Article Abstract
: Flow cytometric analysis of cellular DNA content has prognostic importance in ovarian cancer and its measurement could contribute to clinical practice. The aim of this study was to compare serous cystadenoma and serous cystadenocarcinoma cases in terms of their flow cytometric analysis results. : In total, 60 serous ovarian tumor cases (30 cases of ovarian serous cyst adenoma and 30 cases of ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma) in paraffin blocks were extracted from hospital pathology archives for flow cytometric analysis. Cell cycle changes, aneuploidy ratio, and annexin V levels were compared. : The S phase cell ratio, proliferative index, aneuploidy cell ratio, and annexin V apoptotic index were significantly higher in the cancer group compared to the cystadenoma group. However, the G2/M phase cell ratio was found to be similar in both groups. When the annexin V apoptotic index cutoff value was selected as 27.65%, the sensitivity was calculated as 90.0% and the specificity as 93.3% for predicting serous ovarian carcinoma (AUC, 0.872; < 0.001; 95% CI, 0.761-0.984). : In serous cystadenocarcinoma cases, cell cycle activity was increased compared to serous cyst adenoma, but the similarity of G2/M activities suggested that serous cystadenocarcinoma may be a member of the "metaneoplasia" process. The detection of annexin V expression in ovarian tumors by flow cytometric analysis is a cheap, fast, and easy diagnostic method that can be used in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer. Annexin V expression is an effective biomarker with high sensitivity and specificity that could be used in the diagnosis of serous ovarian cancer.

Immunostimulatory and Immunomodulatory Effects of Vitamin B12 Derivatives on Macrophages Through the Modulation of JNK Pathway.

Vitamin B12 is a vital water-soluble vitamin containing a central cobalt atom within its corrin ring structure. It exists in several derivatives, among which methylcobalamin (MeCbl) and adenosylcobalamin (AdCbl) are the biologically active forms that serve as cofactors in essential enzymatic reactions. Although the neurological and hematological consequences of vitamin B12 deficiency have been extensively studied, its role in immune regulation remains less well understood.

Breast cancer is one of the most lethal cancers in women worldwide. Tamoxifen (TAM), a nonsteroidal antiestrogen, is a highly successful treatment for breast cancer. However, developed resistance to TAM can substantially impair chemotherapy efficacy, resulting in poor prognosis and cancer recurrence.

This study evaluated immune cell subset variations in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) by comparing frequencies at diagnosis with controls and assessing changes post-therapy. A single-center prospective observational study enrolled 25 untreated acute and chronic ITP patients and 20 matched controls from January 2018 to January 2019. Immune cell subsets, including CD4+, CD8+, NK cells, NK-T cells, and T regulatory cells (Tregs), were analyzed using flow cytometric immunophenotyping.

Background And Objective: Particulate matters such as diesel exhaust particles induce oxidative stress in cells and thereby have a negative impact on health. The aim of this study was to test whether the membrane-permeable, anti-inflammatory metabolite 4-Octyl Itaconate can counteract the oxidative stress induced by diesel exhaust particles and to analyze the downstream-regulated pathways both in human nasal epithelial cells and PBMCs.
Methods: Human nasal epithelial cells were cultured from nasal swabs, and the response of the cells to diesel exhaust particles either alone or in combination with 4-Octyl Itaconatee was investigated using RNA sequencing, qPCR, and cytokine measurement.

Background: In autoimmune disease it is not understood how self-reactive B cells escape immune tolerance checkpoints to produce pathogenic autoantibodies.
Objective: In patients with demyelinating polyneuropathy caused by IgM autoantibodies against myelin associated glycoprotein (MAG) and the sulphated trisaccharide CD57, we aimed to test the hypothesis that B cells making the autoantibody escaped tolerance by acquiring lymphoma driver somatic mutations.
Methods: Deep single-cell RNA, DNA, flow cytometric and antibody specificity analysis of blood from three patients with MAG neuropathy.
