Background: The expansion of preoperative immunochemotherapy has led to an increase in the number of patients with lung cancer receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Therefore, oncologists should manage a variety of immune-related adverse events (irAEs). One of the rare, life-threatening, and recently proposed irAEs is cytokine release syndrome (CRS).

However, resistance to ALK-inhibitors and the control of metastases in the central nervous system (CNS) remain to be a challenge in the management of ALK-positive lung cancer.
Case: We present the case of a 23-year-old man who developed multiple brain metastases while receiving alectinib treatment for ALK-positive lung cancer.
Background: The association between the development of checkpoint inhibitor pneumonitis (CIP) with tumor response and survival has remained unclear so far. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between CIP and the clinical efficacy of anti-programmed cell death-1 antibody in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: Between January 2016 and August 2019, 203 advanced NSCLC patients were administered with nivolumab or pembrolizumab.
An 80s male, with a medical history of hypertension, hyperuricemia, and atrial fibrillation, visited our emergency outpatient department with vomiting and diarrhea as the chief complaint in August 2017. The blood examination revealed a high level of inflammatory reaction. The plain abdominal CT revealed fluid retention contacting the small intestine and intraabdominal free gas.

- Photoautotrophic microalgae, like Chlorella, are being studied for their potential as alternative fuel sources and materials to combat global warming.
- Challenges in scaling up production systems and ensuring economic viability are hindering practical applications.
- Research indicates that Chlorella can efficiently grow and photosynthesize on both liquid and solid surfaces, with notable resilience to varying environmental conditions, which could enhance mass culture methods.
