In patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the role of 5‑methylcytosine (m5C)‑associated genes in the pathogenesis and development of the disease remains unclear. The present study aimed to identify reliable diagnostic markers based on the expression of m5C‑associated genes for the early detection of IPF. Count data were obtained by screening the IPF genome‑wide assay in the Gene Expression Omnibus database, followed by a comparison of m5C gene expression in patients with IPF and controls.

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a common hematological disorder. Our previous study has found that exosomal miR-146a-5p derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) regulate Th17/Treg balance to alleviate ITP. This work further investigated the role of miR-146a-5p in ITP with pregnancy.

Background: Chronic erythroderma is a potentially life-threatening condition that can be caused by a variety of diseases, but approximately 30% of cases remain idiopathic, often with insufficient treatment options.
Objective: To establish a molecular disease map of chronic idiopathic erythroderma.
Methods: We performed single-cell RNA sequencing combined with T-cell receptor sequencing of blood and skin from 5 chronic idiopathic erythroderma (CIE) patients and compared results with 8 cases of erythrodermic cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (eCTCL), 15 moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD), 10 psoriasis and 20 healthy control (HC) individuals.

Background: Despite suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART), 15%-30% of people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) experience a limited recovery of CD4 T cells. Although autoantibodies against the CD4 receptor have previously been identified in people with HIV (PWH), little is known about their longitudinal impact on CD4 T-cell reconstitution.
Methods: Anti-CD4 autoantibodies were evaluated by the fluid-phase luciferase immunoprecipitation systems immunoassay in ART-naive people with advanced HIV (CD4 count ≤100 cells/µL), PWH with CD4 count >200 cells/µL, long-term nonprogressors, people with idiopathic CD4 lymphopenia, people with autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome, and healthy volunteers without HIV.

Introduction: Anecdotal reports describe patients with concurrent idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) and celiac disease (CeD) in whom the introduction of a gluten-free diet led to dramatic improvement of myositis. We first systematically reviewed all peer-reviewed publications on concomitant IIM and duodenal biopsy-verified CeD. The collected evidence was suggestive of associations between myositis disease activity and gluten exposure in some patients with IIM-CeD.
