The role of triglycerides (TG) in coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is controversial. The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between TG levels and prognosis in COVID-19 patients and investigate the factors that affect TG. COVID-19 patients were divided into normal or high TG level groups. Their demographic data, medical history, signs and symptoms, laboratory results, and final clinical results were analyzed retrospectively. A total of 174 patients were included. TG level was 1.6 (interquartile range [IQR] 1.1-2.1) mmol/L for all patients; 2.2 (IQR 1.8-2.7) mmol/L and 1.1 (IQR 1.0-1.3) mmol/L in the high TG and control groups, respectively. Overall, 29 patients (16.7%) died during hospitalization, including 19 (23.1%) in the high TG group and 10 (11.5%) in the control group (absolute survival difference, 2.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2%-5.1%), log-rank χ 2 = 5.7, and p = .017). Serum ferritin, C-reactive protein (CRP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels were significantly higher in the high TG group compared to the control group. Pearson correlation analysis showed that TG was positively correlated with fasting blood glucose, leukocyte, serum ferritin, LDH, CRP, and IL-10 levels. Multiple regression showed that serum ferritin and IL-10 levels affected the TG level (R 2 = .095). Shikonin in vivo The TG level in COVID-19 patients is correlated to serum ferritin and IL-10 levels, which reflects the activation of macrophages. It is suggested that COVID-19 patients be monitored for elevated TG as both a prognostic indicator and potential therapeutic target for COVID-19. The interaction between activating receptor NKp30 and its major tumor ligand B7-H6 is important for NK cell-mediated tumor rejection. However, the regulation of B7-H6 by tumor therapeutics remains largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the regulation of B7-H6 by all-trans retinoic acid (atRA), a terminal differentiation inducer of tumor cells that is extensively used for clinical leukemia therapy. We investigated the role of NKp30B7-H6 axis in NK cell-mediated tumor lysis against leukemia cells and the influence of atRA treatment on the cytotoxicity of NK cells using NK cell lines (NK92 and NKG) and leukemia cell lines (U-937 and THP-1). We evaluated the effect of atRA treatment on the expression of B7-H6 using real-time PCR, flow cytometry and western blotting. We used CRISPR/Cas9 to knockdown B7-H6 expression and siRNA to knockdown c-Myc in U-937 cells to evaluate the role of B7-H6 and c-Myc in atRA-induced tumor resistance against NK cells. NK cell-mediated U-937 cell lysis was mainly depend-Myc signaling pathway, suggesting that more attention needs to be paid to the immunological adverse effects in the clinical use of atRA treatment. Many studies reported that reproductive desire could be high among transgender (TG) individuals. In France, fertility preservation (FP) and sperm donation were very little proposed to TG individuals until recently, mainly because the Bioethics Law allows the use of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) only in infertile couples and prohibits surrogacy. To evaluate the distribution of care on the French territory concerning fertility preservation and sperm donation in TG individuals. A multicentric national survey was carried out between January 2019 and October 2020 in 28 ART centres of the French CECOS (Centres d'Etudes et de Conservation des Oeufs et du Sperme) network. Each centre was questioned to find out how many TG individuals came, were informed and cared for FP and sperm donation. Concerning FP, 71.4% of centres received TG individuals and performed gamete cryopreservation; 581 TG individuals consulted for FP. TG women were more likely to desire (P<0.0001) and achieve (P<0.0001) FP t allows these latter, and TG individuals can benefit from a financial support of the national
