Interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-induced signaling is one of the most important pathways in regulating inflammation and immunity. The assembly of the receptor complex, consisting of the ligand IL-1β, the IL-1 receptor (IL-1R) type 1 (IL1R1), and the IL-1R accessory protein (IL1RAP), initiates this signaling. However, how the IL1R1-associated complex is regulated remains elusive.

Chylothorax caused by SVC syndrome is rarely reported. In this paper, we report a case of chylothorax secondary to superior vena cava obstruction (SVCO) in a maintenance hemodialysis patient after multiple dialysis catheter placements.
