Objective This study investigated the regulatory effect of high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) in the peripheral blood of patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) on myeloid dendritic cells (mDC) and Th17/regulatory T cells (Treg) balance. Methods The study enrolled 30 newly diagnosed ITP patients and 30 healthy controls.Flow cytometry was used to measure the proportion of mDC, Th17, and Treg cells in the peripheral blood of ITP patients and healthy controls.

In this study, high-throughput drug screening was utilized to identify Chinese herbal medicines with notable therapeutic effects on CRC. Among the compounds identified, 4'-demethylpodophyllotoxin (DOP), a derivative of podophyllotoxin, emerged as a potent anti-cancer compound.

To explore the transcriptional regulatory mechanism of citrus resistance to canker disease, this study used the susceptible Citrus sinensis cv. 'Newhall' and its citrus canker-resistant bud mutation variety 'Longhuitian' (LHT) as materials.

Currently, there is no recognized therapeutic regimen, leading to the adoption of strategies typically utilized for multiple myeloma, which, however, exhibit limited efficacy. Selinexor is considered effective in treating relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, but there are currently no reports on its application in primary plasma cell leukemia.

Their damage has significantly impacted the collection and cultivation of germplasm resources of native Asteraceae plants. However, the genetic characteristics and structure of their population are unclear.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntroduction: Huanglongbing (HLB), a disease that's ubiquitous worldwide, wreaks havoc on the citrus industry. The primary culprit of HLB is the gram-negative bacterium Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) that infects the phloem, but its damaging mechanism is yet to be fully understood.
Methods And Results: In this study, a multitude of tools including weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA), protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis and gene expression profiling are employed to unravel the intricacies of its pathogenesis.
Introduction: Seed traits related to recruitment directly affect plant fitness and persistence. Understanding the key patterns and influencing factors of seed trait variations is conducive to assessing plant colonization and habitat selection. However, the variation patterns of the critical seed traits of shrub species are usually underrepresented and disregarded despite their vital role in alpine desert ecosystems.

The OM plays an important role in maintaining visual function and defending against foreign antigens or microorganisms, while maintaining a balance between the two through complex regulatory mechanisms. However, the function of ocular mucosal defense against foreign pathogens and mucosal immune response in bony fish are still less studied.

The response of immunotherapy is associated with the cell-cell interactions in tumor microenvironment, encompassing processes such as cell-cell recognition, binding, and adhesion. However, the function of immunoglobulin superfamily (IGSF) genes in tumor immune microenvironment remains uncharacterized.

Understanding the incidence, risk factors, and impact of SSIs is crucial for effective preventive strategies and improved patient outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from 431 CRC patients who underwent surgery at Huangshan Shoukang Hospital between 2014 and 2022.
We aimed to investigate relationships of platelet glycoprotein (GP) specific antibody with therapeutic efficacy of high-dose dexamethasone (HD-DXM) and bleeding score in primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) adults. A retrospective study was carried out to analyze relationships of polymorphism of GP specific antibody with initial therapeutic efficacy of HD-DXM and bleeding score of newly diagnosed ITP adults between 1 June, 2016 and 31 January, 2020. 59 patients were involved in the study, with 33 cases of responders and 26 cases of non-responders between June 2016 and January 2020.
