Background: The authors previously demonstrated postoperative preservation of the immune function measured by delayed-type skin reaction and tumor growth after laparoscopic surgery, as compared with laparotomy. For further elucidation of the origin of the demonstrated immune preservation, peritoneal macrophage (PMo) function was investigated 1 h after different surgical procedures.
Methods: Female NMRI mice were divided into five groups: anesthesia only, abdominal skin incision, laparotomy, peritoneal carbon dioxide (CO2) insufflation, and peritoneal air insufflation. Escherichia Coli phagocytosis, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) release of isolated PMo were investigated.
Results: All invasive interventions reduced the PMo phagocytosis by factors of approximately 2 to 4.7, as compared with the sham control group. Spontaneous ex vivo TNF-alpha release was significantly increased whenever the abdominal cavity was exposed to ambient air. The macrophage's ability to release TNF-alpha after E. coli exposure was diminished in the abdominal air exposure groups, as compared with the CO2 insufflation group.
Conclusion: Reduced phagocytosis 1 h after surgical interventions suggests a contribution of PMo to the altered immune function. When exposed to CO2, PMo show a decreased basal TNF-alpha release. However, PMo also show an increased TNF-alpha release after a second immune stimulation (E. coli), suggesting a greater competency of interaction in an immune defense reaction after CO2 exposure.

Glia antigen-presenting cells (APCs) are pivotal regulators of immune surveillance within the retina, maintaining tissue homeostasis and promptly responding to insults. However, the intricate mechanisms underlying their local coordination and activation remain unclear. Our study integrates an animal model of retinal injury, retrospective analysis of human retinas, and in vitro experiments to gain insights into the crucial role of antigen presentation in neuroimmunology during retinal degeneration (RD), uncovering the involvement of various glial cells, notably Müller glia and microglia.

Background/purpose: -2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside (THSG) is a bioactive component in the Chinese herb Polygonum multiflorum, recognized for its anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering properties. Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) have excellent capabilities in tooth regeneration, wound healing, and neural repair. The exosomes (Exo) released by hDPSCs contain bioactive molecules that influence cell proliferation, differentiation, and immune responses.

Introduction: Prolonged psychological stress is closely associated with cancer due to its role in promoting the release of stress hormones through the sustained activation of the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary system. These hormones interact with receptors on inflammatory cells, leading to the activation of key signaling pathways, including the transcription factors signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT-3) and kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB). These factors drive the production of pro-inflammatory substances, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), which can influence the initiation and progression of cancer.

Background: Atherosclerosis serves as the fundamental pathology for a variety of cardiovascular disorders, with its pathogenesis being closely tied to the complex interplay among lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Wogonoside is a natural flavonoid extracted from Scutellaria baicalensis with a variety of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, and cardiac function improvement properties. Despite these known effects, the specific role of wogonoside in the context of atherosclerosis remains to be elucidated.
