Immunoglobulins (Ig) are proteins that help fight infections. IgG (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4), IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE are the five immunoglobulin subtypes that make up the majority of our immune system. Beneficial effects have been observed on the administration of Ig in diseases like Kawasaki, multiple myositis, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), and immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP). The Fc region, FcγRs, and FcRn of the IgG interact to provide both pro- and anti-inflammatory effects. IgM blocks immune-mediated inflammation using N-like glycans. It has been demonstrated that IgM demonstrates its antiinflammatory activity through IgM anti-leukocyte auto-antibodies (IgM-ALA). Since IgA is the second most prevalent and important Ig that operates on the primary objective in the immune system, which exhibits inhibitory signals in the body and generates inflammation in host cells, it plays a critical role in controlling mucosal homeostasis in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Additionally, it has been discovered that activating FcαRI boosts cytokine responses at different levels. IgD, a mysterious class of Ig once discovered, has a role in many disorders, including myeloma and Hodgkin's disease. The stability of IgD with development shows a different role, which has an advantage for the host's survival. IgE is mainly associated with many allergic diseases (food allergies), mediates type 1 responses, and has defenses against parasitic infections, which makes it an important parameter for monoclonal antibodies. Studies showed the possible roles of immunoglobulins, from which it came to light that immunoglobulins have their functions as agonists and antagonists in inflammation.

Background: A secondary Pasteurella multocida (Pm) infection following Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae (Mo) challenge in sheep results in severe respiratory disease. Scavenger receptor A (SRA) is a key phagocytic receptor on macrophages, which facilitates microbial clearance. However, the role of sheep SRA in Mo-associated secondary Pm infection is less understood.

Objective: Adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs) are promising cell sources for damaged tissue regeneration. The efficacy of therapeutic angiogenesis with ADRC implantation in patients with critical limb ischemia has been demonstrated in clinical studies. There are several possible mechanisms in this process such as cytokines and microRNA.

Background: Bone marrow (BM) lesion differentiation remains challenging, and quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may enhance accuracy over conventional methods. We evaluated the diagnostic value and inter-reader reliability of Dixon-based signal drop (%drop) and fat fraction percentage (%fat) as adjuncts to existing protocols.
Materials And Methods: In this prospective two-center study, 172 patients with BM signal abnormalities underwent standardized 1.
