Background: Interleukin-19 (IL-19) is a newly discovered cytokine belonging to the Interleukin-10(IL-10) family. IL-19 have indispensable functions in many inflammatory processes and also can induce the angiogenic potential of endothelial cells. The purpose of present study was to investigate the relation of serum interleukin-19 (IL-19) levels with diabetic nephropathy (DN).
Methods: Two hundred study groups of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (109 males and 91 females) were recruited, included normoalbuminuria(n = 102), microalbuminuria(n = 72) and macroalbuminuria(n = 26) . The 50 healthy blood donors were enrolled for the control group. All subjects were assessed for: IL-19, High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP), Cystatin C, urinary albumin excretion rate (UAE) and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c).
Results: The serum IL-19 levels in DN patients were found to be significantly higher compared to controls. IL-19 levels were significantly positively correlated with Hs-CRP, Cystatin C, UAE and HbA1c(r = 0.623, 0.611,0.591 and 0.526 respectively, P < 0.01). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed IL-19 levels (P = 0.01) were found to be independently associated with patients with DN.
Conclusions: IL-19 is significantly positive correlated with UAE and Cystatin C. IL-19 may play an important role that contributes to the progression of diabetic nephropathy.

Article Synopsis
- Psoriasis, a complicated skin condition linked to inflammation, has unclear connections between its severity, related cytokine levels, and heart disease risk.
- This study aimed to identify serum markers to help monitor cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in psoriasis patients by examining relationships between cytokines and coronary artery health.
- Key findings highlight that specific cytokines (IL-17A, IL-19, IL-36) correlate with psoriasis severity, while markers like CD31 and resistin show promise for tracking coronary atherosclerosis progression, particularly in patients with psoriasis vulgaris.
Dupilumab Therapy Modulates Circulating Inflammatory Mediators in Patients with Prurigo Nodularis.

Article Synopsis
- Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a chronic skin condition marked by severe itching and skin nodules, and it may also involve systemic inflammation linked to other health issues.
- A study investigated the effects of dupilumab, a newly approved treatment for PN, on inflammatory proteins in blood samples from three patients after six months of therapy.
- Results showed significant clinical improvements and a reduction in various inflammatory proteins related to different immune pathways, suggesting dupilumab could help alleviate both skin symptoms and systemic inflammation risks.

Interleukin (IL-19) belongs to the IL-10 family of cytokines and plays diverse roles in inflammation, cell development, viral responses, and lipid metabolism. Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe respiratory condition associated with various diseases, including severe pneumonia, sepsis, and trauma, lacking established treatments. However, the role of IL-19 in acute inflammation of the lungs is unknown.

Background: In response to the replace mammal research models with insects in preliminary immunological studies, interest has grown in invertebrate defense systems. The immunological response is regulated by cytokines; however, while their role in mammals is well understood, little is known of their function in insects. A suitable target for studies into insect immunology is (Lepidoptera), the wax moth: a common host for human fungal and bacterial pathogens.
