Quantitative detection of microcystin-LR in Bellamya aeruginosa by thin-layer chromatography coupled with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy based on in-situ ZIF-67/Ag NPs/Au NWs composite substrate.

As a hypertoxic natural toxin, the risk of Microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR) residues in Bellamya aeruginosa deserves more attention. Herein, employing the conventional thin-layer chromatography (TLC) technology and a novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate, a TLC-SERS chip was fabricated for the purification and quantitative detection of MC-LR in complex samples. The substrate exhibited excellent SERS performance with an enhancement factor of 6.6 × 107, a low detection limit of 2.27 × 10-9 mM for MC-LR, excellent uniformity and reproducibility, as well as a wide linear range. With the application of TLC, the MC-LR was efficiently purified and the concentration was increased to >3 times. Ultimately, recovery rates fluctuated between 93.28% and 101.66% were obtained from the TLC-SERS chip. On balance, the TLC-SERS chip has a robust capacity for achieving rapid and stable quantitative detection of MC-LR, which promises to improve the efficiency of food safety monitoring.

Berberine: Potential preventive and therapeutic strategies for human colorectal cancer.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common digestive tract tumor, with incidences continuing to rise. Although modern medicine has extended the survival time of CRC patients, its adverse effects and the financial burden cannot be ignored. CRC is a multi-step process and can be caused by the disturbance of gut microbiome and chronic inflammation's stimulation. Additionally, the presence of precancerous lesions is also a risk factor for CRC. Consequently, scientists are increasingly interested in identifying multi-target, safe, and economical herbal medicine and natural products. This paper summarizes berberine's (BBR) regulatory mechanisms in the occurrence and development of CRC. The findings indicate that BBR regulates gut microbiome homeostasis and controls mucosal inflammation to prevent CRC. In the CRC stage, BBR inhibits cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis, blocks the cell cycle, induces cell apoptosis, regulates cell metabolism, inhibits angiogenesis, and enhances chemosensitivity. BBR plays a role in the overall management of CRC. Therefore, using BBR as an adjunct to CRC prevention and treatment could become a future trend in oncology.

TRIM58 downregulation maintains stemness via MYH9-GRK3-YAP axis activation in triple-negative breast cancer stem cells.

TRIM58 is a member of the TRIM protein family, which possess with E3 ubiquitin ligase activities. Studies have revealed that low expression of TRIM58 plays key roles, has been implicated in the tumor progression of tumor formation due to its reduced expression. However, its role in regulating the stemness of breast cancer stem cells (CSCs) remains unexplored. Here, we found that TRIM58 was underexpressed in TNBC tissues and cells compared to adjacent mucosa tissue, and its downregulation was significantly associated with shorter survival. Overexpression of TRIM58 reduced the proportion of CD44 + /CD24- cells, upregulated differentiation genes, and inhibited stemness-related gene expression in TNBC CSCs. In vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that TRIM58 overexpression in CSCs suppressed tumor sphere formation and tumorigenic capacity. Co-IP results indicated direct interaction between TRIM58 and MYH9, with TRIM58 inducing MYH9 degradation via ubiquitination in differentiated cells. Label-free quantitative proteomics identified GRK3 and Hippo-YAP as downstream targets and signaling pathways of MYH9. TIMER database analysis, immunohistochemistry, western blotting, DNA-protein pulldown experiments, and dual luciferase reporter assays demonstrated that MYH9 regulated GRK3 transcriptional activation in CSCs. In conclusion, elevated TRIM58 expression in CSCs downregulates MYH9 protein levels by promoting ubiquitin-mediated degradation, thereby inhibiting downstream GRK3 transcription, inactivating the YAP stemness pathway, and ultimately promoting CSC differentiation.

On the modification of plant proteins: Traditional methods and the Hofmeister effect.

With increasing consumer health awareness and demand from some vegans, plant proteins have received a lot of attention. Plant proteins have many advantages over animal proteins. However, the application of plant proteins is limited by a number of factors and there is a need to improve their functional properties to enable a wider range of applications. This paper describes the advantages and disadvantages of traditional methods of modifying plant proteins and the appropriate timing for their use, and collates and describes a method with fewer applications in the food industry: the Hofmeister effect. It is extremely simple but efficient in some respects compared to traditional methods. The paper provides theoretical guidance for the further development of plant protein-based food products and a reference value basis for improving the functional properties of proteins to enhance their applications in the food industry, pharmaceuticals and other fields.

Early bedside detection of pulmonary perfusion defect by electrical impedance tomography after pulmonary endarterectomy.

Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the standard treatment for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. However, it poses risks of perioperative vascular complications, which can lead to serious clinical outcomes. This study introduces a novel noninvasive and radiation-free clinical imaging tool, electrical impedance tomography (EIT), for real-time bedside assessment of lung perfusion after PEA. It identifies ventilation-perfusion mismatches arising from postoperative complications, particularly valuable for patients with hemodynamic instability, thus eliminating risks tied to CT room transfers. The article reports a case where EIT was used to identify an in-situ thrombosis post-PEA, marking the first such application. The emphasis is on early detection using EIT, which offers a promising approach for therapeutic interventions and improved postoperative evaluations.

Food-packaging applications and mechanism of polysaccharides and polyphenols in multicomponent protein complex system: A review.

With the increasingly mature research on protein-based multi-component systems at home and abroad, the current research on protein-based functional systems has also become a hot spot and focus in recent years. In the functional system, the types of functional factors and their interactions with other components are usually considered to be the subjective factors of the functional strength of the system. Because this process is accompanied by the transfer of protons and electrons in the system, it has antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Polyphenols and polysaccharides have the advantages of wide source, excellent functionality and good compatibility with proteins, and have become excellent and representative functional factors. However, polyphenols and polysaccharides are usually accompanied by poor stability, poor solubility and low bioavailability when used as functional factors. Therefore, the effect of separate release and delivery will inevitably lead to non-significant or direct degradation. After forming a multi-component composite system with the protein, the functional factor will form a stable system driven by hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic forces and electrostatic forces between the functional factor and the protein. When used as a delivery system, it will protect the functional factor, and when released, through the specific recognition of the cell membrane receptor signal, the effect of fixed-point delivery is achieved. In addition, this multi-component composite system can also form a functional composite film by other means, which has a long-term significance for prolonging the shelf life of food and carrying out specific antibacterial.

Harnessing Graphdiyne for Selective Cu2+ Detection: A Promising Tool for Parkinson's Disease Diagnostics and Pathogenesis.

Cu2+ accelerates the viral-like propagation of α-synuclein fibrils and plays a key role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Therefore, the accurate detection of Cu2+ is essential for the diagnosis of PD and other neurological diseases. The Cu2+ detection process is impeded by substances that have similar electrochemical properties. In this study, graphdiyne (GDY), a new kind of carbon allotrope with strong electron-donating ability, was utilized for the highly selective detection of Cu2+ by taking advantage of its outstanding adsorption capacity for Cu2+. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that Cu atoms are adsorbed in the cavity of GDY, and the absorption energy between Cu and C atoms is higher than that of graphene (GR), indicating that the cavity of GDY is favorable for the adsorption of Cu atoms and electrochemical sensing. The GDY-based electrochemical sensor can effectively avoid the interference of amino acids, metal ions and neurotransmitters and has a high sensitivity of 9.77 µA·µM-1·cm-2, with a minimum detectable concentration of 200 nM. During the investigating pathogenesis and therapeutic process of PD with α-synuclein as the diagnostic standard, the concentration of Cu2+ in cells before and after L-DOPA and GSH treatments were examined, and it was found that Cu2+ exhibits high potential as a biomarker for PD. This study not only harnesses the favorable adsorption of the GDY and Cu2+ to improve the specificity of ion detection but also provide clues for deeper understanding of the role of Cu2+ in neurobiology and neurological diseases.

Mild-Temperature Supercritical Water Confined in Hydrophobic Metal-Organic Frameworks.

Fluids under extreme confinement show characteristics significantly different from those of their bulk counterpart. This work focuses on water confined within the complex cavities of highly hydrophobic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) at high pressures. A combination of high-pressure intrusion-extrusion experiments with molecular dynamic simulations and synchrotron data reveals that supercritical transition for MOF-confined water takes place at a much lower temperature than in bulk water, ∼250 K below the reference values. This large shifting of the critical temperature (Tc) is attributed to the very large density of confined water vapor in the peculiar geometry and chemistry of the cavities of Cu2tebpz (tebpz = 3,3',5,5'-tetraethyl-4,4'-bipyrazolate) hydrophobic MOF. This is the first time the shift of Tc is investigated for water confined within highly hydrophobic nanoporous materials, which explains why such a large reduction of the critical temperature was never reported before, neither experimentally nor computationally.

Epidemiological patterns of chronic kidney disease attributed to type 2 diabetes from 1990-2019.

Background: This study investigates the burden of chronic kidney disease attributed to type 2 diabetes (CKD-T2D) across different geographical locations and time periods from 1990 to 2019. A total of 204 countries and regions are included in the analysis, with consideration given to their socio-demographic indexes (SDI). The aim is to examine both spatial and temporal variations in CKD-T2D burden. Methods: This research utilized data from the 2019 Global Burden of Diseases Study to evaluate the age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR), Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs), and Estimated Annual Percentage Change (EAPC) associated with CKD-T2D. Results: Since 1990, there has been a noticeable increase of CKD age-standardized rates due to T2D, with an EAPCs of 0.65 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.63 to 0.66) for ASIR and an EAPC of 0.92 (95% CI: 0.8 to 1.05) for age-standardized DALYs rate. Among these regions, Andean Latin America showed a significant increase in CKD-T2D incidence [EAPC: 2.23 (95% CI: 2.11 to 2.34) and North America showed a significant increase in CKD-T2D DALYs [EAPC: 2.73 (95% CI: 2.39 to 3.07)]. The burden was higher in male and increased across all age groups, peaking at 60-79 years. Furthermore, there was a clear correlation between SDI and age-standardized rates, with regions categorized as middle SDI and High SDI experiencing a significant rise in burden. Conclusion: The global burden of CKD-T2D has significantly risen since 1990, especially among males aged 60-79 years and in regions with middle SDI. It is imperative to implement strategic interventions to effectively address this escalating health challenge.

Tunable and Reversible Adhesive of Liquid Metal Ferrofluid Pillars for Magnetically Actuated Noncontact Transfer Printing.

Transfer printing techniques based on tunable and reversible adhesives enable the heterogeneous integration of materials in desired layouts and are essential for developing both existing and envisioned electronic systems. Here, a novel tunable and reversible adhesive of liquid metal ferrofluid pillars for developing an efficient magnetically actuated noncontact transfer printing is reported. The liquid metal ferrofluid pillars offer the appealing advantages of gentle contact force by minimizing the preload effect and exceptional shape adaptability by maximizing the interfacial contact area due to their inherent fluidity, thus enabling a reliable damage-free pickup. Moreover, the liquid metal ferrofluid pillars harness the rapid stiffness increase and shape change with the magnetic field, generating an instantaneous ejection force to achieve a receiver-independent noncontact printing. Demonstrations of the adhesive of liquid metal ferrofluid pillars in transfer printing of diverse objects with different shapes, materials and dimensions onto various substrates illustrate its great potential in deterministic assembly.

Visualization of Microcirculation at Acupoints in vivo of Alzheimer's Disease Animal Model with Photoacoustic Microscope: A Pilot Study.

Background: Alzheimer's disease may be effectively treated with acupoint-based acupuncture, which is acknowledged globally. However, more research is needed to understand the alterations in acupoints that occur throughout the illness and acupuncture treatment. Objective: This research investigated the differences in acupoint microcirculation between normal mice and AD animals in vivo. This research also examined how acupuncture affected AD animal models and acupoint microcirculation. Methods: 6-month-old SAMP8 mice were divided into two groups: the AD group and the acupuncture group. Additionally, SAMR1 mice of the same month were included as the normal group. The study involved subjecting a group of mice to 28 consecutive days of acupuncture at the ST36 (Zusanli) and CV12 (Zhongwan) acupoints. Following this treatment, the Morris water maze test was conducted to assess the mice's learning and memory abilities; the acoustic-resolution photoacoustic microscope (AR-PAM) imaging system was utilized to observe the microcirculation in CV12 acupoint region and head-specific region of each group of mice. Results: In comparison to the control group, the mice in the AD group exhibited a considerable decline in their learning and memory capabilities (p < 0.01). In comparison to the control group, the vascular in the CV12 region and head-specific region in mice from the AD group exhibited a considerable reduction in length, distance, and diameter r (p < 0.01). The implementation of acupuncture treatment had the potential to enhance the aforementioned condition to a certain degree. Conclusions: These findings offered tangible visual evidence that supports the ongoing investigation into the underlying mechanisms of acupuncture's therapeutic effects.

Dynamic changes in body composition during XELOX/SOX chemotherapy in patients with gastric cancer.

Objectives: In this study, we compared the dynamic changes in body composition during XELOX/SOX chemotherapy in patients with gastric cancer. Furthermore, we investigated the potential impact of these changes on the occurrence of toxic side effects. Methods: Patients with gastric cancer who received adjuvant or first-line XELOX/SOX chemotherapy between January 2020 and June 2023 were enrolled. The Brief Conghua Scale was used to assess energy intake, and nutritional management was carried out with reference to the Chinese Guidelines for Nutritional Therapy of Cancer 2020. The NRS 2002 Nutritional Risk Screening Scale, PG-SGA scale, bioelectrical impedance analysis, and dynamic changes in lumbar 3 vertebral skeletal muscle index were compared between baseline and post-chemotherapy in the study. The neutropenia was evaluated using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events V.5.0, developed by the National Institutes of Health. Results: Dynamic follow-up was completed in 39 cases, with a mean follow-up time of 117.62 ± 43.38 days. The incidence of sarcopenia increased significantly after chemotherapy, escalating from 46.2% to 51.3%. After chemotherapy, the mean L3SMI decreased from 36.00 cm2/m2 to 34.99 cm2/m2. Furthermore, when compared to pre-chemotherapy values, the body composition indexes body mass index (BMI), SL3, fat mass free index (FFMI), lean body mass (LBM), and body surface area (BSA) were significantly reduced after chemotherapy. Regardless of baseline or post-chemotherapy status, the incidence of grade ≥ 3 neutropenia was significantly higher in the sarcopenia group than in the non-sarcopenia group. Furthermore, when the skeletal muscle index decreased during chemotherapy, the incidence of grade ≥ 3 neutropenia was significantly higher in both the sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia groups compared to baseline. When the incidence of grade ≥ 3 neutropenia in the post-chemotherapy sarcopenia group was compared to baseline status, the increase was significantly higher in the sarcopenia group than in the maintenance/increase group. Conclusions: Skeletal muscle mass decreased progressively during XELOX/SOX chemotherapy in gastric cancer patients, followed by a higher incidence of grade ≥ 3 neutropenia.

Two-dimensional molybdenum boride coordinating with ruthenium nanoparticles to boost hydrogen generation from hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane.

The coordination between carrier and active metal is critical to the catalytic efficiency of ammonia borane (AB) hydrolysis reaction. In the present study, we report a new type of catalytic support based on molybdenum boride (MBene) MoAl1-xB and demonstrate that the effective combination of MoAl1-xB with Ru nanoparticles can realize the significantly enhanced performance for hydrogen generation. Owing to the efficient activation and dissociation of reactants, the optimal Ru/MoAl1-xB catalyst achieves the large turnover frequency of 494 molH2 molRu-1 min-1, high hydrogen generation rate of 119817 mL min-1 gRu-1 and favorable apparent activation energy of 39.2 kJ mol-1 for the catalytic hydrolysis of AB under alkaline-free condition. The isotopic test suggests the cleavage of OH bond in H2O is the rate-determining step for hydrolysis reaction, while the fracture of B-H bond in AB is also well revealed by attenuated total reflectance (ATR)-Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Significantly, the flexible on-demand hydrogen generation is achieved by using chemical switches for on-off AB hydrolysis. This study provides a new support platform based on two-dimensional MBene to exploit efficient catalysts to boost AB dehydrogenation.

Human-like adrenal features in Chinese tree shrews revealed by multi-omics analysis of adrenal cell populations and steroid synthesis.

The Chinese tree shrew ( Tupaia belangeri chinensis) has emerged as a promising model for investigating adrenal steroid synthesis, but it is unclear whether the same cells produce steroid hormones and whether their production is regulated in the same way as in humans. Here, we comprehensively mapped the cell types and pathways of steroid metabolism in the adrenal gland of Chinese tree shrews using single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptome analysis, mass spectrometry, and immunohistochemistry. We compared the transcriptomes of various adrenal cell types across tree shrews, humans, macaques, and mice. Results showed that tree shrew adrenal glands expressed many of the same key enzymes for steroid synthesis as humans, including CYP11B2, CYP11B1, CYB5A, and CHGA. Biochemical analysis confirmed the production of aldosterone, cortisol, and dehydroepiandrosterone but not dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate in the tree shrew adrenal glands. Furthermore, genes in adrenal cell types in tree shrews were correlated with genetic risk factors for polycystic ovary syndrome, primary aldosteronism, hypertension, and related disorders in humans based on genome-wide association studies. Overall, this study suggests that the adrenal glands of Chinese tree shrews may consist of closely related cell populations with functional similarity to those of the human adrenal gland. Our comprehensive results (publicly available at http://gxmujyzmolab.cn:16245/scAGMap/) should facilitate the advancement of this animal model for the investigation of adrenal gland disorders.

The prevalence and genotypes of Cryptosporidium spp. in bar-headed goose (Anser indicus) in China.

Cryptosporidium spp. is an important foodborne and waterborne pathogen in humans and animals, causing diarrhoea in humans and respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases in birds. However, reports of Cryptosporidium infection in bar-headed goose are limited. To determine the infection rate and species/genotypes of Cryptosporidium in bar-headed goose in China, a total of 358 fecal samples were collected from 3 regions. Nested PCR was used to amplify Cryptosporidium SSU rRNA regions from the fecal extracted-DNA samples. The total infection rate of Cryptosporidium in bar-headed in China was 3.9 % (14/358), with 4.2 % (5/120) in Aba (Ngawa) Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefect, Sichuan province, 7.6 % (9/119) in Maqu county, Gansu province, and 0.0 % (0/119) in Caohai, Wei ning county, Guizhou province. The differences in prevalence rate by region were statistically significant. All positive samples were identified as Cryptosporidium goose genotype I (n = 14). This is the first systematic investigation of the epidemiological status and dominant species/genotypes of Cryptosporidium in bar-headed goose in China, thereby enhancing our understanding of the epidemiology of Cryptosporidium infection in wild migratory birds.

Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Optimization of Antipigmentation Tyrosinase Inhibitors: De Novo Molecular Generation Based on a Low Activity Lead Compound.

Artificial intelligence (AI) de novo molecular generation is a highly promising strategy in the drug discovery, with deep reinforcement learning (RL) models emerging as powerful tools. This study introduces a fragment-by-fragment growth RL forward molecular generation and optimization strategy based on a low activity lead compound. This process integrates fragment growth-based reaction templates, while target docking and drug-likeness prediction were simultaneously performed. This comprehensive approach considers molecular similarity, internal diversity, synthesizability, and effectiveness, thereby enhancing the quality and efficiency of molecular generation. Finally, a series of tyrosinase inhibitors were generated and synthesized. Most compounds exhibited more improved activity than lead, with an optimal candidate compound surpassing the effects of kojic acid and demonstrating significant antipigmentation activity in a zebrafish model. Furthermore, metabolic stability studies indicated susceptibility to hepatic metabolism. The proposed AI structural optimization strategies will play a promising role in accelerating the drug discovery and improving traditional efficiency.

The association analysis of DNA methylation and transcriptomics identified BpCYCD3;2 as a participant in influencing cell division in autotetraploid birch (Betula pendula) leaves.

Polyploidization plays a crucial role in plant breeding and genetic improvement. Although the phenomenon of polyploidization affecting the area and number of plant epidermal pavement cells is well described, the underlying mechanism behind this phenomenon is still largely unknown. In this study, we found that the leaves of autotetraploid birch (Betula pendula) stopped cell division earlier and had a larger cell area. In addition, compared to diploids, tetraploids have a smaller stomatal density and fewer stomatal numbers. Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis revealed no significant difference in global DNA methylation levels between diploids and tetraploids. A total of 9154 differential methylation regions (DMRs) were identified between diploids and tetraploids, with CHH-type DMRs accounting for 91.73% of all types of DMRs. Further research has found that there are a total of 2105 differentially methylated genes (DMEGs) with CHH-type DMRs in birch. The GO functional enrichment results of DMEGs showed that differentially methylated genes were mainly involved in terms such as cellular process and metabolic process. The analysis of differentially methylated genes and differentially expressed genes suggests that hyper-methylation in the promoter region may inhibit the gene expression level of BpCYCD3;2 in tetraploids. To investigate the function of BpCYCD3;2 in birch, we obtained overexpression and repressed expression lines of BpCYCD3;2 through genetic transformation. The morphogenesis of both BpCYCD3;2-OE and BpCYCD3;2-RE lines was not affected. However, low expression of BpCYCD3;2 can lead to inhibition of cell division in leaves, and this inhibition of cell proliferation can be compensated for by an increase in cell size. Additionally, we found that the number and density of stomata in the BpCYCD3;2-RE lines were significantly reduced, consistent with the tetraploid. These data indicate that changes in cell division ability and stomatal changes in tetraploid birch can be partially attributed to low expression of the BpCYCD3;2 gene, which may be related to hyper-methylation in its promoter region. These results will provide new insights into the mechanism by which polyploidization affects plant development.

The impact of perioperative nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on the postoperative outcomes of spinal surgery: a meta-analysis of 23 randomized controlled trials.

In recent years, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs), which are considered to affect the prognosis of spinal surgery, have been widely used in perioperative analgesia in spinal surgery, but the relationship between these two factors remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of perioperative use of NSAIDs on the prognosis of patients treated with spinal surgery. We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library for relevant articles published on or before July 14, 2023. We used a random-effect model for the meta-analysis to calculate the standardized mean difference (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Sensitivity analyses were conducted to analyze stability. A total of 23 randomized clinical trials including 1457 participants met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis showed that NSAIDs were significantly associated with postoperative morphine use (mg) (SMD = -0.90, 95% CI -1.12 to -0.68) and postoperative pain (SMD = -0.71, 95% CI -0.85 to -0.58). These results were further confirmed by the trim-and-fill procedure and leave-one-out sensitivity analyses. The current study shows that perioperative use of NSAIDs appears to be an important factor in reducing postoperative pain and morphine use in patients undergoing spinal surgery. However, well-designed, high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are still required.

XELOX (capecitabine plus oxaliplatin) plus bevacizumab (anti-VEGF-A antibody) with or without adoptive cell immunotherapy in the treatment of patients with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer: a multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled, phase 3 trial.

Fluoropyrimidine-based combination chemotherapy plus targeted therapy is the standard initial treatment for unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), but the prognosis remains poor. This phase 3 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03950154) assessed the efficacy and adverse events (AEs) of the combination of PD-1 blockade-activated DC-CIK (PD1-T) cells with XELOX plus bevacizumab as a first-line therapy in patients with mCRC. A total of 202 participants were enrolled and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either first-line XELOX plus bevacizumab (the control group, n = 102) or the same regimen plus autologous PD1-T cell immunotherapy (the immunotherapy group, n = 100) every 21 days for up to 6 cycles, followed by maintenance treatment with capecitabine and bevacizumab. The main endpoint of the trial was progression-free survival (PFS). The median follow-up was 19.5 months. Median PFS was 14.8 months (95% CI, 11.6-18.0) for the immunotherapy group compared with 9.9 months (8.0-11.8) for the control group (hazard ratio [HR], 0.60 [95% CI, 0.40-0.88]; p = 0.009). Median overall survival (OS) was not reached for the immunotherapy group and 25.6 months (95% CI, 18.3-32.8) for the control group (HR, 0.57 [95% CI, 0.33-0.98]; p = 0.043). Grade 3 or higher AEs occurred in 20.0% of patients in the immunotherapy group and 23.5% in the control groups, with no toxicity-associated deaths reported. The addition of PD1-T cells to first-line XELOX plus bevacizumab demonstrates significant clinical improvement of PFS and OS with well tolerability in patients with previously untreated mCRC.
