AI Article Synopsis

  • Accurate immune cell analysis requires a large quantity of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) from blood samples, but traditional methods often produce low yields and contamination.
  • An optimized protocol using PBS with EDTA has been developed to enhance PBMC yield, particularly from pregnant patients, allowing for better analysis of immune cell types like CD4+, CD8+, and Regulatory T Cells.
  • This refined technique may be applied to various immune cell populations, with detailed instructions available at the SepMate website.

Article Abstract

To analyze immune cell populations accurately, a large number of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) must be obtained from blood samples. Traditional manual isolation and SepMate isolation of PBMCs consistently yield blood-stained plasma layers and overall low numbers of CD4+ and CD8+ cells. Here, we describe an optimized protocol, using PBS with EDTA to increase PBMC yield from pregnant patients. This protocol enables analysis of CD4+, CD8+, and Regulatory T Cells and is potentially applicable to any immune cell population. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to the SepMateTM website https://www.stemcell.com/products/brands/SepMateTM-pbmc-isolation.html.

Background: The mechanism underlying chronic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) remains unclear. Immune activation is a common feature of DILI progression and is closely associated with metabolism. We explored the immunometabolic profile of chronic DILI and the potential mechanism of chronic DILI progression.

Objective: Limited information is available regarding the associations between upper extremity function, activities of daily living (ADLs), and functional capacity in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). This study aimed to investigate the associations between upper extremity function, ADLs, and functional capacity in patients with HFrEF.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 31 patients with HFrEF.

Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is traditionally described as chronic peripheral eosinophilia with involvement of various organs and systems, including the heart and nervous system. In this report, we describe cardiac involvement and border zone stroke in a patient with idiopathic HES. A 37-year-old woman presented with sudden right-sided weakness and slurred speech, which began four days before admission, accompanied by palpitations, retrosternal exertional chest discomfort, dry cough, and progressive shortness of breath over approximately two months.

Background/objectives: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive neoplasm. Although most patients respond to induction therapy, they commonly relapse due to recurrent disease in the bone marrow microenvironment (BMME). So, the disruption of the BMME, releasing tumor cells into the peripheral circulation, has therapeutic potential.
