Abstract Background: Calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) represents a serious public health threat to elderly patients. Post-calcific stenotic aortic dilatation, a common feature in CAVS patients, might progress into aneurysm and even dissection, potentially lethal consequences of CAVS, and predicts a dismal prognosis. This study sought to testify the role of lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), an inflammatory biomarker, in predicting the severe post-calcific stenotic aortic dilatation in a Chinese case-control study.Materials and Methods: 208 consecutive patients with CAVS were recruited retrospectively in a Chinese case- control study, from July 1, 2015 to June 31, 2018. The LMR was statistically analyzed for its prognostic value in the severe post-calcific stenotic aortic dilatation.Results: The LMR was significantly reduced in patients with severe post-calcific stenotic aortic dilatation (2.72 vs. 3.53, p=0.002<0.05) compared to patients without severe post- calcific stenotic aortic dilatation. There was an inverse correlation observed between the maximal diameter of ascending aorta and the LMR in the overall patients (r=-0.217, p=0.002<0.05). For severe post-calcific stenotic aortic dilatation, the incidence of high- LMR group was statistically lower than that of low-LMR group (19.7% vs. 43.9%, p<0.001). And maximal diameter of ascending aorta was significantly reduced in the high-LMR group (4.35vs. 4.76, p=0.003<0.05) compared to low-LMR group. Additionally, the LMR was identified in the multivariate analysis as an independent predictor of severe post-calcific stenotic aortic dilatation (OR 0.743, 95% CI: [0.573- 0.964], p=0.025).Conclusions: This study provided the evidence of an inverse correlation between the severe post- calcific stenotic aortic dilatation and LMR. And the LMR is potentially applied as an independent predictor of severe post-calcific stenotic aortic dilatation.

Aim: This study examined the role of lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), an inflammatory biomarker, in predicting the severity of calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) in a Chinese case–control study. Results: The LMR significantly decreased in the patients with CAVS compared with healthy controls. An inverse correlation was observed between the severity of stenosis and LMR in the patients. Additionally, the LMR was identified in the multivariate analysis as an independent predictor of severe CAVS. Conclusion: This study provides evidence of an inverse correlation between the severity of CAVS and LMR. LMR could potentially be applied as an independent predictor of severe CAVS and could be incorporated into a novel predictive model.

Abstract Objectives: Although in many studies, the relationship between autoimmune hypothyroidism (Hashimoto) and Vitamin D deficiency was shown, no research has been performed on the role of vitamin D in non-autoimmune hypothyroidism. Design: This was a Retrospective case–control study in Endocrinology clinic of Jahrom (south of Iran). The patients with Hashimoto (n=633) and non-Hashimoto hypothyroidism (n=305), along with a control group (n=200) were evaluated. 25(OH)D level, T3 and T4 levels were studied and Anti TPO and Anti TG tests were performed. The results of vitamin D level were analyzed and interpreted using SPSS in terms of the cause of hypothyroidism (immune and non-immune). Results: The results of the study showed a significantly lower level of vitamin D in both immune and non-immune Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) in comparison to healthy controls (P<0.05). We observed a significant inverse correlation between the vitamin D and TGAb level (p=0.001, r=-0.261) and a direct correlation of vitamin D with TSH level (p=0.008, r=0.108) in HT patients. Conclusion: Finally, the results indicated that non-autoimmune hypothyroidism, as well as HT, is associated with vitamin D deficiency. The role of vitamin D deficiency in HT was thought to be in the association of higher autoantibody (TGAb) level; while, there should be further studies determining vitamin D deficiency's role in non-immune hypothyroidism.
