Inflammatory biomarker changes in healthy adults secondary to electronic cigarette use: A scoping review
ConclusionThe results of studies evaluated in our scoping review suggested that short-term use of nicotine-containing ECs may result in increased CV and oxidative stress inflammation, contributing to potential CV or neurologic disease development. The results of studies evaluated in our scoping review also suggested that long-term use of nicotine-containing ECs resulted in no significant changes in general inflammatory biomarker levels. A rigorous systematic review and meta-analysis is necessary to corroborate our findings and to determine the effect of long-term EC use on MMP-9 and IL-6 levels.

Potential clinical implications of molecular mimicry ‐induced autoimmunity
ConclusionsMolecular mimicry plausibly explains initial stages of autoimmune pathogenesis induced by infection or microbiota disturbances. Understanding mimicry antigens and pathways could enable improved prediction, monitoring, and antigen-specific immunotherapy for autoimmune disorders. However, definitive proof of causation in humans remains limited. Further research should focus on establishing clinical evidence and utility. (Source: Immunity, Inflammation and Disease)

Serological detection of Newcastle disease virus in backyard poultry production system in Woliso District South West Shewa, Central Ethiopia
ConclusionFrom the finding, we conclude that indirect ELISA test detected the presence of the NDV in the study area and the heterogeneousity of antibody titer in the study area. Therefore, further molecular characterization and epidemiological investigation should be carried and vaccination of animals is critical in the study area.

Efficacy, safety and the lymphocyte subsets changes of low ‐dose IL‐2 in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
ConclusionLD-IL-2 was promising and well-tolerated in treating SLE, which could promote Treg's proliferation and functional recovery. Injecting 0.5 million IU of IL-2 daily can better induce the differentiation of Treg cells and maintain immune homeostasis than injecting 1 million IU every other day.

m5C regulator ‐mediated methylation modification patterns and tumor microenvironment infiltration characteristics in acute myeloid leukemia
ConclusionsThis study shows that m5C modification may be one of the key roles in the formation of diversity and complexity of TME. Meanwhile, assessing the patterns of m5C modification among individual cancer samples is of great importance, which provides insights into cell infiltration features within TME, thereby helping to develop relevant immunotherapy and predict patient prognostic outcomes.

Effect of serum inflammatory factors in predicting co ‐infection with influenza viruses and Omicron
ConclusionThe findings suggest that prealbumin is a valuable indicator that can warn of co-infection and guide timely treatment decisions. Joint prediction may offer an even more effective diagnostic tool for discriminating co-infection from mono-infection. (Source: Immunity, Inflammation and Disease)

Analysis of intestinal flora in elderly Uygur patients with sarcopenia
ConclusionIn conclusion, Lachnoclostridium is significantly enriched in the intestines of elderly Uygur patients with sarcopenia; the increase in Lachnoclostridium abundance and the decrease in Streptobacillus abundance are associated with high levels of IL-6. Therefore, abnormal intestinal flora is related to inflammatory reflexes in patients with sarcopenia. (Source: Immunity, Inflammation and Disease)
