Objective: To determine the predictors of residual disease of high-grade lesion (HGL) and microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix (MICA) in subsequent hysterectomy following conization.
Material And Method: The medical records of women who underwent any conizations diagnosed of HGL and MICA and followed by subsequent hysterectomy within 6 months were retrospectively reviewed. A case and control was defined as whether or not a residual disease of HGL or more was detected in cervical tissue from hysterectomy after conization. Demographic characteristics and pathological features of cases and controls were recorded independently and blindly. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used. The Receiver Operating Characteristics curve of predictors was created using the fitting value obtained from a logistic regression model.
Results: A total of 185 women were diagnosed during January 1, 1997 and July 31, 2008 including 102 women without a residual disease and 83 with residual disease at cervical tissue from hysterectomy. The multivariate analysis showed that postmenopausal status (OR = 3.5, 95% CI = 1.8-6.7), number of quadrant involvement (OR = 3.8, 95% CI = 1.8-8.3), internal margin involvement (OR = 3.8, 95% CI = 1.7-8.2), severe nuclear atypia (OR = 2.0, 95% CI = 1.1-3.8) and high mitotic activity (OR = 2.1, 95% CI = 1.1-3.7) were the predictors of residual disease in hysterectomy specimens after conization. Three or more predictors involved predicted the detection of residual disease.
Conclusion: The presence of postmenopause, three or four quadrants involved, positive internal margin, severe nuclear atypia and high mitotic activity could be used to predict residual lesions after conization.

To explore whether ultra-sensitive circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) profiling enables early prediction of treatment response and early detection of disease progression, we applied NeXT Personal, an ultra-sensitive bespoke tumor-informed liquid biopsy platform, to profile tumor samples from the KeyLargo study, a phase II trial in which metastatic esophagogastric cancer (mEGC) patients received capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and pembrolizumab. All 25 patients evaluated were ctDNA-positive at baseline. Minimal residual disease (MRD) events varied from 406,067 down to 1.

Using clinical B-ALL samples and a novel mouse model, we show that neoantigen-specific CD4+ T cells are induced to adopt type-1 regulatory (Tr1) function in the leukemia microenvironment. Tr1s then inhibit cytotoxic CD8+ T cells, preventing effective leukemia clearance.

Background: Clinical studies have demonstrated the high efficacy of using chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) and orphan G protein-coupled receptor, class C group 5 member D (GPRC5D) to treat relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). In this study, we compared the efficacy and safety of BCMA CAR-T-cell therapy (BCMA CAR-T) and GPRC5D CAR T-cell therapy (GPRC5D CAR-T) in patients with RRMM.
Methods: We retrieved and included eligible clinical trials of BCMA or GPRC5D CAR-T for RRMM patients.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is widely recognized as a powerful analytical technique, offering molecular identification by amplifying characteristic vibrational signals, even at the single-molecule level. While SERS has been successfully applied for a wide range of targets including pesticides, dyes, bacteria, and pharmaceuticals, it has struggled with the detection of molecules with inherently low Raman scattering cross-sections. Urea, a key nitrogen-containing biomolecule and the diamide of carbonic acid, is a prime example of such a challenging target.

The purpose of this study was to present the surgical technique of Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic (UBE) decompression combined with percutaneous pedicle screws for the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures with secondary spinal stenosis. Thoracolumbar burst fracture is a common traumatic disease in spinal surgery. In the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen (AO) classification of thoracolumbar fractures, Type A fractures have the highest incidence, accounting for about 70%, with A1 and A3 types being the most common.
