IntroductionAnti-NMDA receptor encephalitis is an autoimmune disorder caused by autoantibodies (abs) against the conformational epitope on GluN1 subunits. GluN1-abs have been determined with cell-based assay (CBA) co-expressing GluN1/GluN2 subunits. Ho…
Hyperuricaemia (HUA) is a metabolic disorder characterised by high blood uric acid (UA) levels; moreover, HUA severity is closely related to the gut microbiota. HUA is also a risk factor for renal damage, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidaemia; howe…
A universal recombinant adenovirus type-5 (Ad5) vaccine against COVID19 (Ad-US) was constructed, and immunogenicity and broad-spectrum of Ad5-US were evaluated with both intranasal and intramuscular immunization routes. The humoral immune response of A…
BackgroundAtopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic skin disease characterized by type 2-skewed immune responses, and significantly influenced by cytokines dependent on Janus kinases (JAKs). Upadacitinib, a JAK1 inhibitor, is effective for moderate-to-severe…
IntroductionDuring an innate inflammation, immune cells form distinct pro- and anti-inflammatory regions around pathogen-containing core-regions. Mast cells are localized in an anti-inflammatory microenvironment during the resolution of an innate infla…
ObjectivesInterstitial lung disease (ILD) is one of the common extramuscular involvement in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) (1). Several patients develop a progressive fibrosing ILD (PF-ILD) despite conventional treatment, resulting in a prog…
Breast cancer (BC) stands out as the cancer with the highest incidence of morbidity and mortality among women worldwide, and its incidence rate is currently trending upwards. Improving the efficiency of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment is crucial,…
IntroductionNon-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) encompasses a diverse group of lymphoma subtypes with a wide range in disease course. Previous studies show that hypogammaglobulinemia in treatment-naïve patients is associated with poorer survival in high grade…
ObjectivesImmune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the application of ICIs can also cause treatment-related adverse events (trAEs) and immune-related adverse events (irAEs). T…
