Abstract

Selenium (Se) is a micronutrient, which has recently been proven to have a positive effect on the immune system of cancer patients, but the underlying mechanism is not clearly defined. In this randomized controlled trial, we evaluated the effect of three-month Se supplementation on the profile of CD4+ T-helper subsets including IFN-γ+/IL-4- Th1, IFN-γ-/IL-4+ Th2, and CD4+IL-17+ Th17 cells in sixteen diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients at stable remission phase who consumed Se (Se+) compared to the fourteen control patients who did not receive Se (Se-). The frequency of IFN-γ+/IL-4- Th1, IFN-γ-/IL-4+ Th2, and CD4+IL-17+ Th17 lymphocytes was determined using a four-color flow cytometry method. The results revealed that three-month Se supplementation significantly decreased the proportion of CD4+IL-17+ Th17 lymphocytes but not IFN-γ+/IL-4- Th1 and IFN-γ-/IL-4+ Th2 subtypes in DLBCL patients at stable remission. Change in the percentage of IFN-γ+/IL-4- Th1, IFN-γ-/IL-4+ Th2, and CD4+IL-17+ Th17 cells did not significantly differ between Se+ and Se- groups. No positive correlation was observed between changes in different Th subpopulations in both Se+ and Se- groups. Taken together, three-month Se supplementation can reduce the proportion of CD4+IL-17+ Th17 cells in DLBCL patients at stable remission phase. Larger population and longer follow-up of patients is necessary to specify the clinical significance of Se supplementation on the popularity of T-helper cells in DLBCL patients.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 January 2023.
All research outputs
#15,322,694
of 23,565,002 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Laboratory
#136
of 811 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#216,099
of 437,840 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Laboratory
#5
of 31 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,565,002 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 811 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 437,840 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 31 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
