin levels, CD4 and CD8 cell counts and HIV viral loads were measured.
Immune response accelerated telomere shortening during early life stage of a passerine bird, the blue tit ().
Biol Lett

Cluster of Biomolecular Science, Division of Toxicology, Wageningen University and Research, 6708 WE Wageningen, The Netherlands.
Dealing with infections is a daily challenge for wild animals. Empirical data show an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production during immune response. This could have consequences on telomere length, the end parts of linear chromosomes, commonly used as proxy for good health and ageing.
