    Abstract Summary: A rebalance between energy supply and demand in HBV-specific-CD8+ activated progenitor (AP) cells could restore the functionality of proliferative progeny (PP) in e-antigen(Ag)-negative chronic hepatitis B (CHBe(−)). We observed that quiescent progenitor (QP [TCF1+/FSClow]) HBVcore-specific-CD8+ cells displayed a memory-like phenotype. Following Ag-encounter, the generated AP [TCF1+/FSChigh] subset maintained the PD1+/CD127+ phenotype and gave rise to proliferative progeny (PP [ TCF1-/FSChigh]). In AP cells, IL-15 compared to IL2 decreased the initial mTORC1 boost, but maintained its activation longer linked to a catabolic profile that correlated with enhanced PP effector abilities. In nucleos(t)ide analogue (NUC)-treated CHBe(−), AP subset showed an anabolic phenotype associated with a dysfunctional PP pool. In CHBe(−) cases with low probability of HBVcore-specific-CD8+ cell on-NUC-treatment restoration, according to a clinical predictive model, IL-15/anti-PD-L1 treatment re-established their reactivity. Therefore, IL-15 could improve AP pool energy balance by decreasing intensity but extending T cell activation and by inducing a more catabolic metabolism.

    Abstract An implementation of a harmonic injection pulse width modulation frequency-modulated triangular carrier (HIPWM-FMTC) control strategy applied to a multilevel power inverter feeding an asynchronous motor is presented. The aim was to justify the reduction in acoustic noise emitted by the machine compared with other strategies in the technical literature. In addition, we checked how the THD at the inverter output was reduced compared to the other control techniques used as a reference. The proposed strategy is based on frequency modulation of the triangular carrier. The main advantage of the proposed method is that only one control parameter is required for modifying the electrical spectrum. Therefore, the mechanical natural frequencies and spatial harmonics of the machine can be avoided, and acoustic noise can be reduced. The effectiveness of the technique was demonstrated after laboratory validation by comparing the acoustic results for a 1 kW motor. The results obtained from the laboratory tests are presented and compared with those of other acoustic measurements using different PWM strategies.

    Abstract Background: HBe-antigen(Ag)-negative chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is characterized by little liver fibrosis progression and vigorous HBV-multispecific CD8
    Aims: To assess whether HBsAg level could discriminate different HBeAg-negative chronic HBV infection subtypes with dissimilar quality of HBV-specific CD8
    Methods: We recruited 63 HBeAg-negative chronic HBV infection patients in which indirect markers of liver inflammation/fibrosis, portal pressure, viral load (VL), and HBV-specific CD8
    Results: A positive linear trend between HBsAg level and APRI, liver stiffness (LS), liver transaminases, and HBV VL, and a negative correlation with platelet count were observed. Frequency of cases with HBV-specific CD8
    Conclusion: HBsAg > 1,000 IU/ml HBeAg-negative chronic HBV infection group shows indirect data of higher degree of inflammation, liver stiffness, and fibrosis progression speed, which are related to an impaired HBV-polymerase-specific CD8

    Abstract Sixteen months have passed since I had the honor of being appointed editor-in-chief of Revista Española de Enfermedades Digestivas (The Spanish Journal of Gastroenterology) (REED) and thank the Spanish Society of Digestive Diseases (SEPD) for trusting me in this new phase of the REED history. Four months later, in November 2021, Dr Juan-Ramon Larrubia joined the journal as Executive Editor. We thank the former Editor-in-Chief and deputy-editor Enrique Peéez-Cuadrado and Javier A. Cienfuegos, respectively, their devoted work putting the journal on an upward trajectory since 2016, one year before the REED centenary, they set the bar very high.

    Abstract Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-specific CD8
    Aim: To predict this response with variables involved in T-cell exhaustion for use as a treatment stopping tool.
    Methods: In NUC-treated CHBe(-) patients, we considered a functional response in cases with HBV-specific CD8
    Results: We developed an LRM that predicted the presence of a proliferative type I cytokine-secreting CD8
    Conclusions: Short-term low-level antigen exposure and early long-term NUC treatment influence the restoration of a functional HBV-specific CD8

    Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific CD8 + T cell response is essential in natural HCV infection control, but it becomes exhausted during persistent infection. Nowadays, chronic HCV infection can be resolved by direct acting anti-viral treatment, but there are still some non-responders that could benefit from CD8 + T cell response restoration. To become fully reactive, T cell needs the complete release of T cell receptor (TCR) signalling but, during exhaustion this is blocked by the PD-1 effect on CD28 triggering. The T cell pool sensitive to PD-1 modulation is the progenitor subset but not the terminally differentiated effector population. Nevertheless, the blockade of PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint cannot be always enough to restore this pool. This is due to the HCV ability to impair other co-stimulatory mechanisms and metabolic pathways and to induce a pro-apoptotic state besides the TCR signalling impairment. In this sense, gamma-chain receptor cytokines involved in memory generation and maintenance, such as low-level IL-2, IL-7, IL-15, and IL-21, might carry out a positive effect on metabolic reprogramming, apoptosis blockade and restoration of co-stimulatory signalling. This review sheds light on the role of combinatory immunotherapeutic strategies to restore a reactive anti-HCV T cell response based on the mixture of PD-1 blocking plus IL-2/IL-7/IL-15/IL-21 treatment.

    Abstract Thirty to fifty percent of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) display an immune class genetic signature. In this type of tumor, HCC-specific CD8 T cells carry out a key role in HCC control. Those potential reactive HCC-specific CD8 T cells recognize either HCC immunogenic neoantigens or aberrantly expressed host's antigens, but they become progressively exhausted or deleted. These cells express the negative immunoregulatory checkpoint programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) which impairs T cell receptor signaling by blocking the CD28 positive co-stimulatory signal. The pool of CD8 cells sensitive to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment is the PD-1dim memory-like precursor pool that gives rise to the effector subset involved in HCC control. Due to the epigenetic imprints that are transmitted to the next generation, the effect of PD-1 blockade is transient, and repeated treatments lead to tumor resistance. During long-lasting disease, besides the TCR signaling impairment, T cells develop other failures that should be also set-up to increase T cell reactivity. Therefore, several PD-1 blockade-based combinatory therapies are currently under investigation such as adding antiangiogenics, anti-TGFβ1, blockade of other negative immune checkpoints, or increasing HCC antigen presentation. The effect of these combinations on CD8
