The ratio of granulocyte-like cells to epithelial cells was examined in the fimbriae, ampullary, and isthmic regions of oviducts obtained from normal women of reproductive age, from postpartum women, from menopausal women, from women on combined oral contraceptives and from women with adnexal pathology. Only patients on oral contraceptives had a significantly high percentage of granulocyte-like cells as did one patient with acute salpingitis.

In many industrial activities, workers may be exposed by inhalation to particles that are aerosolized, To predict the human health hazard of these materials, we propose to develop a co-culture model (macrophages, granulocytes, and alveolar epithelial cells) designed to be more representative of the inflammatory pulmonary response occurring in vivo. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-differentiated THP-1 cells were used as macrophages, All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-differentiated HL60 were used as granulocytes and A549 were used as epithelial alveolar type II cells. A crystalline silica sample DQ12 was used as a prototypical particle for its capabilities to induce DNA damage, inflammatory response, and oxidative stress in epithelial cells; its polyvinylpyridine-N-oxide (PVNO)-surface modified counterpart was also used as a negative particulate control.

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been shown to exhibit chemotactic effects on circulating tumor cells at metastatic sites, promoting the progression of colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM). However, the origin and factors contributing to the formation of NETs (NETosis) in the pre-metastatic niche (PMN) of target organs remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the relationship between phosphatase of regenerating liver-3 (PRL-3), myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), neutrophils, and NETs through a retrospective clinical cohort study and a mouse model of CRLM.

Article Synopsis
- - A new subtype of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) was identified in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), characterized by monocytes expressing granulocyte marker CD15, which increased in both blood and tumor tissues.
- - This granulocyte-like monocyte population was linked to elevated levels of granulocyte-monocyte precursors (GMPs) in the peripheral blood, indicating a distinct immune profile in CRC patients.
- - The study revealed that these monocytes suppress natural killer (NK) cell activity by inducing specific markers (TIGIT and NKp30), leading to a higher frequency of dysfunctional NK cells, highlighting a potential target for cancer immunotherapy.

Studying inflammatory responses induced by vaccination can contribute to a more detailed understanding of underlying immune mechanisms in lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus). Tissue samples from lumpfish intraperitoneally immunized with a divalent oil-adjuvanted vaccine (Aeromonas salmonicida and Vibrio salmonicida) at water temperatures of 5, 10, and 15°C were collected at 630 day degrees and 18 weeks post injection. The relative amount of secretory and membrane-bound immunoglobulin M (IgM) gene transcripts in the head kidney was determined by qPCR.

Purpose: To investigate whether prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is affected by the abundance and subgroups of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) as well as subtypes and expression of apolipoprotein E (apoE).
Methods: 31 HCC patients were divided into three groups according to blood total apoE level for detecting the abundance of immunoregulatory cells by flow cytometry. Tumour tissue microarrays from 360 HCC patients were evaluated about the abundance and subgroups of MDSCs and the expression of apoE2, apoE3, apoE4 by immunofluorescence staining and immunohistochemistry staining.
