AI Article Synopsis

  • Sepsis caused by burns, trauma, and surgical stress is a leading cause of death in ICU patients.
  • Research indicates that sepsis disrupts both innate and adaptive immune systems, particularly affecting T lymphocytes, regulatory T lymphocytes, and dendritic cells, leading to immune depression.
  • Monitoring immune function and related indicators is crucial for assessing infection risk, predicting patient outcomes, and guiding severe sepsis treatment.

Article Abstract

Sepsis induced by burns, trauma, and surgical stress, remains a major cause of death of patients in ICUs. A growing number of evidence shows that sepsis may result in dysfunction of innate and adaptive immune system, including the abnormal disorder of immune response of T lymphocytes, regulatory T lymphocytes, and dendritic cells, resulting in a state of immune depression. It is of great significance that dynamic monitoring of immune function and the related indicators might help to assess the risk of secondary infection, the prognosis of septic patients, and to guide the treatment of severe sepsis.

Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a heterogenous autoimmune disorder diagnosed by excluding other conditions. Misdiagnosis of primary ITP occurs in patients with inherited thrombocytopenia and primary immunodeficiency syndromes. This study investigates whether genetic testing for inherited thrombocytopenia or primary immunodeficiency can enhance diagnostic accuracy in ITP, and guide treatment strategies.

Background: Manual compartment palpation is used as a component of the clinical diagnosis of acute compartment syndrome (ACS), particularly in obtunded patients. However, its utility and accuracy in the upper limb are unknown. The purposes of this study were to assess the accuracy of manual compartment palpation of ACS in the forearm in a cadaveric model and to assess the role of clinician experience in this setting.

Background: We aimed to investigate the clinical and molecular characteristics of different degrees of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) protein expression in HER2-negative breast cancer and the related factors affecting the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in HER2-low breast cancer patients.

Methods: The study endpoint was pathological complete remission (PCR). Blood specimens and fresh cancer tissue samples were collected before neoadjuvant chemotherapy for whole-exon sequencing (WES) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), and patients were divided into a human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-low group and a HER2-0 group according to their HER2 expression status via bioinformatics analysis.
