Article Synopsis
- Nivolumab combined with chemotherapy has become the standard treatment for advanced HER2-negative gastric cancer, with a focus on understanding its long-term effects through clinical trials.
- In the ATTRACTON-4 trial, conducted across Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, patients were assigned to either nivolumab or a placebo alongside common chemotherapy regimens, with the primary goals being progression-free survival and overall survival.
- After three years, the nivolumab group showed longer progression-free survival but similar overall survival compared to the placebo group, with a significant majority of patients who responded completely to treatment remaining alive, indicating its effective and safe use in this setting.
This paper presents a dual-band 4-element multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna featuring orthogonal circular polarization (CP) for Sub-6 GHz 5G applications. The single antenna combines a non-uniform width elliptical ring slot and a feed network, utilizing two L-shaped secondary feed lines to generate CP within the targeted frequency bands (3.55-3.

- This study analyzed changes in treatment patterns for Japanese patients with resectable gastric cancer from 2008 to 2022, focusing on adjuvant and recurrent therapy.
- In the adjuvant cohort, the use of S-1 decreased as new regimens were adopted, with S-1 making up 65% of treatments by 2019-2022, compared to 95.7% earlier.
- The recurrent cohort showed common first-line treatments like paclitaxel plus ramucirumab and S-1 combinations, aligning with Japanese Gastric Cancer Association guidelines.
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a member of the family Retroviridae that causes enzootic bovine leukemia (EBL). However, the association between BLV infection and EBL development remains unclear. In this study, we identified a BLV/SMAD3 chimeric provirus within CC2D2A intron 30 in monoclonal expanded malignant cells from a cow with EBL.

In this study, a mixed microbial strain EN00, which showed high edible plant oil (EPO)-consumption activity, was obtained from soil via enrichment cultivation. A fungal strain EN01 was isolated from EN00 and relegated to Fusarium keratoplasticum, based on the nucleotide sequences of the TEF1-α gene.
