AI Article Synopsis

  • IL-6 enhances tissue monitoring, mobility, and the ability of microglia to engulf debris, while IFN-⍺ reduces these functions in mouse microglia.
  • *This research connects changes at the genetic level (transcriptome) with how microglia behave.
  • *The findings could help pave the way for developing treatments for neuroinflammatory diseases driven by cytokines.

Article Abstract

Previous reports have shown that IL-6 and IFN-⍺ induce distinct transcriptomic and morphological changes in microglia. Here, we demonstrate that IL-6 increases tissue surveillance, migration and phagocytosis in primary murine microglia, whereas IFN-⍺ inhibits these functions. Our results provide a crucial link between transcriptome and function. It holds the potential to serve as the foundation for future studies aimed at identifying therapeutic targets for cytokine-mediated neuroinflammatory diseases.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the effects of video scenario-based breathing training on interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in children with Mycoplasma pneumonia.

Methods: A total of 106 children with Mycoplasma pneumonia treated in our hospital from February 2022 to April 2024 were selected. According to different nursing methods, children receiving routine intervention were assigned to the control group, while those undergoing video scenario-based breathing training were assigned to the training group.

The study employed network Meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Chinese patent medicines combined with recombinant human interferon α-2b(interferon) in the treatment of cervical human papillomavirus(HPV) infections. The relevant randomized controlled trial(RCT) published from inception to May 8, 2024 were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMbase, and Web of Science. The modified Jadad scale and the Cochrane risk of bias tool were used to evaluate the quality of the included studies, and RevMan 5.

Genomic profiling of intimal sarcoma reveals molecular subtypes with distinct tumor microenvironments and therapeutic implications.

ESMO Open

January 2025

Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul, Korea; Cancer Research Institute, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea. Electronic address:

Background: Intimal sarcoma is a rare and aggressive soft-tissue sarcoma with limited treatment options. We explored genomic profiles of intimal sarcoma to uncover therapeutic implications.

Materials And Methods: We analyzed tumor tissues from patients with intimal sarcoma who visited the Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH) using whole-exome, whole-transcriptome, and clinical next-generation sequencing (NGS), integrated with intimal sarcoma NGS data from two public cohorts.

Background: Understanding the interference patterns of respiratory viruses could be important for shedding light on potential strategies to combat these human infectious agents.

Objective: To investigate the possible interactions between adenovirus type 2 (AdV2), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and influenza A/H1N1 pandemic (H1N1pdm09) using the A549 cell line.

Methods: Single infections, co-infections, and superinfections (at 3 and 24 h after the first virus infection) were performed by varying the multiplicity of infection (MOI).

The systemic inflammatory response after cardiopulmonary bypass has been widely studied. However, there is a paucity of studies that focus on the local inflammatory changes that occur in the pericardial cavity. The purpose of this study is to assess the inflammatory mediators in the pericardial fluid of patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
