BackgroundNeoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy (nCIT) has shown promise in treating early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (eTNBC), but predictive biomarkers for pathological response and prognosis remain poorly defined.ObjectiveThis study aimed to explor…
BackgroundImmunosenescence is an important factor in the impaired immune response in older adults and plays a significant role in the development of biological aging. Targeting immunosenescence could present a novel pharmacological approach to mitigati…
Background and aimsVitamin D deficiency, widely prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) could play a role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease (CVD) by causing alterations in endothelial and immune function. We investigated the…
IntroductionGlucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency has a distinct regional and ethnic heterogeneity in distribution, and information on the molecular characteristics of G6PD deficiencies in the Heze area, Shandong Province, China, is limit…
IntroductionClinical trials do not typically assess underlying molecular mechanisms of vaccine immunogenicity or reactogenicity. We evaluated the reactogenicity and immunogenicity of 4 mRNA vaccines and potential contributing mechanisms and identified …
BackgroundCombination of anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody with chemotherapy has been widely used as a first-line treatment for metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, the efficacy of this therapeutic combination as a neoadjuvant int…
BackgroundEbola virus disease (EVD) is one of the most dangerous and lethal diseases affecting humans. There are several licensed vaccines against EVD, but it remains one of the priority diseases for research and development of effective vaccines.Metho…
IntroductionGout is 12-times more prevalent in kidney transplant (KT) recipients than in non-transplanted population. We report quality-of-life (QOL) and clinical assessment findings from the PROTECT trial examining pegloticase efficacy and safety in K…
BackgroundHyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been confirmed as an effective and economical therapeutic modality for treating hemorrhagic cystitis (HC), whether induced by infection or acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), in transplant recipients….
IntroductionOlder patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) respond poorly to standard induction therapy. DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) and histone-deacetylases (HDACs) are key regulators of gene expression in cells and have been investigated as impo…
