Mechanisms of immune regulation and transplantation immunity in corneal transplants by V. V. Neroev, N. V. Balatskaya, E. V. Chentsova, Kh. M. Shamkhalova

“…Unlike other kinds of transplants, corneal grafting is often performed without tissue typing and systemic immunosuppression.High frequency of transparent corneal engraftment (up to 90% of cases) in the absence of risk factors is due to special immunoprivileged area in the anterior eye segment (functionally, a structural aggregation of the cornea and anterior chamber, AC) accomplished by local and systemic immunoregulatory mechanisms, i.e., phenomenon of immune deviation associated with anterior chamber of the eye (ACAID), components of the internal liquid medium, a watery moisture with immunosuppressive properties, e.g., IL-1ra, TSP-1,TGF-β2, regulatory complement proteins, α-MSH (alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone), VIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide), indolamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), calcitonin-gene-bound peptide (CGRP), somatostatin, etc.In addition to ACAID and liquid AC components, a contribution to the maintenance of immune privilege which is extremely important for a successful outcome of keratoplasty, is provided by other mechanisms, in particular, immunologically active membrane-associated molecules of corneal endothelium, i.e., PDL-1 (Programmed death ligand 1), and sVEGFR-1, sVEGFR-2, sVEGFR-3 involved in maintaining avascularity of the corneal tissue. …”

The effect of rTMS intervention with different targets on neural remodeling in stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial by Li Zhao, Li Chen, Qiu Wang, Xinyi Li, Sha Li, Chunxiao Wan

“…Functional connectivity analysis revealed significantly increased resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) in the contralateral dentate nucleus and ventromedial premotor area of the affected side in the SMA group relative to the M1 group (p = 0.0319), with this enhancement showing a strong positive correlation with balance function improvement (r = 0.637, p = 0.001). Structural MRI analysis indicated that while the M1 group exhibited a significant increase in gray matter volume (GMV) in the medial segment of the postcentral gyrus (p = 0.02), the SMA group showed significant GMV increases in the posterior cerebellum and chorionic lobule (p = 0.0428) that demonstrated a moderate positive correlation with improved balance function (r = 0.436, p = 0.038). …”

Knowledge, Attitude, and Belief of Healthcare Professionals Toward Obesity Stigmatization by Lang H, Zhang X, Yan N, Du J, Jiang X

“…Knowledge (OR = 0.754, 95% CI: 0.600– 0.949, P = 0.016), belief (OR = 0.915, 95% CI: 0.854– 0.980, P = 0.011), and age (OR = 0.950, 95% CI: 0.906– 0.995, P = 0.031) were independently associated with attitude. Moreover, structural equation modeling showed that knowledge had a significant direct effect on both belief (β = 0.845, P < 0.001) and attitude (β = − 0.944, P < 0.001), as well as belief on attitude (β = − 0.550, P < 0.001).Conclusion: Healthcare professionals exhibited insufficient knowledge, negative attitude and belief toward obesity stigmatization. …”
