Front Cardiovasc Med 2024; 11:1439913. [PMID: 39188319 PMCID: PMC11345626 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2024.1439913] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the common chronic diseases in clinical practice, often accompanied by inflammatory reactions. In recent years, the system inflammation response index (SIRI) has aroused researchers' interest as a novel inflammatory biomarker. This study aims to explore the relationship between the SIRI and CHD through the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study and analyzed participants aged 40 and above with complete data from the NHANES survey years 2007-2016. Logistic regression analysis was used in this study to explore the relationship between the risk of CHD and SIRI. Stratified subgroup analysis was conducted based on age, gender, race, education level, body mass index (BMI), smoking status, drinking, hypertension, diabetes and angina pectoris to evaluate the relationship between SIRI and CHD in different populations. Additionally, restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis was employed to investigate whether there is a nonlinear association between SIRI and CHD. Results A total of 6374 eligible participants were included, among whom 387 were diagnosed with CHD. The SIRI levels in the CHD group were significantly higher than those in the non-CHD group. After adjusting for potential confounders, an elevated SIRI level was associated with an increased risk of CHD, with an odds ratio of 1.12, 95% CI: (1.03, 1.22), P = 0.008. Subgroup analysis results indicated a significant interaction between SIRI and CHD among genders (P for interaction <0.05), especially in females. In contrast, no significant interaction was observed among age, race, education level, BMI, smoking status, drinking, hypertension, diabetes and angina pectoris (P for interaction >0.05). The RCS analysis showed a significant linear relationship between SIRI and CHD (P for non-linearity >0.05), with an inflection point at 2.86. Conclusion Our study indicates that an elevated system inflammation response index is associated with a higher risk of CHD. Particularly among women.

[PMID: 38982402 PMCID: PMC11232124 DOI: 10.1186/s12902-024-01637-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/11/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a prevalent chronic disease often accompanied by low-grade inflammation. Recently, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has garnered researchers' interest as an emerging inflammation biomarker. This study aimed to comprehensively explore the relationship between NLR and T2DM using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. METHOD We employed a cross-sectional study design to analyze data from five NHANES cycles from 2007 to 2016, excluding individuals with incomplete data. This study utilized a weighted logistic regression model, subgroup analyses, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis to assess the potential relationship between NLR and T2DM. RESULTS A total of 9903 participants were eligible for the analysis, of which 1280 were diagnosed with T2DM. The T2DM group exhibited significantly higher NLR levels than the non-T2DM group. After adjusting for potential confounders, elevated NLR levels were associated with an increased risk of developing T2DM, indicated by an odds ratio (OR) of 1.14, 95% CI: (1.05,1.24), P = 0.003. The results of the subgroup analyses revealed a significant interaction effect between NLR and T2DM concerning race and hypertension (P for interaction < 0.05). In contrast, no significant interactions were found for age, sex, education level, body mass index (BMI), smoking status, recreational activities, and alcohol drinker (P for interaction > 0.05). RCS analysis showed a significant non-linear relationship between NLR and T2DM, with an inflection point at 2.27 (all P for non-linearity < 0.05). CONCLUSION Our study indicates that an elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is associated with a higher risk of T2DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) poses a major public health challenge, particularly in children. A substantial proportion of children with TB disease remain undetected and unconfirmed. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a highly sensitive point-of-care test. This study aims to assess the performance of serological assays based on various antigen targets and antibody properties in distinguishing children (0-18 years) with TB disease (1) from healthy TB-exposed children, (2) children with non-TB lower respiratory tract infections, and (3) from children with TB infection. METHODS The study will use biobanked plasma samples collected from three prospective multicentric diagnostic observational studies: the Childhood TB in Switzerland (CITRUS) study, the Pediatric TB Research Network in Spain (pTBred), and the Procalcitonin guidance to reduce antibiotic treatment of lower respiratory tract infections in children and adolescents (ProPAED) study. Included are children diagnosed with TB disease or infection, healthy TB-exposed children, and sick children with non-TB lower respiratory tract infection. Serological multiplex assays will be performed to identify M. tuberculosis antigen-specific antibody features, including isotypes, subclasses, Fc receptor (FcR) binding, and IgG glycosylation. DISCUSSION The findings from this study will help to design serological assays for diagnosing TB disease in children. Importantly, those assays could easily be developed as low-cost point-of-care tests, thereby offering a potential solution for resource-constrained settings.

Abstract
Background We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis, based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, to evaluate current literature on diagnostic value of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in discrimination between tuberculosis (TB) and bacterial community acquired pneumonia (B-CAP). Methods Literature search was conducted from July 20, 2023 using Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science databases. STATA software (version 12.0; Stata Corporation) was used for all analyses. Results We found that patients with TB had significantly lower levels of NLR compared to those with B-CAP (SMD = -1.09, 95 %CI = -1.78- -0.40, P = 0.002). In the quality subgroup analysis, we found that patients with TB had significantly lower level of NLR compared to those with B-CAP consistent in moderate (SMD = -0.86, 95 %CI = -2.30, 0.57, P = 0.23) and high-quality studies (SMD = -1.25, 95 %CI = -2.07, -0.42). In the subgroup analysis based on continent, we found that patients with TB had significantly lower level of NLR compared to those with B-CAP in studies performed in Asian populations (SMD = -1.37, 95 %CI = -2.13, -0.61, P < 0.001), but not on African population (SMD = -0.02, 95 %CI = -1.06, 1.02, P = 0.97). The result of this study did not change after execution of sensitivity analysis. The pooled sensitivity of NLR was 0.86 (95% CI = 0.80, 0.91), and the pooled specificity was0.88 (95% CI = 0.69, 0.95). Conclusion Patients with TB had a significantly lower NLR levels compared to those with B-CAP, so we utilized this biomarker for distinguishing between the disorders.

Abstract
AIM Higher number of monocytes and neutrophils may correlate with active tuberculosis (TB) in children. However, the few paediatric studies available are limited by the small numbers of children with TB disease or infection included. METHODS We calculated the monocyte-to-lymphocyte-ratio (MLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte-ratio (NLR) and neutrophil-to-monocyte-plus-lymphocyte-ratio (NMLR) in children with active TB, latent TB infection (LTBI), other infectious and non-infectious conditions and healthy children evaluated in two referral centres in Rome. RESULTS Overall, 649 children were included (41.8% females, mean age of 5.74 years). MLR, NLR and NMLR values were always significantly higher in patients with TB compared with the other groups (p < 0.001). Considering the entire population with the outcome of TB diagnosis, NMLR, with a cut-off of 1.2, had a sensitivity of 63% and a specificity of 76% (AUC: 0.71 [0.64-0.78]); NLR, with a cut-off of 1.5, had a sensitivity of 61% and a specificity of 79% (AUC: 0.72 [0.65-0.79]); MLR, considering a cut-off of 0.2, was less sensitive (56%) but more specific (82%) with a similar AUC (0.72 [0.65-0.79]). CONCLUSION Our study provides further evidence that MLR, NLR and NMLR can serve as first level diagnostics to support the clinical suspicion of TB in children.

Abstract
Since the incidence of gouty arthritis (GA) exhibits yearly increases, accurate assessment and early treatment have significant values for improving disease conditions and monitoring prognosis. Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a common indicator in blood routine, which has the characteristics of easy access and low cost. In recent years, NLR has been proven to be an effective indicator for guiding the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of various diseases. Moreover, NLR has varying degrees of relationship with various inflammatory biomarkers, which can affect and reflect the inflammatory response in the body. This paper reviews the independent value of NLR for GA and its underlying molecular pathological mechanisms, intending to contribute to the further application of NLR.
