Camrelizumab plus famitinib in previously chemo-immunotherapy treated patients with advanced NSCLC: results from an open-label multicenter phase 2 basket study.

Background: The combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors and antiangiogenic agents has been effective in treating multiple cancers. This was further explored in an open-label, multicenter phase 2 basket study (NCT04346381), which evaluated the antitumor activity and safety of camrelizumab (an anti-PD-1 antibody) plus famitinib (a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor) in patients with advanced solid tumors. We herein report the findings from the cohort of advanced NSCLC patients who progressed after treatment with platinum-doublet chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

Berberine Mediates the Production of Butyrate to Ameliorate Cerebral Ischemia via the Gut Microbiota in Mice.

Ischemic stroke (IS) is a vascular disease group concomitant with high morbidity and mortality. Berberine is a bioactive substance and it has been known to improve stroke, but its mechanism is yet to be proven. Mice were fed with BBR for 14 days.

METTL3-dependent N6-methyladenosine modification is involved in berberine-mediated neuroprotection in ischemic stroke by enhancing the stability of NEAT1 in astrocytes.

Ischemic stroke (IS) is one of the principal causes of disability and death worldwide. Berberine (BBR), derived from the traditional Chinese herbal medicine Huang Lian, has been reported to inhibit the progression of stroke, but the specific mechanism whereby BBR modulates the progression of ischemic stroke remains unclear. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is the most typical epigenetic modification of mRNA post-transcriptional modifications, among which METTL3 is the most common methylation transferase.

A case report of autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein astrocytopathy presenting as an isolated spinal cord lesion.

Introduction: Autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein astrocytopathy (GFAP-A) is a group of neurological syndromes involving the meninges, brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves and is characterized by sensitivity to steroid therapy. Due to the diverse clinical presentation and lack of uniform diagnostic criteria, GFAP-A can easily be overlooked or diagnosed as another disease. It is even rarer when presenting as an isolated spinal cord lesion.

TMAO Promotes NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation of Microglia Aggravating Neurological Injury in Ischemic Stroke Through FTO/IGF2BP2.

Objective: Stroke is a kind of cerebrovascular disease with high mortality. TMAO has been shown to aggravate stroke outcomes, but its mechanism remains unclear.

Materials And Methods: Mice were fed with 0.

Transplantation Ameliorates Cognitive Impairment and Decreases Oxidative Stress in Vascular Dementia Rats.

Vascular dementia is a type of dementia from brain damage caused by cerebrovascular lesions and vascular risk factors. is a species of , belonging to the category of obligate anaerobe. The purpose of our work was to study the protection of on cognitive function in rats subjected to vascular dementia (VaD) and investigate underlying molecular mechanisms.

Enhanced biomass production and wastewater treatment in attached co-culture of Chlorella pyrenoidosa with nitrogen-fixing bacteria Azotobacter beijerinckii.

Algae-bacteria symbiosis can promote the growth of microalgae and improve the efficiency of wastewater treatment. Attached culture is an efficient culture technique for microalgae, with benefits of high yield, low water consumption and easy harvesting. However, the promoting effects of bacteria on microalgae in attached culture are still unclear.

Improved effects of combined application of nitrogen-fixing bacteria Azotobacter beijerinckii and microalgae Chlorella pyrenoidosa on wheat growth and saline-alkali soil quality.

Soil salinization seriously affects crop yield and soil productivity. The application of bacteria and microalgae has been considered as a promising strategy to alleviate soil salinization. However, the effect of bacteria-microalgae symbiosis on saline-alkali land is still unclear.

Improvement of phosphate solubilizing bacteria Paenibacillus xylanexedens on the growth of Chlorella pyrenoidosa and wastewater treatment in attached cultivation.

A symbiotic system of algae-bacteria, and attached cultivation, are two ways to increase microalgae biomass, and beneficially effect wastewater treatment. However, the possible advantages of the algae-bacteria co-culture in attached cultivation, are still unclear. This paper investigates the effects of different morphologies of a phosphate solubilizing bacteria-Paenibacillus xylanexedens (bacteria supernatant, bacteria, broken bacteria), on the growth of microalgae-Chlorella pyrenoidosa and wastewater treatment in an attached co-culture system.

Efficacy and safety of heat-sensitive moxibustion in the treatment of neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most disabling and destructive neurological diseases. Neurogenic bladder dysfunction (NBD) is one of the serious complications after SCI, 80% of patients after SCI will have neurogenic bladder symptoms. NBD after SCI may lead to urinary retention, urinary incontinence, and urinary tract infection.

Effect of extracorporeal shock wave therapy for rotator cuff tendonitis: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Rotator cuff tendinitis is a highly prevalent cause of shoulder pain and leads to decreased patient quality of life. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and ultrasound-guided needling are considered beneficial for rotator cuff tendinitis. A systematic review and meta-analysis comparing ESWT with sham-ESWT or ultrasound-guided needling in the management of pain and calcification is lacking.

Inhibition of DNA‑PK by gefitinib causes synergism between gefitinib and cisplatin in NSCLC.

Lung cancer has the highest incidence and mortality rates among the malignant tumor types worldwide. Platinum‑based chemotherapy is the main treatment for advanced non‑small‑cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and epidermal growth factor receptor‑tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR‑TKIs) have greatly improved the survival of patients with EGFR‑sensitive mutations. However, there is no standard therapy for treating patients who are EGFR‑TKI resistant.

PARK2 Suppresses Proliferation and Tumorigenicity in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.

mutation is originally associated with the progression of Parkinson's disease. In recent years, has been reported as a tumor suppressor gene in various cancers, including lung cancer. However, the biological functions and potential molecular mechanisms of PARK2 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are still unclear.

PARK2 inhibits osteosarcoma cell growth through the JAK2/STAT3/VEGF signaling pathway.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumor mainly occurring in children and adolescents. In past decades, studies revealed that PARK2 was a vital tumor suppressor gene in many malignant solid tumors. However, the role of PARK2 in OS remains largely unclear.

Occupational ultraviolet exposure and risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas: a meta-analysis.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a heterogeneous group of lympho-proliferative disorders. We performed a meta-analysis to summarize the available evidence from case-control studies and cohort study on the inconsistent association between occupational sun exposure and the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. We searched PubMed, ISI web of science, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE and reference lists for relevant articles.

Meta-analysis of Soy Consumption and Gastrointestinal Cancer Risk.

Soy consumption has received considerable attention for its potential role in reducing cancer incidence and mortality. However, its effects on gastrointestinal (GI) cancer are controversial. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the association between soy consumption and gastrointestinal cancer risk by searching for prospective studies in PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE and the reference lists of the included articles.

Epidermal growth factor receptor gene mutations in patients with lung adenocarcinoma differ by frequency and type between Uighur and Han ethnic groups in Xinjiang Autonomous Region.

Background: This study was designed to investigate epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation types affecting lung cancer treatment in patients in Xinjiang, China. We detected and analyzed differences in the EGFR mutation points of Uighur and Han patients with lung adenocarcinoma. We examined 181 specimens of lung adenocarcinoma tissue embedded with paraffin (76 Uighur and 105 Han patients) for mutations in the EGFR gene in exon 18-21 by the amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) method.
