Abstract
INTRODUCTION In this study, we investigated the correlation and clinical significance of peripheral blood leukocytes, neutrophils, C-reactive protein (CRP), and procalcitonin (PCT) in patients with acute urticaria. METHODS Complete blood count with differential, CRP, and PCT tests were conducted on patients with acute urticaria. A total of 614 patients with acute urticaria were divided into three groups: the first group consisted of patients with elevated leukocyte and neutrophil count, the second group consisted of patients with normal leukocyte and neutrophil count, and the third group consisted of patients with abnormal leukocyte and neutrophil count. A correlation analysis was conducted to investigate the levels of leukocytes, neutrophils, CRP, and PCT in the three groups. RESULTS The results of Kruskal-Wallis' nonparametric test revealed statistically significant variations in leukocytes, neutrophils, CRP, and PCT among the three groups (p < 0.001). However, CRP and PCT showed no statistically significant differences between the second and third groups (p < 0.001, p = 0.0041, p = 0.0032). Additional multiple comparisons in Spearman correlation analysis indicated statistically significant differences (p = 0.55). Across all groups, there was a statistically significant difference in the correlation between CRP-PCT and leukocytes-neutrophils (p = 0.53). CONCLUSION Leukocytes and neutrophils are sensitive to the impact of medications and stress on the body. Combining CRP and PCT, as well as routine blood test, may be a comprehensive assessment of infection presence and severity in patients, providing guidance for antibiotic treatment.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to examine the effect of empagliflozin on cardiac function in rats with chronic heart failure and the possible mechanism. Forty 6-week-old male SD rats were randomly divided into the control group, empagliflozin treatment group, and sham-operated group. SD rats in the control group and empagliflozin treatment group were subjected to ligation of the anterior descending coronary artery to induce an acute myocardial infarction model. SD rats in the sham-operated group were only subjected to threading of the anterior descending branch of the coronary artery without ligation. On the second day after surgery, the control group and sham operation group were given physiological saline by gavage, while the empagliflozin treatment group was given empagliflozin (30 mg/kg/day) by gavage. Sixteen weeks later, cardiac function, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), serum brain natriuretic peptide, hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), iNOS expression levels, and myocardial morphological changes were observed. Compared with that in the control group, heart function in the empagliflozin-treated group was significantly improved, MMP was increased, intracellular ROS levels were decreased, and NT-proBNP and hs-CRP were significantly reduced, and HE staining showed that the cell oedema was less than that in the control group, tissue arrangement was more orderly, and iNOS expression was inhibited. Empagliflozin can improve cardiac function in rats with chronic heart failure, and the mechanism may involve inhibiting inflammation, reducing myocardial oxidative stress, and improving myocardial fibrosis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate whether hypersensitive C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP), homocysteine, fibrinogen, and omentin-1 could predict gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk. Methods: Case-control study was conducted at Hengshui People's Hospital. The GDM group included data about 150 patients aged between 22 and 35 years in 24-28 weeks. An equivalent comparative control group without GDM was composed of the same pool of patients. Body mass index (BMI), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) 0-2h, hs-CRP, homocysteine, fibrinogen, and omentin-1 levels were studied in the serum samples of research groups. Univariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors of GDM. The area under the curve (AUC) was calculated by the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) to analyze the predictive values. Results: Hs-CRP, homocysteine, and fibrinogen in GDM group were significantly higher than those in non-GDM group. Omentin-1 were significantly lower than those in non-GDM group. Logistic regression showed that hs-CRP, homocysteine, fibrinogen, and omentin-1 were risk factors for GDM. The AUC of the established GDM risk prediction model was 0.977, and the sensitivity and specificity were 92.10% and 98.70%, respectively; which were greater than that of hs-CRP, homocysteine, fibrinogen, and omentin-1 alone. Conclusions: Hs-CRP, homocysteine, fibrinogen, and omentin-1 in pregnancy have important clinical value for the prediction of GDM. We used these laboratory indications to establish a GDM risk prediction model that allows for early detection and treatment of GDM, lowering the morbidity of maternal and infant complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between Hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in elderly community-dwelling patients with hypertension. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted, involving the recruitment of 365 elderly hypertensive residents ≥ 65 years of age from five communities. The participants were divided into two groups: an LVH group (n = 134) and a non-LVH group (n = 231), based on the left ventricular mass index (LVMI) determined by echocardiography. Spearman correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between hs-CRP and LVH. Univariate and Multivariate analysis was performed to detect variables associated with LVH. The diagnostic value of hs-CRP for LVH was expressed as the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. RESULTS The incidence of LVH in elderly hypertension patients in the community was 36.7%. The hs-CRP levels were significantly higher in subjects with LVH compared to those without LVH (1.9 [0.8, 2.9] vs. 0.7 [0.4, 1.4], P = 0.002). Spearman correlation analysis demonstrated a positive correlation between hs-CRP and LVMI (r = 0.246, P < 0.001), as well as with IVST (r = 0.225, P < 0.001) and LVPWT (r = 0.172, P = 0.001). Among elderly hypertensive residents in the community, the cut-off value of hs-CRP for diagnosing LVH was 1.25 mg/L (sensitivity: 57.5%; specificity: 78.4%), and the area under the ROC curve for hs-CRP to predict LVH was 0.710 (95%CI: 0.654-0.766; P < 0.001). In the final model, hs-CRP ≥ 1.25 mg/L (OR = 3.569; 95%CI, 2.153-5.916; P<0.001) emerged as an independent risk factor for LVH. This association remained significant even after adjusting for various confounding factors (adjusted OR = 3.964; 95%CI, 2.323-6.765; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This community-based cohort of elderly hypertensive individuals demonstrates a strong association between hs-CRP levels and the presence of LVH. The hs-CRP ≥ 1.25 mg/L may serve as an independent predictor for LVH in hypertensive subjects and exhibit good diagnostic efficacy for LVH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with post-stroke depression (PSD) in diabetes, the situation may be more complex, requiring simultaneous treatment of blood glucose, depressive symptoms, and neurological dysfunction. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy can improve tissue oxygen content and improve the situation of ischemia and hypoxia, thus playing a role in protecting brain cells and restoring the function of brain cells. However, there are few studies on HBO therapy for patients with PSD. This study explores the clinical efficacy of such therapy for stroke complicated with depression and diabetes mellitus, and to provide reference and basis for clinical treatment and development through the application of relevant rating scales and laboratory test indicators.
AIM To evaluate the clinical effects of HBO therapy on patients with diabetes with PSD.
METHODS A total of 190 diabetic patients with PSD were randomly divided into observation and control groups (95 patients per group). The control group received escitalopram oxalate 10mg once a day for eight weeks. In addition, the ob-servation group was also given HBO therapy, once a day, five times a week, for eight weeks. The Montgomery Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), hypersensitive C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and fasting glucose levels were compared.
RESULTS There were no significant differences in age, sex, or depression course between the groups (P > 0.05). After HBO treatment, MADRS scores in both groups decreased significantly (14.3 ± 5.2), and were significantly lower in the control group (18.1 ± 3.5). After HBO treatment, NIHSS scores in both groups decreased significantly, and scores in the observation group (12.2 ± 4.0) decreased more than in the control group (16.1 ± 3.4), the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001). The levels of hypersensitive C-reactive protein and TNF-α in both groups were significantly decreased, and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group (P < 0.001). Fasting blood glucose levels in both groups decreased significantly, and those in the observation group decreased more (8.02 ± 1.10) than in the control group (9.26 ± 1.04), with statistical significance (t = -7.994, P < 0.001).
CONCLUSION HBO therapy can significantly improve depressive symptoms and neurological dysfunction in patients with PSD, and reduce the levels of hypersensitive C-reactive protein, TNF-α and fasting blood glucose.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Randomized controlled trials confirm that risks of residual cholesterol and residual inflammation remains in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) even after lipid-lowering therapy. This study aims to investigate the association between dual residual risk of cholesterol and inflammation and all-cause mortality in a real-world population with CVD. METHODS Patients with a CVD history who first took statins between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2017 in the Kailuan Study were selected as study participants. According to low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and hypersensitive C-reactive protein levels, patients were divided into those with no residual risk, residual inflammatory risk (RIR), residual cholesterol risk (RCR), and residual cholesterol and inflammatory risk (RCIR). Cox proportional hazard model was conducted to determine hazard ratio (HR) of all-cause mortality for RIR, RCR, and RCIR. Stratified analysis was conducted according to good medication adherence and 75% of the percentage LDL-C decline, high SMART 2 risk score, and blood pressure and blood glucose at standard levels. RESULTS After 6.10 years of follow-up, 377 all-cause deaths occurred in 3509 participants (mean age 63.69 ± 8.41 years, 86.78% men). After adjusting for related risk factors, the HR and (95% confidence interval [CI]) of all-cause mortality in the RIR, RCR, and RCIR was 1.63 (1.05, 2.52), 1.37 (0.98, 1.90), and 1.75 (1.25, 2.46), compared with no residual risk. Similar associations were observed in participants with moderate or low statin compliance, a lower percentage of LDL-C decline, high SMART 2 risk score, uncontrolled blood pressure, and uncontrolled blood glucose, in the RCIR had a 1.66-fold, 2.08-fold, 1.69-fold, 2.04-fold, and 2.05-fold higher risk of all-cause mortality, respectively, than the reference. CONCLUSION Risks of residual cholesterol and residual inflammation remain in patients with CVD after receiving statins, and their combined effect significantly increases the risk of all-cause mortality. Here, this increased risk was dependent on statin compliance, LDL-C reduction, SMART 2 risk score, and blood pressure and blood glucose control.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship among inflammatory cytokines including hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and platelet distribution width (PDW) in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS Data on 191 pregnant women (96 women with GDM; 95 healthy controls) were extracted from routine prenatal examination records in Nanjing, China. Fasting concentrations of hs-CRP, IL-6, HbA1c, blood cell indices, and glucose at 24-28th gestational weeks were determined. RESULTS The levels of hs-CRP, IL-6, FPG, PG1h, PG2h, HbA1c, RBC, and PDW significantly were increased (P < 0.05) in GDM group. hs-CRP had a positive correlation with HbA1c and PLT (P < 0.05). The odds ratios of HbA1c and PDW were 7.817 (95% CI 1.921-31.816, P = 0.004) and 1.523 (95% CI 1.158-2.002, P = 0.003), respectively. Furthermore, AUC of the combined diagnosis of GDM including HbA1c, FPG, and PDW reached 0.754, with specificity of 80.0% and sensitivity of 60.4%. CONCLUSION Our findings support that elevated levels of hs-CRP, IL-6, HbA1c, and PDW at 24-28th gestational weeks even within the conventional normal range, may be implicated in the pathogenesis of GDM and their evaluation should be part of prenatal care routine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prompt and effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can promote the recovery of spontaneous circulation to some extent and can save patients’ lives. The minimum target of cardiac resuscitation is the restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). However, owing to prolonged sudden cardiac arrest, there is relatively high mortality within 24 h after cardiac resuscitation. Moreover, severe cerebral anoxia can deteriorate the prognosis of patients. Therefore, it is important to adopt an effective clinical evaluation of acute myocardial infarct (AMI) patients’ prognosis after cardiac resuscitation for the purpose of prevention and management.
AIM To investigate early CPR effects on human myeloperoxidase (MPO), soluble ST2 (sST2), and hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in AMI patients.
METHODS In total, 54 patients with cardiac arrest caused by AMI in our hospital were selected as the observation group, and 50 other patients with AMI were selected as the control group. The differences in serum levels of MPO, sST2, and hs-CRP between the observation group and the control group were tested, and the differences in the serum levels of MPO, sST2, and hs-CRP in ROSC and non-ROSC patients, and in patients who died and in those who survived, were analyzed.
RESULTS Serum levels of MPO, sST2, hs-CRP, lactic acid, creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Serum levels of MPO, sST2, hs-CRP, lactic acid, CK-MB, and cTnI in the observation group were lower after CPR than before CPR (P < 0.05). In the observation group, MPO, sST2, hs-CRP, lactic acid, CK-MB, and cTnI serum levels were lower in ROSC patients than in non-ROSC patients (P < 0.05). MPO, sST2, hs-CRP, and lactic acid serum levels of patients who died in the observation group were higher than those of patients who survived (P < 0.05). The areas under receiver operating characteristic curve predicted by MPO, sST2, hs-CRP, lactic acid, CK-MB, and cTnI were 0.616, 0.681, 0.705, 0.704, 0.702, and 0.656, respectively (P < 0.05). The areas under receiver operating characteristic curve for MPO, SST2, hs-CRP, and lactic acid to predict death were 0.724, 0.800, 0.689, and 0.691, respectively (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that MPO, sST2, and hs-CRP were the influencing factors of ROSC [odds ratios = 1.667, 1.589, and 1.409, P < 0.05], while MPO, sST2, hs-CRP, and lactic acid were the influencing factors of death (odds ratios = 1.624, 1.525, 1.451, and 1.365, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION Serum levels of MPO, sST2, hs-CRP, and lactic acid have a certain value in predicting recovery and prognosis of patients with ROSC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly become a major international public health concern. This study was designed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of COVID-19-associated liver injury. METHODS A fraction of 657 COVID-19 patients were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical and laboratory data were derived from electronic medical records and compared between patients with or without liver injury. Multivariate logistic regression method was used to analyze the risk factors for liver injury. RESULTS Among 657 patients, 303 (46.1%) patients had liver injury with higher rate in severe/critically ill patients [148/257 (57.6%)] than those in moderate cases [155/400 (38.8%)]. The incidence of liver injury was much higher in male [192/303 (63.4%)] than female [111/303 (36.6%)], and in severe/critical patients [148/303 (48.8%)] with percutaneous oxygen saturation ≤ 93% [89/279 (31.9%)] or peak body temperature ≥ 38.5 °C [185/301 (61.5%)] on admission. Liver injury-related inflammations included increased white blood cells, neutrophils and decreased lymphocytes. More patients with liver injury than without had increased serum IL-2R, TNFα, ferritin, hsCRP, PCT, ESR, γ-GT, and LDH. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that increasing odds of liver injury were related to male, higher serum hsCRP (≥ 10 mg/L), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (≥ 5). Moreover, more deceased patients (14/82 (17%)) had significantly elevated serum TBIL than discharged patients [25/532 (4.7%)]. CONCLUSION Liver injury is a common complication in COVID-19 patients. The potential risk factors of liver injury include male, hsCRP and NLR score. A close monitor of liver function should be warned in COVID-19 patients, especially in severe/critical individuals.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship of plasma albumin and hypersensitive C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) with 5-year all-cause mortality among Chinese older adults aged 65 and older. Method: Data was collected in 8 longevity areas of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) study conducted by Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and Peking University at baseline survey in 2012 and 2014, the participants enrolled in 2012 was followed-up in 2014 and 2017, the participants enrolled in 2014 was followed-up in 2017 only. Finally, 3 118 older adults aged 65 and older with complete information on albumin, Hs-CRP and body mass index (BMI) were included in this study. Plasma samples of older adults were collected for the detection of albumin and Hs-CRP at baseline survey. Survival status and follow-up time was recorded for all participants. All older adults were divided into 4 groups according to the levels of plasma albumin and Hs-CRP, and Cox proportional hazard models were constructed to assess their influence on the risk of all-cause mortality. Results: Among 3 118 older adults included, the prevalence of hypoalbuminemia was 10.1% (316/3 118), and was 22.8% (711/3 118) for elevated Hs-CRP. During 10 132 person-years of follow-up, 1 212 participants died. Participants with hypoalbuminemia had increased risk of all-cause mortality, with an hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidential interval (CI) of 1.18 (1.01-1.38), compared to participants with normal plasma albuminemia; participants with elevated Hs-CRP had increased risk of all-cause mortality, with an HR (95%CI) of 1.18 (1.04-1.35), compared to participants with normal plasma Hs-CRP. Participants with normal plasma albumin and elevated Hs-CRP, with hypoalbuminemia and normal Hs-CRP, with hypoalbuminemia and elevated Hs-CRP also had increased risk of all-cause mortality when compared to those with normal plasma albumin and normal Hs-CRP, the HR (95%CI) were 1.16 (1.01-1.34), 1.11 (0.91-1.37) and 1.43 (1.11-1.83), respectively. Conclusion: Hypoalbuminemia and elevated Hs-CRP were responsible for increased risk of 5-year all-cause mortality among Chinese older adults from 8 longevity areas.
