Health and economic cost estimates of short-term total and wildfire PM2.5 exposure on work loss: using the consecutive California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) data 2015–2018 by Michael Jerrett, Yu Yu, Ying-Ying Meng, Diane Garcia-Gonzales, Mohammad Z Al-Hamdan, Miriam E Marlier, Joseph L Wilkins, Ninez Ponce

“…We calculated and applied the coefficient for the association between daily PM2.5 exposure and work loss from regression analyses to the Environmental Benefits Mapping and Analysis Program—Community Edition (BenMAP-CE) platform to assess the health and economic impacts of PM2.5 exposure on work loss due to sickness.Results We observed that each 1 µg/m3 increase in daily total PM2.5 exposure will lead to about 1 million days of work loss per year ranging from 1.1 to 1.6 million person-days, and the related economic loss was $310–390 million. …”

In vitro functional validation of anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T cells expressing lysine-specific demethylase 1 short hairpin RNA for the treatment of diffuse large B cell lymphoma by Zhi Guo, Zhi Guo, Mingxin He, Ning Liu, Yiqing Yang, Rui Sun, Jianxun Wang, Qiang Wang

“…Epigenetic modifications can regulate T cell activation, maturation and depletion; they can be applied to reduce T cell depletion, improve infiltration, and promote memory phenotype formation to reduce relapse after CAR-T cell therapy.PurposeWe propose to develop and validate in vitro the function of novel CAR-T cells for the treatment of DLBCL, which simultaneously express an anti-CD19 CAR with lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) short hairpin (sh)RNA to prevent depletion and prolong the survival of CAR-T cells.MethodsWe designed an shRNA sequence targeting LSD1 mRNA, and created a vector with the following elements: the U6 promoter driving expression of the LSD1 shRNA sequence, the EF1a promoter driving a second-generation anti-CD19 CAR sequence encoding an anti-CD19 single-chain variable fragment (FMC63), the CD8 hinge and transmembrane structural domains, the CD28 co-stimulatory structural domain, and the CD3ζ-activating structural domain. …”
