Background And Purpose: In-stent restenosis (ISR) is unfavorable to the long-term efficacy of carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS). Inflammation plays a critical role in the development of ISR. The aim of the study was to investigate whether neutrophil to albumin ratio (NAR) is a predictor of ISR in patients undergoing CAS.

Methods: We retrospectively recruited patients who underwent CAS. These patients were divided into restenosis group and nonrestenosis group. NAR was examined prior to the CAS procedure. Clinical and radiographic assessments were performed at 6 months and annually after the procedure. ISR was defined as greater than or equal to 50% stenosis in the treated lesion. Cox regression was used to identify predictors of ISR following CAS.

Results: During a mean follow-up period of 14.6 months, a total of 459 treated arteries (in 427 participants) were enrolled, among which 72 (15.7%) developed ISR. On multivariate analysis, baseline NAR greater than or equal to13.4, residual stenosis, lesion length, and baseline glucose level were associated with ISR (hazard ratio 1.94[95% confidence interval (CI), 1.08-3.49], 1.09[95% CI, 1.07-1.12], 1.04[95% CI, 1.01-1.06], and 1.01[95% CI, 1.00-1.02], respectively).

Conclusion: Elevated preprocedural NAR may be a predictor of ISR in patients undergoing CAS.

Oxidative stress and inflammatory dysregulation play crucial roles in pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI), and their cyclic synergy drives excessive inflammatory responses and further exacerbates ALI. Therefore, new effective strategies to treat ALI are urgently needed. Herein, a novel synergistic selenium based chlorogenic acid nanoparticle was developed to disrupt the cyclic synergistic effect between oxidative stress and inflammatory response in ALI.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive performance of inflammatory and nutritional indices for adverse cardiovascular events (ACE) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using a machine learning (ML) algorithm.

Methods: AMI patients who underwent PCI were recruited and randomly divided into non/ACE groups. Inflammatory and nutritional indices were graded according to the laboratory examination reports.
