Bae S, Kaeding CC, Flanigan DC, Barker T. Older age at anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction associates with a lower systemic inflammation response index after surgery. J Orthop 2025; 69:137-141. [PMID: 40225949 PMCID: PMC11984943 DOI: 10.1016/j.jor.2025.03.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2025] [Accepted: 03/14/2025] [Indexed: 04/15/2025] Open
Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of age at anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with systemic indices of the immune system and inflammation after surgery. Methods This study consisted of a retrospective, cohort design. Patients (male and female, ≥18 years) that underwent ACLR at a single academic institution and with complete blood cell (CBC) count data obtained ≥ 1-year after surgery were included. Patients with a documented diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis (OA) before ACLR were excluded, while those with a documented diagnosis of knee OA after ACLR were included in this study. The systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) were calculated from the CBC data. Patients (n = 198) were separated into groups based on age at ACLR: (1) 18-29 y (n = 96), (2) 30-39 y (n = 50), or (3) ≥40 y (n = 52). Results Subject characteristics (patient sex, height, body mass, and body mass index), follow-up interval, time from ACLR to CBC assessment, and concomitant procedures performed at ACLR were not significantly different between age groups. The PLR, NLR, MLR, and SII were not significantly different between groups, while the SIRI was significantly lower in the 30-39 (p < 0.01) and ≥40 y (p < 0.01) groups compared to the 18-29 y group. An older age at ACLR (i.e., 30-39 y and ≥40 y) was associated with an increased occurrence (11.5 and 12 %, respectively) of a knee OA diagnosis following surgery compared to that in the younger age group (18-29 y, 1.0 %; p = 0.04). Conclusion We conclude that an older age at ACLR associated with a lower systemic inflammatory response index at a minimum of 1-year following surger. Level of evidence Level III.

Paradoxical effects of adiposity and inflammation on immunotherapy efficacy in gastric cancer: novel insights from real-world data. Gastric Cancer 2025:10.1007/s10120-025-01622-w. [PMID: 40350511 DOI: 10.1007/s10120-025-01622-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2025] [Accepted: 04/29/2025] [Indexed: 05/14/2025]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Emerging studies suggest obesity may improve PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor efficacy, correlating with prolonged survival, known as the 'obesity paradox'. However, the impact of this paradox and obesity-related chronic inflammation on immunotherapy for advanced gastric cancer (AGC) has not received sufficient research. METHODS Between January 2018 and December 2021, patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy were categorized into two groups: combined immunotherapy (ICIs, n = 173) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC, n = 126). Visceral (VATI) and subcutaneous adipose tissue index (SATI) were obtained from pre-treatment CT images. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) was calculated as platelet count multiplied by the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio. RESULTS The median age of patients was 64 years (IQR 56-69), with 219 (73.2%) males and 80 (26.8%) females. In the ICIs group, the VATI-High group showed significantly higher 3-year overall survival (OS) (p = 0.010) and disease-free survival (DFS) (p = 0.029). Similar results were observed in the SATI analysis (p < 0.05). Conversely, OS (p = 0.040) and DFS (p = 0.039) were significantly lower in the SII-High group. Both VATI and SATI were independent protective factors for OS and DFS, but the effect disappeared after adjustment for SII. SII was associated with poorer OS and DFS, even after adjustment for VATI and SATI. No significant differences were observed in the analysis of the NAC group. CONCLUSIONS Elevated adiposity indices (VATI/SATI) and low SII correlate with survival benefit in ICI-treated AGC patients, and importantly, this paradoxical survival benefit is dependent on SII status. In contrast, no such benefit is observed in chemotherapy-alone cohorts.

[PMID: 40342817 PMCID: PMC12058505 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2025.1555369] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2025] [Accepted: 03/24/2025] [Indexed: 05/11/2025] Open
Abstract
Background Hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) is an aggressive cancer with poor prognosis after surgery. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has been proposed as a prognostic marker, but its relationship with other markers such as CA19-9 remains unclear. This study investigates the prognostic significance of SII and CA19-9 in HCCA patients receiving post-surgery adjuvant therapy. Methods A cohort of 145 HCCA patients who underwent surgery and adjuvant therapy was analyzed. Patients were categorized into High SII and Low SII groups based on an optimal cutoff value of 672.8, determined using ROC curve analysis. Further stratification was performed based on CA19-9 levels. The associations between SII, CA19-9, and survival outcomes, including overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS), were assessed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression. Results Elevated SII was significantly associated with worse OS (p = 0.0027) and DFS (p = 0.0024). Notably, a significant difference in CA19-9 levels was observed between high and low SII groups (p = 0.013), with higher CA19-9 levels in the high SII group. However, no significant difference in CA19-9 was found between the low SII groups (p = 0.128). Patients with both high SII and high CA19-9 levels had the poorest survival outcomes, with significantly higher risks of mortality and disease recurrence (HR for OS = 2.29, 95% CI: 1.23-4.25; HR for DFS = 2.16, 95% CI: 1.17-3.99). Multivariate analysis identified high SII, high CA19-9, lymph node metastasis, and local organ metastasis as independent prognostic factors. Conclusions Elevated SII and CA19-9 are independent prognostic markers for HCCA patients after surgery. The combination of high SII and high CA19-9 identifies a subgroup with the poorest prognosis, suggesting the potential for these markers to guide postoperative treatment decisions.

Li D, Liu L, Lv J, Xiong X. The Clinical significance of Peripheral Blood-related Inflammatory Markers in patients with AECOPD. Immunobiology 2025; 230:152903. [PMID: 40286421 DOI: 10.1016/j.imbio.2025.152903] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2025] [Revised: 04/07/2025] [Accepted: 04/18/2025] [Indexed: 04/29/2025]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Peripheral blood-related inflammatory markers, including systemic immune inflammation index (SII), inflammatory response index (SIRI), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), have received increasing clinical attention over the years. This study aims to investigate the clinical significance of peripheral blood-related inflammatory markers in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). We hope that this study will provide guidance for clinical individualized treatment and management of AECOPD patients. METHODS A total of 254 patients with AECOPD admitted between January 2021 and December 2022 were enrolled in this study and categorized into mild and moderate-to-severe groups. Univariate analysis, Spearman correlation analysis, and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) were performed to study the clinical value of peripheral blood-related inflammatory markers. Then, the relationship between the peripheral blood-related inflammatory markers and the risk of readmission owing to acute exacerbation during the first year after discharge was further studied through survival analysis and multivariate Cox regression. RESULTS The levels of peripheral blood-related inflammatory markers in patients with moderate-to-severe AECOPD were significantly higher than patients in the mild group, and the levels of peripheral blood-related inflammatory markers are positively correlated with the severity of disease. The highest diagnostic accuracy for moderate-to-severe AECOPD was achieved by combining five indexes, with a cut-off value of 0.38 and an AUC of 0.837 (95 % CI: 0.789-0.885). Higher levels of peripheral blood-related inflammatory markers may indicate a higher risk of readmission within one year of hospital discharge in patients with AECOPD, and SII (HR = 3.478, P < 0.001) was an independent risk factor. Besides, higher levels of peripheral blood-related inflammatory markers also suggest impaired pulmonary ventilation function and enlarged right ventricular diameter. CONCLUSIONS Peripheral blood-related inflammatory markers (SII, SIRI, NLR, PLR, MLR) can serve as a reference for identifying patients with moderate-to-severe AECOPD. Patients with higher levels of peripheral blood-related inflammatory markers are more susceptible to experiencing acute exacerbation and readmission events within one year after hospital discharge. Peripheral blood-related inflammatory markers can assist clinicians in evaluating the condition and predicting the risk of readmission in patients with AECOPD more scientifically and objectively.

Abstract
AIM To assess the ability of clinical inflammatory models to predict tumor regression grade (TRG) in response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) and survival in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 161 patients with LARC who underwent NCRT followed by total mesorectal excision at Beijing Hospital between May 2007 and March 2022. By using logistic and Cox regression analyses, we developed prediction models for TRG in response to NCRT and overall survival (OS), respectively. RESULTS Multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that variations in neutrophil, lymphocyte, and monocyte counts and pre-NCRT (preneoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy) CA19 - 9 levels independently predicted TRG in response to NCRT (all P < 0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that clinical tumor (cT) stage, pre-NCRT platelet count, CA19 - 9 level, number of lymph node metastases, and TRG could independently predict OS (all P < 0.05). On the basis of these results, we developed models to predict TRG and OS, respectively. The final predictive model for predicting the response to NCRT had areas under the curve (AUCs) of 0.783 and 0.809 in the training and testing cohorts, respectively; for predicting the 5-year OS rate, the AUC rates were 0.842 and 0.930 in the training and test sets, respectively. The calibration and decision curves showed favorable performance in our prediction models. CONCLUSION We combined inflammatory markers with tumor characteristics and successfully developed clinical prediction models for TRG in response to NCRT and OS in patients with LARC. Our findings offer insights for optimizing treatment in patients with LARC.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2025; 139:156512.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The occurrence and development of cancer are deeply intertwined with chronic inflammatory processes. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the most pharmacologically potent catechin derived from tea, has garnered attention for its anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties. However, the molecular mechanisms through which EGCG modulates tobacco smoke (TS)-induced inflammatory responses in lung carcinogenesis remain incompletely elucidated. PURPOSE To unravel the molecular mechanisms by which EGCG mitigates TS-induced inflammatory processes in lung carcinogenesis. METHODS Network pharmacology analysis was conducted to explore the potential target genes of EGCG involved in the inhibition of TS-induced lung cancer inflammation. In vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted to demonstrate EGCG's chemopreventive potential against lung carcinogenesis. RESULTS Utilizing data from the US adults, it was uncovered that tea consumption could suppress the inflammatory response in patients with various cancer types. CCL5 (chemokine (CC motif) ligand 5) could function as a core regulator of TS-induced lung cancer cell proliferation, and EGCG exerted beneficial effects. The following experiments revealed that TS upregulated CCL5 expression in H1299 and H226 cells. CCL5 recombinant protein elevated both ROS production and Nrf2 expression to promote lung cancer cell proliferation. EGCG could suppress CCL5-stimulated lung cancer cell proliferation by downregulating Nrf2 expression. In the mouse model, EGCG reduced tumor weight and volume, diminished the levels of CCL5, Ki67, Cyclin D1, PCNA, and Nrf2, and elevated the expression of Keap1 relative to the control group. CONCLUSION EGCG targets CCL5 to inhibit the proliferation of TS-induced lung cancer cells and may serve as a new treatment strategy.

Abstract
As a novel inflammatory marker, Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) has recently been recognized as a prognostic indicator for a variety of diseases including malignant cancers, coronary artery disease, hyperlipidemia, and hepatic steatosis. Carotenoids are a group of abundant lipid-soluble phytochemicals, and studies have suggested that they have antioxidant, antiapoptotic, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, a systematic analysis of the association between serum carotenoids and SII is still lacking. The purpose of this investigation was to explore the association between serum carotenoid concentration and SII. The cross-sectional investigation included general people (age ≥ 20) with complete information on SII and five different serum carotenoids (Trans-lycopene, β-carotene, α-carotene, lutein/zeaxanthin, and β-cryptoxanthin). Multivariate linear regression analyses were used to evaluate the association between serum carotenoids and SII among general people. The potential non-linear relationship was determined using threshold effect analysis and fitted smoothing curves. Subgroup analysis was performed to explore the potential stratified factors. 15903 participants were enrolled in our investigation. Based on multivariate linear regressions, the highest quartiles of serum carotenoids were found significantly associated with SII compared with the lowest quartiles. The results showed the negative association between SII and the concentration of five different serum carotenoids. According to the non-linear analysis, we found that there are non-linear relationships between β-carotene and trans-lycopene and SII in general people with an inflection point of 6.90 (log2-transformed, ug/dL) and 4.01 (log2-transformed, ug/dL), respectively. The results from subgroup analysis provide several potential moderating effects, such as race, current drinker, and age. This study revealed the relationship between the concentration of several serum carotenoids and SII across the general American population. Further prospective and longitude investigations are needed.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains a significant global health challenge. While traditional prognostic factors are well established, emerging biomarkers continue to gain attention. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study evaluated the impact of systemic inflammatory markers on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in 154 EOC patients. Pre-treatment neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and systemic inflammatory index (SII) were calculated and categorized into low and high groups. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify independent prognostic factors, while logistic regression analysis was used to determine predictors of platinum resistance. Results: In the univariate analysis, elevated NLR and PLR were associated with poorer PFS and OS. However, these markers did not maintain statistical significance in the multivariate analysis. Although SII demonstrated a trend toward worse outcomes, it did not reach statistical significance. Histopathological type, PLR, and surgical approach were identified as independent predictors of platinum resistance. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that systemic inflammatory markers may hold prognostic value in EOC; however, further validation through larger prospective studies is necessary.

Abstract
Objective The prognostic value of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) for prostate cancer (PCa) patients receiving different treatments remains unclear. This research examined the relevance of SII in individuals undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP). Methods PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane, Wanfang, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) dat3 abases were used to search literature up to May 2024. The quality was evaluated with Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Outcomes examined were associations between SII and overall survival (OS), biochemical recurrence-free survival (BFS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS). Pooled analysis, Egger's test, and sensitivity analysis were conducted using Review Manager 5.4.1 and Stata 15.1. The GRADE system was employed to evaluate and grade the evidence for each outcome. Subgroup analyses were performed for outcomes with significant heterogeneity to evaluate the possible confounders, if data were sufficient. Results Out of 101 identified studies, eight studies involving 8,267 individuals were included. Patients with higher SII had shorter overall survival (HR: 1.89; 95% CI: 1.31-2.71; P = 0.0006), biochemical recurrence-free survival (HR: 1.55; 95% CI: 1.08-2.22; P = 0.02), and cancer-specific survival (HR: 3.63; 95% CI: 1.66-7.94; P = 0.001). The evidence for OS and CSS was rated very low-quality due to serious heterogeneity and/or imprecision. The prognostic value of SII for BFS was rated as low-quality evidence, given no serious risk observed. Subgroup analysis showed that, except for the subgroup aged >65 years (HR: 3.70; 95%CI: 0.91, 15.06, P=0.07), the prognostic value of SII for OS was not significant, but the prognostic value of SII for OS in other subgroups was still significant. Conclusions High SII was linked to shorter OS, BFS, and CSS in patients undergoing RP. However, the quality of the evidence provided by this study was low.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have estimated the associations of systemic inflammation markers and high blood pressure (HBP) in the pediatric population. METHODS Basing on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2018, we assessed the associations between four inflammation-related factors based on blood cell counts: systemic immune inflammation index (SII), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), and risk for pediatric HBP by estimating odds ratios (ORs) using multivariable logistic regression models. RESULTS A total of 17,936 children aged 8-19 years were included in the analysis, representing about 36.7 million American children. The prevalence rates of elevated blood pressure (EBP) and hypertension (HTN) were 15.79% and 6.77%, respectively. The results showed that the ORs for EBP per standard deviation (SD) increment in SII and NLR were estimated at 1.11 [95% confidence interval (95%CI): 1.04, 1.17] and 1.08 (95%CI: 1.02, 1.15), respectively; and the OR for EBP per SD increment in LMP were estimated at 0.90 (95%CI: 0.83, 0.96). These associations were stronger in boys and younger children. CONCLUSIONS The study suggested that inflammation-related factors could serve as easily accessible early biomarkers for HBP risk prediction and prevention in children and adolescents. IMPACT The study suggested that inflammation-related factors could serve as easily accessible early biomarkers for HBP risk prediction and prevention in children and adolescents. This is the first study that demonstrates the close association between systemic inflammation markers and HBP in children and adolescents using nationally representative population data. The findings have more public health implications and support that systemic inflammation markers based on blood cell counts could serve as easily accessible biomarkers of HBP risk and prevention in earlier identification of the diseases.

Impact of systemic immune-inflammation index and its evaluation of optimal threshold in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer: a retrospective study based on 572 cases. Transl Cancer Res 2025; 14:371-382. [PMID: 39974395 PMCID: PMC11833402 DOI: 10.21037/tcr-24-1266] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2024] [Accepted: 11/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2025]
Abstract
Background Given the role of inflammation in cancer progression, the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII, defined as platelet × neutrophil/lymphocyte) has been suggested as an emerging prognostic marker in several solid malignant neoplasms. However, there are few studies on the prognostic value of SII in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC), and the optimal threshold of SII remains unclear in this population. This study calculated the optimal threshold of SII by a reasonable method and explored its association with survival outcomes. Methods This retrospective study reviewed clinical data of 572 patients with LS-SCLC. The threshold for SII was determined using an outcome-based method by maximizing the log-rank test statistic and the survival differences. Continuous time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curves (time-dependent ROC curves) were used to clarify the predictive ability of SII. Results The thresholds of SII for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were both 760.6, based on which patients were divided into low [292 cases (51.0%)] and high [280 cases (49.0%)] SII groups. The area under the time-dependent ROC curves of SII in 12-, 24-, and 36-months were 0.727, 0.708, and 0.680, respectively. The overall median OS and PFS were 26.0 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 23.8-28.2] and 13.0 months (95% CI: 11.3-14.7), respectively. Significantly improved OS [35.0 (95% CI: 30.0-40.0) vs. 19.0 months (95% CI: 17.1-20.9), P<0.001] and PFS [20.0 (95% CI: 17.3-22.7) vs. 11.0 months (95% CI: 9.9-12.1), P<0.001] was seen in the low SII group than that in the high SII group. In the multivariable survival analysis, SII remained an independent prognostic factor for OS [hazard ratio (HR): 1.699; 95% CI: 1.374-2.100; P=0.001] and PFS (HR: 1.482; 95% CI: 1.214-1.809; P<0.001). Conclusions Our study demonstrates that elevated SII is an independent adverse prognostic factor for LS-SCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited understanding exists regarding the association between daily total dietary nutrient intakes and immune-inflammation states in US adults exposed to various pathogens. This study sought to examine the correlation between nutrient intakes and immune-inflammation indicators and to assess their performance in distinguishing immune-inflammation states. METHODS This study was derived from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), which included 33,804 participants aged 20 years or older between 2005 and 2018. Multivariable linear regression and restricted cubic spline regression were conducted to evaluate the association between nutrient intakes and immune-inflammation indicators. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to evaluate the discriminatory performance of identified nutrients for various immune-inflammation states measured by the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII). RESULTS Ten key nutrients were significantly associated with immune-inflammation responses, including calcium, saturated fatty acid (SFA) 4:0, SFA 6:0, SFA 12:0, SFA 14:0, SFA 16:0, vitamin B2, total SFAs, retinol, and lutein + zeaxanthin, which show potential as dietary indicators. The area under the curve for discriminating various immune-inflammation states was improved by at least 0.03 compared with a model that included only covariates, with all P values <0.05 in the Delong tests, indicating a significant enhancement in model performance. CONCLUSIONS Ten nutrients, including calcium, various SFAs, vitamin B2, retinol, and lutein + zeaxanthin, exhibit significant association with SII and potential as dietary indicators for distinguishing between different immune-inflammation states in US adults with seropositivity to various viruses.

Abstract
Aim To investigate the changes in liver stiffness and immune-inflammatory markers associated with obesity and the degree of hepatic steatosis in obese children and adolescents. Methods A total of 76 obese children and adolescents aged 6-18 years, with body mass index percentiles >95th, were included in the study. Patients with metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, and chronic liver disease were excluded. A control group of 44 patients of healthy and normal-weight children was included. Laboratory values from the past month were analyzed using patient records. Shear wave elastography and ultrasound examinations were performed on a single device by the same experienced radiologist. Results The systemic immune-inflammation index and pan-immune inflammation values were significantly higher in obese patients with hepatic steatosis compared to obese patients without hepatic steatosis (p <0.001). Liver stiffness values were significantly higher in steatotic patients compared to nonsteatotic patients (p <0.001). A significant difference was observed between hepatic steatosis grades in terms of immune-inflammation index and pan-immune inflammation value values (p <0.001). There was a strong, positive, statistically significant correlation between liver stiffness and immune-inflammation index and pan-immune inflammation value (p <0.05). Conclusions Immune-inflammatory biomarkers and shear wave elastography may provide valuable insights into the diagnosis and follow-up of inflammation and fibrosis in the evaluation of hepatic steatosis in obese children and adolescents.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of preoperative platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) on the prognosis of patients after radical nephrectomy (RNU). Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data from 226 patients without a history of bladder cancer who underwent RNU at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University between January 2009 and December 2020. Patients were stratified into two groups (A low PLR group (n = 174) and a high PLR group (PLR ≥ 169.4) based on an optimal PLR threshold (PLR=169.4). The predictive accuracy of inflammatory biomarkers was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curves. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional risk analyses were used to estimate the effect of PLR on intravesical recurrence-free survival (IVRFS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and overall survival (OS). The effect of PLR on IVRFS, RFS and OS was further examined using Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis. Results The study cohort comprised 226 individuals with a mean age of 67.2 ± 9.8, 113 (50%) males and 113 (50%) females, 68 (30.1%) low-grade tumors and 158 (69.9%) high-grade tumors. In this study, 81 patients (36.7%) relapsed and 73 patients (32.3%) died. The area under the curve for PLR prediction of IVRFS was 0.603, superior to other inflammatory biomarkers. Multivariate analysis showed that PLR > 169.4 independently increased the risk of IVR after RNU, resulting in lower IVRFS [2.028 (1.014-4.057), P = 0.046], RFS [1.900 (1.168-3.090), P = 0.010], and OS [1.866 (1.099-3.167), P = 0.021]. In addition, survival analysis showed lower IVRFS [8.815 (62.722-97.278), P = 0.007], RFS [12.084 (44.315-91.685), P = 0.003] and OS RFS [10.165 (62.077-101.923), P = 0.005] in the low PLR group. Conclusion Elevated preoperative PLR is strongly associated with prognosis in patients with upper urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) after RNU without a history of bladder cancer.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to examine the association between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) (ie, neutrophil count × platelet count/lymphocyte count), the age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (ACCI), and overall survival (OS) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing first-line platinum-based chemotherapy (PBC), with a particular emphasis on the role of SII in supporting ACCI. Patients and Methods This retrospective study enrolled 353 cases treated between July 2013 and November 2020. Mann-Whitney U-test and Kruskal-Wallis test were employed to compare parameters between high and low SII groups. The cut-off values for SII and ACCI were determined using the X-tile software. Prognostic significance was evaluated through the utilization of Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression analysis. Results In a univariate Cox regression analysis, sex, age, TNM, lymph node, therapy, SII, and ACCI were associated with OS. After adjusting for confounders in the multivariate analysis, TNM, SII, and ACCI remained independent prognostic factors for OS. Furthermore, within the ACCI subgroups (ACCI<5 or ACCI≥5), a high SII was significantly associated with an increased risk of death. Patients with both a high ACCI and a high SII had the highest risk of death (p < 0.001), with a loss of approximately ten months of survival during the first three years after treatment. Conclusion SII was proven to be valuable in predicting OS and, when complemented by ACCI, can help tailor prognostic assessment and treatment strategies in assessing the survival of NSCLC patients with first-line PBC.

Front Oncol 2024; 14:1485849. [PMID: 39697233 PMCID: PMC11652344 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2024.1485849] [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: 08/25/2024] [Accepted: 11/12/2024] [Indexed: 12/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Background There is a strong association between inflammation and the formation, progression, and metastasis of malignant tumors, according to earlier studies. Some composite inflammation-nutritional indicators, such as the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and the prognostic nutritional index (PNI), have a certain predictive effect on the prognosis of patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). However, the relationship between these indicators and the efficacy of immunotherapy in SCLC patients is still not well understood. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore how the pre-treatment SII-PNI score can predict the tumor response and prognosis of extensive-stage SCLC patients treated with PD-L1 inhibitors and first-line chemotherapy. Methods This research conducted a retrospective review of 70 ES- SCLC patients from December 2019 to January 2023. According to the SII-PNI score, all patients were categorized into three groups. Overall survival (OS) was assessed by implementing the Kaplan Meier and Cox regression models. In addition, we devised a nomogram and scrutinized its accuracy in prediction through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and visualized it by calibration plots. Subsequently, a risk classification system was established. Results Patients with higher SII-PNI scores exhibited notably poorer survival outcomes compared to their counterpart with low SII-PNI score (p=0.008), as well as poorer short-term curative effects (p=0.004). The results of the multivariate analysis revealed that the SII-PNI score (p=0.036) had an independent association with a less favorable OS. The nomogram has been demonstrated to be a reliable prognostic tool for ES-SCLC patients. A notable difference was identified between the two different levels of risk. Conclusion The baseline SII-PNI score can serve as a reliable prognostic indicator for ES-SCLC patients receiving immunotherapy. Higher SII-PNI scores imply a worse prognosis.

Ulas A, Temel B, Kos FT. Comparison of Prognostic Values of Seven Immune Indexes in Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Treated with Nivolumab: How Effective Can They Be Regarding Our Treatment Decisions? MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2024; 60:1792. [PMID: 39596977 PMCID: PMC11596302 DOI: 10.3390/medicina60111792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2024] [Revised: 10/27/2024] [Accepted: 10/30/2024] [Indexed: 11/29/2024]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: In this study, we evaluated the impact of seven immune indexes on treatment response and survival outcomes in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients receiving second-line and subsequent nivolumab treatment under real-life conditions. Materials and Methods: The pan-immune inflammation value (PIV), systemic immune inflammation value (SII), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (d-NLR), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) were calculated. All immune indexes were classified as low and high based on cut-off values. Kaplan-Meier and Cox hazard models were used for survival analysis. Results: The median follow-up was 22.0 months (6.0-96.0). The median overall survival (OS) was 30.0 months and the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 7.0 months. In the univariate analysis, comorbidity (p = 0.03) and nivolumab use for more than eight cycles (p < 0.0001) were associated with an increase in PFS, while smoking history (p < 0.005) and d-NLR (p < 0.05) were more effective regarding OS. Patients who received more than eight cycles of nivolumab had longer median PFS (4 vs. 19 months, p < 0.001) and OS (23 vs. 43 months, p < 0.001). We found longer median OS in the PLR (45.7 vs. 75.4 months; p = 0.05), PIV (53.0 vs. 66.4 months; p = 0.19), SII (50.0 vs. 71.9 vs. months, p = 0.19), and NLR (49.9 vs. 74.55 months, p = 0.10) indexes in nivolumab long-term users (high vs. low groups, respectively). In short-term users of nivolumab, only d-NLR median OS (high vs. low, 19 vs. 75.2 months, p = 0.07) was different. Complete and partial response rates to nivolumab treatment were higher in the PNI-high group (p = 0.04). Conclusions: In these real-life data, we determined that the PLR, PIV, SII, and NLR indexes were effective in the prognosis of patients who received PD1 inhibitor nivolumab for a long time, and the d-NLR index was effective in those who developed progression in a short time. We found that the PNI was effective in patients who responded well to ICI treatment.

Systemic immunity-inflammation index is associated with body fat distribution among U.S. adults: evidence from national health and nutrition examination survey 2011-2018. BMC Endocr Disord 2024; 24:189. [PMID: 39294646 PMCID: PMC11409527 DOI: 10.1186/s12902-024-01725-y] [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: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 09/05/2024] [Indexed: 09/21/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The systemic immunity-inflammation index (SII) is a newly developed biomarker that provides an integrated measure of inflammation in the body. We aim to evaluate the relationship between SII and body fat distribution. METHODS Adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2018 were included. The SII was computed using lymphocyte (LC), neutrophil (NC), and platelet (PC) counts as its components. Body fat distribution was assessed by (total, android, gynoid) percentage fat, total abdominal fat area, subcutaneous adipose tissue area, visceral adipose tissue area, and the ratio of visceral to subcutaneous adipose tissue area (V/S ratio). Multivariable weighted linear regression and subgroup analysis were use to examine the relationships between fat distribution and SII. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) and threshold effect analysis were used to examine analyze nonlinear associations. RESULTS After exclusions, a total of 11,192 adults with a weighted mean age of 38.46 ± 0.26 years were studied. In multivariable weighted linear regression, each level increase in log2SII was associated with increased of 0.23 SDs total percentage fat (95% CI = 0.03, 0.43) and 0.26 SDs android percentage fat (95% CI = 0.06, 0.47). Besides, the subgroup analysis showed that the positive association between SII and android percentage fat was mainly among obese individuals (BMI > 30 kg/m2) and non-obese individuals without DM or hypertension. Meanwhile, the relationship between SII and the V/S ratio was found to be significant in the female subgroup, the obese subgroup, individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and those without diabetes mellitus. Finally, SII exhibited an inverted U-shaped relationship with total percentage fat, android percent fat and total abdominal fat. Accordingly, threshold effect analysis indicated a positive association between lower SII levels and total percentage fat, android percentage fat and total abdominal fat area. CONCLUSIONS In the nationwide study, it was observed that the SII exhibited a significant correlation with higher levels of body fat, specifically android fat. This association was particularly noticeable within specific subgroups of the population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), as diagnostic markers for neonatal sepsis. METHODS This retrospective study involve neonates with sepsis and healthy neonates as controls. NLR, PLR, and SII were compared between groups. RESULT In total, 60 neonates with sepsis and 60 healthy controls were involved in the study. Compared with controls, the sepsis group had higher values for NLR, PLR and SII. Logistic regression analysis suggested that the NLR, PLR and SII were independent risk factors for neonatal sepsis. In addition, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis indicated that the NLR, PLR and SII were reliable predictors of neonatal sepsis and SII had the best predictive value. CONCLUSIONS NLR, PLR and SII appear to be useful indicators for predicting neonatal sepsis.

Abstract
The pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV), calculated as (neutrophil × platelet × monocyte)/lymphocyte count, may be useful for estimating survival in breast cancer patients. To determine the prognostic value of PIV for overall survival in breast cancer patients in Lima, Peru. A retrospective cohort study was conducted. 97 breast cancer patients diagnosed between January 2010 and December 2016 had their medical records analyzed. The primary dependent variable was overall survival, and the key independent variable was the PIV, divided into high (≥ 310) and low (< 310) groups. Patient data included demographics, treatment protocols and other clinical variables. Statistical analysis involved Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazards modeling. Patients with a PIV ≥ 310 had significantly lower 5-year survival functions (p = 0.004). Similar significant differences in survival were observed for clinical stage III-IV (p = 0.015), hemoglobin levels < 12 mg/Dl (p = 0.007), histological grade (p = 0.019), and nuclear grade (p < 0.001); however, molecular classification did not show a significant survival difference (p = 0.371). The adjusted Hazard Ratios showed that PIV ≥ 310 was significantly associated with poor outcome (5.08, IC95%: 1.52-16.92). While clinical stage and hemoglobin levels were associated with survival in the unadjusted model. These factors did not maintain significance after adjustment. PIV is an independent predictor of reduced survival in Peruvian breast cancer patients.

Abstract
Objects This study aimed to explore the association between the Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) and diabetes mellitus (DM) and to assess its influence on the prognosis of the DM and no-DM groups. Methods The study used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey; 9643 participants were included. Logistic regression analysis was employed to evaluate connections between SII and DM. We used the Cox proportional hazards model, restricted cubic spline, and Kaplan-Meier curve to analyze the relationship between SII and mortality. Results The logistic regression analysis indicated that a significant increase in the likelihood of developing DM with higher SII levels (odds ratio, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.09-1.57, P = .003). The Cox model showed that there is a positive association between increased SII and higher all-cause mortality. The hazard ratios for SII were 1.53 (1.31, 1.78), 1.61 (1.31, 1.98), and 1.41 (1.12, 1.78) in the total, DM and non-DM groups, respectively. We observed a linear correlation between SII and all-cause mortality in DM participants, whereas non-DM participants and the total population showed a nonlinear correlation. Conclusion Elevated SII levels are linked to an augmented risk of DM. Those with DM and higher SII levels demonstrated an elevated risk of mortality.

Abstract
Objectives We explored the prognostic utility of the unique combination of C-reactive-protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) and significant weight loss (WL > 5%) over the preceding 6 months, namely, the CARWL score, in stage IIIC non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who underwent concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). Methods For each patient, the CAR was calculated using C-reactive protein and albumin measurements obtained on the first day of CCRT: CAR = C-reactive protein ÷ albumin. The availability of an ideal CAR cutoff that may categorize patients into two distinct progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) outcomes was explored by employing receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Patients were additionally divided into two groups based on their status of significant WL according to the well-recognized Delphi criteria. Then, the CARWL score was created by combining all feasible combinations of the CAR and significant WL groupings. The potential links between pretreatment CARWL groups and the post-CCRT OS and PFS outcomes were determined as the primary and secondary endpoints. Results This retrospective cohort study comprised a total of 651 stage IIIC NSCLC patients. ROC curve analysis indicated that rounded 3.0 was the ideal CAR cutoff (area under the curve (AUC): 70.1%; sensitivity: 67.8%; specificity: 65.9%), which categorized the patients into CAR < 3.0 (N = 324) and CAR ≥ 3.0 (N = 327) groups. There were 308 (47.3%) and 343 (52.7%) patients without and with significant WL, respectively. The created CARWL groups were CARWL-0: CAR < 3.0 and WL ≤ 5.0%; CARWL-1: CAR < 3.0 and WL > 5.0%, or CAR ≥ 3.0 and WL ≤ 5.0%; and CARWL-2: CAR > 3.0 and WL > 5.0%. The Kaplan-Meier curves showed that the PFS (14.2 vs. 11.4 vs. 7.5 months; P < 0.001) and OS (37.3 vs. 23.6 vs. 12.8 months; P < 0.001) durations were gradually and significantly lowered from the CARWL-0 to CARWL-2 groups. The CARWL score's significant impacts on PFS and OS outcomes were found to be independent of the other variables in the multivariate analysis (P < 0.001, for each). Conclusions Our findings indicate that the novel CARWL score, which accounts for pretreatment CAR and significant WL during the preceding 6 months, can reliably stratify newly diagnosed stage IIIC NSCLC patients into three groups with significantly different PFS and OS after definitive CCRT.

Abstract
Cytotoxic adenosine analogues were among the earliest chemotherapeutic agents utilised in cancer treatment. Cordycepin, a natural derivative of adenosine discovered in the fungus Ophiocordyceps sinensis, directly inhibits tumours not only by impeding biosynthesis, inducing apoptosis or autophagy, regulating the cell cycle, and curtailing tumour invasion and metastasis but also modulates the immune response within the tumour microenvironment. Furthermore, extensive research highlights cordycepin's significant therapeutic potential in alleviating hyperlipidaemia and regulating glucose metabolism. This review comprehensively analyses the structure-activity relationship of cordycepin and its analogues, outlines its pharmacokinetic properties, and strategies to enhance its bioavailability. Delving into the molecular biology, it explores the pharmacological mechanisms of cordycepin in tumour suppression and metabolic disorder treatment, thereby underscoring its immense potential in drug development within these domains and laying the groundwork for innovative treatment strategies.

Abstract
PURPOSE The relationship between the levels of Systemic Immune-inflammation Index (SII) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung function, and COPD severity were not fully understood. We conducted this cross-sectional, population-based study to investigate the complex association between SII and COPD, lung function, and COPD severity among the US adults. METHODS Overall, 18,349 participants were included in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2005 and 2018. The exposure variable was SII, calculated from platelet counts, neutrophil counts, and lymphocyte counts. Weighted univariable and multivariable logistic regression, subgroup analysis, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression were performed to assess the relationship between COPD, lung function, COPD severity and SII. Last, we used a propensity score matching (PSM) analysis to reduce selective bias and validate these relationships. RESULTS Approximately 1,094 (5.96%) of the participants were diagnosed as COPD. The multivariable-adjusted odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval, CI) for the Q2 group (Log-SII > 2.740) was 1.39 (1.16 to 1.68). Before and after matching, multivariable logistic regression models revealed that increased Log-SII levels (SII Logarithmic transformation) associated positively with the risk of COPD. The subgroup analysis showed no interaction between Log-SII and a variety of variables (P for interaction > 0.05). RCS showed a reversed L-shaped relationship between Log-SII with COPD (P for nonlinear = 0.001) in individuals. In addition, we observed negative significant correlations between forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) / forced vital capacity (FVC) %, FEV1/FVC% predicted and SII, and reversed U-shaped curve relationships between FEV1, FEV1% predicted and SII. High SII level is associated with severity of COPD, especially at Global Initiative on Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 1 and GOLD 3. CONCLUSIONS In summary, the Log-SII level is associated with COPD risk, lung function, and COPD severity.

Abstract
In prior investigations, a correlation was established between patient outcomes in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) following thoracic irradiation and parameters, such as pre/post-treatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and NLR change (ΔNLR). However, these parameters could potentially be influenced by radiation-related variables, such as gross tumor volume (GTV). The primary aim of this study was to elucidate the factors impacting post-treatment NLR and ΔNLR and to further assess their prognostic relevance. In this retrospective study, a cohort of 188 LA-NSCLC patients who underwent thoracic radiation between 2012 and 2017 was assessed. The calculation of pre/post-treatment NLR involved the use of absolute neutrophil and lymphocyte counts. ΔNLR was defined as the difference between post- and pre-treatment NLR values. To assess the relationships between various variables and overall survival (OS), local progression-free survival (LPFS), and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), the Kaplan-Meier technique and Cox proportional hazards regression were employed. Additionally, Spearman's rank correlation analysis was carried out to investigate correlations between the variables. The analysis revealed that both post-treatment NLR (r = 0.315, P < 0.001) and ΔNLR (r = 0.156, P = 0.032) were associated with GTV. However, OS, LPFS, and DMFS were not independently correlated with pre/post-treatment NLR. ΔNLR, on the other hand, exhibited independent associations with OS and DMFS (HR = 1.054, P = 0.020, and P = 0.046, respectively). Elevated ΔNLR values were linked to poorer OS (P = 0.023) and DMFS (P = 0.018) in the Kaplan-Meier analysis. Furthermore, when stratifying by GTV, a higher ΔNLR remained to be associated with worse OS and DMFS (P = 0.047 and P = 0.035, respectively) in the GTV ≤ 67.41 cm3 group, and in the GTV > 67.41 cm3 group (P = 0.028 and P = 0.042, respectively), highlighting ΔNLR as the sole independent predictive factor for survival and metastasis, irrespective of GTV.

[PMID: 38812771 PMCID: PMC11131347 DOI: 10.2217/lmt-2023-0010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024] Open
Abstract
Aim: The aim of this meta-analysis was to investigate the relationship between the baseline systemic immune inflammatory index (SII) and prognosis in patients with NSCLC. Materials & methods: The relation between pretreatment SII and overall survival, disease-free survival, cancer-specific survival, progression-free survival and recurrence-free survival in NSCLC patients was analyzed combined with hazard ratio and 95% CI. Results: The results showed that high SII was significantly correlated with overall survival and progression-free survival of NSCLC patients, but not with disease-free survival, cancer-specific survival and recurrence-free survival. Conclusion: The study suggests that a higher SII has association with worse prognosis in NSCLC patients. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42022336270.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the prognostic significance of the advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI) in patients with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) undergoing definite chemo-radiotherapy (CRT). We included 87 patients with LS-SCLC from South Korea, treated between 2005 and 2019 with definite CRT. ALI was calculated using body mass index, serum albumin, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio. We categorized 38 patients into the high ALI group (ALI ≥ 44.3) and 48 into the low ALI group (ALI < 44.3). Patients in the high ALI group exhibited longer overall survival (OS) than patients in the low ALI group. In multivariate analysis, prophylactic cranial irradiation (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.366, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.20-0.66, P = 0.0008), and high ALI (HR = 0.475, 95% CI 0.27-0.84, P = 0.0103) were identified as independent prognostic factors for predicting better OS. Notably, a high ALI score was particularly indicative of longer survival in patients treated with the combination of etoposide and cisplatin. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that a high pretreatment ALI was significantly associated with better OS in patients with LS-SCLC undergoing definite CRT. This suggests that ALI could be a useful tool for predicting prognosis and guiding chemotherapy regimen selections in clinical practice for LS-SCLC.

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers globally, with non-small cell lung cancers constituting the majority. These cancers have a high incidence and mortality rate. In recent years, a growing body of research has demonstrated the intricate link between inflammation and cancer, highlighting that inflammation and cancer are inextricably linked and that inflammation plays a pivotal role in cancer development, progression, and prognosis of cancer. The Systemic Immunoinflammatory Index (SII), comprising neutrophil, lymphocyte, and platelet counts, is a more comprehensive indicator of the host's systemic inflammation and immune status than a single inflammatory index. It is widely used in clinical practice due to its cost-effectiveness, simplicity, noninvasiveness, and ease of acquisition. This paper reviews the impact of SII on the development, progression, and prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer.

Abstract
AIM To investigate inflammation indices and erythropoietin levels for their potential role in distinguishing polycythemia vera from secondary polycythemia and to compare different parameter combinations in terms of the diagnostic accuracy. METHODS This retrospective cohort was created from patients assessed for polycythemia from January 2020 to December 2023. Polycythemia vera diagnosis was made according to the 2016 World Health Organization criteria (n = 145). Those who did not fulfill the criteria were defined as having secondary polycythemia (n = 84). RESULTS The neutrophil lymphocyte ratio, platelet lymphocyte ratio and systemic immune-inflammation index were significantly higher in the polycythemia vera group (p < 0.001 for all). Erythropoietin had the highest area under the curve in the analysis to distinguish groups, followed by the systemic immune-inflammation index. The platelet lymphocyte ratio (≥135) had the highest specificity to detect polycythemia vera, followed closely by the systemic immune-inflammation index. The sensitivity for polycythemia vera detection was highest with the erythropoietin and systemic immune-inflammation index combination, followed by erythropoietin and the neutrophil lymphocyte ratio. All the single and combinatory variables exhibited significant performance in predicting polycythemia vera after adjusting for age and sex. However, the erythropoietin and systemic immune-inflammation index combination had the highest odds ratio, followed by erythropoietin alone. CONCLUSION These are promising findings supporting the usability of these biomarkers, especially the systemic immune-inflammation index, as minor criteria in the diagnosis of polycythemia vera. It is especially crucial to note that using erythropoietin in combination with these markers may improve diagnostic accuracy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to look at the relationship between the Systemic Immune Inflammatory Index (SII) and bone mineral density (BMD) in the pelvis, left upper and lower limbs, lumbar spine, thoracic spine, and trunk in a chronic kidney disease (CKD) population in the United States. METHODS The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2011-2016) yielded 2302 people with CKD aged >18 years. CKD was defined as eGFR less than 90 ml/min/1.73 m2 or eGFR greater than 90 ml/min/1.73 m2 with urine ACR greater than 30 mg/L.SII was calculated as PC * (NC / LC) from platelet count (PC), neutrophil count (NC), and lymphocyte count (LC). Multiple logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between BMD and SII at different sites in CKD patients, smoothed curve-fitting and generalized weighting models were used to investigate non-linear relationships, and a two-tailed linear regression model was used to find potential inflection points in the model. RESULTS We discovered a negative correlation between SII and pelvic BMD among 2302 participants after controlling for gender, age, and race [β = -0.008; 95% confidence value -0.008; 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.014, -0.002]. Lower PEBMD was related to increasing SII (trend p = 0.01125). After additional correction, only pelvic BMD remained adversely linked with SII [value -0.006; 95% CI -0.012, -0.000, p = 0.03368]. Smoothed curve fitting revealed a consistent inverse relationship between SII and pelvic BMD. Further stratified analyses revealed a substantial positive negative connection between SII and pelvic BMD in individuals who did not have hypertension, diabetes, a BMI of more than 30 kg/m2, or stage 2 CKD. The connection between SII and PEBMD in people without diabetes revealed a strong inverted U-shaped curve. CONCLUSION In individuals with CKD in the United States, there was a negative connection between the systemic immunoinflammatory index (SII) and pelvic BMD. The SII might be a low-cost and simple test for CKD-related BMD loss.

Abstract
Background Frailty is a significant concern in the field of public health. However, currently, there is a lack of widely recognized and reliable biological markers for frailty. This study aims to investigate the association between systemic inflammatory biomarkers and frailty in the older adult population in the United States. Methods This study employed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2007 to 2018 and conducted a rigorous cross-sectional analysis. We constructed weighted logistic regression models to explore the correlation between the Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII), Systemic Inflammatory Response Index (SIRI), and frailty in the population aged 40 to 80 years. Using restricted cubic spline (RCS), we successfully visualized the relationship between SII, SIRI, and frailty. Finally, we presented stratified analyses and interaction tests of covariates in a forest plot. Results This study involved 11,234 participants, 45.95% male and 54.05% female, with an average age of 64.75 ± 0.13 years. After adjusting for relevant covariates, the weighted logistic regression model indicated an odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval(CI) for the correlation between frailty and the natural logarithm (ln) transformed lnSII and lnSIRI as 1.38 (1.24-1.54) and 1.69 (1.53-1.88), respectively. Subsequently, we assessed different levels of lnSII and lnSIRI, finding consistent results. In the lnSII group model, the likelihood of frailty significantly increased in the fourth quartile (OR = 1.82, 95% CI: 1.55-2.12) compared to the second quartile. In the lnSIRI group model, the likelihood of frailty significantly increased in the third quartile (OR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.10-1.53) and fourth quartile (OR = 2.29, 95% CI: 1.95-2.70) compared to the second quartile. The interaction results indicate that age and income-to-poverty ratio influence the association between lnSIRI and frailty. RCS demonstrated a nonlinear relationship between lnSII, lnSIRI, and frailty. Conclusion The results of this cross-sectional study indicate a positive correlation between systemic inflammatory biomarkers (SII, SIRI) and frailty.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) shows high drug resistance and leads to low survival due to the high level of mutated Tumor Protein p53 (TP53). Cisplatin is a first-line treatment option for NSCLC, and the p53 mutation is a major factor in chemoresistance. We demonstrate that cisplatin chemotherapy increases the risk of TP53 mutations, further contributing to cisplatin resistance. Encouragingly, we find that the combination of cisplatin and fluvastatin can alleviate this problem. Therefore, we synthesize Fluplatin, a prodrug consisting of cisplatin and fluvastatin. Then, Fluplatin self-assembles and is further encapsulated with poly-(ethylene glycol)-phosphoethanolamine (PEG-PE), we obtain Fluplatin@PEG-PE nanoparticles (FP NPs). FP NPs can degrade mutant p53 (mutp53) and efficiently trigger endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). In this study, we show that FP NPs relieve the inhibition of cisplatin chemotherapy caused by mutp53, exhibiting highly effective tumor suppression and improving the poor NSCLC prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We combined the metabolic features of 18F-FDG-PET/CT and hematological inflammatory indicators to establish a predictive model of the outcomes of patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy. RESULTS A predictive nomogram was developed based on sex, CEA, systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), mean SUV (SUVmean), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG). The nomogram presents nice discrimination that yielded an AUC of 0.76 (95% confidence interval: 0.66-0.86) to predict 1-year PFS, with a sensitivity of 63.6%, a specificity of 83.3%, a positive predictive value of 83.7%, and a negative predictive value of 62.9% in the training set. The calibration curves and DCA suggested that the nomogram had good calibration and fit, as well as promising clinical effectiveness in the training set. In addition, survival analysis indicated that patients in the low-risk group had a significantly longer mPFS than those in the high-risk group (16.8 months versus 8.4 months, P < 0.001). Those results were supported by the results in the internal and external test sets. CONCLUSIONS The newly constructed predictive nomogram model presented promising discrimination, calibration, and clinical applicability and can be used as an individualized prognostic tool to facilitate precision treatment in clinical practice.

Abstract
The role of inflammation in disease promotion is significant, yet the precise association between a newly identified inflammatory biomarker and insulin resistance (IR) and mortality remains uncertain. We aim to explore the potential correlation between systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and these factors. We used data from 2011 to 2016 of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, and multivariate logistic regression and restricted cubic spline were employed. Subgroup and interaction analysis were conducted to recognize the consistency of the results. The association between SII and mortality was described by survival analysis. 6734 participants were enrolled, of whom 49.3% (3318) exhibited IR and 7.02% experienced mortality. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that individuals in the highest quartile (Q4) of SII had a significantly increased risk of IR compared to those in the lowest quartile (Q1). We then identified a linear association between SII and IR with an inflection point of 407, but may be influenced by gender. Similarly, compared to Q1, people whose SII at Q4 showed a higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. It showed a significant association between SII and both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, but the results need to be interpreted with caution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a pathological condition characterized by the abnormal clustering of several metabolic components and has become a major public health concern. We aim to investigate the potential link of Systemic immunity-inflammation index (SII) on MetS and its components. METHODS AND RESULT Weighted multivariable logistic regression was conducted to assess the relationship between SII and MetS and its components. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) model and threshold effect analysis were also performed. A total of 6,999 U.S. adults were enrolled. Multivariate model found that SII were positively associated with MetS (OR = 1.18;95CI%:1.07-1.30) and hypertension (OR = 1.22; 95CI%:1.12-1.34) in a dose-dependent manner. When SII was converted into a categorical variable, the risk of MetS increased by 36% and the risk of hypertension increased by 53% in the highest quantile of SIIs. The RCS model confirmed linear associations between SII and MetS, as well as a non-linear association between SII and certain components of MetS, including hypertension, hyperglycemia, low HDL, and hyperlipidemia. Meanwhile, the relationship between SII and hypertension presents a J-shaped curve with a threshold of 8.27, above which the risk of hypertension increases. Furthermore, in MetS and hypertension, age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and race were not significantly associated with this positive association based on subgroup analyses and interaction tests(p for interaction > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The present study indicated that there was a higher SII association with an increased risk of MetS and hypertension in adults. However, further prospective cohort studies are required to establish a causal relationship between SII and MetS, as well as its components.

The association of systemic inflammatory biomarkers with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a large population-based cross-sectional study. Prev Med Rep 2024; 37:102536. [PMID: 38186662 PMCID: PMC10767190 DOI: 10.1016/j.pmedr.2023.102536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the two blood inflammatory markers including the systemic immune-inflammation (SII) index, and the system inflammation response index (SIRI). Methods The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data between the year of 2017-2018 was used for this cross-sectional study. In order to analyze the association of SII index, and SIRI and risk of NAFLD, we used multivariable logistic regression models, restricted cubic spline (RCS) plot, and subgroup analysis to analyze the data. Results In total, there were 1,199 individuals who participated in the survey. As shown by the RCS plot, SII index, and SIRI were linked with NAFLD risk in a U-shaped pattern. With regard to known confounding variables, when comparing the lowest quartile, the odds ratio with 95 % confidence interval for prevalence of NAFLD across the quartiles of SII index and SIRI were (0.89 (0.57, 1.41), 0.56 (0.35, 0.89) and 1.01 (0.64, 1.59)), and (0.77 (0.48, 1.23), 0.79 (0.50, 1.24) and 0.94 (0.60, 1.47)), respectively. Additionally, SII index, and SIRI and NAFLD risk also were U-curve correlated among the participants in age ≥60 years, female, without hypertension, and BMI of ≥30 kg/m2. Conclusions There was a U-shaped association of SII index and SIRI with prevalence of NAFLD, indicating that SII index and SIRI should be monitored dynamically.

High pre-chemoradiotherapy pan-immune-inflammation value levels predict worse outcomes in patients with stage IIIB/C non-small-cell lung cancer. Discov Oncol 2023; 14:230. [PMID: 38091179 PMCID: PMC10719443 DOI: 10.1007/s12672-023-00851-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We explored the prognostic usefulness of the pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) in patients with stage IIIB/C non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who underwent concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). METHODS AND PATIENTS For all patients, the PIV was calculated using platelet (P), monocyte (M), neutrophil (N), and lymphocyte (L) measures obtained on the first day of CCRT: PIV = P × M × N ÷ L. Using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, we searched for the existence of an ideal cutoff that may partition patients into two groups with unique progression-free- (PFS) and overall survival (OS) results. The primary endpoint of this retrospective cohort research was to determine whether there were any significant relationships between pretreatment PIV measures and post-CCRT OS outcomes. RESULTS The present research included a total of 807 stage IIIB/C NSCLC patients. According to ROC curve analysis, the ideal PIV cutoff was 516 [area under the curve (AUC): 67.7%; sensitivity: 66.4%; specificity: 66.1%], which divided the whole cohort into two: low PIV (L-PIV: PIV < 516; N = 436) and high PIV (H-PIV: PIV ≥ 516; N = 371). The comparisons between the PIV groups indicated that either the median PFS (9.2 vs. 13.4 months; P < 0.001) or OS (16.7 vs. 32.7 months; P < 0.001) durations in the H-PIV group were substantially inferior to their L-PIV counterpart. Apart from the H-PIV (P < 0.001), the N3 nodal stage (P = 0.006), IIIC disease stage (P < 0.001), and receiving only one cycle of concurrent chemotherapy (P = 0.005) were also determined to be significant predictors of poor PFS (P < 0.05, for each) and OS (P < 0.05, for each) outcomes in univariate analysis. The multivariate analysis findings revealed that all four variables had independent negative impacts on PFS (P < 0.05, for each) and OS (P < 0.05, for each). CONCLUSIONS The findings of this hypothesis-generating retrospective analysis claimed that the novel PIV was an independent and steadfast predictor of PFS and OS in stage IIIB/C NSCLC patients.

Peripheral blood inflammatory biomarkers dynamics reflect treatment response and predict prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer patients with neoadjuvant immunotherapy. Cancer Sci 2023; 114:4484-4498. [PMID: 37731264 PMCID: PMC10728017 DOI: 10.1111/cas.15964] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Neoadjuvant immunotherapy has significantly changed the therapeutic approach for treating patients with surgically resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here, peripheral blood inflammation-based biomarkers as well as previously less focused eosinophil fraction, modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) were systematically included to comprehensively analyze their potential in predicting neoadjuvant immunotherapy efficacy and prognosis. We enrolled 189 patients (94 in training and 95 in validation cohorts) with stage I-III B surgically resectable NSCLC treated with neoadjuvant immunotherapy from the National Cancer Center of China. Baseline and post-treatment eosinophils fraction, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), PNI, mGPS, and their changes were calculated and analyzed for correlation with neoadjuvant immunotherapy efficacy and prognosis. In patients in the major pathological response (MPR) group, the post-treatment eosinophil fraction was significantly high, and NLR, PLR, SII, and MLR were significantly lower compared to the non-MPR group in both the training and validation cohorts. The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that post-treatment, eosinophil fraction and SII and their changing were two of the most important factors. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that post-treatment eosinophil fraction, SII, mGPS, and ΔSII could independently predict MPR in patients treated with neoadjuvant immunotherapy. Survival analysis showed a significant correlation between high post-treatment NLR, PLR, SII, mGPS, and their changes in ΔNLR and ΔSII elevation with poor overall survival and event-free survival of patients. Our results suggest that inflammatory biomarkers could predict the patient's response to neoadjuvant immunotherapy and prognosis.

BMC Cancer 2023; 23:1158. [PMID: 38012604 PMCID: PMC10683274 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-023-11332-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) are the most common primary neoplasms of the anterior mediastinum. Different risk subgroups of TETs have different prognosis and therapeutic strategies, therefore, preoperative identification of different risk subgroups is of high clinical significance. This study aims to explore the diagnostic efficiency of quantitative computed tomography (CT) parameters combined with preoperative systemic inflammatory markers in differentiating low-risk thymic epithelial tumors (LTETs) from high-risk thymic epithelial tumors (HTETs). METHODS 74 Asian patients with TETs confirmed by biopsy or postoperative pathology between January 2013 and October 2022 were collected retrospectively and divided into two risk subgroups: LTET group (type A, AB and B1 thymomas) and HTET group (type B2, B3 thymomas and thymic carcinoma). Statistical analysis were performed between the two groups in terms of quantitative CT parameters and preoperative systemic inflammatory markers. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent predictors of risk subgroups of TETs. The area under curve (AUC) and optimal cut-off values were calculated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. RESULTS 47 TETs were in LTET group, while 27 TETs were in HTET group. In addition to tumor size and CT value of the tumor on plain scan, there were statistical significance comparing in CT value of the tumor on arterial phase (CTv-AP) and venous phase (CTv-VP), and maximum enhanced CT value (CEmax) of the tumor between the two groups (for all, P < 0.05). For systemic inflammatory markers, HTET group was significantly higher than LTET group (for all, P < 0.05), including platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that NLR (odds ratio [OR] = 2.511, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.322-4.772, P = 0.005), CTv-AP (OR = 0.939, 95%CI: 0.888-0.994, P = 0.031) and CTv-VP (OR = 0.923, 95%CI: 0.871-0.979, P = 0.008) were the independent predictors of risk subgroups of TETs. The AUC value of 0.887 for the combined model was significantly higher than NLR (0.698), CTv-AP (0.800) or CTv-VP (0.811) alone. The optimal cut-off values for NLR, CTv-AP and CTv-VP were 2.523, 63.44 Hounsfeld Unit (HU) and 88.29HU, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Quantitative CT parameters and preoperative systemic inflammatory markers can differentiate LTETs from HTETs, and the combined model has the potential to improve diagnostic efficiency and to help the patient management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the prognostic utility of inflammation-based prognostic scores in patients with ALK-positive metastatic or non-resectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with crizotinib. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 82 patients with ALK-positive metastatic or non-resectable NSCLC who received ALK TKI crizotinib were included. Pre-treatment modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) were calculated. Multivariable logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the impact of pretreatment mGPS, PNI, and SII on overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and objective response rate (ORR). RESULTS The ORR was 77.2%, while 1-year OS and PFS rates were 95.0% and 93.5%, respectively. The univariate analysis revealed significantly higher 1-year PFS (89.4 vs. 64.4%, p=0.043) and OS (92.0 vs. 83.3%, p=0.01) rates in patients with low (<934.7) vs. high (≥934.7) SII scores. Multivariate analysis revealed that PNI ≥0.09 was a significant determinant of poorer 1-year OS rates (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.46, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.88-4.85, p=0.035). No significant difference was observed in survival rates according to gender, age, smoking status, prior lines of therapy, or mGPS scores, while higher mGPS scores (odds ratio [OR]: 0.1, 95%CI 0.16-1.04; p=0.009) and higher PNI scores (OR: 0.16, 95% CI 0.02-0.55; p=0.035) were associated with poorer ORR. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate the prognostic significance of PNI and SII in terms of survival outcome and the impact of mGPS and PNI on treatment response in patients with ALK-positive NSCLC treated with crizotinib.

Prognostic value of the systemic immune-inflammation index in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma after radical nephroureterectomy. World J Surg Oncol 2023; 21:337. [PMID: 37880772 PMCID: PMC10601258 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-023-03225-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/14/2023] [Indexed: 10/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the prognostic significance of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) for patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) and develop nomogram models for predicting overall survival (OS), intravesical recurrence (IVR), and extra-urothelial recurrence (EUR). METHODS We retrospectively studied the clinical and pathological features of 195 patients who underwent RNU for UTUC. All patients were randomly divided into a training cohort (99 cases) and a validation cohort (96 cases). The training cohort was used to develop nomogram models, and the models were validated by the validation cohort. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and Cox regression were performed to identify independent predictors. The concordance index (C-index), receiver operator characteristics (ROC) analysis, and calibration plot were used to evaluate the reliability of the models. The clinical utility compared with the pathological T stage was assessed using the net reclassification index (NRI), integrated discrimination improvement (IDI), and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS SII was an independent risk factor in predicting OS and EUR. The C-index values of the nomogram predicting OS, IVR, and EUR were 0.675, 0.702, and 0.756 in the training cohort and 0.715, 0.756, and 0.713 in the validation cohort. A high level of SII was correlated with the invasion of the mucosa, muscle layer of the ureter, nerves, vessels, and fat tissues. CONCLUSION We developed nomogram models to predict the OS, IVR, and EUR of UTUC patients. The efficacy of these models was substantiated through internal validation, demonstrating favorable discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility. A high level of SII was associated with both worse OS and shorter EUR-free survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a worldwide public health problem, affects human health and quality of life in a dramatic manner. A growing evidence base suggests that MetS is strongly associated with levels of systemic immune inflammation. The present study aimed to investigate the possible relationship between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), a novel inflammatory marker, and MetS to provide data support for effective MetS prevention by reducing the systemic inflammatory response. METHODS We included adult participants with complete SII and MetS information from the 2011-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). MetS was defined as using the criteria developed by the Adult Treatment Program III of the National Cholesterol Education Program. The formula for SII was as follows: SII = platelet counts × neutrophil counts/ lymphocyte counts. Weighted linear regression was used to assess differences in variables across SII quartile groups after the SII score was divided into 4 quartiles. The independent interaction between SII and MetS was investigated using weighted multivariate logistic regression analysis and subgroup analysis, and the relationship between SII levels and 5 particular MetS items was further explored in depth. RESULTS A total of 12,402 participants, 3,489 of whom were diagnosed with MetS, were included in this study. After correcting for covariates, the results of a logistic regression of multistage weighted complex sampling data revealed that participants with higher SII scores had a higher chance of developing MetS (odds ratio (OR) = 1.33, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.14-1.55) and that SII levels could be used as an independent risk factor to predict that likelihood of MetS onset. In the Q1-Q4 SII quartile group, the risk of developing MetS was 1.33 times higher in the Q4 group, which had the highest level of systemic immune inflammation than in the Q1 group. After adjusting for all confounding factors, SII scores were found to have a negative correlation with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (OR = 1.29; 95% CI, 0.99-1.67, P = 0.056) and a significant positive correlation with waist circumference (OR = 2.17; 95% CI, 1.65-2.87, P < 0.001) and blood pressure (BP) (OR = 1.65; 95% CI, 1.20-2.27, P = 0.003). Gender, age, and smoking status were shown to alter the positive association between SII and MetS in subgroup analyses and interaction tests (p for interaction < 0.05). Additionally, we demonstrated a nonlinear correlation between SII and MetS. The findings of the restricted cubic spline indicated that there was an inverted U-shaped association between SII and MetS. CONCLUSIONS Our findings imply that increased SII levels are related to MetS, and SII may be a simple and cost-effective method to identify individuals with MetS. Therefore, protective measures such as early investigation and anti-inflammatory interventions are necessary to reduce the overall incidence of MetS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In view of the limited data on radiotherapy (RT) combined with immunotherapy in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), this study aimed to identify the immune activation effect on different sites and the survival outcomes of radioimmunotherapy at different treatment stages. METHODS Forty-five patients diagnosed with ES-SCLC were included in this retrospective analysis. We collected the overall survival (OS) of the patients,, recorded the blood cell counts before, during, and after RT, and derived blood index ratios such as the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII). The datasets were analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test, Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test and logistic regression. RESULTS Among the selected blood indices, the delta-NLR/PLR/Sll correlated with different irradiated organs, and the mean ranks of these three indices were the lowest in the brain-irradiated group during immunotherapy. Additionally, adjunct first-line immunotherapy with RT demonstrated a significant improvement compared to second- or third-line therapy and subsequent therapies. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that compared to other organs, the strongest immune activation effect occurs with brain RT, and ES-SCLC patients who received radioimmunotherapy (RIT) earlier achieved higher OS rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We sought to determine the prognostic value of the newly developed Global Immune-Nutrition-Inflammation Index (GINI) in patients with stage IIIC non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who underwent definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). METHODS This study was conducted on a cohort of 802 newly diagnosed stage IIIC NSCLC patients who underwent CCRT. The novel GINI created first here was defined as follows: GINI = [C-reactive protein × Platelets × Monocytes × Neutrophils] ÷ [Albumin × Lymphocytes]. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the optimal pre-CCRT GINI cut-off value that substantially interacts with the locoregional progression-free (LRPFS), progression-free (PFS), and overall survival (OS). RESULTS The optimal pre-CCRT GINI cutoff was 1562 (AUC: 76.1%; sensitivity: 72.4%; specificity: 68.2%; Youden index: 0.406). Patients presenting with a GINI ≥ 1562 had substantially shorter median LRPFS (13.3 vs. 18.4 months; p < 0.001), PFS (10.2 vs. 14.3 months; p < 0.001), and OS (19.1 vs. 37.8 months; p < 0.001) durations than those with a GINI < 1562. Results of the multivariate analysis revealed that the pre-CCRT GINI ≥ 1562 (vs. <1562), T4 tumor (vs. T3), and receiving only 1 cycle of concurrent chemotherapy (vs. 2-3 cycles) were the factors independently associated with poorer LRPS (p < 0.05 for each), PFS (p < 0.05 for each), and OS (p < 0.05 for each). CONCLUSION The newly developed GINI index efficiently divided the stage IIIC NSCLSC patients into two subgroups with substantially different median and long-term survival outcomes.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between systemic immune-inflammation (SII) index with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the general population of the United States (U.S.). Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study of subjects in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2017-2018. For the analysis of the association between SII index and risk of NAFLD, the restricted cubic spline (RCS) plot, we performed multivariable logistic regression models and subgroup analysis. In addition, generalized additive models with smooth functions were conducted for the relationship between the SII index and the ZJU index, the BARD score, and the NAFLD fibrosis score. Results There were a total of 1197 individuals in our study. Taking into account known confounding variables, compared with the lowest quartiles, the odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals for NAFLD across the quartiles were 0.923 (0.585, 1.455), 0.563 (0.351, 0.901), and 1.061 (0.669, 1.682), respectively. As shown by the RCS plot, the SII index was linked with NAFLD risk in a U-shaped pattern. Based on the results of subgroup analysis, SII index and NAFLD risk were U-curve correlated among participants in all age groups, male or female, with or without hypertension, with diabetes mellitus, and with a BMI of <30 or >30 kg/m2. The SII index was linearly positive with the ZJU index but negative with the NAFLD fibrosis score. However, the SII index and BARD score showed a trend of first decreasing, then increasing, and then decreasing. Conclusion The U-shaped relationships exist between SII index and risk of NAFLD, which highlighted that we should focus on the dynamic change of SII index.

Abstract
Background We aimed to investigate the predictive value of a systematic serum inflammation index, pan-immune-inflammatory value (PIV), in pathological complete response (pCR) of patients treated with neoadjuvant immunotherapy to further promote ideal patients' selection. Methods The clinicopathological and baseline laboratory information of 128 NSCLC patients receiving neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy between October 2019 and April 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. We performed least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm to screen candidate serum biomarkers for predicting pCR, which further entered the multivariate logistic regression model to determine final biomarkers. Accordingly, a diagnostic model for predicting individual pCR was established. Kaplan-Meier method was utilized to estimate curves of disease-free survival (DFS), and the Log rank test was analyzed to compare DFS differences between patients with and without pCR. Results Patients with NSCLC heterogeneously responded to neoadjuvant immunotherapy, and those with pCR had a significant longer DFS than patients without pCR. Through LASSO and the multivariate logistic regression model, PIV was identified as a predictor for predicting pCR of patients. Subsequently, a diagnostic model integrating with PIV, differentiated degree and histological type was constructed to predict pCR, which presented a satisfactory predictive power (AUC, 0.736), significant agreement between actual and our nomogram-predicted pathological response. Conclusion Baseline PIV was an independent predictor of pCR for NSCLC patients receiving neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy. A significantly longer DFS was achieved in patients with pCR rather than those without pCR; thus, the PIV-based diagnostic model might serve as a practical tool to identify ideal patients for neoadjuvant immunotherapeutic guidance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The systemic inflammatory response (SIR) is known as an important factor associated with tumorigenesis and tumor progression, and can be reflected by inflammatory markers. One of the markers that reflect this is the lung immune prognostic index (LIPI). It is based on a derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level. We aimed to investigate the significance of LIPI in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) patients treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT). METHODS In this retrospective study, we stratified the patients according to LIPI score as good LIPI and intermediate (int)/poor LIPI. According to pathological response to NACRT, we divided the patients into two groups as those with complete response (CR) or near-CR, and those with partial response (PR) or poor/no response. We classified CR and near-CR as good response. We evaluated the predictive and prognostic significance of LIPI for NACRT response, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) by univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS We included 137 patients in the results, with 72 (52.6%) having good LIPI and 65 (47.4%) having int/poor LIPI. The median follow-up period was 44.7 months (range: 10-105 months). Thirteen patients (18.0%) in the good LIPI group and 22 patients (34.0%) in the int/poor LIPI group achieved good response. In multivariate analysis, we found only the LIPI score as an independent risk factor (hazard ratio (HR): 2.4, p = 0.04) for NACRT response. Median DFS was 89.2 months (95% CI: 11.4-167.0) in the int/poor LIPI group; however, the DFS of all study populations and patients in the good LIPI group did not reach the median value. In multivariate analysis for DFS, we identified abdominoperineal resection (APR) (HR: 2.21, p = 0.02), presence of tumor deposit (HR: 2.96, p = 0.003), and int/poor LIPI score (HR: 2.07, p = 0.02) as separate risk variables. OS of all study populations and the patients in the LIPI groups did not reach the median value. In multivariate analysis for OS, we identified APR (HR: 2.74, p = 0.02), surgical margin positivity (HR: 12.94, p < 0.001), and adjuvant CT (HR: 0.20, p = 0.002) as separate risk variables for OS. CONCLUSION This is the first study investigating the predictive and prognostic significance of LIPI in LARC patients treated with NACRT. The results revealed that int/poor LIPI was associated with a higher rate of good response but shorter DFS compared to good LIPI. The baseline LIPI score serves as an easily accessible and useful prognostic index, and it has significant potential for making appropriate treatment decisions in LARC.

Abstract
Background A series of novel inflammation-related indexes has been confirmed to be efficient indicators of human immune and inflammatory status, with great potential as predictors for a variety of diseases. However, the association between inflammation-related indexes and sex hormones in the general population remained uncertain. Methods We incorporated data from the NHANES 2013-2016 survey of American adults. On the basis of distribution and comparison analysis, we chose to undertake separate analyses of men and women (including premenopausal and postmenopausal groups). Multivariable weighted linear regression models, eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) models, generalized linear analysis, stratified models, logistic regression models and sensitivity analysis were utilized to assess the relationships between inflammation-related indexes and sex hormones. Results Total 9372 participants out of 20146 were fitted into our research. We conducted separate gender analysis due to different distribution. Multivariable weighted linear regression indicated every component of the inflammation-related index was negatively correlated with at least one component of the male hormone indexes. However, SII, NLR, PPN, and NC were associated positively with female estradiol. XGBoost identify SII, PLR and NLR were the critical indexes on sex hormones. Inflammation-related indexes was associated with Testosterone deficiency in male and postmenstrual group and associated with Excessive Estradiol in premenstrual group. Finally, the subgroup analysis revealed that the association between sex hormones and inflammatory indicators was prominent in American adults over the age of 60 or those with BMI (>28 kg/m2). Conclusion In all, inflammation-related indexes act as independent risks associated with sex hormone alterations and metabolic disorder in both genders. Using multiple models, we revealed the relative importance of inflammation-related indexes. Subgroup analysis also identified the high-risk population. More prospective and experimental research should be conducted to validate the results.

Abstract
Background Prior studies suggest lymphopenia, systemic immune-inflammatory index, and tumor response all impact clinical outcomes in Stage III NSCLC. We hypothesized that tumor response after CRT would be associated with hematologic metrics and might predict clinical outcomes. Materials and Methods Patients with stage III NSCLC treated at a single institution between 2011 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Pre-treatment gross tumor volume (GTV) was recorded then reassessed at 1-4 months post-CRT. Complete blood counts before, during and after treatment were recorded. Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) was defined as neutrophil × platelet/lymphocyte. Overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) were calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimates, and compared with Wilcoxon tests. A multivariate analysis of hematologic factors impacting restricted mean survival was then performed using pseudovalue regression, accounting for other baseline factors. Results 106 patients were included. After median follow-up of 24 months, median PFS and OS were 16 and 40 months, respectively. Within the multivariate model, baseline SII was associated with OS (p = 0.046) but not PFS (p = 0.09), and baseline ALC correlated with both PFS and OS (p = 0.03 and p = 0.02, respectively). Nadir ALC, nadir SII, and recovery SII were not associated with PFS or OS. Conclusion In this cohort of patients with stage III NSCLC, baseline hematologic factors were associated with clinical outcomes including baseline ALC, baseline SII and recovery ALC. Disease response was not well correlated with hematologic factors or clinical outcomes.
