Effectiveness of oral vancomycin as prophylaxis against infection in hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients.
Antimicrob Steward Healthc Epidemiol
August 2024
Department of Pharmacy, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, New Brunswick, NJ, USA.
Objective: Patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT) are at increased risk for infection (CDI). The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of oral vancomycin prophylaxis (OVP) for CDI in HSCT patients.
Design: Single-center, retrospective cohort.
Investigating the Role of Quercetin, an Active Ingredient in Bazhen Decoction, in Targeting CXCL8 to Inhibit Macrophage M2 Polarization and Reshape the Immunological Microenvironment of Colorectal Cancer.

Bazhen Decoction (Eight Treasures Decoction) has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC), yet the active ingredients in it and the mechanisms underlying their anti-cancer properties are not well understood. Through network pharmacology, the effective components of Bazhen Decoction against CRC and their corresponding key genes were delineated. Molecular docking was executed to identify the active component targeting the key gene CXCL8, which led to the discovery of Quercetin.

Background: Natalizumab (NAT) is an established disease-modifying therapy (DMT) for highly active multiple sclerosis (MS). However, its use involves complex decision-making, often leading to initial use of lower efficacy therapies. Recently, the first biosimilar NAT was approved, enabling competitive pricing.

Department of Surgery, University of California, San Francisco.
Importance: Intratumoral immunotherapy that leverages the biological characteristics of high-risk ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) may be able to reduce the extent of surgical treatment and provide an alternative approach to improve patient outcomes.
Objective: To determine if combination intratumoral immunotherapy can activate immune cells to shrink or eliminate high-risk DCIS.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This phase 1 open-label nonrandomized clinical trial at a single academic center tested the safety and efficacy of intratumoral immunotherapy in patients with high-risk DCIS, defined as at least 2 of the following present: younger than 45 years, tumor size greater than 5 cm, high-grade, palpable mass, hormone receptor (HR)-negative, or ERBB2-positive.
A phase I/II study of adoptive immunotherapy using donor liver graft-derived NK cell-enriched immune cells to prevent severe infection after liver transplantation.

Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are significant postoperative complications associated with high mortality rates after liver transplantation (LT). Natural killer (NK) cells, which are key components of the innate immune system, have demonstrated potential to combat both infections and cancer. The use of activated NK cells to mitigate post-LT infections, particularly BSIs, has attracted considerable interest.
