Importance: Approximately 20% to 30% of patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) experience disease relapse despite definitive chemoradiotherapy. The programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) blockade camrelizumab has demonstrated considerable value in recurrent or metastatic NPC, while its role in locoregionally advanced NPC is unclear.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjuvant camrelizumab for patients with locoregionally advanced NPC.
Introduction: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a severe complication of diabetes, often leading to amputation. Hyperglycemia induced nerve and vascular damage significantly increases DFU risk. The advent of 3D printing technology presents a revolutionary concurrently address glycemic control and wound management, potentially improving patient adherence and offering a more holistic treatment strategy.

Eighteen pigs were fed six diets: a basal diet, PKC (100 or 200 g/kg), fermented PKC (FPKC; 100 or 200 g/kg), or enzymolysis PKC (EPKC; 100 g/kg). Chromium oxide was used to determine digestibility coefficients.

Patients with SCAD were categorized into mild, moderate, and severe groups by the SYNTAX score.

This study aimed to develop a method for assessing antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) associated with M2-based immunization in mice. We first established a stable cell line derived from mouse lymphoma cells (YAC-1) expressing M2 of H3N2.
