Neutrophils/NK cells ratio was significantly higher in EDED and ADED subjects compared to controls. Correlation analysis revealed pathological relationships between proportions of leukocytes, neutrophils, CD4 T cells and Neutrophil/NK cells ratio with DED clinical parameters.
OS immune cell subset proportion changes in DED patients were associated with DED types and severity. The data suggests the potential for a new generation of therapies targeting immune cells on the ocular surface.

Network models typically define perirhinal cortex as a region required for recognition of previously seen objects largely based on findings that lesions or inactivations of this area produce SOR deficits. However, relatively little is understood about the relationship between the activity of cells in the perirhinal cortex that signal novelty and familiarity and the behavioural responses of animals in the SOR task. Previous studies have used objects that are either highly familiar or absolutely novel, but everyday memory is for objects that sit on a spectrum of familiarity which includes objects that have been seen only a few times, or objects that are similar to objects which have been previously experienced. We present two studies that explore cellular activity (through c-fos imaging) within perirhinal cortex of rats performing SOR where the familiarity of objects has been manipulated. Despite robust recognition memory performance, we show no significant changes in perirhinal activity related to the level of familiarity of the objects. Reasons for this lack of familiarity-related modulation in perirhinal cortex activity are discussed. The current findings support emerging evidence that perirhinal responses to novelty are complex and that task demands are critical to the involvement of perirhinal cortex in the control of object recognition memory.Notch receptors participate in a conserved pathway in which ligands expressed on neighboring cells trigger a series of proteolytic cleavages that allow the intracellular portion of the receptor to travel to the nucleus and form a short-lived transcription complex that turns on target gene expression. The directness and seeming simplicity of this signaling mechanism belies the complexity of the outcomes of Notch signaling in normal cells, which are highly context and dosage dependent. This complexity is reflected in the diverse roles of Notch in cancers of various types, in which Notch may be oncogenic or tumor suppressive and may have a wide spectrum of effects on tumor cells and stromal elements. This review provides an overview of the roles of Notch in cancer and discusses challenges to clinical translation of Notch targeting agents as well as approaches that may overcome these hurdles.The intrinsic mechanisms sensing the imbalance of energy in cells are pivotal for cell survival under various environmental insults. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) serves as a central guardian maintaining energy homeostasis by orchestrating diverse cellular processes, such as lipogenesis, glycolysis, TCA cycle, cell cycle progression and mitochondrial dynamics. Given that AMPK plays an essential role in the maintenance of energy balance and metabolism, managing AMPK activation is considered as a promising strategy for the treatment of metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. Since AMPK has been attributed to aberrant activation of metabolic pathways, mitochondrial dynamics and functions, and epigenetic regulation, which are hallmarks of cancer, targeting AMPK may open up a new avenue for cancer therapies. Although AMPK is previously thought to be involved in tumor suppression, several recent studies have unraveled its tumor promoting activity. The double-edged sword characteristics for AMPK as a tumor suppressor or an oncogene are determined by distinct cellular contexts. In this review, we will summarize recent progress in dissecting the upstream regulators and downstream effectors for AMPK, discuss the distinct roles of AMPK in cancer regulation and finally offer potential strategies with AMPK targeting in cancer therapy.
Omalizumab, an anti-IgE antibody, has been widely used in many countries, including Japan. However, some patients do not respond to omalizumab, and the cause of treatment failure has not been fully elucidated.
This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of adult asthma patients who failed to achieve disease control with omalizumab in a real-world setting.
We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients in Tokyo Women's Medical University Hospital between March 2009 and May 2016. The patient characteristics and factors for treatment failure with omalizumab were evaluated, as were treatment alternatives after discontinuation of omalizumab.
In total, 59 patients were included in this study. The omalizumab-ineffective group had a significantly higher number of patients with eosinophilic sinusitis (P=0.001) and eosinophilic otitis media (P=0.023) than the omalizumab-effective group. A multivariate analysis revealed that both eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (odds ratio 23.4; P=0.011) and eosinophilic otitis media (odds ratio 6.71; P=0.039) were associated with treatment failure with omalizumab. Most patients with eosinophilic comorbidities of the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) in the omalizumab-ineffective group received mepolizumab or benralizumab as alternative therapy, following which disease control was achieved.
Eosinophilic comorbidities of the ENT may affect treatment failure with omalizumab in patients with severe asthma. Anti-interleukin-5 antibody or anti-interleukin-5Rα antibody rather than anti-IgE antibody should be considered as an additional therapy for patients with severe asthma who have eosinophilic comorbidities of the ENT.
