Unlabelled: Magnesium (Mg) plays an important role in lymphocyte function. Low blood concentration of Mg may result in intralymphocyte imbalance and in turn may be associated with intensified apoptosis of peripheral blood lymphocytes. Due to its multistage character; extracorporeal circulation (ECC) may augment Mg disorders adding to the above mentioned pathology. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between lymphocyte apoptosis and Mg concentration in the blood during the course of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and in the early postoperative period.
Method: Twenty male patients undergoing CABG with ECC under general anaesthesia were included in the study. For detection of apoptotic lymphocytes in the circulation, inner mitochondrial transmembrane potential (deltapsim) was measured with the use of chloromethyl-X-rosamine (CMXRos) and flow cytometry. Spectrophotometry was used for Mg blood concentration measurements. Peripheral blood samples were obtained in seven stages: 1) just before anaesthesia, 2) 2 hours after the beginning of surgery, 3) immediately after surgery, 4) 12 hours after the beginning of surgery, 5) 24 hours after the beginning of surgery, 6) 36 hours after the beginning of surgery, 7) 54 hours after the beginning of surgery.
Results: The statistically significant increases of lymphocyte apoptosis were noted in stages from 2 to 7. Blood Mg concentrations decreased in stages 2 and 3. There was negative correlation between Mg blood concentration in stages 2 and 3 and the intensity of lymphocyte apoptosis in the stage 5.
Conclusions: 1) CABG with extracorporeal circulation was associated with a decrease of magnesium concentration in the blood and an increase of lymphocyte apoptosis intensity. 2) The decrease of magnesium blood concentration may increase the degree of lymphocyte apoptosis. 3) Lymphocyte apoptosis after extracorporeal circulation has a two-phase course.

Antibody-mediated protection against pathogens is crucial to a healthy life. However, the recent SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has shown that pre-existing comorbid conditions including kidney disease account for compromised humoral immunity to infections. Individuals with kidney disease are not only susceptible to infections but also exhibit poor vaccine-induced antibody response.

Background: We investigated the effects of C-reactive protein (CRP) deposition on the vessel walls in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) by analyzing spatially resolved changes in gene expression. Our aim was to elucidate the pathways that contribute to disease progression.
Methods: AAA specimens from surgically resected formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues were categorized into the AAA-high CRP [serum CRP ≥ 0.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors play an important role in the treatment of solid tumors, but the currently used immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1), and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) show limited clinical efficacy in many breast cancers. B7H3 has been widely reported as an immunosuppressive molecule, but its immunological function in breast cancer patients remains unclear.
Methods: We analyzed the expression of B7H3 in breast cancer samples using data from the Cancer Genome Atlas Program (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is prevalent in adults and is characterized by the accumulation of mature B cells in the blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and spleens. Recent progress in therapy and the introduction of targeted treatments [inhibitors of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTKi) or inhibitor of anti-apoptotic B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2i) protein (venetoclax)] in place of chemoimmunotherapy have significantly improved the outcomes of patients with CLL. These advancements have shifted the importance of traditional predictive markers, leading to a greater focus on resistance genes and reducing the significance of mutations, such as TP53 and del(17p).

Background: Disorders of lipid metabolism are critical factors in the progression of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). However, the characteristics of lipid metabolism and related regulatory mechanisms of CLL remain unclear.
Methods: Hence, we identified altered metabolites and aberrant lipid metabolism pathways in patients with CLL by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based non-targeted lipidomics.
