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.

To evaluate the clinical utility of PCT, CRP, IL-6, NLR, and TyG index in improving the early diagnosis and severity assessment of acute pancreatitis (AP). This retrospective study included 137 AP patients and 30 healthy controls from Hunan Provincial People's Hospital (January 2021-September 2023). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses assessed the associations between biomarkers and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).

This study aimed to investigate whether lymphocyte-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR) upon admission can predict disease progression and intensive care unit (ICU) admission in adult patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). A single-center retrospective study was conducted, including adult DKA patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University between March 2018 and March 2023. Multiple demographic and clinical data were collected from the medical records upon admission and during hospitalization.

Neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) is a novel inflammatory biomarker and correlated with the progression and clinical outcomes of many diseases. This investigation aimed to clarified the association between NPAR and mortality risk among hypertension patients. The database of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey provided the patient data for hypertension.
