Splenic and peritoneal cells from uninfected mice exhibited selective cytotoxic activity against Salmonella-infected L929 fibroblast cells. Although the level of killing was low, the results were significantly different from the killing of uninfected L929 cells (p < 0.01) by either effector cell population. Salmonella typhimurium-activated splenic and peritoneal exudate (PE) cells exhibited enhanced killing of Salmonella-infected L929 targets and YAC-1 cells compared to endogenous natural killer activity by splenic and peritoneal cells from uninfected mice. When Salmonella-infected (60 h postinfection) or uninfected mice received an i.p. injection of anti-asialo GM1 12 h prior to harvesting the splenic or peritoneal cells (72 h postinfection), target cell killing was < 2%. In all cases, activated PE cells exhibited the greatest killing activity against uninfected and Salmonella-infected L929 fibroblast cells and YAC-1 targets (p < 0.01).

Trained immunity (TI) is the process wherein innate immune cells gain functional memory upon exposure to specific ligands or pathogens, leading to augmented inflammatory responses and pathogen clearance upon secondary exposure. While the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and reprogramming of bone marrow (BM) progenitors are well-established mechanisms underpinning durable TI protection, remodeling of the cellular architecture within the tissue during TI remains underexplored. Here, we study the effects of peritoneal Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) administration to find TI-mediated protection in the spleen against a subsequent heterologous infection by the Gram-negative pathogen Typhimurium (.

Background: Tumor deposits (TDs) can impact proper staging of cancer, which is crucial for discussing prognosis and determining the appropriate treatment plan. Our study aimed to correlate how TDs influence prognosis of resected colorectal cancer (CRC) and how to optimize tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging with respect to TDs for clinical decision-making.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 611 patients with CRC treated in Jiangsu Cancer Hospital from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2020 among whom 197 had TDs.

Pancreatic cancer is a highly aggressive malignancy with the majority of patients presenting at a late stage with unresectable or metastatic disease. Even with first line treatment, median survival is approximately 11 months in patients with advanced PDAC. This report details the unique case of a patient that presented with peritoneal metastases from an adenocarcinoma of the body of the pancreas, had a remarkable response to palliative chemotherapy and is alive without evidence of disease 12 months following cessation of all active treatment.

Introduction: Accessory spleens are a common anatomical variant, consisting of ectopic splenic tissue present in different locations in the peritoneal cavity. Typically asymptomatic, the presence of these tissue grows to be of clinical importance when complicated by infarction, rupture, or torsion.
Presentation Of Case: We report the case of a 36-year-old female that presented to the Emergency Department for diffuse abdominal pain and was found to have a partially ruptured splenule secondary to a venous infarct on abdominal computed tomography scan.
Early neutrophil activation and NETs release in the pristane-induced lupus mice model.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of NETosis in the initiation of lupus using a mouse model.
- Mice injected with pristane showed significantly more activated neutrophils and low-density granulocytes, as well as increased release of neutrophil extracellular traps compared to the control group.
- These findings suggest that early activation of neutrophils and NETosis may contribute to the development of lupus in this model.
