Studies of methylated CpG ODN from subsp. in a murine model: Implications for treatment of human allergic disease.
Allergy Asthma Proc
January 2025
From the Department of Microbiology-Immunology, Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, D.C.
Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) is currently the most effective immunologic form of treatment for patients with atopic allergic diseases commonly used by allergist/immunologists to reduce allergic symptoms by gradually desensitizing the immune system to specific allergens. Currently, the primary mechanism of AIT emphasizes the crucial role of immune regulation, which involves a shift from a T-helper type 2 (Th2) cell response, which promotes allergy, to a T-regulatory (Treg) cell population, which inhibits the allergic inflammatory response through the production of immunosuppressive cytokines interleukin 10 and transforming growth factor β, which play pivotal roles in suppressing the allergic reaction. In a series of previous in vitro and in vivo experiments, we have demonstrated the capacity of synthetic methylated cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) moieties as well as methylated genomic DNA ODN motifs from Bifidobacterium longum subspecies infantis to activate Treg cell differentiation in contrast to the unmethylated ODN moiety, which promotes proinflammatory responses driven by Th17-mediated responses.

Objective: Ankle osteoarthritis is a debilitating condition that significantly impairs patients' quality of life. Platelet-rich plasma has emerged as a novel cellular therapy in clinical practice. This study evaluates the clinical efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) after intervention in ankle disorders, so as to provide strong evidence in support of clinical treatment.

BMC Nutr
December 2024
Colorectal Research Center, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran.
Background: Perianal fistula is one of the complications of deepened anal fissure. The present case-control study aimed to assess the risk factors of fissure-associated fistulas due to the limited available evidence.
Methods: Patients with fissure-associated fistulas were considered as case, and patients with anal fissure who were undergoing medical treatment without any previous anorectal surgeries were considered as control group.
Gut microbial 'TNFα-sphingolipids-steroid hormones' axis in children with autism spectrum disorder: an insight from meta-omics analysis.
J Transl Med
December 2024
Lishui Key Laboratory of mental Health and brain Disorders, Lishui Second People's Hospital, Lishui, Zhejiang, 323000, China.
Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a persistent neurodevelopmental disorder affecting brains of children. Mounting evidences support the associations between gut microbial dysbiosis and ASD, whereas detailed mechanisms are still obscure.
Methods: Here we probed the potential roles of gut microbiome in ASD using fecal metagenomics and metabolomics.
Implementation of malaria vector surveillance and insecticide resistance monitoring interventions in Nigeria.
Glob Health Res Policy
December 2024
Nigerian Institute of Medical Research, Lagos, Nigeria.
Malaria vector surveillance is required to determine disease transmission dynamics, vector insecticide susceptibility status, suitable control strategies and impact of control interventions. However, capacity and resources for vector surveillance and insecticide resistance monitoring is often inadequate in most countries at risk of vector-borne diseases. Collaborations and linkages between malaria control policy makers and existing research institutions generating vector surveillance research data are often weak, thereby hindering the availability of data for decision-making.
