The effects of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interferon gamma (IFNgamma) were studied on the activity of type 2,5'-deiodinase and on the binding of [125I] T(4) to proteins in human thyroid cytosolic (supernatant) and membrane (pellet) fractions. The activity of thyroid type 2,5'-deiodinase was measured by iodothyronine outer ring deiodinase assay. The binding of [125I] T(4) to the proteins of thyroid cytosolic and membrane fractions was determined by autoradiography. The results showed that thyroid type 2,5'-deiodinase activity could be detected also in the cytosolic fraction, not only in the membrane. TNFalpha, IL-6 and IFNgamma could inhibit the type 2 deiodinase activity in vitro. The dose-dependent binding of [125I] T(4) to the proteins of 29, 66 and 200 kDa could be observed both in the cytosolic and membrane fractions. TNFalpha and IFNgamma inhibited the binding of [125I] T(4) to the two characteristic proteins of type 2,5'-deiodinase, to proteins of 29 and/or 200 kDa, both in the cytosolic and membrane fractions. We conclude that TNFalpha, IL-6 and IFNgamma can inhibit the activity of type 2,5'-deiodinase. Furthermore, TNFalpha and IFNgamma can still also decrease the binding of [125I] T(4) to the enzyme in vitro. It can be suggested that the increased level of these cytokines can be one of the reasons in the induction of the clinical symptoms in nonthyroidal illness associated with low levels of T(3).

Background: COVID-19 mRNA vaccines have demonstrated 95 % efficacy in the general population. However, their immunogenicity in adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), who exhibit weaken immune responses, remains insufficiently explored.
Methods: Longitudinal analysis of innate immune responses following PRR-agonists and BNT162b2 vaccine stimulations, along with S-specific antibody responses, memory T cell recall responses, and RNA-sequencing were assessed in eight T1D adolescents and 16 healthy controls at six different timepoints.
Reintervention after aortic root replacement with allograft, xenograft, and stented bioprosthetic valves.

Background: There has been a significant increase in the utilization of non-mechanical valves in the aortic position over time. However, details in reinterventions after aortic root replacement (ARR) with non-mechanical prosthesis were limited in the literature, despite the potential importance of reinterventions in the lifetime management of aortic valve disease.
Methods: This is a single-center retrospective study, identifying all patients who underwent ARR with allograft, xenografts, and stented bioprosthetic valved conduit from 2010 to 2020.

Background: Pseudarthrosis is a major complication after posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) and transforaminal interbody fusion (TLIF), and its risk factors need to be identified. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the number of remaining teeth (NRT) and pseudarthrosis.
Methods: NRT, preoperative bone density of the proximal femur (percentages of young adult mean; % YAM), and preoperative procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) (μg/L) were retrospectively investigated in 63 patients (24 male and 39 female, mean age: 71.
