Effects of increasing sensitizing doses of ovalbumin on airway hyperresponsiveness in asthmatic mice
ConclusionOverall, this study demonstrated that sensitization with 50  μg of OVA resulted in the most significant AHR compared to other dosages. These findings may offer valuable insights for future research on mouse asthma modeling protocols. (Source: Immunity, Inflammation and Disease)

Association between helminth infection and allergic disorders among children in Batu, Ethiopia
Conclusion and clinical relevanceThis study found a non-significant inverse association between helminths infection and atopy and allergic disorders, likely due to reduced statistical power, resulting in a lower prevalence of atopy and allergic conditions. A high powered longtitudinal study is necessary to explore the casuality and potential therapeutic benefits of helminths for allergic disorders. (Source: Immunity, Inflammation and Disease)

Investigating the association between the tissue expression of miRNA ‐101, JAK2/STAT3 with TNF‐α, IL‐6, IL‐1β, and IL‐10 cytokines in the ulcerative colitis patients
ConclusionThis study provides evidence of increased miRNA-101 expression in UC tissue, suggesting a potential correlation between miRNA-101 and IL-6 expression and their involvement in the JAK2-STAT3 pathway. The study confirms alterations in UC patients' pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory IL-10. However, further investigations are needed to understand the exact role of miRNA-101 in UC pathogenesis fully. (Source: Immunity, Inflammation and Disease)

Diagnostic value of neutrophil ‐to‐lymphocyte and platelet‐to‐lymphocyte ratio to predict recurrent pregnancy loss and abortion; a systematic review and meta‐analysis
ConclusionNLR was significantly higher among RPL patients compared to the control group, according to these data, NLR may be capable of being used in the diagnosis of RPL as an easy, cheap, and accessible modality. Further studies, which take these variables into account, will need to be undertaken to determine the diagnostic value of NLR and PLR in early pregnancy loss.

Effects of therapeutic hypercapnia on the expression and function of γδT cells in transplanted lungs in rats
ConclusionOur findings suggest that γδ T lymphocytes were directly involved in lung injury. In addition, therapeutic hypercapnia effectively reduced the expression of γδ T cells and IL-17, and this has the potential to become a treatment strategy for IRI and an intervention to improve lung function.

Berberine: A natural modulator of immune cells in multiple sclerosis
There have been considerable changes discovered in multiple sclerosis  (MS) regards to the function and frequency of T cell subsets such as Th1 cells, Th17 cells, Th2 cells, Treg cells, and dendritic cells (DCs). In the current research, we reviewed the outcomes of in vitro, experimental, and clinical investigations concerning the modulatory effects that Berberine pr ovides on the function and numbers of T cell subsets and DCs, as well as important cytokines that are involved in MS. AbstractBerberine is a benzylisoquinoline alkaloid found in such plants asBerberis vulgaris, Berberis aristata, and others, revealing a varie...
