Objectives: Inflammation plays an important role in the development of depression after stroke. Monocyte-to-HDL Cholesterol Ratio (MHR) recently emerged as a novel comprehensive inflammatory indicator in recent years. This study aimed to investigate whether there is a relationship between MHR levels and post-stroke depression (PSD).

Methods: From February 2019 to September 2021, patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) were recruited within 7 days post-stroke from the two centers and blood samples were collected after admission. The 17-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17) was used to measure depressive symptoms at 3 months after stroke. Patients were given the DSM-V criteria for diagnosis of PSD.

Results: Of the 411 enrolled patients, 92 (22.38%) patients were diagnosed with PSD at 3-months follow-up. The results also showed significantly higher level of MHR in patients with depression [0.81 (IQR 0.67-0.87) vs. 0.61 (IQR 0.44-0.82), < 0.001] at admission than patients without depression. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that MHR (OR 6.568, 95% CI: 2.123-14.565, = 0.015) was an independent risk factor for the depression at 3 months after stroke. After adjustment for potential confounding factors, the odds ratio of PSD was 5.018 (95% CI: 1.694-14.867, = 0.004) for the highest tertile of MHR compared with the lowest tertile. Based on the ROC curve, the optimal cut-off value of MHR as an indicator for prediction of PSD was projected to be 0.55, which yielded a sensitivity of 87% and a specificity of 68.3%, with the area under the curve at 0.660 (95% CI: 0.683-0.781; = 0.003).

Conclusion: Elevated level of MHR was associated with PSD at 3 months, suggesting that MHR might be a useful Inflammatory markers to predict depression after stroke.

Background: This study utilized large-scale population data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to elucidate the relationship between the Klotho protein and metabolic syndrome along with its components. We further investigated the possible mediating effect of inflammation on these relationships. Our objective was to identify biomarkers for risk stratification and potential therapeutic targets for metabolic syndrome.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates inflammation's role in Parkinson's disease (PD) and Parkinson plus syndrome (PPS), focusing on early-stage patients' immune responses.
  • It evaluates various peripheral inflammatory markers using blood test data from 139 PD patients, 87 PPS patients, and 139 healthy controls, excluding factors that could skew inflammation results.
  • Findings show significantly higher monocyte to HDL-C (MHR) and neutrophil to HDL-C (NHR) ratios in PD and PPS patients compared to healthy controls, indicating possible inflammation-related differences in these conditions.

Objective: This study aimed to assess vitamin D deficiency in a cohort of healthy young adults using the novel inflammatory parameters neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio (MHR), and uric acid-to-HDL cholesterol ratio (UHR).

Subjects And Methods: The study included 1,190 participants, with demographic and laboratory data retrieved retrospectively from our institution's database. The inclusion criteria were ages 22-35 years; absence of acute, subacute, or chronic diseases; no regular medication use; and laboratory values within specified reference ranges.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess High-density Lipoprotein (HDL)-based Inflammatory Indices and lipid profile changes in antipsychotic-naive first-episode schizophrenia (AN-FES) patients, chronic schizophrenia (CS) patients, and explore the clinical and predictive value of these parameters for schizophrenia.

Patients And Methods: The study cohort included 52 AN-FES patients, 46 CS patients, and 52 healthy controls (HCs), with an average age of 24 years. Upon admission, patients underwent complete blood count and lipid profile analyses.
