In many countries, this directive has been extended on shopping malls or public transportation. The aim of this paper is to critically analyze the statutory regulation to wear protective masks during the COVID-19 crisis from a medical standpoint.MethodsWe performed an extensive query of the most recent publications addressing the prevention of viral infections including the use of face masks in the community as a method to prevent the spread of the infection. We addressed the issues of practicability, professional use, and acceptability based on the community and the environment where the user resided.ResultsUpon our critical review of the available literature, we found only weak evidence for wearing a face mask as an efficient hygienic tool to prevent the spread of a viral infection. However, the use of MNC seems to b...

It... more Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a clinically and histologically heterogeneous disorder. Its classification as either reactive inflammatory or neoplastic has been a matter of debate. However, the recent finding of frequent BRAFV600E mutations in LCH argues for the latter. The exact cell type that harbors the mutation and is responsible for proliferation remains to be identified. We here apply a BRAFV600E mutation-specific antibody to detect the BRAF mutant cells in lesions from 89 patients with LCH. We found BRAFV600E mutations in 34 of 89 (38%) lesions. In lesions with the BRAFV600E mutation, the majority of cells coexpressing S-100 and CD1a harbored mutant BRAFV600E protein. These cells also expressed CD14 and CD36, whereas various fractions exhibited CD207. On the other hand, CD80 and CD86 expression was also present on BRAFV600E-positive cells. Thus, cells of variable maturation, exhibiting an immunohistochemical profile compatible either with myeloid cell or with dediffer...

Obesity and diabetes increase the risk for disease severity. Monocyte dysfunction plays a major role and justify further investigations.ObjectiveTo investigate the distribution and inflammatory phenotypes in circulating monocyte subsets in patients manifesting with sepsis including septic shock with and without obesity and diabetes.MethodsA total of 235 blood samples were tested from critically ill adult patients registered at the intensive care unit (ICU). The cohorts were divided into non-diabetic groups with or without obesity and diabetic groups with or without obesity, suffering from sepsis or septic shock. We determined frequencies of total monocytes and of monocyte subsets in the circulation and density expression levels of functional markers, including CD14, CD16, HLA-DR, CD33, CD163, CD206, and arginase-1 by flow cyto...

In addition to polymorphic T-cell receptor alpha/beta constructs, less variable T-cell receptor gamma/delta cells may respond to a specific peptide presented by MHC molecules of antigen presenting cells as well as other target tissues. Methods: High-resolution HLA typing was performed in 536 non-hospitalized patients infected with SARS-CoV2. For HLA-Class I we obtained results from 519 patients, and for HLA-Class-II from 531. Patients who became ill between March 2020 and August 2021 were tested for the 22 most common HLA class I (HLA-A, -B, -C) or HLA class II (HLA –DRB1/3/4, -DQA1, -DQB1) haplotypes in this collective. The identified HLA haplotypes were associated to disease severity. We also analyzed the influence of CCR5 and the ABO blood groups on the disease duration.Results: The influence of the HLA haplotypes on di...

The goal of the current study was to assess the association of COVID-19 clinical courses controlled by patients’ adaptive immune responses without progression to severe disease with patients’ Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) genetics, AB0 blood group antigens, and the presence or absence of near-loss-of-function delta 32 deletion mutant of the C–C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5). Patient and methods An exploratory observational study including 157 adult COVID-19 convalescent patients was performed with a median follow-up of 250 days. The impact of different HLA genotypes, AB0 blood group antigens, and the CCR5 mutant CD195 were investigated for their role in the clinical course of COVID-19. In addition, this study addressed levels of severity and morbidity of COVID-19. The association of the immunoge...

One solution is the vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. Methods We performed a comprehensive query of the latest publications on the prevention of viral infections including the recent vaccination program and its side effects. Results The situation is evolving rapidly and there is no reasonable alternative to population-scale vaccination programs as currently enrolled. Conclusion Therefore, regulatory authorities should consider supplementing their conventional mandate of post-approval pharmacovigilance, which is based on the collection, assessment, and regulatory response to emerging safety findings.

The use of face masks seems to be critical to prevent the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 for the period, in which therapeutic interventions are lacking. In this review, we describe the history of masks from the middle age to modern times.

Here, the IL-15 effect on CD3-stimulated peripheral human T cells was investigated. IL-15 induced a significant T-cell proliferation and upregulated CD25 expression. IL-15 significantly enhanced T-cell production of interferon-γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and IL-10. Between 10- and 100-fold greater concentrations of IL-15 were necessary to reach a biological effect equivalent to that of IL-2. Blockade of IL-2 binding to the high-affinity IL-2 receptor did not affect the IL-15 effects, suggesting that IL-15 did not act by inducing endogenous IL-2. Exogenously administered IL-10 significantly reduced the IL-15 and IL-2–mediated IFN-γ and TNF-α production, whereas T-cell proliferation and CD25 expression were not affected. The inhibitory effects of exogenously administered IL-10 on T-cell cytokine production appeared indirect, and are likely ...
