“…Other prevalence timeframes were reported as secondary measures.Methods Meta-analysis of prevalence data was conducted using random effects models based on individual countries and WHO world regions.Results The literature search identified eight manuscripts summarising 14 studies reporting prevalence for inclusion in the review. All included studies had a low risk of bias. Meta-analysis of the included studies by world region found the 12-month prevalence of history of naturopathy consultations ranged from 1% in the Region of the Americas to 6% in the European and Western Pacific Regions.Conclusions There are up to sixfold differences in the prevalence of naturopathy consults over 12 months between and within world regions, which may be driven by a range of policy, legislative and social factors.PROSPERO registration number CRD42020145529.…”

T lymphocytes induce human cancer cells derived from solid malignant tumors to secrete galectin-9 which facilitates immunosuppression in cooperation with other immune checkpoint pr... by Stephanie Schlichtner, Inna M Yasinska, Gurprit S Lall, Steffen M Berger, Sabrina Ruggiero, Dietmar Cholewa, Nijas Aliu, Bernhard F Gibbs, Elizaveta Fasler-Kan, Vadim V Sumbayev

“…However, solid tumor cells at rest are known to secrete either very low amounts of galectin-9 or, in most of the cases, do not secrete it at all. Our aims were to elucidate whether T cells can induce galectin-9 secretion in human cancer cells derived from solid malignant tumors and whether this soluble form displays higher systemic immunosuppressive activity compared with the cell surface-based protein.Methods A wide range of human cancer cell lines derived from solid tumours, keratinocytes and primary embryonic cells were employed, together with helper and cytotoxic T cell lines and human as well as mouse primary T cells. …”
