The study encompassed 146 women with recognized invasive cervical cancer in 4 clinical stages. Patients underwent therapy in Oncologic Gynaecology Department of Wrocław Medical University in 2001 and 2002 years. The correlation between pretreatment serum level of proangiogenic and inflammation factors--VEGF, sTNF-R1, IL-6 and clinical stage or early effects of therapy were observed. The strong and statistically significant relationship between pretreatment serum level of IL-6 and sTNF-R1 and clinical stage with early effect of treatment were found. The statistically significant correlation between serum level of all investigated parameters and clinical stage of cervix cancer was noticed. VEGF wasn't an independent prognostic factor in the study, but the prognostic value of IL-6 was demonstrated.

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an important pathogen affecting dairy cattle all over the world by causing significant economic losses due to reproductive and respiratory problems, immunosuppressive effects, increased risk of morbidity, and calf mortality. A cross-sectional study was conducted from February 2021 to August 2021 to determine the seroprevalence of bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) and identify risk factors associated with its occurrence in and around Nekemte Town of Ethiopia. Blood samples were collected from 305 dairy cattle of 41 herds by using cluster-sampling method.

Use of immunomodulating agents to prevent the progression of autoimmune β-cell damage leading to type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an interesting area for research. These include non-specific anti-inflammatory agents, immunologic vaccination and anti-inflammatory agents targeting specific immune cells or cytokines. Teplizumab is an anti-CD3-molecule that binds to and leads to the disappearance of the CD3/TCR complex and rendering the T cell anergic to its target antigen.
