Tislelizumab-related enteritis successfully treated with adalimumab: A case report.

BACKGROUND: With programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors becoming the standard treatment for lung cancer, PD-1-related adverse reactions and treatment have gradually become prominent. CASE SUMMARY: First reported case of tislelizumab-related enteritis successfully treated with adalimumab 40mg every 2 wk for 3 times in an advanced lung cancer patient who received first-line tislelizumab/pemetrexed/carboplatin for 4 cycles. The patient continued receiving the treatment of pemetrexed/carboplatin after symptoms, abdominal computed tomography and colonoscopy improved, significant diarrhea was not occurred. CONCLUSION: Adalimumab can be an effective treatment option for patients with PD-1 antibody related enteritis if they do not respond well to glucocorticoid treatment.

Research Advances in Tissue Engineering Materials for Sustained Release of Growth Factors.

Growth factors are a class of cytokines that stimulate cell growth and are widely used in clinical practice, such as wound healing, revascularization, bone repair, and nervous system disease. However, free growth factors have a short half-life and are instable in vivo. Therefore, the search of excellent carriers to enhance sustained release of growth factors in vivo has become an area of intense research interest. The development of controlled-release systems that protect the recombinant growth factors from enzymatic degradation and provide sustained delivery at the injury site during healing should enhance the growth factor's application in tissue regeneration. Thus, this study reviews current research on commonly used carriers for sustained release of growth factors and their sustained release effects for preservation of their bioactivity and their accomplishment in tissue engineering approaches.
