The development of a nurse-led preoperative anaesthesia screening tool by Delphi consensus by M B Nejthardt, P Alexandris, S Bechan, M F A Bijli, S Chetty, J M Dippenaar, M Gibbs, M Johnson, H Kluyts, R Llewellyn, M Motiang, P Mogane, P Motshabi, B Mrara, F Roodt, U Singh, S Spijkerman, E Turton, J van der Westhuizen, B Biccard

“…Without immediate access to preoperative specialist care, an appropriate interim strategy may be to ensure that only high-risk patients are seen preoperatively by a specialist. Matching human resources to the burden of disease with a nurse-administered pre-operative screening tool to identify high-risk patients who might benefit from specialist review prior to the day of surgery may be an effective strategy. …”

Glutamine deprivation confers immunotherapy resistance by inhibiting IFN-γ signaling in cancer cells by Zhiwei Yuan, Taiyan Yu, Xu Wang, Kelin Meng, Tianlai Wang, Boyu Wang, Yu Xi, Congjian Wang, Chenxi Zeng, Shaojie Hu, Yitao Tian, Hui Xiong, Qi Wang, Wenbin Zou, Xue Wang, Yi Gao, Xiangning Fu, Lequn Li

“…Given that the tumor-intrinsic response to interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is a key determinant of immunotherapy efficacy, we investigated whether and how glutamine deprivation in cancer cells affects their response to IFN-γ. By using human lung cancer cell lines, patient-derived tumor explants, and a syngeneic mouse model of lung cancer, we demonstrated that glutamine deprivation reduced the IFN-γ-driven response in cancer cells by promoting autophagy-dependent IFN-γ receptor (IFNGR1) degradation and rendering tumors resistant to anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy. …”
