The HR antagonist, JNJ-7777120 treatments ameliorate mild traumatic brain injury by reducing oxidative damage, inflammatory and apoptotic responses through blockage of the ERK1/2/NF-κB pathway in a rat model.

Growing evidence reveals that microglia activation and neuroinflammatory responses trigger cell loss in the brain. Histamine is a critical neurotransmitter and promotes inflammatory responses; thus, the histaminergic system is a potential target for treating neurodegenerative processes. JNJ-7777120, a histamine H4 receptor (HR) antagonist, has been shown to alleviate inflammation, brain damage, and behavioral deficits effectively, but there is no report on its role in brain trauma.

Interleukin-21 and Interleukin-23 levels in familial Mediterranean Fever before and after treatment: the role of cytokines in disease pathogenesis.

In a previous study, it has been shown that the population of Th17 lymphocytes was increased in patients with FMF. IL-21 and IL-23 play significant roles in the production and differentiation of Th17 cells. In this study, we aimed to evaluate serum levels of IL-21 and IL-23 in FMF patients both at diagnosis and after treatment, and to compare these levels with those of healthy controls.

Investigation of the value of hematological biomarkers in the clinical differential diagnosis of IgG4-RD.

Background: IgG4- related disease (IgG4- RD) is a systemic fibroinflammatory disease whose pathogenesis has not been completely elucidated. Due to the novelty and complexity of the diagnostic criteria, it is difficult to distinguish from the diseases included in the differential diagnosis without tissue biopsy. This study aimed to discover new biomarkers that can help for disease diagnosis and its differential diagnosis by reviewing the relationships between neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI).

Histopathological Findings in Turkish Patients Undergoing Sleeve Gastrectomy: Is Histopathologic Examination of Sleeve Gastrectomy Specimens Clinically Important?

Purpose: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a widely used surgical method in the treatment of obesity. This study aimed to reveal the histopathological changes in SG materials and to investigate the prevalence of clinically important lesions requiring follow-up.

Materials And Methods: Three hundred five patients' data who underwent SG were analyzed.

Expression of cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4, CD44, and E-cadherin in the microenvironment of breast carcinomas.

Objective: The expression of cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4, E-cadherin, and CD44 in the area of tumor budding was investigated in breast carcinomas in our study.

Methods: Tumor budding was counted at the invasive margins in 179 breast carcinomas. To understand the microenvironment of tumor budding, we examined the expression status of the immune checkpoint molecules such as cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4, E-cadherin, and CD44.
