The red blood cell count, hsCRP and PCT were used to construct the prediction model. The AUC of the prediction model was higher than that of hsCRP (0.912 vs. 0.870) but the difference was not significant (P=0.307). DCA suggested that the net benefit of the prediction model was higher than that of hsCRP in most cases and significantly higher than that of PCT, lymphocytes and monocytes. The prediction model with combined laboratory indexes was able to more effectively predict the clinical classification of patients with COVID-19 and may be used as a tool for risk stratification of patients.Ischemic stroke is a life-threatening complication with a high rate of morbidity. Circulating fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) has been reported to be associated with the outcome of acute ischemic stroke. The present study aimed to illustrate the function of FABP4 in ischemic stroke. PC12 cells exposed to oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) were used to mimic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in ischemic stroke. Cell viability was estimated using a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. The expression of FABP4 in PC12 cells under OGD/R was detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). PC12 cells were transfected with FABP4 small interfering RNA (siRNA), inflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were determined via RT-qPCR and ROS assay kit. Western blotting was performed to detect endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-related proteins and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ). Flow cytometry was used to evaluate the cell apoptotic rate. The expression of FABP4 increased gradually with the prolongation of reoxygenation within 8 h. FABP4-knockdown inhibited the transcription of inflammatory cytokines, the production of ROS and decreased cell apoptosis. Furthermore, decreased ERS-related proteins
