TL;DR: AIPC is a unique inflammatory disorder characterized by an immune reaction predominantly mediated by Th2 cells and Tregs, which could be characterized by the over‐production of T helper (Th) 2 and regulatory cytokines.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: There are considerable clinical and pathological differences between IgG4+MOLPS and SS, and based on the clinical features and good response to glucocorticoids, a new clinical entity is proposed: IgG 4+MolPS.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Although a recent unanimous consensus of all relevant researchers in Japan recently established the diagnostic criteria for IgG4-related disease, findings such as the authors' indicate that further discussion is needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
IgG4-Related Chronic Sclerosing Dacryoadenitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The serum CRP level is generally low and the serum IgG4 level is elevated in most Japanese IgG 4-RD patients, in contrast to western patients, suggest that these two parameters in IgG3-RD differ in some interesting ways from those hitherto reported in western populations.
