    Abstract COVID-19 exhibits a non-yet elucidated heterogeneity dominated by mild form of the illness. Nevertheless, mortality is frequent among patients with a delayed innate immune response that suddenly exacerbates during the second week after admission leading to a lethal over inflammation. Therefore, this rapid and unpredictable deterioration requires timely prediction of COVID-19 refractoriness and critical illness. The two biomarkers readily available in routine laboratories, blood lymphocytes and neutrophil counts, are expected to provide an accurate clinical tool to incline reasonable medication and care because lymphopenia marks immune exhaustion while neutrophilia demonstrates the immunological exuberation. Meanwhile, combining the two parameters as a Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) helps to constitute a powerful predictive and prognostic nomogram. This scoring tool allows clinicians to stratify COVID-19 severities on admission and guide early interventions to accelerate recovery and shorten the course of disease in order to alleviate the shortage of medical resources and reduce mortality.

    Abstract Problem: Progress in understanding the underlying mechanism responsible for the syndrome pre-eclampsia should reconfigure antenatal clinical care and minimize human and financial costs, yet at present there is no accurate theory that permits development of reliable predictive tests and prophylactic intervention to mitigate disease. To contribute to this ongoing effort, we aimed to assess various circulating markers pertaining to different theories.
    Method of study: Serum samples from thirty-four women with established early onset preeclampsia (ePE) were assessed in terms of oxidative stress (malondialdehyde- MDA), angiogenic status (PlGF & sFLT-1), complement system (The alternative pathway- AP
    Results: Our work shows that PlGF is the only serum marker who does exhibit a continued decrease from NPW to GH to ePE (r
    Conclusion: Our data confirm that the angiogenic factor PlGF may be highly relevant in biological mechanisms underlying the development of ePE.

  5. Article: The perplexing question of trained immunity versus adaptive memory in COVID-19

    Abstract The wide spectrum of symptoms observed in COVID-19 appears to defy explanation. Apart from geographic limitation to people with prior exposure to other coronaviruses and air pollutants, inflammatory comordidities and older ages are also among the main factors of susceptibility to severe illness. The unusual epidemiological data pointed out in children and African territories have revealed new insights in host-pathogen interplay with more focus on epigenetic regulation of cognitive compartments belonging to innate immunity. Should trained immunity be proven to be involved in timely immune responsiveness against SARS-CoV-2 and that adaptive memory could be detrimental, both treatment regimens and vaccine design will tremendously change accordingly with more focus on upper respiratory tissue innate immunity to subdue this threat underway.

    Abstract The discovery of the complement system was associated with the creation of medical serodiagnosis in the early 20th century. Its biotechnological applications, usable even a century after its development by Jules Bordet, preceded for decades the proof of its biochemical rather than biophysical nature. Complement science has begun to emerge, thanks to the labs of Michael Heidelberger and his student Manfred Martin Mayer. Complementology had known difficult moments like the suicide of Louis Pillemer by swallowing the reagents of his laboratory following the criticisms of his discovery by Robert A. Nelson, Jr., in March 1957, at the Walter Reed Army Institute. This alternative complement pathway continues to revolutionize medicine by its implications as the principal component of immunosurveillance and as an amplification loop for plasma proteolytic cascades. Moreover, the drug designed in pathologies related to this pathway, eculizumab, was the most expensive drug in the world at the beginning of its marketing. Complementology promises great hopes in inflammatory and degenerative diseases, regenerative medicine, transplantation, and vector nanotechnology and as a diagnostic tool primarily in transplantation and inflammatory imaging. The moral and historical responsibility requires to make known this legacy to the new generation of doctors and scientists and also the technicians of the clinical laboratory of complementology throughout the world.

    Abstract Treatment of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) by the complement C5 inhibitor eculizumab (Soliris®) is highly effective but unfortunately, associated with an economic pressure on the health care systems even in high incomes countries. Despite spacing infusions having been proposed as the unique solution to minimize this economic impact, no reliable laboratory assays are available to tailor such therapy optimization. We aimed to propose and evaluate a complement composite marker for eculizumab efficacy monitoring in aHUS. We have retrospectively analyzed complement profiles data of eight aHUS patients under eculizumab from the International Registry of HUS/Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia Purpura, and calculated a novel marker "C3:CH
