Introduction: Primary hyperoxaluria (PH) is a rare genetic disorder of hepatic glyoxylate metabolism. Nedosiran is an RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutic that the US Food and Drug Administration has approved for treatment of PH1. PHYOX3 is a trial evaluating monthly nedosiran in patients with PH.
Methods: In this PHYOX3 interim analysis, participants with PH1 who continued from a single-dose nedosiran trial (PHYOX1), with no previous kidney or liver transplantation, dialysis, or evidence of systemic oxalosis were eligible. The safety and efficacy of once-monthly nedosiran was assessed over 30 months.
Results: Thirteen participants completed PHYOX1 and continued into PHYOX3. At baseline, the mean (SD) and median (range) age was 24.2 (6.6) years and 23.0 (14-39) years, respectively; 53.8% were female and 61.5% were White. Mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) remained stable (62-84.2 mL/min per 1.73 m) to month 30. Mean 24-hour urinary oxalate (Uox) excretion showed a sustained reduction from baseline of ≥60% at every visit (months 2-30). From month 2, at least 10 of 13 (76.9%) participants achieved normal (<0.46 mmol/24h; upper limit of assay-normal [ULN]) or near-normal (≥0.46 to <0.60 mmol/24h; ≥ULN to <1.3 × ULN) 24-hour Uox excretion. All participants experienced ≥1 adverse event (AE), mostly mild or moderate in severity (primarily, injection site events). Three serious, not treatment-related AEs were reported; there were no deaths or study discontinuations due to AEs.
Conclusion: Nedosiran was well-tolerated in patients with PH1, and treatment resulted in a sustained, substantial reduction in Uox excretion for at least 30 months in this long-term study. No safety signals have been identified to date. The PHYOX3 study is ongoing.

The immune system continuously interacts with tumors, possibly leading to systemic alterations in circulating immune cells. However, the potential of these cancer-associated changes for diagnostic purposes remains poorly explored. To investigate this, we conducted a comprehensive flow cytometric analysis of 452 peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples from 206 non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, 100 small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients, 94 healthy individuals, and 52 benign lung disease (BLD) patients.

Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction with high morbidity and mortality. Various studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Chinese tonic medicines (CTMs) in treating sepsis or septic shock. However, trials directly comparing the efficacy and safety of different CTMs for sepsis or septic shock are still lacking.

Background: There is controversy regarding the efficacy of intravenous combined topical tranexamic acid. We conducted this study to systematically assess the effectiveness of intravenous combined topical tranexamic acid (combined TXA) in spinal surgery to guide clinical practice.
Methods: The review process was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines.

Background: The increasing prevalence of lung cancer in the elderly population necessitates a closer evaluation of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. This study aimed to compare the safety and diagnostic efficacy of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) between patients ≥ 80 years and younger patients.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of 96 patients diagnosed with peripheral lung cancer who underwent TBLC between April 2021 and October 2023.

Objectives: Although total hip arthroplasty (THA) effectively alleviates pain and restores joint function in the end-stage hip disease, challenges remain in achieving precise osteotomy and minimizing subjective dependency on prosthesis positioning. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of preoperative virtual planning and navigation templates compared to conventional techniques, providing new methods to enhance the precision and personalization of THA.
Methods: During the period from 2022 to 2023, we conducted a retrospective case-control study on 74 patients who underwent THA surgery at our hospital, based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
