A critical analysis of the literature data and of the results of clinicoroentgenological, hormonal and immunological studies in children with thymomegaly makes it possible to regard hyperplasia of the thymus gland at early childhood as a sign of functional incompetence of the thymus and of the secondary immunodeficient state.

Purpose: We aimed to explore the value of [Ga]Ga‑FAPI PET/CT for the evaluation of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) in comparison with [F]FDG PET/CT.
Methods: Thirty-two patients pathologically diagnosed with LCH were enrolled in this study. [Ga]Ga‑FAPI and [F]FDG PET/CT were performed within 1 week to identify disease extent and status.

The collective detrimental impact of aged naive lymphocytes and thymus atrophy on the aging of the immune system can be mitigated by exercise. Hence, this research aims to explore the effects of three methods of water-based exercises on immune system aging and thymus atrophy in elderly rats. Thirty-two 24-month-old rats, with an average weight of 320 ± 5 g, were randomly allocated into four groups of endurance training (n = 8), resistance training (n = 8), combined training (n = 8), and control (n = 8).

The Nr4a nuclear hormone receptors are transcriptionally upregulated in response to antigen recognition by the T cell receptor (TCR) in the thymus and are implicated in clonal deletion, but the mechanisms by which they operate are not clear. Moreover, their role in central tolerance is obscured by redundancy among the Nr4a family members and by their reported functions in Treg generation and maintenance. Here we take advantage of competitive bone marrow chimeras and the OT-II/RIPmOVA model to show that Nr4a1 and Nr4a3 are essential for the upregulation of Bcl2l11/BIM and thymic clonal deletion by self-antigen.

Background: Thymomas and thymic carcinomas are rare and aggressive thymic tumors that are usually detected in advanced stages. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment; however, the role of surgery in advanced disease is controversial due to factors such as myasthenia gravis; thus, decisions about whether to perform surgical interventions are complex. Further studies need to be conducted to explore the potential benefits of surgery in the treatment of advanced thymic tumors.

The aim of this study was to examine the antioxidant and immunomodulatory activities of ethanol extracts from (EESC) and (EEPC). Reflux extraction was carried out using 96% ethanol on the collected plant specimens to produce EESC and EEPC.
