Article Synopsis
  • Qingshen granule (QSG) has anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory properties that can help alleviate renal damage caused by renal fibrosis (RF), particularly by affecting dendritic cells (DCs).
  • The study used adenine-induced RF animal models to assess how QSG influences immune cell differentiation and function, alongside examining its metabolic effects on glucose and lipid processes in DCs and T cells.
  • Results showed that QSG reduced kidney damage, lowered proinflammatory cytokines, altered DC markers, and impacted metabolic gene expression, ultimately promoting DC maturation while inhibiting their migratory ability and antigen presentation to T cells.

Objective: This study was designed to analyze the effects of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) status on the prognosis of male breast cancer (MBC).

Methods: The SEER database was used to identify MBC patients diagnosed between 2010 and 2015. Patients were divided into HER2-negative and HER2-positive groups and chi-square test was used to compare the demographics.

We conducted a meta-analysis to estimate the impact of different clinical and molecular characteristics on the efficacy of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) or programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors. PubMed and Web of Science were searched for related trials. Eleven eligible studies, comprising 5,663 patients, were included in this meta-analysis.

The value of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) combination therapy for patients with lung cancer remains unclear. We conducted a meta-analysis using PubMed, Embase, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases to identify eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that might provide a reference for clinical practice.

Background: Anopheles sinensis is an important malaria vector in Southeast Asia. The widespread emergence of insecticide resistance in this mosquito species poses a serious threat to the efficacy of malaria control measures, particularly in China. Recently, the whole-genome sequencing and de novo assembly of An.
