Abstract

Abstract: Lung cancer is the leading cause of malignancy in the world reaching up to 13% of all cancer diagnoses. Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) and Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), are promising markers of inflammatory prognosis, clinical decisions for proper management of lung cancer patients. The research used a retrospective analytic observational study as its research method. Samples were taken from Pathology Anatomy Laboratory, and the medical record data of lung cancer patients in Ulin General Hospital Banjarmasin from 2017 to 2018. Male lung cancer patients have percentage of 72% with PLR NLR values by sex are not much different p>0.05. 23% of patients were aged ≥ 65 years and 77% were aged £ 65 years with value p>0.05. Adenocarcinoma reaches 65% with p>0.05. Most metastases are 44% pleural effusion with value p>0.05. Percentage of advanced stage is 90% with a higher PLR NLR value at the end stage. There is a meaningful relationship of NLR with lung cancer stage p<0.05, but no relantionship with PLR p>0.05. PRL and NRL are increased at advanced stage. NRL and PRL did not differ significantly based on age, sex and histology of lung cancer. Keywords: Platelet-to-lympho­cyte ratio (PLR), Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lung cancer

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed significant challenges to public health, particularly about the oxidative damage caused by infection. Nigella sativa, known for its antioxidant properties, has been extensively studied as a potential therapeutic agent to reduce oxidative damage. This study aims to evaluate the effects of Nigella sativa administration in reducing oxidative damage in COVID-19 patients through a clinical and in silico approach. The research methods include a clinical trial on COVID-19 patients supplemented with Nigella sativa and in silico molecular analysis to identify the interaction mechanisms between the active components of Nigella sativa and SARS-CoV-2 proteins. The results showed that Nigella sativa significantly reduced oxidative stress biomarkers in patients, and in silico results revealed the potential of its active components to inhibit critical enzymes of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Based on these findings, it is concluded that Nigella sativa has potential as an adjunct therapy in reducing oxidative damage in COVID-19 patients. Further research is required to confirm these results through broader, more in-depth clinical trials.
