Analysis of HLA Profiles in 390 Uveitis Cases: Insights into Clinical Presentations
CONCLUSIONS: Human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) play a significant role in the mechanism of uveitis. HLA-B27 exhibits high diagnostic value in acute AU, while HLA-DR4 and HLA-DRw53 are crucial for diagnosing binocular uveitis, particularly Vogt Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome. Further investigation is warranted to explore the relationship between HLA-DR4, HLA-DRw53, and uveitis.PMID:37708541

PIK3R6 Promotes Angiogenesis in Hepatocellular carcinoma by Activating STAT3 Signaling Pathway
This study aims to explore the intrinsic mechanism of PIK3R6 and provide theoretical reference for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.METHODS: Differential expressions of PIK in ovarian cancer and normal ones were detected by Western blotting and quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Analyze the relationship between the expression of PIK3R6 and patient prognosis through the TCGA database. Subsequently constructed corresponding stable cell lines, combined with transcriptome sequencing and several cell biology experiments, we explored the inner mechanism and clinical significance of PIK3R6.RESULT...

Klebsiella pneumoniae: adaptive immune landscapes and vaccine horizons
Trends Immunol. 2023 Sep 11:S1471-4906(23)00159-X. doi: 10.1016/j.it.2023.08.005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTKlebsiella pneumoniae is among the most common antibiotic-resistant pathogens causing nosocomial infections. Additionally, it is a leading cause of neonatal sepsis and childhood mortality across the globe. Despite its clinical importance, we are only beginning to understand how the mammalian adaptive immune system responds to this pathogen. Further, many studies investigating potential K. pneumoniae vaccine candidates or alternative therapies have been launched in recent years. Here, we review the current state o...
