Background And Aims: Alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) is a clinically severe, acute disease that afflicts only a fraction of patients with alcohol use disorder. Genomic studies of alcohol-associated cirrhosis (AC) have identified several genes of large effect, but the genetic and environmental factors that lead to AH and AC, and their degree of genetic overlap, remain largely unknown. This study aims to identify genes and genetic variations that contribute to the development of AH.

Recalcitrant warts, caused by human papillomaviruses (HPVs), can be a cutaneous manifestation of inborn error of immunity. This study investigated the clinical manifestations, immunodeficiency, single-gene susceptibility, and HPV repertoire in a consanguineous family with severe sinopulmonary infections and recalcitrant warts. Clinical and immunologic evaluations, including FACS and lymphocyte transformation test, provided evidence for immunodeficiency.

Background: Naïve B cells isolated from peripheral blood, spleen and tonsil are commonly used in human B cell studies. However, little has been written about their possible variations in immunological properties. This study compared differential gene expression in human naive B subsets by meta-analysis using expression data available in Gene Expression Onimbus (GEO).

Background: The role of costimulatory molecules expressed on lymphocytes and thyrocytes in hyperthyroidism has attracted increasing attention and research has shown a close correlation between variant expression of these molecules on lymphocytes and thyrocytes and the development of GD.
Materials And Methods: [corrected] Thyroid tissues were collected from GD patients during surgery and from Hashimoto disease (HT) and non-toxic goiter (NTG) patients as controls. ICOSL expression on infiltrated B cells and TFC was detected by flow cytometry (FCM), reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC).
