Background: Monocyte Chemotactic Protein 1 (MCP1) and latest sepsis-3 criteria are poorly represented within studies evaluating biomarkers in sepsis. Therefore, this study evaluates the prognostic value of MCP-1 compared to interleukin-6 (IL-6) in patients with sepsis and septic shock according to sepsis-3 criteria.
Methods: 136 patients with sepsis or septic shock were included within 24h of intensive care unit (ICU) admission. MCP-1, IL-6, procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cells (WBC) were measured on days 1, 3 and 8. All-cause mortality was followed up at 30days and 6months.
Results: Both MCP-1 and IL-6 levels revealed valuable prognostic discrimination of 30-day and 6-months all-cause mortality on day 1 and 3 (MCP-1: range of AUCs 0.62-0.65, p<0.039; IL-6: range of AUCs 0.65-0.70, p<0.021) compared to PCT, CRP, SOFA and APACHE II score. MCP-1 levels within the 4th quartile revealed the highest mortality at 30days and 6months compared to patients with lower levels (range of hazard ratio (HR)=2.1-3.3, p<0.041). The prognostic value of MCP-1 sustained in multivariate regression models and was comparable to that of IL-6.
Conclusion: Both MCP-1 and IL-6 revealed prognostic value for short- and mid-term all-cause mortality in patients with sepsis and septic shock according to latest sepsis-3 definitions.

Objective: To investigate the association between preoperative aqueous humour (AqH) cytokines and mid-term endothelial cell density (ECD) following penetrating keratoplasty (PKP).
Methods: This study analysed a total of 87 eyes of which 54 underwent PKP and 33 eyes underwent cataract surgery. AqH samples were collected at the beginning of surgery.

This study evaluates the effects of liraglutide on albuminuria, oxidative stress, and inflammation in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with different urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) categories. We enrolled 107 patients with T2D who were initiating liraglutide for glycemic control. Patients were categorized into 3 groups: group I (UACR < 30 mg/g); group II (30 mg/g ≤ UACR ≤ 300 mg/g); group III (UACR > 300 mg/g).

SRY-Box Transcription Factor-11 (SOX11) is a transcriptional regulatory factor that plays a crucial role in inflammatory responses. However, its involvement in atherosclerosis (AS), a cardiovascular disease driven by endothelial cell inflammation, remains unknown. This study aims to elucidate the role of SOX11 in AS.

Bone marrow stromal antigen 2 (BST2) is a host-restriction factor that plays multiple roles in the antiviral defense of innate immune responses, including the inhibition of viral particle release from virus-infected cells. BST2 may also be involved in the endothelial adhesion and migration of monocytes, but its importance in the immune system is still unclear. Immune cell adhesion and migration are closely related to the initiation of immune responses.
