Platycodon grandiflorus polysaccharide (PGP) is one of the main components of P. grandiflorus, but the mechanism of its anti-inflammatory effect has not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of PGP on mice with dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) and explore the underlying mechanisms. The results showed that PGP treatment inhibited the weight loss of DSS-induced UC mice, increased colon length, and reduced DAI, spleen index, and pathological damage within the colon. PGP also reduced the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and inhibited the enhancement of oxidative stress and MPO activity. Meanwhile, PGP restored the levels of Th1, Th2, Th17, and Treg cell-related cytokines and transcription factors in the colon to regulate colonic immunity. Further studies revealed that PGP regulated the balance of colonic immune cells through mesenteric lymphatic circulation. Taken together, PGP exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effect and regulates colonic immunity to attenuate DSS-induced UC through mesenteric lymphatic circulation.

Objective: Splenectomy is regularly performed in total and distal pancreatectomy due to technical reasons, lymph node dissection and radicality of the operation. However, the spleen serves as an important organ for competent immune function, and its removal is associated with an increased incidence of cancer and a worse outcome in some cancer entities (Haematologica 99:392-398, 2014; Dis Colon Rectum 51:213-217, 2008; Dis Esophagus 21:334-339, 2008). The impact of splenectomy in pancreatic cancer is not fully resolved (J Am Coll Surg 188:516-521, 1999; J Surg Oncol 119:784-793, 2019).

Synovial sarcoma is an aggressive soft-tissue cancer that shows limited responses to current immunotherapeutic approaches using immune checkpoint blockade or adoptive cell therapy. To improve immunotherapy for this cancer, understanding how the immune cells in the tumor microenvironment associate with histological subtype, disease progression and current therapies is vital. To evaluate the immune infiltrate in synovial sarcoma in relation to histological subtype, disease progression and in response to cytotoxic treatment, we performed immunodetection of T cells, CD68 myeloid cells, endothelial cells and keratin on a series of 41 synovial sarcoma patients at various stages of disease.

Gut microbiota dysbiosis significantly contributes either to metabolic or immune diseases. Modulating the gut microbiome is the subject of intense research, but how immunonutritional ingredients from Chenopodium quinoa contribute to shaping the commensal microbiome and its metabolic capacities has not been determined. Sixty healthy volunteers participated in a double-blind, randomized parallel pilot study with two study arms: high fat-containing cookie and a C.

Unlabelled: Vaccination has been considered the most crucial defence against viral infections, including SARS-CoV-2. Numerous reports have demonstrated the effectiveness of the above vaccines in oncological patients. It has also been proven that, apart from vaccinations and oncological therapy, the course of the cancer process itself influences the magnitude of the humoral response, especially in people after infection with SARS-CoV-2.

Background: Intestinal inflammation is a common and serious health problem in piglet production, especially enteritis caused by pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli). This condition often leads to high mortality, slow weight gain, and significant economic losses.
