Article Abstract
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most frequent type of lymphoma. Our retrospective study included 553 newly diagnosed DLBCL patients from May 2009 to October 2019. The relationships between hypogammaglobulinemia, hypocomplementemia and progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed. In our center, 19.0% of patients had hypogammaglobulinemia, and 7.7% had hypocomplementemia at diagnosis. Immunoglobulin and complement deficiencies were associated with advanced disease and displayed inferior PFS and OS. Then, we designed a new immunization cumulative prognostic score (ICPS) model to comprehensively clarify the effect of these two variables on prognosis. Multivariate analysis showed that ICPS was an independent prognostic indicator for inferior clinical outcomes (PFS: = 0.007, OS: = 0.003). Furthermore, the predictive effect of ICPS combined with the International Prognostic Index (IPI) was superior to that of IPI alone (PFS: = 0.016, OS: = 0.037). In conclusion, hypogammaglobulinemia and hypocomplementemia could be regarded as adverse prognostic indicators in DLBCL.

Introduction: Kidney transplant recipients often experience significant alterations in their immune system, which can lead to increased susceptibility to infections. This study aimed to analyze time-dependent changes in serum immunoglobulin and complement levels and determine the risk factors associated with infection.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of serum samples from 192 kidney transplant recipients who received transplantations between August 2016 and December 2019 was conducted.

Background: With improvements in survival rates, health-related quality of life is an important outcome parameter to evaluate the effectiveness of transplantation. We aimed to identify potential immunologic abnormalities as factors associated with poorer health-related quality of life at distinct scales of the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey in heart transplant recipients long term after transplantation.
Methods: One hundred heart transplant recipients were evaluated in a single center.

Protein loss via the gut can be caused by a number of gastrointestinal disorders, among which intestinal lymphangiectasia has been described to not only lead to a loss of proteins but also to a loss of lymphocytes, resembling secondary immunodeficiency. We are reporting on a 75-year-old female patient who came to our hospital because of a minor stroke. She had no history of serious infections.

Introduction: Infections are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Invasive fungal infections (IFI) comprise a group of diseases caused by Cryptococcus, Histoplasma, Aspergillus and Candida. Few studies of IFI have been published in patients with SLE and associated factors have not been completely defined.
