Aim: Multi-frequency bioimpedance analysis (MFBIA) is used to measure lymphedema, but it is a biomarker that is sensitive to stiffness. Lymphedema is a condition that can be accompanied by stiffness, but no studies have considered this, so we tried to use non-invasive elastography as a biomarker for stiffness.Methods & results: This retrospective study included 102 patients with lymphedema, divided into two groups according to the elastography strain ratio: stiff group (elastography strain ratio <0.7, n = 48) and non-stiff group (elastography strain ratio >0.7, n = 54). We estimated the volume of the affected arm based the extracellular water (ECW) volume calculated using MFBIA through a simple linear regression method. The adjusted R2 was 0.044 in the stiff group and 0.729 in the non-stiff group. Stepwise multivariate linear regression was used to investigate the significant factors for estimating the affected arm volume for each group. In the non-stiff group, the significantly associated factors were impedance at 50 kHz, weight, and height (adjusted R2 = 0.724; p = 0.003). In the stiff group, significant associations were observed among impedance at 250 kHz, impedance at 1 kHz, weight, and height (adjusted R2 = 0.705, p = 0.041).Conclusion: Considering the characteristics of lymphedema, using MFBIA concurrently with elastography can be useful biomarker for estimating lymphedema.

Aim: This study aimed long-term prognostic factors for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease, focusing on inflammatory parameters like Pan Immune-Inflammation Value (PIV) and Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII).Materials & methods: This retrospective, observational study involved 121 patients receiving unprotected LMCA PCI.The study's primary end point was MACE, including all-cause death, repeat revascularization and myocardial reinfarction.Results: The PIV and SII scores emerged as independent predictors of MACE occurrence in patients undergoing PCI for unprotected LMCA disease (p:0.045,p:0.048;respectively).In addition, age, ejection fraction, creatinine, shock presentation and the residual syntax score were identified as significant independent predictors of MACE in both models.Conclusion: This study showed a significant, independent correlation between PIV, SII and MACE in patients undergoing PCI for LMCA disease, with PIV showing slightly better predictive capability than SII.

Aim: Higher nitric oxide (NO) levels correlate with adverse sepsis outcomes but are challenging to measure. Methemoglobin (MetHb), a measurable product of NO, has not been utilized for risk stratification.Methodology: All patients with sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) that had at least one MetHb measurement within 24 h of ICU admission were retrospectively analyzed. We assessed the epidemiology and associations of MetHb with hospital mortality.Results: Among 7724 patients, 1046 qualified. Those with MetHb ≥1.6% showed significantly higher mortality and fewer days alive outside the hospital by day 28. MetHb levels ≥1.6% independently predicted increased 28-day mortality.Conclusion: Our findings suggest MetHb, easily obtainable from arterial blood gases, can significantly enhance sepsis risk stratification.

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the value of inflammatory markers for atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence prediction after cryo-balloon ablation (CA).Materials & methods: The study included 399 patients divided into two groups by AF recurrence after CA. Inflammatory markers including uric acid/albumin ratio (UAR), systemic immune inflammation index (SIII) and CRP/albumin ratio (CAR) were evaluated.Results: UAR, SIII, and CAR were independently associated with the risk of recurrence in AF patients following CA. In ROC curve analysis, CAR had a greater area under curve (AUC:0.73) value than either SIII (AUC:0.68) or UAR (AUC:0.64).Conclusion: Our study results indicate that CAR compared with SIII and UAR had a greater predictive value than others inflammatory markers in predicting AF recurrence post-CA.

Background: Long non-coding (lnc) RNAs have crucial regulatory roles in molecular pathways, and their dysregulation is associated with the pathogenesis of malignancies such as Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Therefore, we aimed to study the NEAT1 and CHROMR expression in DLBCL and explore their association with clinicopathological characteristics.Methods & materials: DLBCL and non-tumor lymph node specimens were obtained to assess the expression levels.Results: NEAT1 and CHROMR expressions were significantly increased in DLBCL, and were linked with the age of DLBCL patients (aged >60). NEAT1 and CHROMR overexpression may serve as moderate-to-good diagnostic biomarkers, with NEAT1 and CHROMR exhibiting area under the curve values of 0.781 and 0.831, respectively.

Aim: Investigating the impact of nutritional and inflammatory status, assessed by the Naples-Prognostic-Score (NPS), on postoperative mortality in 173 older adults undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement(SAVR) for aortic stenosis(AS).Methods: Retrospective study calculating NPS from neutrophils/lymphocytes, lymphocytes/monocytes, total cholesterol and serum albumin.Results: Mean age was 69.39 ± 6.153 with 45.1% females. The post-operative mortality was 23.7% over a follow-up period of 50 ± 31 months. The 1-month mortality rate is 2.89%. High NPS significantly associated with increased mortality; multivariate logistic regression confirmed its independence (odds-ratio:3.494, 95% confidence-interval:1.555-7.849, p = 0.002). NPS cutoff of 2 showed 73.2% sensitivity, 56.8% specificity and area-under-the-curve of 0.758 for predicting all-cause mortality. Kaplan-Meier analysis supported lower NPS correlating with better survival.Conclusion: NPS independently predicts postoperative mortality in SAVR patients.

Aim: A laboratory finding in critically ill COVID-19 patients is blood academia (pH <7.35). We investigated its cause in connection with the admission baseline blood pH homeostasis.Patients & methods: We retrospectively monitored the baseline blood pH homeostasis of 1215 COVID-19 patients who were admitted with pneumonia using data-driven knowledge. Two categories of patients were identified: non-survivors (107) and survivors (1108).Results: Non-survivors showed greater levels of lactate and lower blood pH, saturation, and partial pressure of oxygen than survivors. A bivariate Spearman's correlation matrix showed that the [HCO3-]/pCO2 and pCO2 of non-survivors exhibited an unmatched connection, but not in the survivor group. When comparing non-survivors to survivors, the dendrograms derived from the bivariate comparison matrix showed differences in gasometry parameters like blood pH, [HCO3-]/pCO2 ratio, anion gap and pO2.Conclusion: The little variations in the gasometry readings between survivors and non-survivors upon admission suggested abnormal changes in the complementary renal and respiratory systems that bring blood pH back to normal. In advanced COVID-19, modest blood acid-base imbalances could become blood acidemia if these compensatory strategies were overused. Data-driven monitoring of acid-base parameters may help predict abnormal blood pH and the advancement of metabolic acidemia before it is too late.

We investigated its cause in connection with the admission baseline blood pH homeostasis.Patients & methods: We retrospectively monitored the baseline blood pH homeostasis of 1215 COVID-19 patients who were admitted with pneumonia using data-driven knowledge. Two categories of patients were identified: non-survivors (107) and survivors (1108).Results: Non-survivors showed greater levels of lactate and lower blood pH, saturation, and partial pressure of oxygen than survivors. A bivariate Spearman's correlation matrix showed that the [HCO3-]/pCO2 and pCO2 of non-survivors exhibited an unmatched connection, but not in the survivor group. When comparing non-survivors to survivors, the dendrograms derived from the bivariate comparison matrix showed differences in gasometry parameters like blood pH, [HCO3-]/pCO2 ratio, anion gap and pO2.Conclusion: The little variations in the gasometry readings between survivors and non-survivors upon admission suggested abnormal changes in the complementary renal and respiratory systems that bring blood pH back to normal. In advanced COVID-19, modest blood acid-base imbalances could become blood acidemia if these compensatory strategies were overused. Data-driven monitoring of acid-base parameters may help predict abnormal blood pH and the advancement of metabolic acidemia before it is too late.","PeriodicalId":9182,"journal":{"name":"Biomarkers in medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142203883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
