In a randomized controlled study of chemotherapy (CDDP 100 mg/m2 day 1, VDS 3 mg/m2 day 1, 8, 15) vs. immuno-chemotherapy combined with PSK 3 g/day for adenocarcinoma of the lung (stage III, IV, p. s. 0, 1, 2), response rate for 169 cases with completed extramural review was 14.2%. As for the response rates for 138 complete cases, the chemotherapy group showed 17.9%, and the immuno-chemotherapy group was 16.9%. MST were 330 days and 331 days, respectively. In stage III cases, the response rates were 11.1% in the chemotherapy group and 37.5% in the immuno-chemotherapy group (p = 0.046). MST were 457 days (65.3 weeks) and 576 days (82.3 weeks), respectively. In terms of survival curve, it was suggested that the immuno-chemotherapy group was superior to the chemotherapy group (logrank test p = 0.075), but in stage IV cases, there was nothing outstanding in the immunochemotherapy group.

State Key Laboratory of Swine and Poultry Breeding Industry, College of Animal Science and Technology, Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu, P. R. China.

Copper exposure poses potential detrimental effects on both public and ecosystem health. Spermidine, an antioxidant, has shown promise in reducing oxidative stress and inflammation within the liver. However, its specific role in mitigating copper-induced hepatic cuproptosis and disturbances in copper metabolism remains unexplored.

Objective: To investigate virological response and predictive factors for antiviral treatment in chronic HBV patients with low ALT and high HBV DNA.

Methods: A retrospective study grouped chronic HBV patients by baseline ALT: ALT > 80 U/L (significantly elevated group, SAG), 40-80 U/L (mildly elevated group, MAG), and ≤ 40 U/L (normal group, NG). Inverse probability treatment weighting balanced confounding factors.

This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab combined with platinum-based chemotherapy (taxanes [T] or fluorouracil agents [F] plus platinum [P] drugs) as the first-line treatment in advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), using immune repertoire sequencing (IRS) to explore treatment response mechanism. In this multi-center, prospective cohort study, 88 patients received camrelizumab plus TP or FP, achieving a 1-year progression-free survival of 56.8% and overall survival of 68.

Background: The gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in various metabolic disorders. Orlistat has shown beneficial effects on weight loss and metabolism, but its direct impact on the gut microbiota has not been extensively reported. Thus, this study aimed to explore the effects of orlistat on the gut microbiota in mice with high-fat diet-induced obesity.
