Recently, Z. W. Sun introduced a new kind of numbers Sn and also posed a conjecture on ratio monotonicity of combinatorial sequences related to Sn. In this paper, by investigating some arithmetic properties of Sn, we give an affirmative answer to his conjecture. Our methods are based on a newly established criterion and interlacing method for log-convexity, and also the criterion for ratio log-concavity of a sequence due to Chen, Guo and Wang.
