The immunologic structure and function of the parapharyngeal lymphoid tissue are presented. The antigen-processing activities of the tonsils are compared to those of the adenoids and other mucosal-associated lymphoid tissues. Both immunoglobin synthesis and secretion as well as T-lymphocyte activities are described.

CD19-CAR T-cell therapy induces deep tissue depletion of B cells.

Objectives: CD19-targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy can induce long-term drug-free remission in patients with autoimmune diseases (AIDs). The efficacy of CD19-CAR T-cell therapy is presumably based on deep tissue depletion of B cells; however, such effect has not been proven in humans in vivo.
Methods: Sequential ultrasound-guided inguinal lymph node biopsies were performed at baseline and after CD19-CAR T-cell therapy in patients with AIDs.
The Added Effect of Artificial Intelligence in CT Assessment of Abdominal Lymphadenopathy.
Lymphology

Medical Biophysics Department, Medical Research Institute, Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt.
Lymphadenopathy is associated with lymph node abnormal size or consistency due to many causes. We employed the deep convolutional neural network ResNet-34 to detect and classify CT images from patients with abdominal lymphadenopathy and healthy controls. We created a single database containing 1400 source CT images for patients with abdominal lymphadenopathy (n = 700) and healthy controls (n = 700).

Objective: This study aimed to develop a simple machine-learning model incorporating lymph node metastasis status with F-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) and clinical information for predicting regional lymph node metastasis in patients with colon cancer.
Methods: This retrospective study included 193 patients diagnosed with colon cancer between January 2014 and December 2017. All patients underwent F-18 FDG PET/CT and blood test before surgery.
Predictive factors for axillary pathological complete response to neoadjuvant therapy in elderly breast cancer patients.

January 2025
Department of Breast, Sichuan Clinical Research Center for Cancer, Sichuan Cancer Hospital & Institute,Sichuan Cancer Center, Affiliated Cancer Hospital of University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, China.
Purpose: This study explores the predictive factors for axillary pathological complete response(apCR) during neoadjuvant therapy(NAT) for elderly breast cancer patients to supplement the indications for retaining the axilla.
Methods: Comprehensive clinical information was gathered from November 2016 to July 2023 from elderly patients with pathology-confirmed invasive breast cancer who underwent NAT and surgery in the Breast Department of Sichuan Cancer Hospital. The relationships between clinicopathological characteristics and apCR were investigated via retrospective analysis.
