(1) Background: Recent research suggests inflammation as a factor involved in the pathophysiology of mood disorders. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte (MLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR), and systemic immune-inflammatory (SII) index ratios have been studied as peripheral markers of inflammation in bipolar and major depressive disorders. The purpose of this study is to comparatively analyze these inflammatory ratios among manic episodes of bipolar disorder, bipolar depression and unipolar depression. (2) Methods: 182 patients were retrospectively included in the study and divided into three groups: 65 manic patients, 34 patients with bipolar depression, and 83 unipolar depressive patients. White blood cells, neutrophils, monocytes, lymphocytes, and platelets were retrieved from the patients' database. NLR, MLR, PLR, and SII index were calculated using these parameters. (3) Results: Patients with manic episodes had elevated NLR ( < 0.001), MLR ( < 0.01), PLR ( < 0.05), and SII index ( < 0.001) compared to unipolar depression and increased NLR ( < 0.05) and SII index ( < 0.05) when compared to bipolar depression. NLR ( < 0.01) and SII index ( < 0.05) were higher in the bipolar depression than unipolar depression. NLR is an independent predictor of the bipolar type of depression in depressive patients. (4) Conclusions: The results confirm the role of inflammation in the pathophysiology of mood disorders and suggest the ability of NLR as a marker for the differentiation of bipolar from unipolar depression.
(1) 背景:近期研究表明,炎症是情绪障碍病理生理学中的一个相关因素。中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值(NLR)、单核细胞与淋巴细胞比值(MLR)、血小板与淋巴细胞比值(PLR)以及全身免疫炎症(SII)指数比值已作为双相情感障碍和重度抑郁症炎症的外周标志物进行研究。本研究旨在比较分析双相情感障碍躁狂发作、双相抑郁和单相抑郁患者之间的这些炎症比值。(2) 方法:本研究回顾性纳入182例患者,分为三组:65例躁狂患者、34例双相抑郁患者和83例单相抑郁患者。从患者数据库中获取白细胞、中性粒细胞、单核细胞、淋巴细胞和血小板数据。使用这些参数计算NLR、MLR、PLR和SII指数。(3) 结果:与单相抑郁相比,躁狂发作患者的NLR(<0.001)、MLR(<0.01)、PLR(<0.05)和SII指数(<0.001)升高;与双相抑郁相比,NLR(<0.05)和SII指数(<0.05)升高。双相抑郁患者的NLR(<0.01)和SII指数(<0.05)高于单相抑郁患者。NLR是抑郁患者双相抑郁类型的独立预测因子。(4) 结论:研究结果证实了炎症在情绪障碍病理生理学中的作用,并提示NLR作为区分双相抑郁与单相抑郁标志物的能力。
