Targeted intra-tumoral hyperthermia using uniquely biocompatible gold nanorods induces strong immunogenic cell death in two immunogenically ‘cold’ tumor models by Barry E. Kennedy, Erin B. Noftall, Cheryl Dean, Alexander Roth, Kate N. Clark, Darren Rowles, Kulbir Singh, Len Pagliaro, Carman A. Giacomantonio, Carman A. Giacomantonio, Carman A. Giacomantonio

“…However, IL-2-induced immunosuppressive T-reg populations were also sustained to tumor endpoint suggesting that therapy could be further enhanced. Additionally, PD-1 expression, which was upregulated in CD8+ T cells by THT, was targeted with systemic PD-1 inhibition, further augmenting immune engagement within the TME.DiscussionThese combinatory treatments demonstrated synergistic effects, promoting durable anti-tumor responses and immune memory. …”

Schürch, Fernanda L. Paganelli, Rob J. L. Willems, Ilana L. B. C. Camargo

“…IncQ1 and a conjugative plasmid from <i>K. pneumoniae</i> BHKPC10 were transferred to <i>E. coli</i> J53 without fitness changes, and MIC values were maintained for carbapenems despite the low transconjugant PCN. In addition to IncQ1 with NTE_KPC, <i>Enterobacter cloacae</i> BHKPC28 contained the <i>mcr-9</i> gene in an IncHI2/IncHI2A conjugative plasmid, which may help the mobility of IncQ1 and the dissemination of two resistance determinants to last-resort antibiotics. …”

Analysis of Prognostis Factors and Effect of Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease by Yiming XU, Honghua SHEN, Jingbo DU, Lei REN

“…On the contrary, the cumulative risk of COPD patients undergoing high strength aerobic exercise intervention was lower than COPD patients undergoing middle strength aerobic exercise intervention, and the cumulative risk of COPD patients undergoing low strength aerobic exercise intervention was the most.Conclusion:The worse the pulmonary function, the higher the BODE index, and the more times of acute exacerbations, the higher the mortality rate of COPD patients. In addition, aerobic exercise can improve the survival of COPD with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease within two years. …”
