Therefore, we explored the temporal dynamics of key cellular and soluble mediators of innate and adaptive immune activation in relation to COVID-19 severity and progression. Forty-four patients with a PCR-proven diagnosis of COVID-19 were included. Extensive cellular (leukocytes and T-lymphocyte subsets) and serological immune profiling (cytokines, soluble cell surface molecules, and SARS-CoV-2 antibodies) was performed at hospital admission and every 3-4 days during hospitalization. Measurements and disease outcome were compared between patients with an unfavorable (IC admission and/or death) and favorable (all others) outcome. Patients with an unfavorable outcome had higher leukocyte numbers at baseline, mostly due to increased neutrophils, whereas lymphocyte and monocyte numbers were reduced. CRP, IL-6, CCL2, CXCL10, and GM-CSF levels were higher at baseline in the unfavorable group, whereas IL-7 levels were lower. SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were more frequently absent in the unfavorable group. Longitudinal analysis revealed delayed kinetics of activated CD4 and CD8 T-lymphocyte subsets in the unfavorable group. Furthermore, whereas CRP, IL-6, CXCL10, and GM-CSF declined in the favorable group, these cytokines declined with delayed kinetics, remained increased, or even increased further in the unfavorable group.

Although several antidiabetic drugs have been approved, none of them are adequately effective in the long-term management of T2D. Therefore, novel treatment options are needed for disease prevention or delaying disease progression. Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a cytoplasmic enzyme that plays a role in B-cell differentiation and proliferation, and therapeutic targeting of BTK offers protection against chronic diseases. In this study, we analyzed BTK expression and its correlation with inflammatory mediators in patients with diabetes and obesity. The levels of BTK were significantly high in visceral adipose tissues of patients (p < 0.01) with diabetes and obesity compared with healthy controls. Additionally, a positive correlation was noted between the expression of BTK and the inflammatory cytokine genes TNF-α, INF-γ, IL-6, and IL-1 (p < 0.01) in adipose tissue. In insulin-resistant HepG2 cells (IR-HepG2), ibrutinib inhibited BTK expression in parallel with inflammatory genes, and increased insulin signaling and activity compared with untreated IR-HepG2 cells. Additionally, ibrutinib-treated IR-HepG2 cells showed increased glucose uptake compared with untreated IR-HepG2 cells.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the response to tuberculosis treatment using the QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) kit. Blood samples of 100 patients with active TB were taken before treatment and after three months, if treatment was successful and sputum culture was negative. Whole blood was incubated in the presence or absence of the TB antigens, TB1 and TB2-specific antigens, and the production of IFN-γ was determined using the QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) test. The data were analyzed using SPSS 16 software and statistical significance was assessed at a two-tailed P value of 0.05. The median values of IFN-γ released following stimulation with TB1 peptides decreased slightly after treatment (2.5 IU/mL (IQR: 0.9-5.3), compared to the baseline (3.4 IU/mL (IQR: 0.5-6.6)). Also, with respect to the TB1 antigen, 38 out of 45 patients were positive for the QFT test before treatment (84.4%) and 37 cases after treatment (82.2%).
