Article Synopsis
- The study discusses a rare lung disease in nine children linked to a genetic deficiency of the CCR2 receptor, leading to conditions like pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) and increased vulnerability to infections.
- This deficiency is characterized by loss-of-function variants, affecting the migration and signaling of immune cells, particularly monocytes, due to a lack of response to CCL-2, a chemokine essential for these processes.
- Elevated levels of CCL-2 in the blood serve as a diagnostic marker for identifying children with unexplained respiratory issues or recurrent infections, indicating the importance of CCR2 in lung health and immune response.
Purpose: Lophomoniasis is a chronic protozoan respiratory disease in humans with main clinical symptoms such as chronic cough, productive sputum, breath shortness, and occasionally hemoptysis. Differentiation diagnosis of lophomoniasis from tuberculosis (TB) and asthma is crucial.
Methods: In this study, 210 participants with suspected TB referred to tuberculosis laboratories in Mazandaran province, northeastern Iran, were enrolled during 2021.
Construction during cold weather can lead to freezing accidents in concrete, causing significant hidden threats to the project's performance and safety by affecting the mechanical properties and durability reduction. This study aims to deduce the compressive strength and durability of the concrete containing nano-[Formula: see text] under freezing-thawing cycles with the Caspian seawater curing condition. The specimens were subjected to freezing-thawing cycles according to ASTM C666.

- * This deficiency results in the impaired translation of important proteins like JAK2, affecting cellular responses to specific cytokines such as IL-23 and IL-12, particularly in T lymphocytes and phagocytes.
- * The impaired response to IL-23 reduces the production of IFN-γ by certain immune cells during mycobacterial infections, highlighting a crucial link between MCTS1 deficiency and mycobacterial disease susceptibility.
