Performance of interferon-γ release assay in the diagnosis of tuberculous lymphadenitis: a meta-analysis [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Background The diagnostic values of interferon-gamma release assays (IGRA) in tuberculosis (TB) vary a lot with different site of infections, with especially higher sensitivities in chronic forms of TB such as tuberculosis of the lymph node. We conducted

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective The prognosis of glioblastoma (GBM) remains highly unfavorable, largely due to high tumor heterogeneity and an immunosuppressive microenvironment. However, the functional role of PANoptosis in this context is poorly understood. Methods Patients were stratified via K‐means clustering. A risk score model was constructed using prognosis‐

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Progression independent of relapse activity is a major determinant of long‐term disability in multiple sclerosis, but its immunopathologic basis remains incompletely understood. We investigated whether relapse‐independent progression in radiologically stable relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis is associated with distinct ...

Nanomaterial Strategies for Pulmonary Delivery of Immunotherapeutics in Lung Cancer Treatment
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Inhalable immunotherapeutic nanomedicines enable organ‐selective immune modulation by overcoming pulmonary delivery barriers and concentrating therapy within lung tumors. This Review defines how nanomaterial properties govern airway deposition, retention, cellular partitioning, and immune activation across vaccines, checkpoint blockade, STING agonists,

Diagnostic utility of interferon-gamma release assay in extrapulmonary tuberculosis
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2015 Early diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EP-TB) is essential. However, diagnosis of EP-TB is difficult. We evaluated the diagnostic utility of an interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) in diagnosing active EP-TB among suspected patients in Korea.
