    Abstract The hyper-immunoglobulin E syndrome (HIES) is a primary immunodeficiency disease originally described as Job syndrome. The fundamental causative variant of the HIES is an autosomal dominant mutation in the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) gene. It is characterized by recurrent staphylococcal cold skin abscess, sinopulmonary infection, eczema, head and face anomalies, frequent bone fractures, eosinophilia and extremely high serum IgE levels (IgE ≥ 2000 IU/mL). However, multiple other genetic defects are also known as HIES-like disorders. Apart from infectious manifestations, STAT3, DOCK8 and TYK2 gene mutations are associated with various malignancies. The most common malignancies reported in these patients are lymphomas, including Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) of B and T cells. This systematic review aimed to investigate the prevalence of malignancies in HIES and the factors associated with malignancy in these patients. In this survey, all articles published until April 1st, 2023, in Scopus, PubMed and Web of Science databases based on three groups of keywords related to HIES syndrome and malignancy were reviewed by three different researchers. Finally, 26 articles were evaluated from which 24 papers were meta-analyzed. In the current study, the demographic information of 1133 patients with HIES, which was mentioned in 24 articles enrolled in the project, was collected, and the information related to patients who had malignancy was analyzed and meta-analyzed. A total of 96 patients out of 1133 studied patients had at least one type of malignancy, the overall prevalence of malignancies reported in the articles was 6.5% (95% confidence interval 4.1-9%), and the total prevalence of malignancy in patients with NHL type and patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) was 2.9% (95% confidence interval 1.7-4.4%) and 2.2% (95% confidence interval 0.3-4.1%), respectively. The results of this study indicated that in 6.5% of cases, HIES was complicated with malignancy, and considering the higher rate of these malignancies in women as well as in DOCK8 mutation sufferers, it is necessary for physicians to be aware of this association and includes malignancy screening in follow-up and periodic examinations of these patients. Indeed, more studies in this field will help to clarify the precise figures and predisposing factors of the relationship between HIES and malignancy.

    Abstract Guar is a drought- and salt-tolerant annual summer legume which could be a potential alternative crop in semiarid regions. The increased use of guar gum in oil industries has increased the global demand for guar. An experiment was carried out during 2 consecutive years to investigate the effect of plant density and nutrient application on yield and physiological characteristics of guar. A factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted during the 2017 and 2018 growing seasons. Studied factors included phosphorous (P1: 0, P2: 75 kg/ha, P3: 150 kg/ha, P4: 225 kg/ha) and folic acid application (F1: 0, F2: 4 kg/ha, F3: 8 kg/ha, F4: 12 kg/ha) and plant density (D1: 10 plants/m² and D2: 20 plants/m²). Seed yield components, biological yield, protein value of seeds, leaf relative water content (RWC), guar percentage, and phosphorous-use efficiency (PUE) were measured. The highest biological yield (19058 kg/ha) and the highest seed yield (6129 kg/ha) were produced by the D1P4F4 and D2P4F4 treatments, respectively. Low plant density resulted in high biological yield, while high plant density resulted in high seed yield. The highest protein content (32.5%) was observed in D2P4F4. The highest RWC and gum percentage were produced in D2P4 and D2F4 treatments, respectively. An increase in P₂O₅ application rates up to 225 kg/ha significantly increased seed yield. The highest PUE (1.41 g/kg) was observed at a high plant density. Applying 225 kg/ha phosphorous fertilizer resulted in the highest PUE (1.5 g/kg). Therefore, increasing the application of phosphorous and folic acid could increase the yield and yield components of guar; a plant density of 20 plants/m² could also increase the biological yield. The results of this study may also help to extend guar cultivation in other regions.

    Abstract Glycogen storage disease type Ib (GSDIb) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations of SLC37A4 gene, which encodes glucose 6-phosphate translocase (G6PT). Malfunction of G6PT leads to excessive fat and glycogen in liver, kidney, and intestinal mucosa. The clinical manifestations of GSD1b include hepatomegaly, renomegaly, neutropenia, hypoglycemia, and lactic acidosis. Furthermore, the disorder may result in severe complications in long-term including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), hepatocellular adenomas (HCA), short stature, and autoimmune disorders, which stem from neutropenia and neutrophil dysfunction. Here, we represent a novel mutation of SLC37A4 in a 5-month girl who has a history of hospitalizations several times due to recurrent infection and her early presentations were failure to thrive and tachypnea. Further investigations revealed mild atrial septal defect, mild arteriovenous malformation from left lung, esophageal reflux, Horseshoe kidney, and urinary reflux in this patient. Moreover, the lab tests showed neutropenia, immunoglobulin (Ig) G and IgA deficiency, as well as thrombocytosis. Whole exome sequencing revealed c.1245G > A P.W415 homozygous mutation in SLC37A4 gene and c.580G > A p.V1941 heterozygous mutation in PIK3CD gene. This study shows that manifestations of GSD1b may not be limited to what was previously known and it should be considered in a wider range of patients.

    Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is considered an autoimmune chronic disorder and the most common inflammatory arthropathy. Disease progression in RA begins with asymptomatic autoimmune responses in cases with a genetic or environmental predisposition, that alters to arthralgia phase as autoantibodies reach the joints and subjects begin demonstrating nonspecific musculoskeletal presentations lacking any clinical symptoms of synovial inflammation. After that, patients' symptoms develop to undifferentiated arthritis (UA)/idiopathic arthritis (IA) whenever the subjects progress to clinical synovitis systemic comorbidities affecting the vasculature, metabolism, and bone, and eventually with augmented immune cell infiltration, IA/UA patients progress to clinically classifiable RA. RA is mainly correlated with different immune cells and each of them contributes variously to the pathogenesis of the disease. The pathogenesis of RA is altered by the contribution of both T and B cells in an autoimmune irregularity. Modulation of the immune responses occurs through regulatory and inhibitory molecules that control activation of the adaptive system as well as immune hemostasis. To confine the exorbitant T cell-associated inflammatory reactions, the immune system provides a system of inhibitory feedbacks, collectively named immune checkpoints. In this review, we aimed to discuss about inhibitory members of immune checkpoint molecules, including programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/PD-L1, cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte-antigen-4, lymphocyte activation gene-3, T cell immunoglobulin-3, V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation, B- and T-lymphocyte attenuator, and T cell immunoglobulin and ITIM domain and their role in RA.

    Abstract Treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder, is currently considered a challenging issue since it causes substantial disability, poor quality of life, and mortality. Despite remarkable progress in advanced conventional therapeutic interventions, the global burden of the disease has nearly doubled, prompting us to assess the riskeffectiveness of different treatment modalities. Each protocol could be considered as the best alternative treatment depending on the patient's situation. Prescription of levodopa, the most effective available medicine for this disorder, has been associated with many complications, i.e., multiple episodes of "off-time" and treatment resistance. Other medications, which are typically used in combination with levodopa, may have several adverse effects as well. As a result, the therapies that are more in line with human physiology and make the least interference with other pathways are worth investigating. On the other hand, remaining and persistent symptoms after therapy and the lack of effective response to the conventional approaches have raised expectations towards innovative alternative approaches, such as stem cell-based therapy. It is critical to not overlook the unexplored side effects of innovative approaches due to the limited number of research. In this review, we aimed to compare the efficacy and risk of advanced therapies with innovative cell-based and stemcell- based modalities in PD patients. This paper recapitulated the underlying factors/conditions, which could lead us to more practical and established therapeutic outcomes with more advantages and few complications. It could be an initial step to reconsider the therapeutic blueprint for patients with Parkinson's disease.

    Abstract Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune inflammatory disease characterized by an unknown etiology and a highly variable clinical presentation. This clinical heterogeneity might be explained by dysregulation of tolerance to self and apoptotic mechanisms, overproduction of autoantibodies, and abnormal cytokine levels. Cytokine imbalance levels have been associated with disease activity and severity in SLE patients. In the last years, salivary cytokines related to SLE have gained significant attention and researchers have begun to focus on the identification of cytokines in the saliva of SLE patients using it as a diagnostic fluid for the inflammatory process underlying SLE. This review highlights and summarizes recent studies revealing the cytokines that have been identified in the saliva of individuals with SLE. Data reported and discussed in this report may provide useful additional information to better understand the mechanisms associated with the disease.

    Abstract Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in host defense against infections and regulates the innate and acquired immune response. IL-18 is produced by both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells, including monocytes, macrophages, keratinocytes and mesenchymal cell. IL-18 could potentially induce inflammatory and cytotoxic immune cell activities leading to autoimmunity. Its elevated levels have been reported in the blood of patients with some immune-related diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, type I diabetes mellitus, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease. In the present review, we aimed to summarize the biological properties of IL-18 and its pathological role in different autoimmune diseases. We also reported some monoclonal antibodies and drugs targeting IL-18. Most of these monoclonal antibodies and drugs have only produced partial effectiveness or complete ineffectiveness

    Abstract Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs) consist of a heterogeneous group of genetically disorders that affect distinct components of the immune system. They manifest as increased susceptibility to life-threatening infections, as well as autoimmunity and inflammatory disease. Among them, patients with diseases of immune dysregulation and autoinflammatory disorders are more complicated with autoimmunity. On the other hand, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is one of the major players in the pathogenesis of autoimmunity and inflammation in PID patients. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting TNF-α would be a potential approach as a therapeutic tool for these diseases. In the current review, we aimed to highlight the characteristics of TNF-α and its important role in the pathogenesis of related complication in PID diseases. Critical evaluation of the mAbs targeting TNF-α (e.g. infliximab, etanercept, and adalimumab) in various immune-mediated complications in PID diseases will be provided, and finally, their clinical efficacy and safety will be reported.
