ESAT-6 protein suppresses allograft rejection by inducing CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells through IκBα/cRel pathway by Xiaofei Huang, Xiaofei Huang, Yuqun Zeng, Jingru Lin, Huazhen Liu, Huazhen Liu, Chun-Ling Liang, Chun-Ling Liang, Yuchao Chen, Yuchao Chen, Feifei Qiu, Feifei Qiu, Jonathan S. Bromberg, Zhenhua Dai, Zhenhua Dai

“…Western blotting was used to detect IĸBα/c-Rel signaling during Treg induction. Finally, CD4+CD25- conventional T cells were cultured to induce Tregs and their proliferation.ResultsHere we found that ESAT-6 significantly extended murine skin and heart allograft survival, alleviated CD3+ T cell infiltration and increased Foxp3+ Tregs in an allograft. …”

Impact of dexmedetomidine-ropivacaine versus sufentanil-ropivacaine combination for epidural labour analgesia on neonatal outcomes: a pilot randomised clinical trial by Dong-Xin Wang, Chun-Mei Deng, Ke-Xin Jin, Ting Ding, Yuan Qu

“…Objective To investigate the impact of dexmedetomidine-ropivacaine combination versus sufentanil-ropivacaine combination for epidural labour analgesia on neonatal and maternal outcomes and test the feasibility of a future large, randomised trial.Design A randomised, double-blind, pilot clinical trial from 16 March 2023 to 15 June 2023.Setting A tertiary-care hospital in Beijing, China.Participants 200 women aged≥18 years who had full-term single pregnancy and were scheduled for vaginal delivery with epidural analgesia.Interventions Eligible participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive self-controlled epidural labour analgesia using ropivacaine supplemented with either dexmedetomidine (0.45 µg/mL for induction and 0.36 µg/mL for maintenance) or sufentanil (0.45 µg/mL for induction and 0.36 µg/mL for maintenance).Main outcomes and measures The primary endpoint was a composite of neonatal morbidity, including 1- or 5 min Apgar score&lt;7, umbilical artery PH&lt;7.1, requirement for immediate assisted ventilation and admission to neonatal ward or intensive care unit within 24 hours. …”

Microenvironment-Centred Dynamics in Aggressive B-Cell Lymphomas by Matilde Cacciatore, Carla Guarnotta, Marco Calvaruso, Sabina Sangaletti, Ada Maria Florena, Vito Franco, Mario Paolo Colombo, Claudio Tripodo

“…The cancer-associated microenvironment is a complex network of nonneoplastic immune and stromal cells embedded in extracellular components, giving rise to a multifarious crosstalk with neoplastic cells towards the induction of a supportive milieu. The immunological and stromal microenvironments have been classically regarded as essential partners of indolent lymphomas, while considered mainly negligible in the setting of aggressive B-cell lymphomas that, by their nature, are less reliant on external stimuli. …”
