Using immunohistochemistry, we evaluated K17 and p27 expression and assessed their biological behavior and prognostic significance in 326 colorectal cancers. High K17 expression was associated with poorly differentiated tumors, high pT classification, and lymph node metastases. Low p27 expression was associated with large tumors, high pT classification, lymphovascular invasion, and lymph node metastases. The overall survival of patients with high K17 expression was significantly worse than that of patients with low K17 expression [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.805, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.169–2.787; p = 0.007]. Patients with low p27 expression showed significantly worse overall survival than those with high p27 expression (HR = 3.082, 95% CI 1.722–5.517; p < 0.001). When combining the results of K17 and p27 expression, the K17highp27low expression group showed the worst overall survival. On the contrary, the K17high/lowp27high group showed the best overall survival (p < 0.001). Therefore, K17highp27low expression is an independent poor prognostic factor in colorectal cancer. Thus, high K17 and low p27 expression correlate with aggressive clinicopathologic behavior and can be used as poor prognostic markers in colorectal cancer.","PeriodicalId":8167,"journal":{"name":"Apmis","volume":"133 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142613982","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}

English-published studies between 2004 and 2024 involving systemic antibiotic administration in orthopedically relevant tissues and settings based on dynamic measurements were included. In total, 5385 titles were identified. After title and abstract screening, 97 eligible studies (43 different antibiotic drugs) were included. The studies covered both preclinical (42%) and clinical studies including healthy and infected tissues (21%) and prophylactic and steady-state situations (35%). Microdialysis emerged as the predominant sampling method in 98% of the studies. Most of the presented antibiotics (80%) were only assessed once or twice. Among the most extensively studied antibiotics were cefuroxime (18 studies), linezolid (9 studies) and vancomycin (9 studies). This review presents valuable insights into the microenvironmental distribution of antibiotics in orthopedically relevant target tissues and settings and seeks to provide a basis for improving dosing recommendations and treatment outcomes. However, it is important to acknowledge that our findings are limited to the specific drug, dosing regimens, administration method and target tissue, and are crucially linked to the selected PK/PD target.","PeriodicalId":8167,"journal":{"name":"Apmis","volume":"132 12","pages":"992-1025"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11582342/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142613897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to compare the immune response after vaccination between COVID-19 convalescents and naïve patients. Blood samples from COVID-19 convalescents and naïve patients, taken 1, 3 and 6 months after the second dose of vaccine (mRNA-vaccine BNT162b2), were analysed for anti-spike IgG and avidity. Questionnaires concerning side effects were used. Thirty-one patients in the COVID-19 cohort and 30 patients in the naïve cohort were included. High levels of anti-spike IgG and avidity index were seen. Anti-spike IgG were significantly higher in the COVID-19 cohort and declining (median 1250, 566, 282 RU/ml vs 565, 187, 65 RU/ml). Avidity did not change over time (median at 6 months 78% vs 65%). The most common side effects were pain at the injection site, malaise and headache. In conclusion, high levels of anti-spike IgG after vaccination were seen and most patients developed high-avidity antibodies, although antibody levels and avidity were higher in the COVID-19 cohort. Over time, the levels of anti-spike IgG declined, yet avidity remained high. Side effects did not differ between groups and were of short duration.","PeriodicalId":8167,"journal":{"name":"Apmis","volume":"133 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/apm.13489","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142602863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, it is still unclear whether SHP2 affects liver fibrosis by influencing the apoptosis of hepatic stellate cells (HSC). In present study, we investigate effects of SHP2 expression changes on liver fibrosis, with special emphasis on the apoptosis of HSC. Using adenovirus vector, wild-type SHP2 gene and short hairpin RNA targeting SHP2 were introduced into rats with liver fibrosis and LX-2 cells in vitro. The expressions of type I and III collagen, pathological and functional changes, collagen deposition in rat liver and apoptosis of LX-2 cells were detected by immunohistochemical and HE staining, automated biochemical analyzer, Masson trichrome staining, and TUNEL. This study showed that overexpression of SHP2 exacerbated dysfunction, inflammatory damage, collagen deposition and increased expression of type I and III collagen in rat liver reduced apoptosis of LX-2 cells. On the contrary, low expression of SHP2 alleviated the aforementioned detection indicators of rats and promoted apoptosis of LX-2 cells. In conclusion, the downregulation of SHP2 expression alleviates liver fibrosis by inducing the apoptosis of HSC, while overexpressed SHP2 exacerbates liver fibrosis by inhibiting the apoptosis of HSC.","PeriodicalId":8167,"journal":{"name":"Apmis","volume":"133 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142581247","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}

Consequently, they become impaired, resulting in immune cell exhaustion, tumor progression, and resistance to other therapies. In this study, we developed an anti-PD-L1-CAR NK cell with efficient activity and a notable PD-L1-specific response toward tumor cell lines. The degranulation assay demonstrated that CD107a frequencies between the PD-L1med and PD-L1high groups and between Herceptin-treated and non-treated groups were not statistically different. Further investigation into NK cell characterization, considering different markers such as CD57, KIR2D, and CD25, revealed that the majority of the population are activated expanding NK cells. At the same time, immune checkpoint inhibitors, including PD-1, PD-L1, and LAG-3, showed increased levels following activation and expansion. Regarding the efficient functional activity of PD-L1-CAR NK cells and the instinctive receptor balance-based response of NK cells, this observation could point to the inhibition of NK cell overactivation or even higher cytotoxicity and cytokine production rather than exhaustion, especially in the case of healthy NK cells. These findings can contribute to a better understanding of the potential and challenges of using primary NK cells for CAR-NK cell therapy.","PeriodicalId":8167,"journal":{"name":"Apmis","volume":"132 12","pages":"1115-1127"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142520828","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}
