Article Synopsis
- A retrospective study of 704 adults in Jaworzno, Poland, assessed awareness of Lyme disease and antibody levels for B. burgdorferi after recent tick bites.
- Among participants, 79.3% had contact with ticks, with 25.99% testing positive for IgG antibodies and 25.57% for IgM antibodies using ELISA tests.
- The study concluded that the ELISA method yielded consistent serological results, correlating with survey responses about tick exposure and subsequent tests for antibodies.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of adalimumab and cyclosporine A on histamine-related gene expression in human keratinocyte cells (HaCaT) stimulated by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
- Treatment with LPS was followed by adalimumab or cyclosporine A application, and analyses included RNA extraction and various assays to assess gene regulation.
- Results showed that certain microRNAs related to histamine receptor regulation were downregulated in response to treatments, but additional research is needed to clarify the mechanisms involved in modulating the histaminergic system in psoriasis.
