Background And Aim: There are no gold standard markers to estimate the risk of developing periprosthetic infections. Our aim is to compare the risks of periprosthetic infection in patients with THA and THA and to investigate the predictive significance of the CRP / albumin ratio.
Methods: This is a retrospective study containing data from 241 osteoarthritis patients and 19 patients with periprosthetic infections who underwent TKA and THA in our hospital from January 2014 to January 2019.12 risk factors(CRP/ albumin, albumin, CRP, age, gender, BMI, DM, ASA, nasal culture, urine culture, hospital stay, operation time) were analyzed.
Results: In the binary logistic regression model and multivariate regression analysis, the rate of CRP / albumin was 17.161 times higher than the patients with ≤0.16 cut-off value. (CRP / albumin ratio (odds ratio (OR) = 17.16, 95% CI: 1.55-189.03, P: 0.02). High BMI increased the risk of periprosthetic infection 1.3 times. Nasal bacterial colonization (OR = 0.99, 95% CI: 0.868-1.38, P: 0.7) and bacterium in urine (OR = 0.502, 95% CI: 0.07-3.598, P: 0.703) did not pose a significant risk for periprosthetic infection.
Conclusion: According to our findings, the CRP / albumin ratio has a more prognostic capacity than other risks in determining the risk of periprosthetic infection for total joint arthroplasty. CRP / albumin ratio is a cheap and easy to apply marker. Routine urine and nasal bacteria screening is not required before total joint arthroplasty.

Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of the most commonly monitored inflammatory markers in patients with COVID-19 to gain insight into the inflammation level in the body and to adopt effective disease management and therapeutic strategies. COVID-19 is now less prevalent, and the study of CRP as a biomarker of inflammation still needs deeper understanding, particularly in understanding its role among patients with comorbidities, which are known to influence inflammatory responses and increase the risk of severe outcomes during acute and chronic infectious diseases. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of major comorbidities such as ischemic heart diseases, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, and lung infections e.

Consensus remains elusive regarding the relationship between C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and endometrial cancer (EC). Our study sought to elucidate the causal association between CRP and EC, aiming to contribute to the understanding of this complex interplay. We primarily utilized the random-effects inverse variance-weighted method.

The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical characteristics of Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infection in children and provide a basis for the diagnosis and treatment of MP and refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) in children. A total of 112 children with MPP admitted to Luoyang Maternal and Child Health Hospital between January 31, 2023 and December 31, 2023 were studied, and their clinical characteristics were retrospectively analyzed, including children's general data, clinical symptoms, imaging changes, bronchoscopy, and laboratory data, including inflammatory factors such as C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin-6 (IL-6), bacterial culture results of bronchoalveolar lavage or sputum, and results of MP culture and detection of MP drug resistance gene loci 23sRNA A2063G and A2064G. Among the 112 children with MPP included in the analysis, 48 were males (42.

Curcumin is known for its potential health benefits; however, the evidence remains inconclusive regarding its necessity as a supplement for athletes during the preparatory phase of training. This study aimed to assess the effect of 6-week curcumin supplementation at a dose of 2g/day on selected inflammatory markers, blood count, and brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) levels in middle-aged amateur long-distance runners during the preparatory period of a macrocycle. Thirty runners were randomly assigned to either a curcumin-supplemented group (CUR, n = 15) or a placebo group (PLA, n = 15).

Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with CBD stones and underwent ERCP from December 2021 to December 2023 were selected as the study subjects. According to whether postoperative complications occurred, they were divided into complication group (n = 28) and non-complication group (n = 132).
