Patterns of Location and Other Determinants of Retail Stores in Urban Commercial Districts in Changchun, China by Feilong Hao, Yuxin Yang, Shijun Wang

“…The following conclusions are drawn. (1) The spatial distribution of retail stores in Changchun commercial districts generates the coexistence of a concentration in the core area and diffusion in the peripheral area. The emergence of shopping malls has challenged the traditional single-center structure, resulting in the transformation of commercial districts from single-center to multicenter layouts, while also producing a hierarchical trend in development. (2) The Chongqing Road and Hongqi Street commercial districts have a relatively high spatial concentration of retail stores. …”

T Regulatory and T Helper 17 Cells in Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome: Facts and Perspectives by Alessia Alunno, Francesco Carubbi, Onelia Bistoni, Sara Caterbi, Elena Bartoloni, Giulia Mirabelli, Francesca Cannarile, Paola Cipriani, Roberto Giacomelli, Roberto Gerli

“…Historically, primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) was thought to be a T helper (h) 1 driven disease due to the predominance of CD4+T lymphocytes and their products in target organs and peripheral blood of patients. In the last decades, the identification of a number of T cell subsets, including Th17, T regulatory (Treg), and follicular helper T cells, challenged this long-standing paradigm and prompted to identify their role in pSS pathogenesis. …”
