Background: Lymphocyte percentage/count, platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) have shown prognostic significance in patients with cancer, stroke, and following cardiac surgery. However, the utility of these blood parameters for assessing the 30-day postoperative risk for lumbar fusion complications has not been established.
Methods: In this single-center-single-surgeon retrospective series, 77 consecutive patients underwent one- or two-level lumbar fusion. Lymphocyte percentage/count, PLR, and NLR were investigated as predictors of 30-day postoperative complications.
Results: Ten of 77 patients had postoperative complications. A unit increase in NLR and lymphocyte percentage was significantly associated with a 23% increase and 7% decrease, respectively, in the odds of a complication occurring. Preoperative NLR ≥ 2.32 and lymphocyte percentage ≤ 29.5% significantly discriminated between the "complication" and "no-complication" groups.
Conclusion: Patients with a preoperative lymphocyte percentage of ≤29.5% and/or NLR ≥2.32 should be closely monitored as high-risk groups susceptible to 30-day postoperative complications after lumbar fusion.

Objective: Endometrial cancer (EC) shows substantial heterogeneity in their immune microenvironment. BHLHE22 is consistently hypermethylated in EC and high expression of BHLHE22 is likely to be immunosuppressive in the tumor microenvironment. Herein, we evaluated expression of BHLHE22, programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1), CD8, CD68 and mismatch repair proteins in EC.

This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing the complication of allergic rhinitis in children with bronchial asthma and to construct a nomogram model to predict the occurrence of allergic rhinitis. A total of 190 children with bronchial asthma admitted to our hospital from August 2020 to August 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The children were randomly divided into the training cohort (133 cases) and validation cohort (57 cases) in a ratio of 7:3.

Objectives: Previous studies suggest peripheral blood immune cells associate with the progression and prognosis of lung cancer. The main purpose of this study was to explore the association of peripheral immune cell and its dynamics with the growth of pulmonary nodules.
Materials And Method: Of 9280 subjects whom had blood cell counts and chest CT scan in health check-up, 1068 participants were enrolled with the incidental pulmonary nodules of above 5mm in diameter and subsequently followed up for 2 years.
