Article Synopsis
  • Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a common side effect of CAR-T cell therapy, but researchers have developed self-regulating T cells that help reduce its severity by secreting cytokine inhibitors.
  • In preclinical studies using a humanized mouse model, T cells that secrete a modified version of tocilizumab (Toci) showed less CRS-related toxicity and improved safety compared to traditional tocilizumab treatment.
  • Additionally, these Toci-secreting CAR-T cells demonstrated better antitumor effects and enhanced the presence of beneficial T-cell types in the tumor microenvironment, indicating a promising strategy for making CAR-T therapy safer and more effective.

Purpose: Fundus images are typically used as the sole training input for automated diabetic retinopathy (DR) classification. In this study, we considered several well-known DR risk factors and attempted to improve the accuracy of DR screening.

Metphods: Fusing nonimage data (e.

Background MRI, Tinel test, and rhomboid electromyography (EMG) can be used to predict whether C5 spinal nerve stumps are healthy and eligible for grafting in acute adult brachial plexus injuries, but their comparative diagnostic efficacies have not been evaluated. Purpose To compare diagnostic performances of MRI, Tinel test, and rhomboid EMG in predicting healthy C5 spinal nerve stumps that are eligible for grafting. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included consecutive adult patients with acute brachial plexus injury who underwent microreconstructions between January 2008 and December 2018.

A good diagnostic procedure avoids wasting medical resources, is easy to use, resists contamination, and provides accurate information quickly to allow for rapid follow-up therapies. We developed a novel diagnostic procedure using a "cotton-based diagnostic device" capable of real-time detection, i.e.
