1. Antisera raised in sheep against chicken adipocyte plasma membranes recognised adipocyte, liver and red blood cell membranes in enzyme immunoassays (EIA). 2. These antisera were cytotoxic when incubated with both adipocytes and their precursors grown in culture, and with red blood cells. 3. Adsorption of antisera with liver membranes completely abolished the response to liver and red blood cell membranes in the EIA. The response in adipocytes was reduced to only about 6% of the titre present in the unadsorbed sample. 4. Adsorption of antisera with liver membranes abolished the cytotoxic response to red blood cells and to adipocyte precursors, but some response to adipocytes still remained. 5. These results are in contrast to the rat for which adipocyte specific antisera were obtained which represented about 75% of the unadsorbed titre.

Depression is a prevalent public health issue, characterized by persistent low mood, impaired concentration, and diminished motivation. Photobiomodulation (PBM), which involves the application of red or near-infrared light, modulates physiological processes by enhancing cerebral blood flow, reducing inflammation, inhibiting apoptosis, and promoting neurogenesis. PBM can be administered transcranially or through systemic approaches, offering a potentially effective intervention for depression.

Several laboratory markers derived from a complete blood count (CBC) have been proposed as potential indicators for assessing the risk of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). However, limited and conflicting evidence exists regarding this association. This study aimed to evaluate the role of CBC parameters in CVT development and their link to disease characteristics.

Background: Sepsis-associated liver injury (SALI) is a critical component of sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction with high mortality. Identifying biomarkers for risk stratification is essential. Red cell distribution width (RDW), indicating variation in red blood cell volume, has been linked to adverse outcomes in various diseases.

Department of Hematology, Japanese Red Cross Medical Center, Tokyo, JPN.
Elranatamab is an effective drug for triple-class-exposed relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (TCE-RRMM). In the pivotal study, only grade 1 or 2 immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) were reported, and the risk factors for immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome have not yet been clearly elucidated. This case report documents the first case of grade 4 ICANS in a patient treated with elranatamab, presenting alongside grade 1 cytokine release syndrome (CRS).

Chemotherapy is essential for treating tumors, including head and neck cancer (HNC). However, the toxic side effects of chemotherapeutic drugs limit their widespread use. Therefore, a targeted delivery system that can transport the drug to the pathological site while minimizing damage to healthy tissues is urgently needed.
