Article Synopsis
- Natural killer (NK) cells play an important role in fighting Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections, but their recovery after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in the presence of EBV is not fully understood.
- A study involving 22 patients (11 with EBV reactivation and 11 controls) found that EBV infection leads to an increase in specific NK cell subsets (CD56 and NKG2AKIR), while reducing their overall ability to kill infected cells.
- The research indicated that older donor age raises the risk of EBV infection, but patients with younger donors showed a quicker NK cell response and better EBV clearance, highlighting the significance of DNAM-

Background: We aim to analyze the characteristics of stereotactic radiotherapy trials registered on ClinicalTrials.gov, and to compare completed and stopped early trials to identify predictors of trial failure.
Methods: All interventional stereotactic radiotherapy trials registered on ClinicalTrials.
Forty-nine patients with stage II cervical cancer were included to investigate the changes in bladder volume in response to different approaches to maintaining consistent bladder filling. The impacts of age (P ), water consumption (P ), and body mass index (BMI, P ) on the mean urinary inflow rate (v ) were analysed. The bladder volume (BV) increased linearly over time.

Methods: Sixty patients with stage III nasopharyngeal carcinoma were randomized into Yanshu group and control group (n = 30, each). Patients in the Yanshu group received Yanshu injection in addition to intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and concomitant chemotherapy, and those in the control group were treated with IMRT and concurrent chemotherapy.
