Modified CD15/CD16-CLL1 inhibitory CAR-T cells for mitigating granulocytopenia toxicities in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.

CLL1 Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy, as a promising immunotherapeutic approach, has demonstrated its potential to enhance the prognosis of patients diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, due to the overexpression of CLL1 on neutrophils, CAR-T cells not only eliminated tumor cells but also eradicated neutrophils simultaneously, resulting in severe granulocytopenia and subsequent infections. Considering the distinct expression levels of CD15/CD16 on neutrophils and AML blasts, we have devised novel modified CD15 /CD16-CLL1 iCAR structures incorporating diverse inhibitory elements.

Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analysis of tedizolid phosphate against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae in children, adolescents, and adults by Monte Carlo simulation.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the cumulative fraction of response of various dosage regimens of tedizolid phosphate against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae in children, adolescents, and adults.

Methods: Monte Carlo simulations were performed using previously published pharmacokinetic parameters and pharmacodynamic data to evaluate the efficacy of the simulated dosage strategies in terms of area under the concentration-time curve/minimum inhibitory concentration targets of tedizolid.

Results: According to the results of the Monte Carlo simulations, currently approved dosage regimens of tedizolid phosphate were effective in the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSIs) caused by methicillin-susceptible S.

LAP2α orchestrates alternative lengthening of telomeres suppression through telomeric heterochromatin regulation with HDAC1: unveiling a potential therapeutic target.

In response to the challenge of telomere attrition during DNA replication, cancer cells predominantly employ telomerase or, in 10-15% of cases, the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). The intricate details of ALT, however, remain elusive. In this study, we unveil that the knockdown of lamina-associated polypeptide 2 alpha (LAP2α) in ALT cells results in telomere dysfunction, triggering a notable increase in ALT-associated hallmarks, including high frequencies of PML bodies (APBs), C-rich extrachromosomal circles (C-circles), and telomere sister chromatid exchange (T-SCE).

Phase I Clinical Trial of CD19 CAR-T Cells Expressing CXCR5 Protein for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory B-cell Lymphoma.

Background: It is difficult for CD19 CAR-T cells to enter solid tumors, which is one reason for their poor efficacy in lymphoma treatment. The chemokine CXCL13 secreted by stro-mal cells of the lymph nodes induces the homing of B and T lymphocytes, which express its receptor CXCR5. Preclinical trials have shown that the expression of CXCR5 on CD19 CAR-T cells can increase their migration to the tumor microenvironment and enhance their antitumor function.

TTMV::RARA-positive acute promyelocytic leukemia with marrow necrosis and central nervous system involvement at disease recurrence.

Since the identification of the TTMV::RARA fusion in pediatric cases resembling acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) by Astolfi et al. in 2021, several similar cases have been reported worldwide. In this report, we present a case of relapsed APL in an adolescent patient, who exhibited the TTMV::RARA fusion gene.

Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Model for Predicting Omadacycline Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics in Healthy and Hepatic Impairment Populations.

Purpose: Omadacycline is a new broad-spectrum aminomethylcycline antibiotic. However, there have been limited pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) studies of omadacycline in patients with hepatic impairment. The aim of this study was to explore the PK/PD of omadacycline intravenous administration in healthy and hepatically impaired populations.

The knowledge, attitude and behavior of ICU nurses regarding ICU-acquired weakness: a cross-sectional survey.

Background: Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is very common in ICU patients. It is important to understand the status quo of knowledge, attitude and behavior of ICU nurses about ICU-AW. This survey aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitude and behavior of ICU nurses about ICU-AW, to provide useful implications for clinical care.

Associations of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor with toxicities and efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy in relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Few studies have reported the associations of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) with cytokine release syndrome (CRS), neurotoxic events (NEs) and efficacy after chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for relapsed or refractory (R/R) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). We present a retrospective study of 67 patients with R/R B-ALL who received anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy, 41 (61.2%) patients received G-CSF (G-CSF group), while 26 (38.

Evaluating omadacycline dosing regimens against drug-resistant pathogens including , and in adults: a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analysis using Monte Carlo simulation.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of various dosing regimens of omadacycline against main drug-resistant pathogens in the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) and community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP). Monte Carlo simulations were conducted using pharmacokinetic parameters and pharmacodynamic data to calculate cumulative fractions of response (CFRs) in terms of drug area under the concentration curve/minimum inhibition concentration targets.CFR ≥ 90% was considered optimal for a dosage regimen.

Multi-centers experience using therapeutic plasma exchange for corticosteroid/tocilizumab-refractory cytokine release syndrome following CAR-T therapy.

The chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy significantly enhances the prognosis of various hematologic malignancies; however, the systemic expansion of CAR-T cells also gives rise to severe cytokine release syndrome (CRS), and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). Despite the successful application of corticosteroids and tocilizumab in alleviating severe CRS in most patients, there are still individuals who experience life-threatening CRS without responding to the aforementioned therapies. In our retrospective cohort, we conducted an analysis of clinical and laboratory parameters, including inflammatory cytokines, in 17 patients from three centers who underwent therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) for refractory CRS with or without ICANS following CAR-T products treatment.

The novel HLA-C*12:02:52 allele, identified by Sanger dideoxy nucleotide sequencing in a Chinese individual.

HLA-C*12:02:52 differs from HLA-C*12:02:02:01 by one nucleotide in exon 1.

Zero-valent iron (nZVI) nanoparticles mediate SlERF1 expression to enhance cadmium stress tolerance in tomato.

Cadmium (Cd) pollution threatens plant physiological and biochemical activities and crop production. Significant progress has been made in characterizing how nanoparticles affect Cd stress tolerance; however, the molecular mechanism of nZVI nanoparticles in Cd stress remains largely uncharacterized. Plants treated with nZVI and exposed to Cd had increased antioxidant capacity and reduced Cd accumulation in plant tissues.

A CAR-T response prediction model for r/r B-NHL patients based on a T cell subset nomogram.

Background: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells for refractory or relapsed (r/r) B cell no-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients have shown promising clinical effectiveness. However, the factors impacting the clinical response of CAR-T therapy have not been fully elucidated. We here investigate the independent influencing factors of the efficacy of CD19 CAR-T cell infusion in the treatment of r/r B-NHL and to establish an early prediction model.

Modified EASIX scores predict severe CRS/ICANS in patients with acute myeloid leukemia following CLL1 CAR-T cell therapy.

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy targeting CLL1 has been considered a potent weapon for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of CLL1 CAR-T cell therapy in a larger cohort, with particular attention to cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). Among the 32 patients assessed for efficacy, complete remission occurred in 71.
