The Utility of Synovial Fluid Interleukin-10 in Diagnosing Chronic Periprosthetic Joint Infection: A Prospective Cohort Study by Zou Y, Yang Y, Yang J, Zhang Y, Zhao C, Qin L, Hu N

“…Adding SF IL-10 to traditional models improved risk prediction for chronic PJI (net reclassification improvement [NRI]: 0.167 [0.023 ~ 0.312]; integrated discrimination improvement [IDI]: 0.160 [0.096 ~ 0.224]).Conclusion: Higher SF IL-10 levels were significantly associated with chronic PJI in revision surgery patients, and incorporating SF IL-10 into the traditional risk model enhanced its predictive value for chronic PJI in these patients.Keywords: periprosthetic infection, synovial fluid, interleukin-10, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate…”

Infiltration of CD8+ cytotoxic T-cells and expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 in ovarian clear cell carcinoma by Mengdi Fu, Huimei Zhou, Jiaxin Yang, Dongyan Cao, Zhen Yuan

“…In adjacent nonneoplastic regions, worse PFS was significantly observed in patients with high CD8+ T-cell expression in both total and stromal cells than those with low expression (p = 0.012 vs p = 0.007). The presence of CD8+ T-cells had significant potential for predicting the prognosis of patients with OCCC, which lays a foundation for the development of biomarkers for immune checkpoint blockade treatment response in OCCC patients.…”
