Background And Aims: Recently, various hemocyte and blood cell ratios have garnered researchers' attention, as a low-cost, widely prevalent, and easy-to-measure index for diagnosing and predicting disease. Therefore, we sought to investigate the effect and predictive value of the peripheral blood neutrophil percentage and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the acute phase of ischemic stroke (AIS) in post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI).
Methods: We selected 454 patients with mild AIS and acquired general clinical data. The patients were divided into PSCI and post-stroke no cognitive impairment (PSNCI) groups according to their Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) scores. We assessed whether there were differences in clinical data, peripheral blood neutrophil percentage, and NLR values between the different groups. We also analyzed the independent influences on the occurrence of PSCI using a binary logistic regression. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to analyze the predictive value of the above inflammatory indicators and models containing different inflammatory indicators for PSCI.
Results: In total, 454 patients were included, of whom 253 (55.7%) patients were in the PSCI group, with a mean age of 62.15 ± 7.34 years and median neutrophil percentage and NLR of 0.64 (0.32-0.95) and 2.39 (0.71-54.46), respectively. Both neutrophil percentage (adjusted OR = 1.025; 95% confidence interval: 1.005-1.406) and NLR as a categorical variable (Q5, adjusted OR = 2.167; 95% CI: 1.127-4.166) were independent risk factors for PSCI, and the Q5 group (NLR ≥ 4.05) had significantly worse overall cognition and executive function.
Conclusions: Neutrophil percentage and NLR in the acute phase of AIS were independently associated with PSCI, and a high NLR was strongly associated with executive function. In addition, neutrophil percentage and NLR have diagnostic values for PSCI.

Background: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays a central role in sepsis-induced cytokine storm involving immune hyperactivation and early neutrophil activation. Programmed death protein-1 (PD-1) is associated with sepsis-induced immunosuppression and lymphocyte apoptosis. However, the effects of simultaneous blockade of IL-6 and PD-1 in a murine sepsis model are not well understood.

Dengue virus (DENV) poses a considerable threat to public health on a global scale, since about two-thirds of the world's population is currently at risk of contracting this arbovirus. Being transmitted by mosquitoes, this virus is associated with a range of illnesses and a small percentage of infected individuals might suffer from severe vascular leakage. This leakage leads to hypovolemic shock syndrome, generally known as dengue shock syndrome, organ failure, and bleeding complications.

Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease and myocardial infarction. Precise and effective plaque targeting is a major objective for therapeutic outcomes throughout various stages of atherosclerosis. Inspired by the natural recruitment of neutrophils in atherosclerotic plaques, we fabricated a simvastatin (ST)-loaded and neutrophil membrane-cloaked nanoplatform (NNP) for enhancing localized payload delivery and atherosclerosis management.

Background: Dupilumab is a safe and effective treatment for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD), but real-world data in pediatric patients in China are limited. Currently, there is no exploration of changes in blood cell counts derived indexes in pediatric patients, especially under 6 years old.
Purpose: To investigate the changes in blood cell counts derived indexes before and after dupilumab treatment in Chinese children with AD, the relationship with clinical scores, and the potential role of these indexes on treatment efficacy.

Background: Heat stroke (HS), a potentially fatal heat-related illness, is often accompanied by disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) early, resulting in a poorer prognosis. Unfortunately, diagnosis by current DIC scores is often too late to identify DIC. This study aims to investigate the predictors and predictive model of DIC in HS to identify DIC early.
