Herpes zoster (HZ) is increasingly common in the aging and is experienced by approximately one in three people in their lifetime. It is also relatively common in immune-compromised people. Acute HZ causes severe pain, reduced quality of life and severe complications, including prolonged pain, or postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), and ocular zoster, which may rarely progress to blindness.

Liver transplantation (LT) is a cost-effective therapy for advanced liver disease. Although LT significantly improves long-term survival, it requires strict control of immunosuppressants and their potential complications. Several available immunosuppressive drugs include glucocorticoids, calcineurin inhibitors, mycophenolate, mTOR inhibitors, and anti-CD25 antibodies.

Alzheimer's disease and antibody-mediated immune responses to infectious diseases agents: a mendelian randomization study.

Hereditas

January 2025

The Affiliated Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Southwest Medical University, No. 182 Chunhui Road, Longmatan District, Luzhou, Sichuan, 646000, China.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder, with antibody-mediated immune responses to infectious diseases agents potentially playing a decisive role in its pathophysiological process. However, the causal relationship between antibodies and AD remains unclear.

Methods: A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was conducted to investigate the causal link between antibody-mediated immune responses to infectious diseases agents and the risk of AD.

Cell-free DNA Levels in Herpes Zoster: A Cross-sectional Longitudi-nal Study.

Acta Derm Venereol

January 2025

Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Faculty of Health Sciences, Beer-Sheva, Israel; Pediatric Dermatology Service, Soroka University Medical Center, Beer-Sheva, Israel.

This study investigates serum cell-free DNA fluctuations in patients with herpes zoster or post-herpetic neuralgia, offering insight into the tissue damage and inflammatory dynamics associated with these conditions. A single-centre combined cross-sectional and longitudinal study was conducted with 59 patients to assess cell-free DNA levels in herpes zoster and post-herpetic neuralgia. Cell-free DNA was extracted from blood samples of patients with herpes zoster or post-herpetic neuralgia and compared with healthy controls.
