Introduction: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease with a high mortality rate and is a public health concern. This study aimed to investigate the associations of serum interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interleukin 10 (IL-10) levels with the prognosis of SFTS patients.
Methodology: A total of 95 patients with confirmed SFTS were included. Clinical and laboratory data were compared between the survival and non-survival groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess independent risk factors for mortality. The predictive efficacies of laboratory markers were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan‒Meier curves based on the log-rank test.
Results: The levels of IL-6 and IL-10 at admission were significantly greater in the non-survival group than in the survival group (p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the IL-6 and IL-10 levels, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) were independent risk factors for a poor prognosis in patients with SFTS. ROC curve analysis revealed that the IL-6 and IL-10 levels and the APTT had a greater predictive value than other measured laboratory markers. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated that SFTS patients with IL-6 > 39.5 pg/mL or IL-10 > 45.2 pg/mL had significantly lower survival within a 30-day follow-up period.
Conclusions: The levels of IL-6 and IL-10 at admission are the best markers for predicting in-hospital mortality of SFTS patients and have potential prognostic value in patients with SFTS.

Background: The few reported patients with pathogenic IRF8 variants have manifested 2 distinct phenotypes: (1) an autosomal recessive severe immunodeficiency with significant neutrophilia and absence of or significant decrease in monocytes and dendritic cells and (2) a dominant-negative form with only a decrease in conventional type 2 dendritic cells (cDC2s) and susceptibility to mycobacterial disease.
Objectives: Genetic testing of a child with persistent EBV viremia identified a novel IRF8 variant: c.1279dupT (p.

Background: Neuroinflammation and neurogenic disorders lead to depression in stroke patients. As, exercise intervention, a non-drug therapy, has been proven effective in post-stroke depression (PSD) patients. However, the underlying molecular mechanism by which exercise improves PSD still needs to be explored.

Background: This article analyzed the relationship between serum sIL-2R levels and Th17/Treg immune balance in patients with rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) and their prognostic value.
Methods: RA patients (n = 311) were retrospectively selected for research and then allocated to the RA and RA-ILD groups. Baseline data and 3-year follow-up records of all patients were attained to assess disease progression.

The complex cytokine network plays an important role in disease susceptibility and development, therefore single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in or near cytokine genes may be relevant to development of systemic sclerosis (SSc). We in this study investigated 22 SNPs in 13 cytokine genes of SSc patients, and their association with disease susceptibility. Twenty-three clinically diagnosed SSc patients were enrolled for this purpose along with 80 healthy volunteers for comparisons.
