Objectives: The research aimed to assess the proportions of Gamma delta (γδ) T cells and the expression levels of CD226, ICOS, CD40L, OX40, TIGIT, LAG-3, Tim-3, and PD-1 on γδ T cells in the peripheral blood of patients diagnosed with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), and to evaluate the clinical significance of these findings.
Methods: Utilizing flow cytometry, we investigated the proportion of γδ T cells and the expression of CD226, ICOS, CD40L, OX40, TIGIT, LAG-3, PD-1, and Tim-3 on γδ T cells in 37 patients diagnosed with pSS and 28 healthy controls (HC). Moreover, we explored the potential associations between the proportion of γδ T cells, TIGIT + γδ T cells, PD-1 + γδ T cells, and TIGIT + PD-1 + γδ T cells with clinical symptoms and laboratory parameters.

Cells regulate gene expression through various RNA regulatory mechanisms, and this regulation often becomes less efficient with age, contributing to accelerated aging and various age-related diseases. Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), a well-characterized RNA surveillance mechanism, degrades aberrant mRNAs with premature termination codons (PTCs) to prevent the synthesis of truncated proteins. While the role of NMD in cancer and developmental and genetic diseases is well documented, its implications in human aging remain largely unexplored.

In molybdenum-99 (Mo) production facilities via the fission method, appropriate transportation containers must be used to transfer irradiated targets from the irradiation facility to the processing facility, following the requirements for transferring radioactive materials. In the Mo production industrial plan of Iran, the transportation container must be capable of carrying a holster containing nine irradiated low-enriched uranium targets, known as a hot batch. In this article, the proper shielding of two-layer containers based on the gamma spectrum emitted from the radioisotope inventory of a local hot batch, including fission products, activation products, and other radioisotopes produced from their decay chains, was investigated by using Monte Carlo code MCNP6.

We consider kernel-based supervised learning using random Fourier features, focusing on its statistical error bounds and generalization properties with general loss functions. Beyond the least squares loss, existing results only demonstrate worst-case analysis with rate n and the number of features at least comparable to n, and refined-case analysis where it can achieve almost n rate when the kernel's eigenvalue decay is exponential and the number of features is again at least comparable to n. For the least squares loss, the results are much richer and the optimal rates can be achieved under the source and capacity assumptions, with the number of features smaller than n.
