Photodynamic therapy (PDT), utilizing a photosensitizer (PS) to induce tumor cell death, is an effective modality for cancer treatment. PS-peptide conjugates have recently demonstrated remarkable antitumor potential in preclinical trials. However, the limited cell membrane binding affinity and rapid systemic clearance have hindered their transition to clinical applications.

Background: Abnormal thyroid hormone levels may occur in critical illness, which may have an interactive relationship with inflammatory reaction. At present, the relationship between triiodothyronine (T3)/thyroxine (T4) ratio and inflammatory indicators and all-cause mortality of stroke survivors is still unclear.
Methods: We obtained the relevant data of the respondents from 2007 to 2012 through the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database for statistical analysis.

Objective: Accelerated ageing indexed by telomere attrition is suggested in schizophrenia spectrum- (SCZ) and bipolar disorders (BD). While inflammation may promote telomere shortening, few studies have investigated the association between telomere length (TL) and markers of immune activation and inflammation in severe mental disorders.
Methods: Leucocyte TL defined as telomere template/amount of single-copy gene template (T/S ratio), was determined in participants with SCZ ( = 301) or BD ( = 211) and a healthy control group (HC, = 378).

Drug allergy encompasses a spectrum of immunologically-mediated hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) with varying mechanisms and clinical presentations. This type of adverse drug reaction (ADR) not only affects patient quality of life, but may also lead to delayed treatment, unnecessary investigations, and increased morbidity and mortality. Given the spectrum of symptoms associated with the condition, diagnosis can be challenging.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT), a local cancer treatment using photosensitizers, has been reported to enhance antitumor immune responses by inducing immunogenic cell death. Although several studies have demonstrated the synergistic antitumor effects of PDT and immune checkpoint blockage (ICB), the detailed underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the immunological effects of PDT with talaporfin (Tal-PDT), a clinically approved photosensitizer, using bilateral tumor-bearing mouse models.
