Recent studies highlight the pivotal role of T follicular helper 2 (Tfh2) cells in IgE production. Interleukin-37 (IL-37) has emerged as an intrinsic modulator of innate immunity and inflammatory processes. We aimed to investigate the regulatory effect of IL-37 on Tfh2 cells in the pathogenesis of AR. <b>Methods:</b> Blood samples were collected from AR patients and controls. The IL-37 levels and the frequency of Tfh2 cells were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and flow cytometry, respectively. The isolated Tfh2 cells were cultured or cocultured with naive B cells. The regulatory effects of IL-37 on Tfh2/B cells were assessed using ELISA, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).

While radiotherapy effectively kills tumor cells, it is also associated with significant ionizing radiation (IR) damage. Moreover, the increasing emissions of nuclear pollutants raise concerns about the potential exposure of more individuals to the risks associated with IR. The Chinese term for amniotic fluid (AF) is rooted in the Yin-Yang theory of traditional Chinese medicine, where it symbolizes the inception of human life. Chick early AF (ceAF), a natural product, has shown promise in the field of regenerative medicine.

The supplementation of ceAF enhances spleen hematopoietic and immune functions by reducing oxidative stress, alleviating inflammatory responses, and preventing splenic DNA damage from IR exposure, ultimately leading to an overall improvement in health. <b>Conclusions:</b> ceAF effectively alleviates body damage induced by IR, and our findings provide new perspectives and therapeutic strategies for mitigating IR-induced damage.</p>","PeriodicalId":8937,"journal":{"name":"Biomedicines","volume":"13 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12109126/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144156578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients were divided into two groups: standard follow-up (SF) and adapted follow-up (AF). The AF group received standardized post-treatment restaging, including imaging and panendoscopy or PET-CT exams. <b>Results</b>: We found a trend towards earlier diagnosis and a reduction in recurrences, although these differences were not statistically significant.
