The extent of radiation induced immune suppression was analysed in 100 patients with carcinoma of the breast. The relative changes of lymphocyte counts and stimulations by PHA and PPD were similar in patients who differed with regard to age, size of tumour and its malignancy grade or axillary node condition. Moreover, no difference in the degree of radiation induced immune suppression existed between patients who developed recurrent disease and those who remained free of disease during a follow-up period of 4 1/2 to 7 years.

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) combined with radiotherapy (RT) has improved patients survival, but also increased the risk of pulmonary adverse effects (AEs). Therefore, to explore potential drug targets for interstitial lung disease (ILD), we investigated the interaction of ICB and RT in pulmonary AEs using the disproportionality analysis and COX regression. Genome-wide association studies, transcriptome analysis, and vivo models highlighted the role of programmed death-ligand-1 (PD-L1) in ILD.

Background And Purpose: The normal tissue sparing afforded by FLASH radiotherapy is being intensely investigated for potential clinical translation. Here, we studied the effects of FLASH proton radiotherapy (F-PRT) in the reirradiation setting, with or without hypofractionation. Chronic toxicities in three murine models of normal tissue toxicity including the intestine, skin, and bone were investigated.

Background And Purpose: The SOFT (Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy of infra-diaphragmatic sOFT tissue metastases) trial assesses the safety and efficacy of risk-adapted MR-guided stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) of infra-diaphragmatic soft tissue metastasis in patients with oligometastatic disease (OMD) (clinicaltrials.gov ID NCT04407897). This paper reports the one-year efficacy analysis and evaluates associations between local control (LC) and clinical and dosimetric parameters.

Introduction: Developing strategies to improve the therapeutic efficacy of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) in autoimmune diseases have garnered increased attention.

Objectives: To evaluate whether rapamycin-induced autophagy within the systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) inflammatory microenvironment (Rapa-SLE) augments the therapeutic effects of MSC-derived EVs in SLE.

Methods: The therapeutic potential of the resulting EVs (Rapa-SLE-EV) was assessed in MRL/lpr mice.

High-oleic peanuts are increasingly valued in agricultural production and consumer markets. Nevertheless, limited genomic information hinders the integration of genetic analyses and modern breeding strategies. This study details a chromosome-level genome assembly of Kaixuan 016, a high-oleic peanut variety developed through gamma-radiation-assisted breeding, exhibiting enhanced agronomic traits.
