Summary: A meta-analysis explored the association between specific polymorphisms in the IFN-γ and TNF-α genes and the incidence of LC. The results showed that rs361525 is associated with LC in alcoholic liver cirrhosis and HBV-related cirrhosis, while rs2430561 is associated with LC in the Asian population and in the context of HBV-related cirrhosis.

Summary: The study found that mutations in IL-6 -174G/C genotype were associated with an increased risk of AAA occurrence, while heterozygous carriers of TNF-α -308G/A genotype also showed an increased risk of AAA incidence. The wild-type genotypes of IL-6 -174G/C and TNF-α -308G/A appeared more frequently in healthy subjects, and were associated with a decreased risk of AAA.

Summary: The meta-analysis found an association between blood TNF-alpha levels and the risk of cerebral palsy in children, confirming the correlation between the two. Further investigation is needed to explore the exact relationship between TNF-alpha and cerebral palsy.

Summary: Functional polymorphisms of IL-1 alpha (C-889T), IL-1 beta (C+3954T, C-511T) and the composite genotype of IL-1 can serve as predictive markers for peri-implant disease, while the TNF alpha G-308A polymorphism is not associated with peri-implant disease.

Summary: Peri-implantitis (PI) is a multifactorial condition caused by the interactions of pathogens and the host immune response. Studies have shown that specific gene polymorphisms of IL-10 819 C/T, IL-10 592 C/A, and IL-1 beta + 3954 C/T may play a significant role in the pathogenesis of PI.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) polymorphisms and the risk of psoriasis. The results showed that the -238 G/A rs361525 polymorphism and the -857C/T rs1799724 polymorphism were associated with an increased risk of psoriasis. The study recommends future well-designed studies with larger sample sizes to confirm these results.

Summary: This meta-analysis found a marginally significant association between the IFNG +874AT genotype and high risk of MS, but no significant association between TNFA and TNFB gene polymorphisms and MS risk. Further studies with larger samples are needed for more conclusive results about the contribution of other polymorphisms to the risk of MS.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of genetic polymorphisms in RETN on the remission of RA patients receiving TNF-alpha inhibitors, and use machine learning algorithms to predict remission. The results showed that the most significant features associated with the efficacy of TNF-alpha inhibitors included sex, age, hypertension, sulfasalazine, and several genetic polymorphisms. The elastic net algorithm was found to be the best method for predicting remission in RA patients treated with TNF-alpha inhibitors.

Summary: Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, and surgical resection is the main treatment for solid tumors. However, surgery-induced stress responses can lead to immunosuppression and cancer regrowth and spread. The tumor microenvironment, particularly the presence of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), plays a crucial role in cancer progression and immune surveillance. Anesthetic agents and perioperative management have varying effects on inflammation, immune responses, and cancer-promoting signaling pathways, which may affect long-term cancer outcomes.

Summary: The study suggests that regular aspirin use is associated with a reduced risk of lung, breast, endometrial, ovarian, and prostate cancer, while no significant association was found for bladder and kidney cancer. The duration-use relations varied among different types of cancer, with an inverse relation observed for prostate cancer. The overall meta-analysis confirms the modest protective effect of regular aspirin use on certain cancers.

Summary: TNFa blocking agents, the first-in-class biologic drugs used for treating autoimmune diseases, have shown paradoxical exacerbation of autoimmunity in some patients. The complex signaling pathways of TNFa might explain the controversial findings of previous studies. Targeted manipulation of TNFa-TNF receptor signaling on select CD4(+) T cell subsets may offer specific therapeutic interventions for autoimmune diseases.

Summary: This study investigates the correlation between tumor necrosis factor-alpha receptor gene polymorphism and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in the Han population. The results show that TNFRSF1A gene polymorphism is associated with the occurrence of AS in the Han population, while TNFRSF1B gene polymorphism is not. Additionally, a significant genotype difference is found at the rs767455 site of the TNFRSF1A gene.

Summary: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is resistant to immune therapies due to its fibrotic and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments. Excessive accumulation of immunosuppressive macrophages has been found to influence immunotherapy resistance. Intervention studies targeting macrophages in combination with checkpoint blockade show promising results.
