Eosinophilic Sialodochitis: A Type of Chronic Obstructive Sialadenitis Related to Allergy

TL;DR: To investigate the clinical, laboratory, radiological, histopathological, and immunohistochemical features, and the expression of allergy‐related cytokines in eosinophilic sialodochitis (ES).
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical and imaging features of IgG4-related kidney disease.

TL;DR: Although the mass-like appearance mimics renal malignancy in some patients, progressive contrast enhancement in the lesion with elevated serum IgG4 suggests IgG3-RKD, which has various imaging appearances.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thyroid sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma with eosinophilia distinct from the salivary type.

TL;DR: Thyroid SMECE has favorable outcomes and seems to be genetically different from salivary MEC, and this is the first report to describe the presence of increased IgG4-positive plasma cells in the stroma ofSMECE.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intracranial Multiple Pseudotumor Due to Immunoglobulin G4-Related Disease without Other Lesions: Case Report and Literature Review.

TL;DR: This case and previous descriptions suggest the possibility of pseudotumor due to IgG4-RD in the presence of multiple extra-axial lesions at the dura and supplying artery; hard nodules with thickening of the artery; and frozen-section findings of lympho-plasmacytes surrounded by rich collagen fibers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunoglobulin G4-related disease presenting as bilateral ovarian masses and mimicking advanced ovarian cancer.

TL;DR: It is concluded that IgG4‐RD can present as a bilateral ovarian mass along with lymphadenopathy, therefore mimicking ovarian cancer.

TH1 and TH2 cells: different patterns of lymphokine secretion lead to different functional properties.

TL;DR: Two types of cloned helper T cells are described, defined primarily by differences in the pattern of lymphokines ynthesized, and the different functions of the two types of cells and their lymphokine synthesis are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differentiation of Effector CD4 T Cell Populations

TL;DR: This review summarizes the discovery, functions, and relationships among Th cells; the cytokine and signaling requirements for their development; the networks of transcription factors involved in their differentiation; the epigenetic regulation of their key cytokines and transcription factors; and human diseases involving defective CD4 T cell differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alternative Activation of Macrophages: An Immunologic Functional Perspective

TL;DR: The cellular sources of these cytokines, receptor signaling pathways, and induced markers and gene signatures are reviewed and the concept of macrophage activation in the context of the immune response is revisit.
Journal ArticleDOI

The regulation of IL-10 production by immune cells

TL;DR: Understanding the specific molecular events that regulate the production of IL-10 will help to answer the remaining questions that are important for the design of new strategies of immune intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

High serum IgG4 concentrations in patients with sclerosing pancreatitis.

TL;DR: Patients with sclerosing pancreatitis have high serum IgG4 concentrations, providing a useful means of distinguishing this disorder from other diseases of the pancreas or biliary tract.
