AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how common H. pylori infections are in patients with biopsy-proven gastritis and their relationship with lymphoid follicle formation.
- Conducted between 2008 and 2009, researchers analyzed 185 gastric biopsy samples, finding H. pylori in 61.6% of cases, especially among individuals in their 40s and 50s.
- A significant link was established between H. pylori infection and the presence of lymphoid follicles, with 38.6% of lymphoid follicle cases associated with the infection, supported by statistical analysis.
Article Abstract
Objective: To determine the frequency of H. pylori infection in biopsy proven gastritis and its association with lymphoid follicle formation.
Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted at the Department of Histopathology, Dow Diagnostic Reference and Research Laboratory between January 2008 and December 2009. Analysis of 185 gastric antral biopsy specimens was done. Tissue sections were stained with haematoxylin and eosin for histological examination for severity of gastritis and lymphoid follicle formation. Giemsa stain was used for H. pylori assessment.
Results: Out of 185 cases, H pylori was found in 114 (61.6%) patients. Frequency of H. pylori infection was seen in fourth and fifth decades as 17.8% and 15.1% respectively. A total of 51 (27.6%) cases in which lymphoid follicle formation was found, 44 (38.6%) were associated with H. pylori infection. This association was statistically significant (p value < 0.0005) by using Chi square test.
Conclusion: The frequency of H. pylori infection is common in our population, moreover, significant association is seen between lymphoid follicle formation and H. pylori infection.

Purpose Of Review: Natural killer (NK) cells are integral components of the innate immune system, serving a vital function in eliminating virally infected cells. This review highlights the significance of CXCR5+ NK cells in the context of chronic HIV/SIV infection and viral control.
Recent Findings: Controlled HIV/SHIV infection results in a substantial increase in the population of CXCR5+ NK cells within the B-cell follicles of secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs).

Constructing artificial tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) opens new avenues for advancing cancer immunotherapy and personalized medicine by creating controllable immune niches. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) offer an ideal stromal source for such constructs, given their potent immunomodulatory abilities and accessibility. In this study, we explored the potential of adipose-derived MSCs to adopt TLS-supportive phenotypes and facilitate lymphocyte organization.

CXCL13 is a chemokine which is upregulated within the CNS in multiple sclerosis, Lyme neuroborreliosis, and other inflammatory diseases and is increasingly clinically useful as a biomarker. This review provides background for understanding its function in the immune system and its relationship to ectopic lymphoid follicles. Also reviewed are its utility in multiple sclerosis and Lyme neuroborreliosis and potential problems in its measurement.

Background: Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease of the colon mucosa associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer.
Objective: This study classified hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) histological images of ulcerative colitis, normal colon, and colorectal cancer using artificial intelligence (deep learning).
Methods: A convolutional neural network (CNN) was designed and trained to classify the three types of diagnosis, including 35 cases of ulcerative colitis (n = 9281 patches), 21 colon control (n = 12,246), and 18 colorectal cancer (n = 63,725).
