“…Additionally, parental myopic dioptre was recorded when applicable.Results At the 12-month mark, myopia progression in patients (mean±SE: −0.40±0.05) mirrored findings from prior European DIMS studies, but with 50% of patients showing no progression. A multivariate analysis of covariance model revealed that baseline astigmatism and younger age adversely affected therapy outcomes in both SER and AL, while severe maternal myopia led to greater SER progression. …”

Serum CD4 Is Associated with the Infiltration of CD4+T Cells in the Tumor Microenvironment of Gastric Cancer by Qi You, Tianyi Fang, Xin Yin, Yimin Wang, Yongheng Yang, Lei Zhang, Yingwei Xue

“…Low CD4 level, infiltration of CD8+T cells, and high infiltration of CD4+T cells and CD19+B cells were correlated with worse overall survival in multivariate analysis. Collectively, our results provide evidence that serum CD4 is associated with the infiltration of CD4+T cells in the tumor microenvironment, which indicates the prognostic value of systemic inflammation in GC.…”

Charlson syndrome index predicted survival in pancreatic cancer patients received immunotherapy by Nan Zhang, Nan Zhang, Shiyun Chen, Yue Shi, Zhikuan Wang, Ru Jia, Guanghai Dai, Guanghai Dai

“…The median OS for the high CCI and low CCI groups were 7.82 and 44.17 months, respectively, while the median PFS were 2.40 and 6.40 months, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that high CCI was independently risk factor for both OS (HR=2.801, 95%CI: 1.433-5.472, p=0.003) and PFS (HR=2.546, 95%CI: 1.389-4.668, p=0.003).ConclusionThe CCI score serves as a significant independent predictive indicator for advanced pancreatic cancer patients received immunotherapy.…”
