Tissue-resident memory (T) T cells have emerged as key players in cancer immunosurveillance, and their presence has been linked to a favorable clinical outcome in solid cancer patients. Liver metastases exhibit a highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, however, the role and clinical impact of T cell infiltration in colorectal cancer remain elusive. The expression of several tissue residency and activation biomarkers has been investigated on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes isolated from 26 patients' colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRC liver metastases) and compared to 16 peripheral blood samples of patients with CRC liver metastases.

Subpial hemorrhage: A rare and underrecognized site of intracranial hemorrhage in neonates.

Radiol Case Rep

March 2025

From the Department of Radiology, University of Bourgogne Franche-Comté, CHRU Besançon, 3 boulevard Alexandre Fleming, Besançon 25030, France.

Subpial hemorrhage (SPH) is a rare but significant cause of neonatal seizures and respiratory distress, primarily affecting full-term infants without apparent risk factors. We report the case of a full-term newborn who presented with recurrent episodes of apnea, desaturation, and seizures shortly after birth. MRI revealed an acute hemorrhagic collection in the left temporal region, accompanied by cortical cytotoxic edema.

In the tumour microenvironment, IL-1α promotes neoangiogenesis, matrix remodelling, tumour proliferation, chemoresistance, and metastases. Highly expressed in human colorectal cancers, IL-1α is associated with poor prognosis. XB2001, a fully human monoclonal antibody neutralizing IL-1α, was evaluated for safety and preliminary efficacy with trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) and bevacizumab in metastatic colorectal cancer patients previously treated with oxaliplatin- and irinotecan-based chemotherapies.

The aim of the study was to identify distinct trajectories of perceived stress and control in athletes across a season of sports competitions and whether these trajectory memberships could be predicted by subdimensions of the emotional intelligence (EI). Latent class growth analyses were performed on a five-stage longitudinal measurement plan (to cover the entire sporting season). Four hundred fifteen athletes answered to the Brief Emotional Intelligence Scale, the Mastery Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the Attainment of Sport Achievement Goal Scale.

Targeting interleukin-6 pathways in giant cell arteritis management: A narrative review of evidence.

Autoimmun Rev

January 2025

Department of Autoimmune Diseases, Institut D'Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi I Sunyer (IDIBAPS), University of Barcelona, Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, 585, L'Eixample, 08007 Barcelona, Spain.

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a chronic inflammatory vasculitis with a significant impact on vascular and patient health. It may present with non-specific symptoms and can lead to severe complications if not managed effectively. This narrative review explores the treatment of GCA with interleukin-6 (IL-6) pathway inhibitors, focusing on key studies from selected databases published between 2018 and 2024.

Infect Dis Now

December 2024

Hospital hygiene department, Besancon University Hospital, Besancon, France; UMR 6249 Chrono-environnement, University of Bourgogne Franche Comté, Besançon, France.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to assess how effective two macroscopic quality indicators are in improving antibiotic use strategies across the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region from 2015 to 2020.
  • - Data on antibiotic prescriptions for urinary and respiratory infections were analyzed, revealing varying consumption rates among departments and a consistent increase in quality indicator scores, except for urinary infections in 2020 due to a medication shortage.
  • - The findings suggest that these quality indicators can effectively identify areas for improvement in antibiotic prescribing practices, helping general practitioners focus on community health needs without requiring detailed diagnostic information.

Background: Postextubation respiratory failure (PRF) frequently complicates weaning from mechanical ventilation and may increase morbidity/mortality. Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) alternating with high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) may prevent PRF.

Methods: Ventilated patients without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and at high-risk of PRF defined as a lung ultrasound score (LUS) ≥ 14 assessed during the spontaneous breathing trial, were included in a French-Chinese randomised controlled trial.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of combining glucocorticoids (GCs) with cyclophosphamide (CYC) for treating patients with poor-prognosis eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) compared to using GCs alone.
  • Data from a European multicenter database were analyzed, involving 209 patients and focusing on relapse rates and other related outcomes over 12 to 24 months.
  • Results indicated that adding CYC significantly reduced the risk of relapse and related complications compared to GCs alone, suggesting a beneficial role for CYC in the treatment of poor-prognosis EGPA.

Wound infections can lead to life-threatening infection and death. Antibacterial materials from biopolymers in the form of films are a promising strategy for wound dressings. Carboxylate-dialdehyde cellulose (CDAC) is a proper candidate for use as an antibacterial material due to its biocompatibility, nontoxicity, and antibacterial property.

Article Synopsis
  • PCSK9 is crucial for regulating LDL-cholesterol and certain variants, like p.Ser127Arg, lead to higher cholesterol levels and are mainly found in France, with few in South Africa and Norway due to a common ancestor effect.
  • The study analyzed 14 p.Ser127Arg carriers from eight families and compared them with other variants to understand their genetic background and health impact.
  • Results indicated that the common ancestor lived about 775 years ago, and carriers of p.Ser127Arg had significantly higher LDL-C levels, suggesting it may have a stronger effect on cholesterol levels compared to other mutations.

Article Synopsis
  • Colorectal cancer is a major health concern, ranking as the third leading cause of cancer deaths globally in 2022, and early detection through screening is crucial for improving outcomes.
  • Using bioinformatics, researchers identified new DNA methylation biomarkers (COL25A1 and METAP1D) for colorectal cancer by analyzing extensive genetic data, which was then validated through specific testing on samples from patients and healthy individuals.
  • The biomarkers showed high specificity (100%) and moderate sensitivity (49%) for detecting colorectal cancer in blood samples, suggesting their potential for noninvasive screening, though further studies are needed to confirm their practical use in clinical settings.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have shown great potential as biomarkers since they reflect the physio-pathological status of the producing cell. In the context of cytotoxicity, it has been found that exposing cells to toxicants leads to changes in protein expression and the cargo of the EVs they produce. Here, we studied large extracellular vesicles (lEVs) derived from human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1) to detect the modifications induced by cell exposure to benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P).

Protists, a crucial part of the soil food web, are increasingly acknowledged as significant influencers of nutrient cycling and plant performance in farmlands. While topographical and climatic factors are often considered to drive microbial communities on a continental scale, higher trophic levels like heterotrophic protists also rely on their food sources. In this context, bacterivores have received more attention than fungivores.
