Introduction: A critical step preceding the potential biomedical application of nanoparticles is the evaluation of their immunomodulatory effects. Such nanoparticles are expected to enter the bloodstream where they can be recognized and processed by circulating monocytes. Despite the required biocompatibility, this interaction can affect intracellular homeostasis and modulate physiological functions, particularly inflammation.

We hypothesized that successful rheopheresis would be associated with positive changes in soluble endoglin (sENG), PSCK9, alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M), and hs-CRP levels. 31 elderly patients with the dry form of AMD, treated with rheopheresis with a follow-up period of at least 5 years and an average age of 68 ± 4 years, were evaluated.

- The study aimed to analyze the sensitization to latex and food allergens in atopic dermatitis patients using the ALEX2 Allergy Xplorer test, comparing the results with personal histories of allergies.
- The study included 100 patients, examining specific IgE responses to latex and collecting detailed allergy histories.
- The findings revealed 17% sensitization to latex, primarily linked to specific protein components, with some patients showing allergic reactions to latex or related fruit syndromes, underscoring the connections between molecular components and clinical reactions.
Changes in Relative Counts of Different Leukocyte Subpopulations in Peripheral and Umbilical Cord Blood of Women With Preterm Prelabor Rupture of Membranes With Respect to Intraamniotic Inflammation and Fetal Inflammatory Response Syndrome.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed blood samples from 52 pregnant women using flow cytometry to measure relative counts of various leukocyte subpopulations and defined IAI based on interleukin 6 levels in the amniotic fluid.
- * They found that while some differences in leukocyte counts were noted between mothers with IAI and FIRS, these changes weren't significant after considering the gestational age at the time of
Background: This study aimed to assess variations in the absolute counts of various leukocyte subsets in the peripheral blood of women with pregnancies affected by preterm prelabour rupture of membranes (PPROM), in relation to the presence of intra-amniotic inflammation (IAI).
Methods: The study included fifty-two women with singleton pregnancies experiencing PPROM. Absolute counts of different leukocyte subpopulations, such as granulocytes, monocytes, lymphocytes, T cells and their subsets, B cells and their subsets, and NK cells and their subsets, were measured in maternal peripheral blood samples using multicolour flow cytometry.
