Introduction: The aim of the study was to detect the saliva chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 13 (CXCL13), macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), and interleukin 35 (IL-35) levels in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) and pSS-associated interstitial lung disease (pSS-ILD), and to explore the relationship between CXCL13, MIF, IL-35 levels, and disease severity.

Material And Methods: ESSDAI score was used to evaluate the disease activity of pSS patients, and the levels of CXCL13, MIF and IL-35 in saliva of subjects were detected and analyzed, and the relationship between CXCL13, MIF, IL-35 and the occurrence of pSS was evaluated. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between CXCL13, MIF, IL-35 and ESSDAI score. ROC curve analysis was conducted to assess the diagnostic value of CXCL13, MIF, IL-35 and their combined application in pSS.

Results: The levels of CXCL13, MIF, and IL-35 in saliva were positively correlated with ESSDAI score. Saliva CXCL13 and IL-35 are risk factors for the development of pSS into pSS-ILD. The ROC curve shows that the combination of saliva CXCL13, MIF and IL-35 has the highest diagnostic efficiency for pSS-ILD.

Conclusions: CXCL13, MIF and IL-35 are related to the activity of pSS, and the combined diagnosis of these three indexes is expected to be an important method to predict the occurrence and development of pSS.

Background: Numerous gene signatures predicting the prognosis of bladder cancer have been identified. However, a tumor-specific T cell signature related to immunotherapy response in bladder cancer remains under investigation.

Methods: Single-cell RNA and TCR sequencing from the Gene expression omnibus (GEO) database were used to identify tumor-specific T cell-related genes in bladder cancer.

Background: Immune-based therapies are commonly employed to combat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the presence of immune-regulating elements, especially regulatory T cells (Tregs), can dramatically impact the treatment efficacy. A deeper examination of the immune-regulation mechanisms linked to these inhibitory factors and their impact on HCC patient outcomes is warranted.

Objectives: We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) inflammatory markers for diagnosing bacterial meningitis in neonates with sepsis and/or meningitis.

Methods: Cases were identified from a prospective multicenter study including patients aged 0-3 months with Group B Streptococcal (GBS) or Escherichia coli culture positive sepsis/meningitis. CSF CXCL10, MDC, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF- α, MIF, IL-1RA, CXCL13, IL-1β, CRP and procalcitonin concentrations were measured with Luminex technology.

Article Synopsis
  • * Multi-omics analyses of blood and tissue samples from a clinical trial revealed that higher immune scores correlate with better responses to ICIs, while certain immune cells, like regulatory T cells, negatively impact survival.
  • * Variations in immune cell density and proximity to tumor cells influence survival outcomes, and soluble proteins found in the blood could serve as indicators for treatment effectiveness and overall survival in SqNSCLC patients.
