Abstract
BACKGROUND The main objective of this study was to predict the status of blood and the occurrence of lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after total knee arthroplasty(TKA) by means of mean platelet volume (MPV) combined with thromboelastography (TEG). METHODS We collected 180 patients who underwent unilateral total knee arthroplasty between May 2015 and March 2022, and the patients were divided into DVT group and control group according to whole-leg ultrasonography on the seventh postoperative day. Blood count and TEG were performed on the day before surgery, the first day after surgery and the seventh day respectively. Multifactorial analysis was used to investigate whether the relevant parameters were independent predictors of DVT after TKA. RESULTS MPV has the strongest correlation with the maximum amplitude (MA), followed by alpha-angle; MPV and alpha-angle on the first postoperative day are independent predictors of DVT. MPV in patients with thrombosis tends to rise and then fall in the perioperative period. The optimal threshold for MPV to predict thrombosis is 10.85 fL and the area under the ROC curve is 0.694, The area under the ROC curve increases to 0.815 using MPV combined with alpha-angle. In addition, MA, α-angle, composite coagulation index (CI) and MPV were all statistically higher in the DVT group than in the control group (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION MPV is a predictor of DVT after TKA. It can reflect the hypercoagulable state of blood after surgery; Combination of MPV and alpha-angle on the first day after surgery in patients with TKA improves predictive power of DVT.

Abstract
Background: In clinical practice, distinguishing disease activity in patients with rheumatological illnesses is challenging. Objectives: We aimed to investigate clinical associations of hemogram-derived indices, namely: red cell distribution width (RDW), mean platelet volume (MPV), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) with disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods: In 250 patients with rheumatological disease and 100 healthy age-matched controls, we investigated disease activity scores and indicators and evaluated their association with hemogram-derived indices values. Results: Compared with the control group, RDW, MPV, and PLR significantly increased (P < .001) in the three studied disorders (RA, SLE, and AS), but LMR dramatically decreased. SII was considerably higher in RA and AS patients compared with controls but not in SLE patients. On the other hand, NLR rose dramatically in SLE patients compared with controls (P = .043), but did not change much in RA and AS patients (P > .05). RDW and MPV showed significant changes (P < .001) in the three studied diseases (RA, SLE, and AS) according to disease activity. They significantly increased across worsening activity scores. Only in the SLE group, PLR was significantly increased with disease activity (P < .001), while LMR showed a significant decrease (P = .016). Conclusions: Clinicians must pay close attention to complete blood count (CBC) analysis and its various derived ratios to better characterize the activity of rheumatological disorders and anticipate the disease course and prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The results of previous studies regarding the relationship between red cell distribution width (RDW) or mean platelet volume (MPV) levels and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are inconsistent. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to systematically evaluate the associations. METHODS The Web of Science, PubMed, and Cochrane Library (as of February 14, 2019) were used to retrieve relevant articles. Pooled standard mean difference (SMD) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. All statistical analyses were performed using the "meta" and "metafor" packages of the R 3.5.1 software. RESULTS Nine studies on RDW, including 775 AS patients and 972 healthy controls, and 8 studies on MPV, including 743 AS patients and 571 healthy controls, were included. The results showed that RDW levels were significantly higher in AS patients (SMD = 0.67; 95% CI, 0.30 to 1.05; p < 0.001) compared with healthy controls, whereas MPV levels (SMD = 0.01; 95% CI, -0.28 to 0.30; p = 0.929) were not significantly different from healthy controls. CONCLUSIONS Our current study shows that the elevated levels of RDW may be associated with AS, whereas MPV levels may be not associated with AS.

Abstract
Background The systemic immune‐inflammation index (SII) is a recently developed indicator for systemic inflammatory response. We aimed to explore the association between SII and disease activity in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods This retrospective study included 136 patients with AS and 63 healthy controls. Patients were divided into two groups according to Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI); active group (n = 60) and remission group (n = 76). Clinical, laboratory, and demographic characteristics were recorded. Spearman's correlation analysis was used to determine correlations of SII with C‐reactive protein (CRP) level, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and BASDAI in AS patients. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to assess risk factors for AS disease activity. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of SII and the above variables for the active group compared with the remission group. Results Systemic immune‐inflammation index levels were higher in AS patients than in healthy controls (p < 0.001). SII levels were higher in the active group than in the remission group (p < 0.001). For patients with AS, SII correlated positively with CRP (rs = 0.483, p < 0.001), ESR (rs = 0.374, p < 0.001), and BASDAI (rs = 0.667, p < 0.001). SII (OR = 1.009, 95% CI = 1.006–1.012, p < 0.001) was an independent risk factor affecting AS disease activity. The specificity and sensitivity of SII using a cutoff value of 513.2 were 83.33% and 86.84%, respectively, for the active group. Conclusion Systemic immune‐inflammation index was increased in AS. SII may be a novel indicator for monitoring AS disease activity.

Abstract
Background: Increased platelet count has been reported in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients, but its clinical significance is still largely elusive. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical role of platelet count in AS patients, especially its impact on treatment outcomes. Methods: A case-control study containing 35 AS patients receiving anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (anti-TNF-α) therapy and 45 healthy controls was performed, and AS patients were followed at least 6 months after anti-TNF-α therapy. A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies containing relevant data on outcomes of interest was also performed. Results: AS patients had significantly higher platelet count than controls (p = 0.0001), and the significantly increased platelet count in AS patients was confirmed in a meta-analysis of 14 studies involving 1,223 AS patients and 913 controls (mean difference = 39.61, 95% CI 27.89–51.34, p < 0.001). Besides, platelet count was significantly correlated with ESR (p < 0.001) and was moderately correlated with ASDAS-CRP score (p = 0.002). Moreover, anti-TNF-α therapy could reduce platelet count in AS patients at the first month and the effect was maintained through the treatment duration. In the prospective follow-up study of those 35 AS patients, those responders to anti-TNF-α therapy had significantly lower platelet count than nonresponders (p = 0.015). Logistic regression analysis suggested that lower platelet count was associated with higher possibility of achieving good response to anti-TNF-α therapy in AS patients (odds ratio = 2.26; 95% CI = 1.06–4.82; p = 0.035). Conclusion: This study suggested that platelet count was associated with inflammation severity and treatment outcomes in AS patients, and elevated platelet count was a promising biomarker of poorer response to anti-TNF-α therapy. The findings above need to be validated in more future studies.

Mol Med Rep 2020; 22:4197-4206. [PMID: 33000244 PMCID: PMC7533439 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2020.11520] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2020] [Accepted: 08/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) is a chronic rheumatic disease involving the axial skeleton. Recent evidence suggested that certain circular RNAs (circRNAs) have a crucial role in rheumatic diseases. However, the functions of circRNAs in AxSpA have remained largely elusive. The present study identified the utility of the circRNA Homo sapiens (hsa)_circ_0079787 as a potential biomarker for AxSpA. A total of 5 circRNAs (hsa_circ_0002715, hsa_circ_0001947, hsa_circ_0079787, hsa_circ_0000367 and hsa_circ_0035197) were determined in the peripheral blood of 46 patients with AxSpA, 46 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and 25 healthy controls (HC) by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR analysis. The detailed clinical history of each patient was recorded and the correlations between these circRNAs and clinical characteristics were analyzed. Furthermore, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed to evaluate the diagnostic value of hsa_circ_0079787 and other factors for AxSpA. Of the 5 selected circRNAs, the expression of hsa_circ_0079787 was indicated to be significantly reduced in the peripheral blood of patients with AxSpA as compared with the levels in HCs and patients with SLE. The peripheral blood levels of hsa_circ_0079787 in patients with AxSpA were negatively correlated with the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index and positively correlated with the platelet count (PLT) and the lymphocyte‑to‑monocyte ratio. In addition, the expression of peripheral blood hsa_circ_0079787 in male patients with AxSpA was negatively correlated with the mean platelet volume (MPV) and positively correlated with the plateletcrit (PCT). ROC curve analysis suggested that hsa_circ_0079787 and the combination of hsa_circ_0079787‑PLT‑MPV‑PCT had a significant diagnostic value for AxSpA. hsa_circ_0079787 and the combination of hsa_circ_0079787‑PLT‑MPV‑PCT was also able to differentiate between patients with AxSpA and those with SLE. In conclusion, peripheral‑blood hsa_circ_0079787 and the combination of hsa_circ_0079787‑PLT‑MPV‑PCT may provide improved diagnostic accuracy for AxSpA. In addition, the levels of hsa_circ_0079787 in the peripheral blood were correlated with disease activity and severity of AxSpA.

Abstract
Correlation between platelet indices and chronic inflammatory arthritis (CIA) remains a moot point today. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate whether platelet (PLT) count, mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science up to August 2019. Pooled standardized mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using a random-effect model. As a result, 34 studies were included, encompassing 17 on RA, 12 on AS, 3 on PsA and 2 on both RA and AS. In these studies, PLT count was significantly higher in RA (SMD = 0.55, 95% CI = 0.36-0.73, P < .001), AS (SMD = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.36-0.70, P < .001) and PsA patients (SMD = 1.29, 95% CI = 0.82-1.77, P < .001) than that in healthy subjects, while MPV and PDW presented nonsignificant differences in these intergroup comparisons (P > .05), and similar results were observed in subgroup analyses. The meta-regression analysis demonstrated that there were strong positive correlations between erythrocyte sedimentation rate and PLT count, and weak correlation trend between the disease activity score and PLT count in both RA and AS subjects without statistically significant difference. The sensitivity analysis indicated that these results were not unduly influenced by any single study. In conclusion, this meta-analysis demonstrated that PLT count was elevated in CIA patients and could be suitable for evaluating the disease activity, whereas MPV and PDW were independent of CIA.

Abstract
Objectives: The mean platelet volume (MPV) and the MPV-to-platelet (PLT) count ratio have long been reported as inflammation markers. In this study, we aimed to investigate the predictive value of the MPV and the MPV-to-PLT ratio on surgical wound healing in patients who underwent abdominal hysterectomy and experienced infections at the surgical site following surgery, despite adequate antimicrobial treatment. Methods: A total of 100 patients who encountered surgical wound infection (SWI) after abdominal hysterectomy were enrolled retrospectively. Samples for complete blood count were drawn the day before the operation. All patients received preoperative and postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis and proper antimicrobial treatment following the SWI development. Patients’ condition resolved after standard care and antimicrobial agents were classified as the standard care group. Others, in whom an improvement despite the standard care was not observed, underwent delayed primary closure and were classified as the delayed primary closure group. Results: The PLT count was decreased (319.5±66 103/µL vs. 392±121 103/µL; p<0.05), MPV(9.2±1.3 fL vs. 8.2±1.5 fL; p<0.05), and the MPV-to-PLT ratio (0.030±0.006 vs. 0.024±0.014; p<0.05) was increased in the delayed primary closure group compared to the standard care group. A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to determine the predictive value of these parameters on the response to standard care measures providing 8.28fL as a cut-off value for MPV (AUC=0.647, 72% sensitivity and 52% specificity) and 0.025 as a cut-off value for the MPV-to-PLT ratio (AUC=0.750, 75% sensitivity and 67% specificity) for predicting nonresponsiveness. Conclusion: An increased preoperative MPV and the MPV-to-PLT ratio may predict poor wound healing following total abdominal hysterectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic, progressive inflammatory rheumatic disease that leads to structural damage, functional impairment, and decrease in the quality of life. Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a part of the complete blood count (CBC) and estimates erythrocyte variability. OBJECTIVE To analyse RDW in patients with AS and to evaluate the relationships with acute phase reactants (APRs) and disease activity index. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 100 patients with AS (78 males and 22 females) were diagnosed according to the modified New York classification criteria for AS and 146 (99 males: 47 females) healthy individuals matched in age and sex as controls enrolled in the study. Demographic data, disease activity scores using Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), medical history, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocytes sedimentation rate (ESR), and complete blood count (CBC) were measured. RESULTS The mean age for patients and controls was 38.0 ± 9.0 and 35.8 ± 9.0 years, respectively (p=0.057). RDW was significantly higher in patients with AS compared with controls (14.133 ± 1.613 versus 12.299 ± 1.031, p < 0.001). There was a direct correlation of RDW with both ESR and CRP (P < 0.001); RDW had r=0.38 for C-reactive protein (CRP) and r=0.413 for ESR. Also BASDAI was directly correlated with RDW (r=0.326 p<0.001). RDW was a valid measure to differentiate between patients with AS and controls (AUC=0,84, p<0.001) and at optimum cut-off value>13% has highest accuracy (78.9%) with very good sensitivity test (81%) and NPV (85.6%) as well as good specificity (77.4%) and PPV (71.1%). CONCLUSION RDW was higher in AS patients compared with controls and was directly correlated with ESR, CRP, and BASDAI. RDW was a valid simple measure with good accuracy to differentiate between patients with AS and controls.

Abstract
Background Henoch-Schonlein purpura is a systemic small-vessel vasculitis that occurs mainly in children. A review of the literature has suggested a correlation between mean platelet volume and several inflammatory disorders. However, to the best of our knowledge, any potential correlation between mean platelet volume and Henoch-Schonlein purpura has not been reported in the literature. Therefore, our study aimed to evaluate the role of mean platelet volume concentrations in patients with Henoch-Schonlein purpura. Methods This study included 97 children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura and 120 healthy individuals as controls. Results Mean platelet volume concentrations were found to be significantly lower in Henoch-Schonlein purpura patients compared with healthy controls (8.1 ± 0.86 vs. 9.4 ± 0.81, P < 0.001). Similarly, significant negative correlations were observed between mean platelet volume and neutrophil count, platelet count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate in patients with Henoch-Schonlein purpura (r=−0.327, P = 0.001; r=−0.419, P < 0.001; r=−0.255, P = 0.012). Interestingly, mean platelet volume was significantly lower in the acute phase compared with the convalescent phase of Henoch-Schonlein purpura patients (7.8 ± 0.86 vs. 8.3 ± 0.77, P = 0.002). A cut-off value for mean platelet volume was 7.85 with area under the curve of 0.726 to identify acute phase vs. convalescent phase in patients with Henoch-Schonlein purpura. Mean platelet volume was independently associated with Henoch-Schonlein purpura in logistic regression analysis (odds ratio = 0.114, 95% confidence interval = 0.053–0.243, P < 0.001). Conclusions Our results suggest that mean platelet volume is inversely associated with disease in patients with Henoch-Schonlein purpura, and mean platelet volume may be a useful marker to identify active disease in Henoch-Schonlein purpura patients.

Abstract
Mean platelet volume (MPV), measured using automated blood analysers, has been appraised as a potential biomarker in cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and cancer. The test, a useful tool in differentiation of thrombocytopenic states, has now been carried out for autoimmune disorders, but data are yet scarce. Controversial results have been obtained in systemic and organ-specific autoimmune disorders. Another test, the immature platelet fraction (IPF) reflects the amount of young, reticulated platelets. IPF is calculated by automated hematology analysis or flow cytometry, and it is usually high in patients with rapid platelet destruction. For both MPV and IPF, standardization of cutoff is a major need. In this review, we focus the current applicability of MPV and IPF as biomarkers in patients with autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and lymphocytes to monocytes ratio (LMR) levels in Behçet's disease (BD) and to investigate their relationships with disease activity.Hematological and inflammatory parameters including high-sensitivity C-reactive proteins (hs-CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), PLR, and LMR were examined in BD and healthy controls.Data from 140 patients with BD (108 with active and 32 with inactive disease) and 107 controls were enrolled. PLR (153.21 ± 65.44, 106.20 ± 28.91, P <.001, respectively) was remarkably higher, whereas LMR (5.37 ± 5.47, 8.95 ± 5.84, P <.001, respectively) was significantly lower in BD than in controls. Active BD patients had significantly higher PLR (159.20 vs 131.14, P = .037), ESR (38.30 vs 24.55, P = .017), and hs-CRP (30.20 vs 17.21, P = .027) than those with inactive BD. However, no significant difference in LMR was found between the groups. Moreover, PLR was positively correlated with BDCAF (r = 0.193, P <.05), hs-CRP (r = 0.402, P <.01), and ESR (r = 0.284, P <.01), whereas LMR was negatively correlated with BDCAF (r = -0.175, P <.05), hs-CPR (r = -0.263, P <.01), and ESR (r = -0.175, P <.05). Additionally, both PLR and LMR were shown to be independent factors for BD by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Furthermore, a PLR level of 124.63 was determined as the best cut-off value by ROC analysis (sensitivity 64.3%, specificity 78.0%, and the area under the ROC curve 0. 753).PLR was elevated in active BD as compared to inactive BD. PLR may be a reliable, cost-effective, and novel potential parameter to help evaluate disease activity in BD.
