В статье рассмотрены вопросы развития фиброза и иммунного воспаления у больных артериальной гипертензией (АГ) с острым ишемическим инсультом (ИИ) в пожилом возрасте. Цель исследования - изучение возраст-ассоциированных особенностей концентрации маркеров фиброза (металлопротеиназы-9, тканевого ингибитора матриксных металлопротеиназ-1, их соотношения ММП-9/ТИМП-1), иммунного воспаления (TNF-α, IL-1β, INF-γ) у больных АГ с ИИ. В исследование были включены 86 больных АГ II степени, из которых 42 человека - среднего возраста (53±5 лет) и 44 - пожилого (66±5 лет), контрольную группу составили 22 пациента пожилого возраста с АГ без ИИ в анамнезе. Критерии включения - пациенты с АГ, поступившие в стационар в остром периоде первого церебрального инсульта. Установлено, что у пожилых больных АГ с ИИ показатели инфламэйджинга и маркеры фиброза были достоверно выше, чем у лиц среднего возраста. Уровень IL-1β был выше на 31,7 % (р<0,01), TNF-α - на 55,7 % (р<0,001), INF-γ - на 36,6 % (р<0,01), уровень ММП-9 - на 46,4 % (р<0,01), ТИМП-1 - на 21,2 % (р<0,01), ММП-9/ТИМП-1 - на 19,6 % (р<0,01) в пожилом возрасте по сравнению с больными среднего возраста с АГ и острым ИИ. Таким образом, установлено, что больные АГ с ИИ имеют нарушения процессов инфламейджинга, синтеза и деградации внеклеточного матрикса, особенно выраженные в пожилом возрасте. The article deals with the development of fibrosis and immune inflammation in patients with arterial hypertension and acute ischemic stroke in old age. The aim of the study was to study age-associated features of the concentration of fibrosis markers (metalloproteinase-9, tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases-1, their ratio MMP-9/TIMP-1), immune inflammation (TNF-α, IL-1β, INF-γ) in patients with arterial hypertension and ischemic stroke (AI). The study included 86 patients with arterial hypertension (AH) of the 2nd degree, of which 42 were middle-aged (53±5 years) and 44 elderly (66±5 years). The control group consisted of 22 elderly patients with AH without a history of AI. The criteria for inclusion in the study are patients with hypertension who were admitted to the hospital in the acute period of the first cerebral stroke. It was found that in elderly patients with hypertension with AI, the indicators of inflamaging and fibrosis markers were significantly higher than in middle-aged people. The level of IL-1β was 31,7 % higher (p<0,01), TNF-α by 55,7 % (p<0,001), INF-γ by 36,6 % (p<0,01), the level of MMP-9 was 46,4 % higher (p<0,01), TIMP-1 by 21,2 % (p<0,01), MMP-9/TIMP-1 by 19,6 % (p<0,01) in the elderly compared to middle-aged patients with hypertension and acute AI. Thus, it was found that patients with arterial hypertension and ischemic stroke have violations of the processes of inflamaging, synthesis and degradation of the extracellular matrix, especially pronounced in old age.

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in patients with cutaneous melanoma (CM) under immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. Methods PIV and SII were calculated before the start of ICI therapy and at time of progression/death in patients with metastatic CM (stage III/IV). Sex–age-matched CM patients in stage I/II and healthy subjects (HC) served as controls. Results The median PIV of stage III/IV patients was significantly (P = 0.0011) higher than in stage I/II patients and HC. SII was significantly (P = 0.00044) lower in HC than in CM patients. At baseline, PIV and SII did significantly correlate with lactate dehydrogenase (P = 0.045/0.017). However, ROC curve statistics revealed that SII and PIV were not significantly associated with clinical parameters, including best response to ICI treatment (P = 0.87/0.64), progression-free survival (P = 0.73/0.91), and melanoma-specific survival (P = 0.13/0.17). Moreover, there were no significant changes of PIV and SII from baseline to progression/death (P = 0.38/0.52). Conclusions Even though both immune-inflammation biomarkers showed some power to differentiate between CM stages and HC, respectively, PIV and SII seem not to be significant predictors for clinical outcome measures of CM patients under ICI therapy.

Abstract Background To explore the correlation between the preoperative systemic immune inflammation index (SII) and the prognosis of patients with gastric carcinoma (GC). Methods The clinical data of 771 GC patients surgically treated in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Qinghai University Affiliated Hospital from June 2010 to June 2015 were retrospectively analyzed, and their preoperative SII was calculated. The optimal cut-off value of preoperative SII was determined using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the confounding factors between the two groups were eliminated using the propensity score matching (PSM) method, and the correlation between preoperative SII and clinicopathological characteristics was assessed by chi-square test. Moreover, the overall survival was calculated using Kaplan-Meier method, the survival curve was plotted, and log-rank test was performed for the significance analysis between the curves. Univariate and multivariate analyses were also conducted using the Cox proportional hazards model. Results It was determined by the ROC curve that the optimal cut-off value of preoperative SII was 489.52, based on which 771 GC patients were divided into high SII (H-SII) group and low SII (L-SII) group, followed by PSM in the two groups. The results of Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that before and after PSM, the postoperative 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates in L-SII group were superior to those in H-SII group, and the overall survival rate had a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). Before PSM, preoperative SII [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.707, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.074-3.533, P < 0.001] was an independent risk factor for the prognosis of GC patients. After 1:1 PSM, preoperative SII (HR = 2.669, 95%CI 1.881–3.788, P < 0.001) was still an independent risk factor for the prognosis of GC patients. Conclusions Preoperative SII is an independent risk factor for the prognosis of GC patients. The increase in preoperative SII in peripheral blood indicates a worse prognosis.
