Abstract Objectives A tension headache is the most common type of headache, and its causes are multifactorial. A relationship has been shown between migraine headaches and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and C-reactive protein (CRP). In this study, we investigated the NLR, PLR, and serum CRP levels in frequent episodic tension-type headache (FETTH) and chronic tension-type headache (CTTH) patients. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included 64 patients with FETTH, 80 patients with CTTH, and 60 healthy controls who were followed up in the neurology clinic. Hematological parameters were compared between the patient and control groups. Results In CTTH patients, platelets, NLR, PLR, and CRP values were statistically higher than in FETTH patients and patients in the control group. In FETTH patients, the PLR value was higher than in patients in the control group, but there was no statistically significant difference in NLR and CRP values between FETTH patients and patients in the control group. Also, there was no correlation between these values and age and gender. Conclusion Increase platelet count might have an effect on tension-type headache pathophysiology. Systemic inflammation parameters were shown to be significantly higher in CTTH patients. More comprehensive studies are needed to evaluate the effect of systemic inflammation on the chronicity of tension headaches.

BackgroundInflammation is widely considered an important hallmark of cancer and associated with poor postoperative survival. The objective of this study is to assess the significance of preoperative C-NLR, a new inflammation-based index that includes preoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), on therapeutic outcomes for bladder cancer (BC) patients after radical cystectomy (RC).Materials and MethodsBC patients who underwent RC between 2010 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed from our medical center. The predictive effect of CRP, NLR, and C-NLR on the survival of BC patients were analyzed by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The relationship between C-NLR and postoperative survival was investigated by Cox regression. The corresponding nomograms were built based on the Cox regression results of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS), which were further validated by ROC curves, decision curve analysis (DCA) curves, and calibration curves.ResultsOf the 199 eligible patients, 83 (41.70%) were classified as high C-NLR group and the remaining 116 (58.30%) were classified as low C-NLR group. ROC analysis showed that C-NLR had the largest area under curve (AUC) compared to CRP and NLR. Multivariate analysis revealed that T-stage and C-NLR [high C-NLR vs. low C-NLR, hazard ratio (HR) = 2.478, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.538–3.993, p < 0.001] were independent predictors of OS, whereas T-stage, M-stage, and C-NLR (high C-NLR vs. low C-NLR, HR = 2.817, 95% CI, 1.667–4.762, p < 0.001) were independent predictors of DFS. ROC and DCA analysis demonstrated better accuracy and discrimination of 3- and 5-year OS and DFS with C-NLR-based nomogram compared to TNM stage. The calibration curve reconfirmed the accurate predicting performance of nomograms.ConclusionC-NLR is a reliable predictor of long-term prognosis of BC patients after RC and will contribute to the optimization of individual therapy for BC patients.

e15505 Background: Inflammation seems to be significant factor in carcinogenesis and tumor progression of numerous cancers. Blood calculated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), C-reactive protein (CRP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), international normalized ratio (INR) can be evaluated as systemic inflammation markers and prognostic biomarker for many aims: survival outcomes, lymph node metastasis and recurrence, treatment responses in a variety of cancers. The purpose of this study was to investigate baseline associations between blood test parameters (NLR, PLR, LDH, CRP, INR) and their prognostic biomarker role for patient with metastatic gastric cancer, undergoing first-line chemotherapy Methods: Potential baseline inflammatory markers (platelets, neutrophils, lymphocytes, the platelet-lymphocyte ratio, the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, the serum C-reactive protein [CRP], the serum LDH, INR) were retrospectively analyzed in 32 patients with metastatic gastric cancer, IV stage (median of age – 60,50). Multivariate analyses were used to identify prognostic factors for overall survival (OS). Baseline values were compared with tumor characteristic and median survival times (MSTs). Results: Multivariate analysis identified due to Cox proportional-hazards regression showed significant longest OS in patients with: localization of primary tumor in antral part of gastric (HR 0,45, 95% CI 0,25-0,80, p = 0,0065); low baseline’s level of WBC (HR 1,17, 95% CI 1.02 - 1,35, p = 0,0219); low baseline’s level of neutrophil (HR 1,18, 95% CI 1.02 - 1,34, p = 0,0251). Level of LDH, CRP, INR didn’t show significant ratio for this cohort of patient. Peritoneum metastatic also didn’t significant affect on OS in patient with metastatic gastric cancer. Patients with low baseline’s platelet to lymphocyte ratio (HR 1,004, 95% CI 1,0009-1,0072, p = 0,0125) and low (from 0 to 3,0) neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (HR 1,81, 95% CI 1,09-2,99, p = 0,0212) had a significantly longest OS time. Conclusions: Inflammatory markers can predict overall survival in stage IV gastric cancer. Simple and useful.

Background: Inflammation plays a role in the pathophysiology of cerebral ischemic and also an initial response to brain injury. Inflammation involving Blood and Brain Barrier disturbance, leukocyte infiltration, endothelial cells activation, oxidant and inflammatory mediator buildups which can develop rapidly within hours and can cause secondary injury to brain tissues Objectives: To determine the correlation between Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and High Sensitivity C Reactive Protein (hsCRP) with severity and outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design approach. Sampling was done at H. Adam Malik General Hospital Medan and taken as many as 38 subjects. NLR and hsCRP were examined on the first day of admission. Severity was assessed by using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and the outcome was assessed by using the Modified Ranking Scale on the first and fourteenth day of admission. The data analysis used the contingency coefficient correlation test and gamma test. Results: Demographic characteristics of the subjects are; the average age is 62 years old, the highest educational level is high school graduate, and the most occupation is unemployed. There is a positive, moderate, and significant correlation between NLR and severity of acute ischemic stroke (r=0.511; p=0.001). There is a positive, moderate, and significant correlation between NLR and the outcome of acute ischemic stroke (r=0.463; p=0.001). There is a positive, very strong, and significant correlation between hsCRP and severity of acute ischemic stroke (r=0.896; p=0.001). There is a positive, strong, and significant correlation between hsCRP and outcome of acute ischemic stroke (r=0.624; p=0.001) Conclusions: There is a positive and significant correlation between NLR and hsCRP with severity and outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients.
