Objective:The clinicalpathological features of TAFRO syndrome were analyzed to clarify the similarities and differences between TAFRO syndrome and autoimmune diseases and to establish differential diagnosis.Methods:Six patients diagnosed with TAFRO syndrome in Shanxi Bethune Hospital from January 2014 to March 2022 were collected. The clinical, examination, pathology and treatment of TAFRO syndrome were analyzed and compared with autoimmune diseases, especially systemic lupus erythematosus and Sj?gren′s syndrome.Results:Among the 6 patients, 4 were males and 2 were females, with an average age of (57.5 ±9.8) years. All the 6 patients had fever, edema (including chest and abdominal effusion and systemic edema), thrombocytopenia (3 main criteria) and more than 2 secondary criteria.ESR and CRP were significantly elevated in 6 patients. There were 1 case of elevated IgA and IgG (IgA 4.10 g/L, IgG19.05 g/L), 1 case of elevated igg (IgG 19.33 g/L), 3 cases of normal and 1 case of undetected. Serum IgG4 was negative in 4 cases and undetected in 2 cases. Autoantibodies: 4 cases were ANA positive, including 1 case with anti-SSA/Ro52(+), anti-SSA/Ro60(+), anti-SSB (+), 1 case with anti-SSA /Ro60(+), and 2 untested. Bone marrow cytological examination was performed in 6 cases, all of which showed active hyperplasia, 2 cases showed elevated megakaryocytes, and 1 case was accompanied by interstitial fibrosis. Pathological examination of lymph nodes: 5 cases were consistent with Castleman′s disease, and 1 case was suggestive of reactive hyperplasia of lymph nodes. Conclusion:Although the diagnostic criteria of TAFRO syndrome should exclude autoimmune diseases, TAFRO syndrome and autoimmune diseases can coexist, and the connective tissue disease complicated with TAFRO syndrome has its specific clinical characteristics and treatment plan, which needs to be identified clinically.

Objective:
To investigate the correlation of chemerin levels in the serum and intestinal mucosal with in- testinal mucosal inflammation in IBS-D mice .
Methods:
A total of 128 female C57BL/6J mice were randomly di- vided into IBS-D group and control group , with 64 mice in each group . Wire Restraint Stress method (WRS) was used to construct an animal model of IBS-D . Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect serum and co- lonic mucosal chemerin levels in mice . Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe colonic mucosal in- flammation . Geboes value was used to evaluate the severity of colonic mucosal inflammation .
Results:
In the IBS- D group , the concentration of serum chemerin increased and reached the peak in the first week of the experiment ( t = 6. 538 , P < 0. 001) , and the concentration of colonic mucosa chemerin increased and reached the peak in the fourth week of the experiment ( t = 8 . 104 , P < 0. 001) ; in the first week of experiment , the colonic mucosa of IBS- D mice showed inflammatory reaction , which was the most significant in the fifth week (P < 0. 05) . Geboes score was ( 1 . 75 ±0. 50) vs (0. 55 ±0. 52) .
Conclusion
There is a temporal sequence between the elevation of serum and intestinal mucosal chemerin levels and the severity of intestinal mucosal inflammation , and it is hypothesized that the elevated serum and intestinal mucosal chemerin levels correlate with the onset and progression of intestinal mucosal inflammation .
