Genetic variation of TLR4 influences immunoendocrine stress response: an observational study in cardiac surgical patients [PDF]
Introduction: Systemic inflammation (e.g. following surgery) involves Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling and leads to an endocrine stress response. This study aims to investigate a possible influence of TLR2 and TLR4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)

To study the signal transduction mechanism of interleukin-4 (IL-4), we have examined the effects of IL-4 on protein tyrosine phosphorylation in a mouse IL-2-dependent T cell line, HT2. Mouse IL-4 induces HT2 proliferation in a dose-dependent manner.

ABSTRACT Background Families of children with cancer experience significant financial strain, even with universal healthcare. Indirect costs, such as productivity losses and non‐medical expenses, are rarely included in economic evaluations, and little is known about how effectively financial aid programmes alleviate this burden. Childhood brain tumours

ABSTRACT Background The management of clinically apparent single lesions or oligofocal nephroblastomatosis, a facultative precursor of nephroblastoma, remains debated. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 37 patients with clinically apparent single or oligofocal nephroblastomatosis (two to three lesions per kidney) among 2347 patients registered between

IL-4 regulates B-cell receptor signaling in CLL [PDF]
In this issue of Blood , [Guo et al][1] show that interleukin-4 (IL-4) upregulates surface immunoglobulin M (IgM) expression and B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling capacity of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells, providing an explanation of how anergic CLL cells from the peripheral blood ...

Inpatient Food Insecurity and Pediatric Hematology Oncology Hospitalization Outcomes
ABSTRACT Children with cancer and blood disorders are at risk for food insecurity (FI). We aimed to describe the association of inpatient food insecurity (IFI) and hospitalization outcomes among patients admitted to the pediatric hematology oncology service. Of 325 caregivers screened for IFI, 60 (18.6%) screened positive.

IgE Generation and Mast Cell Activation
IgE is an important marker for allergy and plays a central role in the induction of allergic diseases through its binding of the high affinity receptor on mast cells. Mast cells can influence B cell survival, proliferation and differentiation into CD138 +

Background Bv8, prokineticin-1, or endocrine gland-vascular endothelial growth factor, and prokineticin-2 are recently isolated peptide agonists of two G protein-coupled receptors, prokineticin receptor-1 (PROKR 1) and PROKR 2, and have been described as
