Aim: In autism spectrum disorder (ASD), abnormal sensory processing patterns are observed in various sensory modalities, including visual, auditory, touch, olfactory, taste, vestibular, and proprioceptive senses. Few studies have examined the relationship between sensory processing patterns and emotions, or their effects on daily life. We investigated the relationship between sensory processing patterns and emotional/behavioral problems in children with ASD.

Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are resident cells and participate in innate and adaptive immunity. In the tumor microenvironment (TME), ILC2s contribute to both tumorigenesis and inhibition of tumor growth, but the true role of ILC2s in TME construction remains unclear. We show that IL-33 treatment induces an anti-tumor effect in vivo in a mouse model of melanoma in which ILC2s and CD8 T cells infiltrate into tumor tissue.

We investigated factors related to the recurrence and prognosis of patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC)after neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC). Of the 545 patients who underwent surgery after NAC between January 2013 and December 2016, 131 patients had TNBC. An analysis of each TNBC case indicated that the presence or absence of clinical lymph node metastasis(cN)before treatment might be a predictive factor of prognosis.

Background: Generally, Langerhans cells deliver antigen information from the skin to the draining lymph nodes via lymph vessels.

Methods: By immunohistopathology, we investigated the delivery route of Langerhans cells in human skin using CD1a and S-100 protein antibodies.

Results: We noted CD1a- and S-100-positive Langerhans cells in the lymph vessels of the dermis.
