AbstractObjectives.NLR (neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio) and PLR (platelet-lymphocyte ratio) are prognostic markers of differentiated thyroid cancers. In our study, we evaluated NLR, PLR and C-reactive protein (CRP) for predicting the occurence of differentiated thyroid cancer. This is the first study that compares NLR and PLR to C-reactive protein indifferantiated thyroid cancer not only papillary cancer but also folliculer cancer.Methods.This study includes 51 papillary carcinoma, 42 papillary microcarcinoma and 31 folliculer carcinoma patients attending to our outpatient Endocrinology Clinic at Erzurum Region Training and Research Hospital between 2009 and 2014. The control group include 50 age, sex and body mass index matched healty subjects. Blood counts and CRP were measured at the day before surgery. Thyroglobulin was measured after 6 months of operation.Results.There were positive correlations between tumor diameter, age, white blood cell (WBC) and thyroglobulin levels. There were also positive correlation between NLR, PLR and CRP levels.Conclusion.In our study, we found out that higher NLR and PLR was associated with higher levels of thyroglobulin which indicates worse survival. CRP levels were also associated with poorer tumor profile but the determining rate was lower according to ROC analysis

Coronavirus Infection

BACKGROUND: Despite the continuing global spread of the coronavirus infection COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, the mechanisms of the pathogenesis of severe infections remain poorly understood. The role of comorbidity with other seasonal viral infections, including influenza, in the pathogenesis of the severe course of COVID-19 remains unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present study used sera left over from ongoing laboratory studies of patients with varying degrees of severity of COVID-19. The study was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution IEM (protocol 3/20 from 06/05/2020). We studied 28 paired samples obtained upon admission of patients to the hospital and after 57 days of hospital stay. Paired sera of patients with COVID-19 were tested for antibodies to influenza A and B viruses. The presence of IgG antibodies specific to the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein was studied using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The serum concentration of C-reactive protein and the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio on the day of hospitalization were also assessed. RESULTS: At least a 4-fold increase in serum IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 S protein was found both in patients with PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and without PCR confirmation. It was shown that out of 18 patients with moderate and severe forms of COVID-19 infection, six of them showed at least a 4-fold increase in antibodies to influenza A/H1N1, in one to influenza A/H3N2 and in two cases to the influenza B. Laboratory data in these two groups were characterized by significant increases in serum C-reactive protein and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio concentrations compared with the moderate COVID-19 group. CONCLUSIONS: Serological diagnostics can additionally detect cases of coronavirus infection when the virus was not detected by PCR. In moderate and severe cases of COVID-19, coinfections with influenza A and B viruses have been identified. The results obtained confirm the need for anti-influenza immunization during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Influenza virus screening can significantly improve patient management because recommended antiviral drugs (neuraminidase inhibitors) are available.

Before And After

This study compared the effectiveness of the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) versus C-reactive protein (CRP) for evaluating the prognosis and degree of inflammation in patients with amputation for a diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). This study enrolled 56 patients with amputations for DFU with gangrene and compared the CRP levels and NLR measured before and after surgery. Overall, 24 patients (42%) died within 2 weeks postoperatively. Mortality increased with a preoperative/postoperative CRP difference ≤1.5 ( P < .001) and age 73 years or older ( P < .001). The postoperative NLR was lower than the preoperative value but was not significant as a prognostic or inflammatory marker ( P = .945). An increasing serum CRP level is a significant predictor of mortality. CRP and old age are reliable prognostic factors in patients with DFU.
