Abstract Background Neoadjuvant programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitors have drawn increasing attention in locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In this study, we investigated the safety efficacy of gemcitabine cisplatin (GP), combined with a PD-1 inhibitor, patients HNSCC. Materials methods A total 23 eligible were administered two cycles toripalimab GP followed by surgical resection. The primary endpoints safety, treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs),...

Abstract Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation requires access to the left atrium (LA) via transseptal puncture (TP). TP is traditionally performed with fluoroscopic guidance. Use of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) and three‐dimensional mapping allows for zero fluoroscopy TP. Objective To demonstrate safety efficacy using multiple procedural approaches. Methods Patients undergoing AF between January 2015 November 2017 at five institutions were included. ICE used sheath...

To better understand the Ca2+ overload mechanism of SDT killing gliomas, we examined hypothesis that early application mechanosensitive channel Piezo1 antagonist (GsMTx4) could have a anti-tumor effect.The in vitro effect low-energy combined with GsMTx4 or agonist Yoda 1 on both ROS-induced distribution as well opening and dissociation polymerization lipid complex were assessed. The same groups also studied to determine their effects tumor-bearing BALB/c-nude C57BL/6 intracranial tumors,...

Introduction Previous studies have reported a close relationship between cancer and microbes, particularly gut tumor microbiota; however, the presence of microbiome in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) its role prognosis NPC remain unclear. Methods We collected 64 samples including tissues from 50 patients with (NPC group) 14 chronic nasopharyngitis (control receiver operating characteristics we applied 16S ribosome RNA gene sequencing all to assess profiles immunohistochemistry detect NPC....

ABSTRACT Midnolin (MIDN) is a protein coding gene that promotes the destruction of transcription factors encoded by immediate‐early genes. Previous research has found those genes are involved in tumour progression. However, role MIDN still not clearly identified human cancers. With help TCGA, GTEx, and HPA databases, we revealed expression was disordered potential prognostic biomarker liver cancer bladder cancer. Prognostic analysis indicates level gains survival benefits or progression...

Abstract Radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis (RTOM) is a common side effect of radiotherapy in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC) receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). In this phase 3 trial, we aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety Ulinastatin (UTI) for prevention treatment RTOM LA-NPC patients (NCT03387774). The primary endpoint incidence grade ≥3 acute during radiotherapy. Secondary endpoints include cumulative RTOM, recovery rate, onset time duration pain...

Although pathological complete response (pCR) and major (MPR) rates of neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy in head neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) trials remain suboptimal, emerging evidence highlights the synergistic potential combining low-dose radiotherapy to promote efficacy immunotherapy. This phase II, open-label, single-arm, multicenter trial (NCT05343325) enrolled 28 patients untreated stage III-IVB HNSCC (NeoRTPC02). Patients received radiotherapy, programmed...

Background: Despite multimodality therapies, the prognosis of patients with malignant brain tumors remains extremely poor. One major obstacles that hinders development effective therapies is limited availability clinically relevant and biologically accurate (CRBA) mouse models. Methods: We have developed a freehand surgical technique allows for rapid safe injection fresh human tumor specimens directly into matching locations (cerebrum, cerebellum, or brainstem) in brains SCID mice. Results:...

ZnO nanocrystalline films are prepared on Si substrates at different temperatures by using metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD). It is observed that when the growth temperature low, stoichiometric ratio between Zn and O atoms has a large deviation from ideal of 1:1. The grains in film have small sizes not well crystallized, resulting poor photoluminescence (PL) property. When increased to an appropriate value, Zn/O becomes optimized, most combined into Zn—O bonds. Then good...
