Humans usually become infected by eating freshwater crabs or crayfish containing encysted metacercariae of these worms. However, an alternative route of infection exists: ingestion of raw meat from a mammalian paratenic host. Adult worms normally occur in pairs in cysts in the lungs from which they void their eggs via air passages. The pulmonary form is typical in cases of human infection due to P. westermani, P. heterotremus, and a few other species. Worms may occupy other sites in the body, notably the brain, but lung flukes have made their presence felt in almost every organ. Ectopic paragonimiasis is particularly common when infection is due to members of the P. skrjabini complex. Human paragonimiasis occurs primarily in the tropics and subtropics of Asia, Africa, and the Americas, with different species being responsible in different areas (Table 6.1).</p>","PeriodicalId":7270,"journal":{"name":"Advances in experimental medicine and biology","volume":"1454 ","pages":"203-238"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141615616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At face value, KLF1 is a rather inconspicuous member of the 26-strong SP/KLF TF family. However, 30 years of research have revealed that KLF1 is a jack of all trades in the molecular control of erythropoiesis. Initially described as a one-trick pony required for high-level transcription of the adult HBB gene, we now know that it orchestrates the entire erythroid differentiation program. It does so not only as an activator but also as a repressor. In addition, KLF1 was the first TF shown to be directly involved in enhancer/promoter loop formation. KLF1 variants underlie a wide range of erythroid phenotypes in the human population, varying from very mild conditions such as hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin and the In(Lu) blood type in the case of haploinsufficiency, to much more serious non-spherocytic hemolytic anemias in the case of compound heterozygosity, to dominant congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type IV invariably caused by a de novo variant in a highly conserved amino acid in the KLF1 DNA-binding domain.

Intestinal epithelial cells obstruct harmful substances passing through the epithelium as a physical and chemical barrier; Moreover, the epithelial cells can express Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and cytokines to exert innate immune function. In addition, high levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA) and other antibodies exist in the intestinal mucosa, maintaining intestinal immune homeostasis in conjunction with intestinal probiotics. Traditionally, these antibodies have been deemed to be secreted by submucosal plasma cells. Nonetheless, in recent years, it has been demonstrated that intestinal epithelial cells produce a substantial amount of Igs, especially IgA or free Ig light chains, which are involved in intestinal immune homeostasis and the survival of normal epithelial cells. Furthermore, mounting evidence affirms that many human carcinoma cells, including colorectal cancer (CRC), can overexpress Igs, particularly IgG. Cancer-derived Igs exhibit a unique V(D)J rearrangement pattern distinct from B cell-derived Ig; moreover, this cancer cell-derived IgG also has a unique sialic acid modification on the 162 site of CH1 domain (SIA-IgG). The SIA-IgG plays a crucial role in promoting cancer initiation, progression, metastasis, and tumour immune escape. Simultaneously, CRC cells can also express free Ig light chains, which promote colitis, colitis-associated colon carcinogenesis, and CRC progression. Therefore, Igs expressed by CRC cells could be a potential target for diagnosing and preventing the transformation of inflammation into cancer, as well as treating CRC.</p>","PeriodicalId":7270,"journal":{"name":"Advances in experimental medicine and biology","volume":"1445 ","pages":"137-149"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141533330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both familial and sporadic cases of CSS are often precipitated by acute infections. It is also important to note that an underlying precipitating infection might not be clinically obvious as the CSS clinical picture can mimic an infectious process or an overwhelming septicemia. It is important to detect such an underlying treatable condition. In addition, infections can also be acquired during the course of CSS due to the concurrent immune suppression with treatment. Optimal CSS outcomes require treating bacterial infections when recognized.CSS should always be suspected in patients presenting with a sepsis-like or multi-organ dysfunction picture. There are many criteria proposed to diagnose CSS in general, with HLH-2004 being the most commonly used. Alternatively, criteria have been proposed for CSS occurring in specific underlying conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA). However, waiting for many of these criteria to be fulfilled could lead to significant delay in diagnosis, and the physician needs a high index of suspicion for CSS in critically ill febrile hospitalized patients in order to properly recognize the condition.
