    Abstract Down syndrome (DS) is a unique genetic disease caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21, which carries four of the six interferon receptor (IFN-R) genes on its long arm. Recent studies reporting higher levels of interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) expression in primary immune cells studied ex vivo have suggested that the additional copies of the IFN-R genes in DS result in mild interferonopathy. In this review, we analyze the potential clinical and immunological impacts of this interferonopathy in DS. We performed a literature review to explore the epidemiology and risks of celiac disease, type 1 diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, mucocutaneous manifestations, infectious diseases (including COVID-19), and Alzheimer's disease in individuals with DS relative to the general population with or without iatrogenic exposure to interferons. We analyzed immunophenotyping data and the current experimental evidence concerning IFN-R expression, constitutive JAK-STAT activation, and ISG overexpression in DS. Despite the lack of direct evidence that implicating this mild interferonopathy directly in illnesses in individuals with DS, we highlight the challenges ahead and directions that could be taken to determine more clearly the biological impact of interferonopathy on various immune-related conditions in DS.

    Abstract The recent discovery of human signal peptide peptidase-like 2a (SPPL2a) deficiency in humans revealed the toxicity associated with the accumulation of one of its substrates, CD74 N-terminal fragment (CD74-NTF), for certain type of dendritic cells (cDC2). We developed a two-step protocol for monitoring the accumulation of this molecule in different subsets of PBMCs and immortalized B cells, in which SPPL2a is chemically inhibited and CD74-NTF levels are then assessed by flow cytometry or western blotting. The chemical inhibition of SPPL2a has been described elsewhere, but this is the first time that this inhibition has been reported as a protocol.

    Abstract Introduction: Persistent villous atrophy (VA) is not uncommon in celiac disease (CeD) while patients take a gluten-free diet (GFD).
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective study with 122 serum samples collected from controls and patients with CeD either at the initial diagnosis or at the follow-up during endoscopy. These samples were assigned to 3 groups: nonceliac control, non-VA CeD (Marsh score 0-2), and VA CeD (Marsh score 3a-3c). We established an in-house multiplex assay to identify potential serological biomarkers for VA. We assessed autoantibodies reported to affect the small intestine, including IgA and IgG antibodies against tissue transglutaminase (tTG), interferons, villin, actin, autoimmune enteropathy-related 75 kDa antigen (AIE-75), and tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH)-1, as well as 27 cytokines. The apolipoproteins quantified included apo A1, apo B-100, and apo A4, which were produced predominantly by the intestinal epithelium or expressed specifically in villi.
    Results: Autoantibody levels were high only for tTG antibodies, which performed well in initial CeD diagnosis, but suboptimally for VA prediction during follow-up, because 14.6% of the follow-up patients with VA had low tTG-IgA. Increasing dilution improved tTG-IgA quantification, particularly when the antibody levels were extremely high but did not significantly improve VA detection. Among those with low tTG-IgA and persistent VA, high proinflammatory cytokines were observed in 2 patients. Median low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were significantly lower in the VA CeD group ( P = 0.03). Apolipoprotein levels were similar in patients with and without VA but diverged between those on a GFD or not.
    Discussion: tTG-IgA as a biomarker is suboptimal for VA prediction while on a GFD. Persistent VA is associated with low low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and partially related to persistent high proinflammatory cytokines.

    Abstract As a typical microscopic imaging technology, the emergence of the microscope has accelerated the pace of human exploration of the micro world. With the development of science and technology, microscopes have developed from the optical microscopes at the time of their invention to electron microscopes and even atomic force microscopes. The resolution has steadily improved, allowing humans to expand the field of research from the initial animal and plant tissues to microorganisms such as bacteria, and even down to the nanolevel. The microscope is now widely used in life science, material science, geological research, and other fields. It can be said that the development of microscopes also promotes the development of micro- and nanotechnology. It is foreseeable that microscopes will play a significant part in the exploration of the microworld for a long time to come. The development of microscope technology is the focus of this study, which summarized the properties of numerous microscopes and discussed their applications in micro and nanotechnology. At the same time, the application of microscopic imaging technology in micro- and nanofields was investigated based on the properties of various microscopes.

    Abstract Micro-Nano optics is one of the most active frontiers in the current development of optics. It combines the cutting-edge achievements of photonics and nanotechnology, which can realize many brand-new functions on the basis of local electromagnetic interactions and become an indispensable key science and technology of the 21st century. Micro-Nano optics is also an important development direction of the new optoelectronics industry at present. It plays an irreplaceable role in optical communication, optical interconnection, optical storage, sensing imaging, sensing measurement, display, solid-state lighting, biomedicine, security, green energy, and other fields. In this paper, we will summarize the research status of micro-nano optics, and analyze it from four aspects: micro-nano luminescent materials and devices, micro-nano optical waveguide materials and devices, micro-nano photoelectric detection materials and devices, and micro-nano optical structures and devices. Finally, the future development of micro-nano optics will be prospected.

    Abstract Background and aim: Humans with inborn errors of immunity (IEI), or primary immunodeficiencies, may be associated with a potential risk factor for early-onset gastrointestinal (GI) cancer.
    Methods: We systematically reviewed all cases with clinical diagnoses of both an IEI and a GI cancer in three databases (MEDLINE, SCOPUS, and EMBASE). In total, 76 publications satisfying our inclusion criteria were identified, and data for 149 cases were analyzed. We also searched our institutional cancer registry for such cases.
    Results: We identified 149 patients with both an IEI and a GI cancer, 95 presented gastric cancer, 13 small bowel cancer, 35 colorectal cancer, and 6 had an unspecified cancer or cancer at another site. Gastric and colon adenocarcinomas were the most common. For both gastric and colorectal cancers, age at onset was significantly earlier in patients with IEIs than in the general population, based on the SEER database. Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) was the most common IEI associated with gastrointestinal cancer. About 12% of patients had molecular genetic diagnoses, the three most frequently implicated genes being ATM, CARMIL2, and CTLA4. Impaired humoral immunity and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection were frequently reported as factors potentially underlying early-onset GI cancers in patients with IEIs. We identified one patient with CVID and early-onset gastric adenocarcinoma, recurrent diarrhea, and gastrointestinal CMV infection from a retrospective survey.
    Conclusion: Patients with IEIs should be considered at risk of early-onset GI cancers and should therefore undergo cancer screening at an earlier age.

    Abstract Purpose: Rare genetic conditions like Down syndrome (DS) are historically understudied. Infection is a leading cause of mortality in DS, along with cardiac anomalies. Currently, it is unknown how the COVID-19 pandemic affects individuals with DS. Herein, we report an analysis of individuals with DS who were hospitalized with COVID-19 in New York, New York, USA.
    Methods: In this retrospective, dual-center study of 7246 patients hospitalized with COVID-19, we analyzed all patients with DS admitted in the Mount Sinai Health System and Columbia University Irving Medical Center. We assessed hospitalization rates, clinical characteristics, and outcomes.
    Results: We identified 12 patients with DS. Hospitalized individuals with DS are on average ten years younger than patients without DS. Patients with DS have more severe disease than controls, particularly an increased incidence of sepsis and mechanical ventilation.
    Conclusion: We demonstrate that individuals with DS who are hospitalized with COVID-19 are younger than their non-DS counterparts, and that they have more severe disease than age-matched controls. We conclude that particular care should be considered for both the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 in these patients.
