Young age, no microfracture, and postoperative plaster fixation were associated with good long-term prognosis. In contrast to intense investigations of galactose-deficient immunoglobulin A (IgA)1 specific immunoglobulin G (IgG), little is known about the IgG subclasses in IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Low IgG4 levels in IgAN were noticed in our preliminary experiment. We aimed to verify the low IgG4 levels and investigate the related immune mechanism in IgAN. A total of 112 healthy controls (HC) and 112 newly diagnosed IgAN patients were enrolled in this study. Patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN), minimal change disease (MCD), or lupus nephritis (LN) were selected as disease controls (DC) (n=122). Serum IgG4 and IgG levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The IgG4 B, T helper 1 (Th1), and Th2 cells were measured by flow cytometry. Receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) were performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of IgG4. Both IgG4 levels and IgG4/IgG in IgAN were lower than HC and DC (all P<0.001). Severe IgAN displayed lower IgG4 levels than mild IgAN (P=0arker for IgAN. Decreased IgG4+ B cells and Th2 cells may contribute to the low IgG4 levels in IgAN. Genetic locus were identified associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Our goal was to explore the associations between genetic variants and ARDS outcome, as well as subphenotypes. This was a single-center, prospective observational trial enrolling adult ARDS patients. After baseline data were collected, blood samples were drawn to perform whole exome sequencing, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)/insertion-deletion to explore the quantitative and functional associations between genetic variants and ICU outcome, clinical subphenotypes. Then the lung injury burden (LIB), which was defined as the ratio
