AI Article Synopsis

  • Baseline assessment and regular monitoring using patient history, clinical exams, lab tests, and noninvasive imaging can help detect side effects from immune checkpoint inhibitors early.
  • The text highlights various cardiotoxic effects linked to immune checkpoint inhibitors, including conditions like pericarditis and myocarditis.
  • A case study is presented of a middle-aged man with advanced esophageal cancer who experienced acute heart failure due to nivolumab-induced cardiotoxicity, despite having no prior heart issues or significant risk factors.

Article Abstract

Key Clinical Message: Baseline assessment and interval monitoring with a careful history, clinical examination, laboratory work-up, and noninvasive imaging modalities may be beneficial for early detection of immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated side effects.

Abstract: Previous reports of immune checkpoint inhibitors' cardiotoxic effects include pericarditis, myocarditis, myocardial infarction, ventricular dysfunction, vasculitis, and electrical abnormalities. The authors report a case of acute heart failure caused by nivolumab-induced cardiotoxicity in a middle-aged man with advanced esophageal carcinoma with no previous cardiac history or significant cardiovascular risk factors.

Aims: ERCP training should adapt to the rapid development of ERCP technology and indications. China has a large population and vast land area, but ERCP training resources are insufficient. To make effective use of scarce ERCP training resources, the Standardized Training for ERCP Procedure (STEP) program was launched as a pilot trial.

Downregulation of FcRn promotes ferroptosis in herpes simplex virus-1-induced lung injury.

Cell Mol Life Sci

School of Basic Medical Sciences, Xinxiang Medical University, #601 Jinsui Road, Xinxiang, 453003, Henan, China.

Herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1) infection is associated with lung injury; however, no specific treatment is currently available. In this study, we found a significant negative correlation between FcRn levels and the severity of HSV-1-induced lung injury. HSV-1 infection increases the methylation of the FcRn promoter, which suppresses FcRn expression by upregulating DNMT3b expression.

Despite advances in cancer immunotherapy, such as targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis, a substantial number of patients harbor tumors that are resistant or relapse. Selective engagement of T-cell co-stimulatory molecules with bispecific antibodies may offer novel therapeutic options by enhancing signal 1-driven activation occurring via T-cell receptor engagement. In this study, we report the development and preclinical characterization of NI-3201, a PD-L1×CD28 bispecific antibody generated on the κλ-body platform that was designed to promote T-cell activity and antitumor function through a dual mechanism of action.
