    Abstract Understanding the precise mechanism of vaccine-induced protection and the immune correlates of protection against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is crucially important for developing next-generation vaccines that confer durable and protective immunity against COVID-19. Similar factors are also important for other infectious diseases. Here, I briefly summarize the mechanism of action of the currently used COVID-19 mRNA vaccines from the viewpoint of the function of the lymphatic system.

    Abstract Understanding the precise nature and durability of protective immunity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is essential in order to gain insight into the pathophysiology of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and to develop novel treatment strategies to this disease. Here, I succinctly summarize what is currently known and unknown about the immune response during COVID-19 and discuss whether natural infections can lead to herd immunity.

    Abstract Recent single-cell RNA sequencing studies in mouse and human have clearly indicated that lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) consist of multiple cell subsets, each expressing a unique set of genes, residing in distinct locations in the body. These studies have also revealed a conserved pattern of gene expression in LECs across animal species, as well as specialized sets of genes unique to each species. However, the extent to which this heterogeneity is adaptive to the external milieu surrounding LECs has remained unclear. The transcriptional and regulatory pathways that program the different subsets of LECs also remain unexplored.

    Abstract: The ongoing severe acute respiratory sickness coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has resulted in more than 3,600,000 detected cases of COVID-19 illness and nearly 260,000 deaths worldwide as of May 6, 2020. Recently, BCG vaccination was shown to ... ...

    Abstract The ongoing severe acute respiratory sickness coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has resulted in more than 3,600,000 detected cases of COVID-19 illness and nearly 260,000 deaths worldwide as of May 6, 2020. Recently, BCG vaccination was shown to correlate with reduced COVID-19 case fatality rates (preprint: Miller et al, 2020; preprint: Sala & Miyakawa, 2020; https://www.jsatonotes.com/2020/03/if-i-were-north-americaneuropeanaustral.html). The most recent data from publicly available resources also indicate that both COVID-19 incidence and total deaths are strongly associated with the presence or absence of national mandatory BCG vaccination programs. As seen in Table 1, seven of eight countries with very low numbers of total deaths (< 40 per 1 million population) adopted a mandatory BCG vaccination program using one of a set of 6 separate BCG strains (Table 1). In contrast, COVID-19 mortality was markedly higher in countries where BCG vaccination is not widely administered or is given only to high-risk groups. COVID-19 mortality was also higher in countries where widespread BCG vaccination was discontinued more than 20 years ago and in countries that used the BCG Denmark strain regularly or temporarily. This raises the question of whether BCG vaccination and reduced COVID-19 mortality are causally related. An additional question is why different BCG strains may be variably associated with mortality.

    Abstract Aim: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are among the obstetric complications reportedly associated with later-life cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study examined physicians' recognition of reproductive history by elucidating their attitude and knowledge.
    Methods: This study included council members of the Japan Atherosclerosis Society. An Internet-based survey was conducted between August 9 and September 9, 2022.
    Results: A total of 137 council members completed the questionnaire (response rate: 36%). In terms of the internal medicine subspeciality of the participants, endocrinology was the most common (46%), followed by cardiology (38%). About 70% of the participants considered reproductive history to be important and obtained more information than those who considered it otherwise. In the questionnaire for knowledge about HDP and future diseases, physicians correctly answered 6.8 of 9 questions. Endocrinologists were more likely to ask regarding reproductive history at the initial visit than cardiologists (82.5% vs. 61.5%; p=0.012) and obtained more information from women below 50 years old. Contrarily, cardiologists obtained information on reproductive history from older women (those approaching menopause and those in their 60s and 70s).
    Conclusion: We found that physicians had a high level of knowledge about HDP and the importance of reproductive information. However, the manner of obtaining information, including the target population, differed depending on the subspeciality. In the future, effective interventions for women with a history of HDP need to be developed in order to encourage physicians to obtain reproductive information to prevent CVD.

    Abstract Antigen stimulation induces adenosine triphosphate (ATP) release from naïve lymphocytes in lymphoid tissues. However, previous studies indicated that the non-lytic release of ATP also occurs in most tissues and cell types under physiological conditions. Here, we show that extracellular ATP (eATP) is indeed constitutively produced by naïve T cells in response to lymphoid chemokines in uninflamed lymph nodes and is involved in the regulation of immune cell migration. In this review, we briefly summarize the homeostatic role of extracellular ATP in immune cell migration in vivo.
