BACKGROUND: Immune system and inflammatory response play an essential role in the development of secondary brain injury (SBI) after traumatic brain injury (TBI). An inflammatory biomarker that can reflect the SBI severity is needed to increase the effectivity of TBI management and prevent morbidity and mortality post-TBI. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), which are more affordable than C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), theoretically have the potential to be used as a marker of the SBI severity. However, NLR and PLR in daily medical practice are not yet fully utilized. AIM: The aim of the study was to correlate NLR and PLR with CRP and ESR as a marker of SBI severity post-TBI. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Sanglah Hospital Denpasar from January to April 2020. Patients diagnosed with TBI were included in this study by consecutive sampling. The blood samples were taken at 24-h post-TBI to obtain the NLR, PLR, CRP, and ESR results. Spearman’s correlation test was conducted to determine the correlation between NLR and PLR with CRP and ESR. RESULTS: Eighty-five patients were included in data analysis. Median ± (interquartile range) of the NLR, PLR, CRP, and ESR were 7.60 ± (6.83), 145.58 ± (76.95), 60.83 ± (66.3), and 12.50 ± (13.85) consecutively. NLR and PLR had a significant positive correlation with CRP (r = 0.472, **p < 0.01; r = 0.283, **p < 0.01 consecutively). But, NLR and PLR were not correlated with ESR. CONCLUSION: NLR and PLR can become a useful and more affordable marker for reflecting the SBI severity in acute TBI.
BACKGROUND: Single-nucleotide polymorphism in the stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1)/CXCL12 gene had been associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, several published studies have shown inconsistent results. AIM: A meta-analysis was assessed to evaluate the association between SDF-1 3’A-gene polymorphism and CAD in the literature. METHODS: A systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines and adhering to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews. The literature search strategy was carried out on April 3, 2019, from PubMed, EBSCO, Google Scholar, and DOAJ during 2013–2018 period using various keywords related to SDF-1, CXCL12, polymorphism, and CAD. Original data from the group, case-control study, English full-text, and DNA polymorphism assessment using polymerase chain reaction were enrolled. Gene polymorphism in A-base nucleotide among patients with CAD and healthy subjects were evaluated. All data were analyzed using Review Manager 5.3 (Cochrane, Denmark) for meta-analysis. RESULTS: Five eligible studies extracted for data analysis (2013–2018) based on the assessment of 2-independent reviewers. Several studies have been excluded due to irrelevant criteria evaluated. A significant result was found between SDF-1 3’A gene polymorphism with the increased risk of CAD in the overall effect evaluation using a fixed-effects model (odds ratio [OR]: 2.02; 95% confidence interval 1.54-2.65; I2: 34%; p<0.001) on the forest plot. CONCLUSION: Our meta-analysis suggests that gene polymorphism in A-base nucleotide of SDF-1/CXCL-12 was associated with the susceptibility of CAD. However, a bigger-scale and well-design of case-control study should be conducted to clarify these conclusions.
The activity of traditional dodol stirrer workers is done with standing position. The stirring process is done monotonically and over a long period of 5 hours. This study aims to show that workplace stretching exercise administration and modification of working conditions may decrease musculoskeletal and fatigue complaintas in traditional dodol stirrer workers.
