Fresh human peripheral blood mononuclear lymphocytes and lymphoblasts that had been grown for a period in T-cell growth-factor containing medium were stimulated with staphylococcal enterotoxin A plus mezerein to produce interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). Growing lymphoblasts produced peak levels of IFN-gamma much earlier after induction than fresh lymphocytes. Quantitation of the steady-state levels of IFN-gamma mRNA showed these to differ markedly between the two cell types over a period of time post-induction. In fresh lymphocytes the steady-state levels of IFN-gamma mRNA increased to a peak level over a period of 4 days while in growing lymphoblasts the peak level occurred after 8 hours. These differences in IFN-gamma mRNA production were shown to be not the result of gross alteration of RNA metabolism following blast transformation.

Background: Gut microbiota disturbance may worsen critical illnesses and is responsible for the progression of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. In our previous study, there was a trend towards a higher α-diversity of the gut microbiota in sequential feeding (SF) than in continuous feeding (CF) for critically ill patients. We designed this non-blinded, randomized controlled study to confirm these results.

The highly valued oil of Mill. (Rosaceae), widely used in high perfumery, cosmetics, and other spheres of human life, obliges us to know and study the safety profile of the product obtained from the water-steam distillation of fresh rose petals. The genotoxicity of the essential oil (EsO) has not been thoroughly studied despite its wide range of applications.

Background: Due to its strong immunogenicity and tumor specificity, neoplastic antigen has emerged as an immunotherapy target with wide therapeutic prospect and clinical application value. Anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1) antibodies reinvigorate T cell-mediated antitumor immunity. So, we conducted single-arm trial to assess the safety and efficacy of PD-1 blockade(Camrelizumab)-activated neoantigen specific cellular therapy (aNASCT) on advanced relapsed non-small lung cancer(NSCLC)(ClinicalTrials.

Background: Recent studies have highlighted the distinct ratio of PD-1 + Treg/PD-1 + CD8 for prognosis prediction. However, it remains unclear about the association of this ratio and tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) with prognosis and response to neoadjuvant or conversion therapy in advanced gastric cancer.
Methods: Firstly, fresh postoperative samples from 68 gastric cancer patients in Renji Hospital were collected.
Itaconate Ameliorates Experimental Autoimmune Uveitis by Modulating Teff/Treg Cell Imbalance Via the DNAJA1/CDC45 Axis.

Department of Ophthalmology, Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, China.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of itaconate (ITA) on experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU), to explore its potential mechanism, and to identify potential therapeutic targets.
Methods: We established an animal model of EAU by constructing an immune map of mice treated with ITA and exploring the therapeutic mechanism of ITA by single-cell RNA sequencing and flow cytometry.
Results: ITA mitigated ocular inflammation associated with EAU and reversed the pathogenic differentiation linked to Th17 induction by EAU, along with the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress pathways.
