Sex hormones and allergies: exploring the gender differences in immune responses.
Front Allergy
January 2025
Research Institute of Biomedical Sciences, University Center of Health Sciences, University of Guadalajara, Guadalajara, Mexico.
Allergies are closely associated with sex-related hormonal variations that influence immune function, leading to distinct symptom profiles. Similar sex-based differences are observed in other immune disorders, such as autoimmune diseases. In allergies, women exhibit a higher prevalence of atopic conditions, such as allergic asthma and eczema, in comparison to men.

Department of Special Laboratory, Henan Provincial People's Hospital, People's Hospital of Zhengzhou University, and People's Hospital of Henan University, Zhengzhou, China.
Introduction: The long-term immunogenicity, adverse effects, influencing factors, and protection from booster vaccines remain unclear. Specifically, little is known regarding the humoral immunity and breakthrough infections associated with COVID-19 booster immunization. Therefore, we evaluated the immunogenicity, reactogenicity, influencing factors, and protective effects of the first coronavirus disease booster vaccine 23 months before and after implementation of dynamic zero epidemic control measures among healthcare staff.

State Key Laboratory of Respiratory Disease, Guangdong Laboratory of Computational Biomedicine, Center for Cell Lineage Research, Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou, China.
Background: Although immunoglobulin (Ig) alleles play a pivotal role in the antibody response to pathogens, research to understand their role in the humoral immune response is still limited.
Methods: We retrieved the germline sequences for the IGHV from the IMGT database to illustrate the amino acid polymorphism present within germline sequences of IGHV genes. We aassembled the sequences of IgM and IgD repertoire from 130 people to investigate the genetic variations in the population.
Efficacy and safety of interferon-alpha 1b injection into the intervertebral foramen with ultrasonic guidance in patients with postherpetic neuralgia: study protocol for a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial.
Front Neurol
January 2025
Department of Pain Medicine, China-Japan Friendship Hospital, Beijing, China.
Purpose: Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a type of refractory neuropathic pain that causes significant suffering, disability, economic loss, and medical burden. In this study, we aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of interferon (IFN)-α1b injection into the intervertebral foramen of patients with PHN.
Patients And Methods: This is a study protocol for a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled multicenter clinical trial.
The clinical significance of mirror patterns of cerebrospinal fluid oligoclonal immunoglobulin G bands (IgG-OCBs) in peripheral neuropathy disorders.
Clin Chim Acta
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Huashan Hospital, Fudan University and Institute of Neurology, Fudan University, National Center for Neurological Disorders, Shanghai, China. Electronic address:
Background: CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) oligoclonal immunoglobulin G bands (IgG-OCBs) analysis plays a crucial role in diagnosis of various neurological disorders. However, the clinical significance of mirror pattern bands remains unclear, and their precise application is not well understood.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed a total of 7597 IgG-OCB records detected using isoelectric focusing from May 2020 and August 2023 at Huashan Hospital.
