Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Endocrinology, and Infectious Diseases, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany.
Background And Aim: Bulevirtide (BLV) leads to beneficial virologic and biochemical responses when given alone to treat hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection, which causes the most severe form of chronic viral hepatitis. We evaluated 48 weeks of BLV monotherapy, BLV + tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and BLV + pegylated interferon alfa-2a (Peg-IFNα-2a), with 24-week follow-up.
Methods: Ninety patients were enrolled into six arms of 15 each (A-F); 60 patients were included in the main randomisation (arms A-D), and 30 patients (arms E-F) were randomised to the extension phase: (A) Peg-IFNα-2a 180 μg once weekly (QW); (B) BLV 2 mg once daily (QD) + Peg-IFNα-2a 180 μg QW; (C) BLV 5 mg QD + Peg-IFNα-2a 180 μg QW; (D) BLV 2 mg QD; (E) BLV 10 mg QD + Peg-IFNα-2a 180 μg QW and (F) BLV 10 mg (5 mg twice daily) + TDF QD.
DECORIN, a triceps-derived myokine, protects sorted β-cells and human islets against chronic inflammation associated with type 2 diabetes.

Aim: Pancreatic β-cells are susceptible to inflammation, leading to decreased insulin production/secretion and cell death. Previously, we have identified a novel triceps-derived myokine, DECORIN, which plays a pivotal role in skeletal muscle-to-pancreas interorgan communication. However, whether DECORIN can directly impact β-cell function and susceptibility to inflammation remains unexplored.

The spatial role of M1 and M2 tumor-associated macrophages (M1/M2 TAMs) in precision medicine remains unclear. EGFR and TP53 are among the most frequently mutated genes in lung adenocarcinoma. We characterized the mutation status and density of M1/M2 TAMs within tumor islets and stroma in 117 lung adenocarcinomas using next-generation sequencing and immunohistochemistry, respectively.

College of Animal Science and Technology, Jilin Agricultural University, No. 2888 Xincheng Road, Nanguan District, Changchun, Jilin 130118, China. Electronic address:
Modern management of chicks hinders the vertical transmission of intestinal microbiota, which is closely related to immunity. Inulin is a substrate that can be utilized by the microbiota. This study aimed to determine whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) combined with inulin played a "1 + 1 > 2" role in enhancing the development and function of immune organs.
