Tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells are a recently defined subtype of non-recirculating memory T cells with longevity and protective functions in peripheral tissues. As an essential frontline defense against infections, TRM cells have been reported to robustly patrol the tissue microenvironment in malignancies. Accumulating evidence also implicates that TRM cells in the relapse of chronic inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis and vitiligo. In light of these developments, this review aims to synthesize these recent findings to enhance our understanding of TRM cell characteristics and actions. Therefore, after providing a brief overview of the general features of the TRM cells, including precursors, homing, retention, and maintenance, we discuss recent insights gained into their heterogeneous functions in skin diseases. Specifically, we explore their involvement in conditions such as psoriasis, vitiligo, fixed drug eruption - dermatological manifestations of drug reactions at the same spot, cutaneous T cell lymphoma, and melanoma. By integrating these diverse perspectives, this review develops a comprehensive model of TRM cell behavior in various skin-related pathologies. In conclusion, our review emphasizes that deciphering the characteristics and mechanisms of TRM cell actions holds potential not only for discovering methods to slow cancer growth but also for reducing the frequency of recurrent chronic inflammation in skin tissue.

Objectives:To explore the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic risk factors in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients with lung metastasis.Methods:Patients of differentiated thyroid cancer with lung metastasis in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute & Hospital were enrolled from Jan 1, 2010 to Dec 31, 2016. The clinicopathological characteristics and risk factors affecting the prognosis were analyzed retrospectively.Results:A total of 65 DTC patients with lung metastasis were collected in this study, including 56 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma and 9 patients with follicular thyroid carcinoma; 23 patients died and 42 patients survived. Median follow-up time was 99.4 months. There were 18 males, 47 females. Age 14-73 years, median age 51.0 years. High incidence of DTC lung metastasis was 50-59 years for males and 40-49 years for females. Based on AJCC 8th edition TNM staging, there were 37 patients in stage Ⅱ (age <55 years) and 28 patients in stage Ⅳb (age ≥55 years). The number of 131Ⅰ treatments performed ranged from 1 to 13 times, with a mean of 3.9 times. Firty-five patients were with lung metastasis alone, and 10 patients with lung metastasis and distant metastasis in other organs. Eleven patients suffered from hypoparathyroidism after 131Ⅰ treatment. COX multifactorial regression analysis found that age was independent risk factor affecting prognosis, multiple organs distant metastasis and pathologic subtype were relative risk factors affecting prognosis. There was no correlation between gender, number of 131Ⅰ treatments and poor prognosis. Conclusions:DTC has a high survival even with the occurrence of lung metastasis, but the prognosis is poor when combined with multi-organ metastasis. Age and multiple organ distant metastatic are independent risk factors affecting prognosis.

Objective To analyze the deep venous thrombosis(DVT)after plasma infusion in a patient with congenital dysfibrinogene-mia(CD),and explore the relationship between the CD and DVT.Methods The clinical data were collected and the pedigree was investigated(3 subjects of 2 generations in total).The relevant indexes of coagulation factors of the patient and her family members were detected.The genomic DNA of peripheral blood was extracted for PCR amplification.All the exons,flanking sequences,5'and 3'untranslated regions of FGA,FGB and FGG genes of fibrinogen(Fg)of the patient were analyzed by direct sequencing.The corre-sponding mutation site was subjected to sequence in the other members of this family.The PyMol software was used to construct the pro-tein model before and after gene mutation.Results The patient was admitted to hospital for hysteromyomectomy.DVT appeared in 3 days after surgery.The prothrombin time(PT),thrombin time(TT),Fg activity(Fg∶C)and Fg antigen(Fg∶Ag)of the patient was 14.9 s,33.3 s,0.94 g/L and 2.10 g/L,respectively.The above four indicators in her mother were 14.7 s,32.8 s,0.97 g/L and 2.35 g/L,respectively.Gene sequencing revealed that both the patient and her mother had a heterozygous missense mutation c.2185G>A(p.Glu729Lys)in exon 6 of the FGA gene.The protein model analysis demonstrated that p.Glu729Lys mutation changed the amino acid side chain and reduced the number of hydrogen bonds originally formed with Arg854.Conclusion A heterozygous missense mutation c.2185G>A(NM_000508)in exon 6 of the FGA gene should be responsible for the low fibrinogen level in this pedigree,which might be the main reason for DVT after plasma infusion in this patient.
