Peripheral lymphocyte subset alterations in COVID‐19 patients

Lymphocyte subset alterations in nodes regional to human melanoma.

The lymphocyte subpopulations in tumor-draining lymph nodes of melanoma patients were determined using two-color flow cytometry. Data were analyzed according to: (a) the staging of the melanoma; (b) whether or not the nodes contained tumor; and (c) their distance from the primary tumor. Compared with Stage I patients (without metastasis), uninvolved nodes of stage II patients (with nodal metast...

Peripheral blood lymphocyte subset levels differ in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma

We investigated the levels of target lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood lymphocyte samples from patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A total of 715 high-risk patients with primary HCC were recruited in Guangxi, China as the case group. The control group included 100 patients who received health examinations at the same hospital during the same period. Fasting elbow venous blood (10...

Reduction of the Peripheral Blood CD56 NK Lymphocyte Subset in FTY720-Treated Multiple Sclerosis Patients

CD4+ T-lymphocyte alterations in trauma patients

colleagues reporting an association between persistent lymphopaenia and increasin g mortality in trauma patients [1]. We would like to provide some additional data obtained in a similar cohort of patients. In parallel with a study recently published in Critical Care in which mHLA-DR expression was assessed [2], we evaluated the CD4 + lymphocyte count and the percentage of CD4 + CD25 + regulator...

T lymphocyte subset imbalances in patients contribute to ankylosing spondylitis

Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease, which is characterized by inflammation of the spine and the sacroiliac joints. To date, the disease etiology remains unclear. In the present study, the correlation of T lymphocyte subset changes with the progression of ankylosing spondylitis was investigated. A total of 55 patients with ankylosing spondylitis (22 severe and 23 ...
