Potentiating CD20 monoclonal antibody therapy by targeting complement C3 fragment covalently deposited on lymphoma cells.

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) improve survival of patients with mature B-cell malignancies. Fcγ-receptor dependent effector mechanisms kill tumor cells but can promote antigen loss through trogocytosis, contributing to treatment failures. Cell-bound mAbs trigger the complement cascade to deposit C3 activation fragments and lyse cells.

Elimination of nickel ions in a packed column using clamshell waste as an adsorbent.

The present investigation assessed the viability of utilizing a powdered clam shell in continuous adsorption to eliminate nickel ions from simulated wastewater. The breakthrough curves (BTC) were analyzed by altering the Q (inlet flow rate) in a glass column (ID 5 cm, H 35 cm) with a multi-port and filled with the powdered clamshell adsorbent (PCSA). The PCSA's nickel adsorption efficiency was maximum (87.

Evaluating the Safety and Effectiveness of Regional Upper GI Bleed Services Through an Outcome-Based Analysis at a Centre in the United Kingdom.

Background The aim of this study was to compare the clinical characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients who presented with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (AUGIB) among two groups of patients who were transferred from local and district hospitals for endoscopy and subsequent management versus direct admissions to the emergency department with AUGIB to the Sheffield University Hospital NHS Trust. Methods We included 259 patients who underwent upper GI endoscopy from April 2018 to March 2022, of whom 29 were transferred and 230 were direct admissions. The analysis focused on demographics, pathological findings, time to endoscopy, blood transfusions, and hospital stay.

Salts of trans-3-Styryl Pyridine: The Effect of N-Quaternization on Solid-State Photoreactivity, and Photochemical Crystal Melting.

Investigating solid-state photoreactivity, driven by crystal packing, has been a major enduring research theme in Crystal Engineering. Trans-3-styryl pyridine (3-StPy), an unsymmetric olefin, is photo-stable. However, when converted to a series of salts, they exhibited solid-state photoreactivity under UV irradiation.
