Aim: To determine the correlation of infection with peripheral blood neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV).
Materials And Methods: The NLR, MPV, platelets, leukocytes, neutrophils, and lymphocytes were calculated and the differences between groups were investigated.
Results: A total of 199 patients were included in the study. Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio was statistically lower in patients than in patients (1.94 ± 0.79 2.67 ± 2.35 respectively, p = 0.04). There was no significant difference between patients and patients of severe intensity in terms of MPV. However, peripheral blood lymphocytes and platelets were statistically significantly higher in patients of severe intensity (lymphocytes 2150 ± 826 2954 ± 2436 respectively, p = 0.000 and platelets 258247 ± 69494 265611 ± 113397 respectively, p = 0.02) compared with negative patients.
Conclusion: A moderate increase in the intensity of does not lead to a significant change in MPV as measured by hemogram; however, it gives rise to a statistically significant fall in NLR. Presence of severe intensity leads to a statistically significant increase in peripheral blood lymphocytes and platelets compared with patients. Guclu M, Agan AF.

Introduction: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have attracted significant interest as a biomarker for cancer diagnosis. In this study, we judiciously constructed a recombinant MUC1-dependent adenovirus (rAdF35-MUC1) that can selectively replicate and overexpress copepod super green fluorescent proteins (copGFP) in MUC1-positive tumor cells to investigate its role in the detection of CTCs.
Methods: We conducted a comparative study between rAdF35-MUC1 and the existing hTERT-dependent adenovirus (rAdF35-hTERT).

Objective: Vaccinated patients with cancer in follow-up studies showed a high seropositivity rate but impaired antibody titres and T cell responses following mRNA vaccine against COVID-19. Besides clinical characteristics and the type of anticancer treatment before vaccination, the identification of patients susceptible to non-response following vaccination using immunological markers is worth to be investigated.
Methods And Analysis: All patients (n=138, solid cancers) were included in the CACOV-VAC Study comprising three cohorts ((neo)-adjuvant, metastatic and surveillance).

Eosinophils are polymorphonuclear cells that have progressively gained attention due to their involvement in multiple diseases and, more recently, in various homeostatic processes. Their well-known roles range from asthma and parasitic infections to less prevalent diseases such as eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, eosinophilic esophagitis, and hypereosinophilic syndrome. In recent years, various biological therapies targeting these cells have been developed, altering the course of eosinophilic pathologies.

Introduction: The interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7), a member of the IRF family of transcription factors, plays a major role in the regulation of numerous aspects of an immune response and has increasingly been surveyed to determine the aetiology and pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Objective: This study aimed to investigate the transcriptional levels of IRF7 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and the impact of promoter methylation on IRF7 mRNA expression in SSc patients compared to healthy controls.
Methods: PBMCs were obtained from confirmed 40 naïve SSc cases and 20 healthy controls for IRF-7 expression and methylation analysis.
