Purpose: Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1/CCL2) plays a key role for infiltration of monocytes/macrophages and studies have demonstrated that the MCP-1/C-C chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) axis might be involved in the pathogenesis and progression of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Molecular imaging has shown potential for human clinical research studies. We evaluated the expression of CCR2 in patients with small AAA using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with the technetium-99m-6-hydrazinylnicotinoyl-C-C-chemokine receptor-2 ligand (Tc-HYNIC-CCR2-L).

Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition arising from a dysregulated host response to infection leading to organ dysfunction. Traditional clinical signs are often unreliable for detecting sepsis, necessitating the exploration of more accurate biomarkers. Furthermore, currently, recommended screening scores perform poorly, necessitating more effective biomarkers to identify sepsis.

Introduction: Gallstone may cause complications of cholecystitis, gallbladder gangrene, perforation, and related sepsis. This study aims to identify how CRP and immune cells change in patients with acute calculous cholecystitis based on the severity of disease.
Method: Patients with acute calculous cholecystitis were categorized into three main groups-mild, moderate, and severe-based on the Tokyo guidelines.

Purpose Of Review: This review highlights the role of monocytes in the pathogenesis of HIV-1 infection, focusing on their involvement in the inflammatory response and their function as viral targets and long-term reservoirs.
Recent Findings: Monocytes have been categorized into three subsets: classical, intermediate, and nonclassical, each with distinct functional characteristics. Advances in genetic sequencing technologies have enabled a more in-depth exploration of the phenotypic and functional variations among these subsets, particularly in the context of HIV.

The mechanisms of the innate immunity control of equine infectious anemia virus in horses are not yet widely described. Equine monocytes isolated from the peripheral blood of three Equine infectious anemia (EIA) seronegative horses were differentiated in vitro into macrophages that gave rise to mixed cell populations morphologically referable to M1 and M2 phenotypes. The addition of two equine recombinant cytokines and two EIA virus reference strains, Miami and Wyoming, induced a more specific cell differentiation, and as for other species, IFNγ and IL4 stimulation polarized horse macrophages respectively towards the M1 and the M2 phenotypes.
