Background: Inflammation has a significant status in both the pathogenesis and complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim of this study is to compare the C-reactive protein (CRP) to albumin ratio (CAR) values in controlled DM, uncontrolled DM, prediabetes groups grouped by HbA1c as well as in a group of healthy individuals.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 6,993 DM patients, 770 prediabetes patients, and 1,340 healthy individuals were included. According to their HbA1c levels, DM patients were divided into two groups as controlled DM (HbAlc < 6.5%, n = 4,115) and uncontrolled DM (HbAlc ≥ 6.5%, n = 2,878).
Results: The CRP and CAR levels were significantly higher in the DM and prediabetes group than in the control group (p < 0.05, for both). Albumin levels were significantly lower in the DM group than in both the prediabetes and control groups (p < 0.05, for both). In the uncontrolled DM group, CRP and CAR values were found to be significantly higher than the control and controlled DM groups, while albumin values were significantly lower than the control group, prediabetes group, and controlled DM group (p < 0.05, for all).
Conclusions: It is thought that CAR, a liver related inflammatory marker, can be applied as an inflammation marker in both prediabetes, determined by HbA1c, and patients diagnosed with DM. Further prospective studies will better demonstrate the utility of CAR values as an inflammatory marker in DM and prediabetes.

Analysis of imaging risk factors for prognosis in children with spinal cord injury without radiologic abnormalities.

This study aimed to identify imaging risk factors for spinal cord injury without radiologic abnormalities (SCIWORA) in children. We retrospectively analyzed the medical records and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of children with SCIWORA admitted to our hospital between January 1, 2012, and September 30, 2022. Univariate and binary logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the prognostic impact of various factors including MRI type, maximum cross-sectional area of spinal cord injury, injury length, injury signal intensity ratio.

This study aimed to generate Car- and Pac-resistant cell lines from the human lung adenocarcinoma H1792 cell line, designated as H1792/Car and H1792/Pac, and perform transcriptome sequencing to identify potential targets. Common differentially expressed genes (Co-DEGs) in both resistant cell lines were identified, followed by hub gene identification. Online validation was conducted through GEPIA and Kaplan-Meier Plotter platforms, with experimental validation performed using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR).

Objective: In this study, the aim was to evaluate the diagnostic effectiveness of more easily applicable and cost-effective serum biomarkers, such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-tolymphocyte ratio (PLR), C-reactive protein (CRP) to albumin ratio (CAR), and CRP-to-lymphocyte ratio (CLR), instead of the endoscopic activity index (EAI) used to determine disease activation in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients.
Methods: Blood tests performed during the same period as colonoscopy were reviewed, and NLR, PLR, CAR, and CLR values were calculated. Based on the EAI score, patients with a score <4 were classified as having UC in remission, those with a score ≥4 as having active UC, and those with normal colonoscopy results as the control group.

Purpose: There is controversy about the effect of mercury (Hg) exposure on developing diabetes and insulin resistance. This study aimed to assess the risk of diabetes and insulin resistance in car painters using biochemical markers and serum Hg levels.
Methods: A retrospective case-control study involving 210 male participants aged between 25 and 50 years.

Background: The aim of this study is to explore the value of different systemic inflammatory response indicators in the long-term prognosis of type B aortic dissection (TBAD) patients undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).
Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed the case data of 540 patients with TBAD at our center from January 2013 to January 2019. Based on the occurrence of aorta-related adverse events (ARAEs) during follow-up, patients were divided into two groups: the ARAEs group and the non-ARAEs group.
