C-reactive protein (CRP) is a useful predictor of poor survival in patients with several types of cancer because inflammation is strongly associated with cancer progression. The production of CRP in hepatocytes appears to be primarily induced at the transcriptional level following the elevation of circulating interleukin-6 (IL-6), which is produced by various cell types, including cancer cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts. Serum CRP levels are associated with serum IL-6 levels in patients with soft tissue sarcoma (STS). Additionally, patients with elevated CRP levels had worse oncological outcomes than those with normal CRP levels. It has been attempted to combine CRP levels with other inflammatory or immune markers, and the utility of this has been demonstrated. Therefore, a novel treatment strategy should be developed for patients with STS with elevated CRP levels. The present review aimed to clarify the role of CRP levels and related tools in predicting clinical outcomes in patients with STS.

To evaluate the clinical utility of PCT, CRP, IL-6, NLR, and TyG index in improving the early diagnosis and severity assessment of acute pancreatitis (AP). This retrospective study included 137 AP patients and 30 healthy controls from Hunan Provincial People's Hospital (January 2021-September 2023). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses assessed the associations between biomarkers and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).

Background: White matter damage is closely associated with cognitive and psychiatric symptoms and is prevalent in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD); although the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in CSVD remain elusive, inflammation plays a crucial role. We sought to investigate the relationship between systemic inflammation markers and imaging markers of CVSD, namely white matter hyperintensity (WMH) and microstructural injury.
Methods: We conducted a study involving both cross-sectional and longitudinal data from the UK Biobank Cohort.
Blood circulating LncRNAs: SNHG5 and ZFAS1 as biomarkers reflecting cachexia incidence in chronic heart failure patients.

Background: Systemic inflammation plays a crucial role in the development and progression of chronic heart failure (CHF) across all phenotypes. The continuous release of pro-inflammatory cytokines causes muscle atrophy and adipocyte breakdown, ultimately resulting in cachexia. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as potential biomarkers associated with cachexia, as they indirectly regulate muscle and fat tissue metabolism.
