Background: Granulosa cell tumor (GCT) is a rare type of ovarian malignancy with poor prognosis of recurrence. Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) is a promising serum biomarker for early diagnosis GCT, therefore we assessed its accuracy and clinical value.

Methods: A meta-analysis was performed to estimate the diagnostic accuracy. We searched the PubMed, Cochrane Literature Library and EMBASE database. After filtering, five studies met our criteria. Two independent reviewers extracted data and total 421 serum samples (70 GCT serum samples and 351 controls) were included in our analysis. The pooled values of sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) and Summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) were calculated to assess the accuracy.

Results: The pooled estimated for AMH were sensitivity: 0.89 (95 % CI 0.78-0.95), specificity: 0.93 (95 %CI 0.83-0.97). The area under the SROC was 0.93 (95 %CI 0.91-0.95).

Conclusion: Serum AMH can be used as a biomarker in clinical diagnosis of GCT with high accuracy.

J Immunother Cancer 2022 May;10(5)

Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Department of Internal Medicine, College of Medicine, Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul, South Korea

Background: IgA neutralizes pathogens to prevent infection at mucosal sites. However, emerging evidence shows that IgA contributes to aggravating inflammation or dismantling antitumor immunity in human diseased liver. The aim of this study was to elucidate the roles of inflammation-induced intrahepatic inflammatory IgA monocytes in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Read More

Epidemiol Health 2022 May 15:e2022046. Epub 2022 May 15.

Division of Cancer Prevention, National Cancer Control Institute, National Cancer Center, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea.

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the association between serum folate concentration and prevalence of dyslipidemia.

Methods: A total of 4,477 adults (2,019 men and 2,458 women) enrolled in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2016-2018 were included. Serum samples were used to access folate concentration and total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol levels.

Accurate serologic evaluation of autoantibodies in patients with autoimmune diseases is critical. In the present study, we established a live cell-based assay for simultaneous detection of multiple autoantibodies in a single serum sample. Autoantibody seropositivity was determined by 3-color flow cytometry using live Chinese hamster ovary cells transiently expressing a target protein of interest fused to enhanced green fluorescent protein and labeled with Alexa Fluor 647 and Hoechst 33342.

Increased Concentrations of Circulating Interleukins following Non-Invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation: Results from a Randomized, Sham-Controlled, Crossover Study in Healthy Subjects.

Elisabeth Veiz Susann-Kristin Kieslich Dirk Czesnik Christoph Herrmann-Lingen Thomas Meyer Julia Staab

Neuroimmunomodulation 2022 May 16:1-10. Epub 2022 May 16.

Department of Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy, University Medical Centre, Göttingen, Germany.

Objective: The vagus nerve constitutes the main component of the parasympathetic nervous system and plays an important role in the regulation of neuro-immune responses. Invasive stimulation of the vagus nerve produces anti-inflammatory effects; however, data on humoral immune responses of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) are rare. Therefore, the present study investigated changes in serum cytokine concentrations of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) following a short-term, non-invasive stimulation of the vagus nerve.
