The outbreak of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection has brought great harm to people's life and social development. Although SARS-CoV-2 infection is more common in mild patients at present, considering the characteristics of crtical disease, rapid progress and high mortality, the treatment of critical patients are the focus of clinical attention. Immune imbalance which is characterized by cytokine storm plays a vital role in SARS-CoV-2 induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), extrapulmonary multiple organ failure and even death. Therefore, the application of immunosuppressive agent in crtical coronavirus disease patients has a promising prospect. In this paper, different immunosuppressive agents and their application in crtical SARS-CoV-2 infection are reviewed, so as to provide reference for crtical coronavirus disease therapy.

How follicular T-helper (Tfh) cells develop is incompletely understood. We find that, upon antigen exposure in vivo, both naïve and antigen-experienced T cells sequentially upregulate CXCR5 and Bcl6 within the first 24 h, relocate to the T-B border, and give rise to phenotypic Bcl6(+)CXCR5(+) Tfh cells before the first cell division. CXCR5 upregulation is more dependent on ICOS costimulation than that of Bcl6, and early Bcl6 induction requires T-cell expression of CXCR5 and, presumably, relocation toward the follicle. This early and rapid upregulation of CXCR5 and Bcl6 depends on IL-6 produced by radiation-resistant cells. These results suggest that a Bcl6(hi)CXCR5(hi) phenotype does not automatically define a Tfh lineage but might reflect a state of antigen exposure and non-commitment to terminal effector fates and that niches in the T-B border and/or the follicle are important for optimal Bcl6 induction and maintenance.

Objective:To explore the risk factors for postoperative delirium in colorectal cancer patients based on Meta-analysis.Methods:A computer search was conducted on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and China Biology Medicine disc, and literatures on influencing factors of postoperative delirium of colorectal cancer published by each database until April 6, 2022 were selected. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted the data, and evaluated the quality of the literature using Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) . Stata 15.0 statistical software was used to conduct a Meta-analysis of the included literatures.Results:A total of 19 articles were included, including 5 295 patients. The Meta-analysis results showed that the combined odds ratio ( OR) values and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of various factors for postoperative delirium in colorectal cancer patients were advanced age [1.10 (1.06-1.14) ] , male [2.29 (1.81-4.44) ] , alcohol abuse [3.14 (1.63-6.06) ] , preoperative physical condition grading (≥level 3) [1.47 (1.13-1.91) ] , comorbidities [1.59 (1.16-2.17) ] , history of mental illness [7.86 (4.57-13.54) ] , history of cerebrovascular disease [5.74 (3.78-8.72) ] , cognitive impairment [3.31 (1.20-9.08) ] , albumin [0.81 (0.66-0.99) ] , perioperative blood transfusion [2.29 (1.41-3.69) ] and C-reactive protein [2.24 (1.11-4.53) ] , all P<0.05. Conclusions:The risk factors for delirium in colorectal cancer patients after operation are old age, male, alcoholism, preoperative physical condition grading≥level 3, combined diabetes and other basic diseases, history of mental disease, history of cerebrovascular disease, cognitive dysfunction, low albumin, perioperative blood transfusion and elevated C-reactive protein.
