Introduction
The antigen-independent regulation of sebaceous gland function by immune cells is recently put into focus as sebaceous immunobiology [1]. Sebum lipids, predominantly triglycerides and fatty acids, adds up to 57.5% of total lipids, and the major fatty acid desaturase in human sebaceous glands is stearoyl-CoA D-6 desaturase [2]. It induces rapid oxidation and degradation of linoleic acid, along with its derivatives in sebaceous gland cells [2]. The degradation chain not only yields antibacterial and antifungal products, but also products that activate the receptor domain [2].
Sebaceous immunobiology is especially relevant to endocytosis. The causal relations have been less studied. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is induced into cell cytoplasm by endocytic trafficking induced by human sebocytes, during hypoxic stress [3]. It is inferred from the evidence that sebaceous immunobiology is interlinked with apoptosis pathways. With the close associations between immunobiology and neurology, suitable study designs for sebaceous immunobiology have been insufficient.
With a sole participant study design on COVID-19 post-vaccination autoimmune pathogen, the scientific value of the participant’s autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in response to autoimmune pathogens has emerged from the medical observations during clinical monitoring. Summative of the clinical trials numbered NCT05711810 and NCT05839236 on the participant’s neurodiverse case, the review navigates the trials’ basic science implications [4, 5]. The interventional trials mainly adopted inhibition therapies to the neurodivergent case to boost recovery and detoxication of the autoimmune pathogens; the interdisciplinary approach amongst psychiatry, neurology, immunology, and pharmacokinetics has been adopted for the review.
Review
Neurodiversity
Neurodiversity is a recent topic in the medical sciences that originated from psychiatry. Neurodiversity is comparable to biodiversity within the human species, and the statistically insignificant group under the evolutionary perspective may reflect the dynamic human-environment interactions that can further co-determine the evolutionary paths of the human race. Both genetic and prenatal conditions have been reported to contribute to neurodiversity, and propositions on epigenetic studies in gene-environment interactions have been raised [6].
Albeit the review has limited the scope in terms of the medical sciences, cognitive science aspects are not irrelevant to neurodiversity phenomena. Institutional and organizational behaviors are mass psychologically driven. The multivariable among human activities, collection decisions, focus and predictability of nature, intersubjective interpretations, etc., all pose the possible uncomprehensiveness in collecting scientific and human knowledge concerning the orthodoxes of behaviors from their implications in the natural sciences.
Within the framework of rationality, the review does not take
the responsive cognitive elements into the discussions of neurological and immunological sciences. There is a scientific consensus that persons with ASD are more prone to viral pathogens [7]. The review takes an alternative perspective that persons with ASD may be more sensitive to pathogenic signals. Traditional views of ASD vulnerability are based on normative pathogens but do not consider autoimmune pathogens. The baseline of the case from autoimmune pathogens is set on the medical history tested on Feb. 8, 2022, whereby the chemiluminescence results on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are seen in Table 1 [8].
Table 1: The virus-specific false positive result of the participant approximately one year before the clinical trial.
Indicator | Baseline | Reference Range | Unit | Method |
---|---|---|---|---|
HIV | 0.08 | 0.00-1.00 | S/CO | Chemiluminescence |
Contributed to the HIV gp41 structural similarity of SARS-CoV-2 Spike 2 protein, virus-specific HIV tests with chemiluminescence and other methods have reported false-positive results [8-10]. Regarding autoimmune pathogen detection, however, HIV tests could have provided a better indicator than COVID-19-specific tests, whereby the participant has been testing negative for COVID-19 after the vaccinations without any risky contacts.
Nerve Compression in ASD
The nerve compression clinical symptoms are the natural nerve terminal inhibition activities in response to autoimmune pathogens. Twin studies in ASD upon phenotypes suggest both genotype and prenatal environment play a role in developing neurodiverse conditions [7]. The participant’s birthmother experienced the loss of twin daughters before bearing the participant, contributed by the virological leak in the hospital in Chongqing in the 1980s upon labor. Apart from mutations resulting from developmental differences in the Central Nerve System (CNS) compared to neurotypical persons, the main developed anatomic neurodivergence has been psychiatrically located to be the differentiations in neuronal [dis]connectivity [7]. In the case the review based upon, the disconnectivity is located on the cervical plexus. While the disconnectivity can be clinically define as nerve compression due to the diagnostic purposes in medical treatment during the recovery process’ necessities in lipid degradation, it is regarded as the indicator of nerve terminal inhibition.
The main differentiation between ASD and neurotypical persons resides with the vagus nerve (VN). The VN belongs to the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) under the subcategory of Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS), with the other two main subcategories of Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) and Enteric Nervous System (ENS) [11]. The ANS is classically considered a system that cannot be voluntarily influenced, and that passively balances homeostasis [12]. The SNS and PNS regulate vegetative function by acting in opposition to each other [11]. However, the logical premise may be shaken by the voluntary activation of the SNS exceptions with techniques involving the breathing methods [12]. The exceptions suggest voluntary controls in the ANS may change the homeostasis by conscious practices and, in turn, influence an individual’s internal nuclear dynamics.
