RESUMEN
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection poses significant risks in allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT) recipients. Despite advances in antiviral therapies, issues such as drug resistance, side effects, and inadequate immune reconstitution remain. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adoptive cell therapy (ATC) in managing CMV infections in allo-HSCT recipients. Adhering to preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines, we conducted a comprehensive database search through July 2023. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted on studies involving HSCT patients with CMV infections treated with ATC. The primary outcome was the response rate to ATC, and secondary outcomes included adverse events associated with ATC. The Freeman-Tukey transformation was applied for analysis. In the meta-analysis of 40 studies involving 953 participants, ATC achieved an overall integrated response rate of 90.16%, with a complete response of 82.59% and a partial response of 22.95%. ATC source, HLA matching, steroid intake, and age group markedly influenced response rates. Donor-derived T-cell treatments exhibited a higher response rate (93.66%) compared to third-party sources (88.94%). HLA-matched patients demonstrated a response rate of 92.90%, while mismatched patients had a lower rate. Children showed a response rate of 83.40%, while adults had a notably higher rate of 98.46%. Adverse events were minimal, with graft-versus-host disease occurring in 24.32% of patients. ATC shows promising response rates in treating CMV infections post-HSCT, with an acceptable safety profile. However, to establish its efficacy conclusively and compare it with other antiviral treatments, randomised controlled trials are essential. Further research should prioritise such trials over observational and one-arm studies to provide robust evidence for clinical decision-making.

OBJECTIVE: This systematic review aims to evaluate existing evidence to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of M2 macrophage-derived exosomes in bone regeneration. DESIGN: A comprehensive search between 2020 and 2024 across PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus was conducted using a defined search strategy to identify relevant studies regarding the following question: "What is the impact of M2 macrophage-derived exosomes on bone regeneration?". Controlled in vitro and in vivo studies were included in this study. The SYRCLE tool was used to evaluate the risk of bias in the included animal studies. RESULTS: This review included 20 studies published. Seven studies were selected for only in vitro analysis, whereas 13 studies underwent both in vitro and in vivo analyses. The in vivo studies employed animal models, including 163 C57BL6 mice and 73 Sprague-Dawley rats. Exosomes derived from M2 macrophages were discovered to be efficacious in promoting bone regeneration and vascularization in animal models of bone defects. These effects were primarily confirmed through morphological and histological assessments. This remarkable outcome is attributed to the regulation of multiple signaling pathways, as evidenced by the findings of 11 studies investigating the involvement of miRNAs in this intricate process. In addition, in vitro studies observed positive effects on cell proliferation, migration, osteogenesis, and angiogenesis. Heterogeneity in study methods hinders direct comparison of results across studies. CONCLUSION: M2 macrophage-derived exosomes demonstrate remarkable potential for promoting bone regeneration. Further research optimizing their application and elucidating the underlying mechanisms can pave the way for clinical translation.

This systematic review and meta-analysis assesses the clinical outcomes of implants inserted during or following transcrestal sinus lifts. The study protocol was prospectively registered on PROSPERO (CRD42024504513). PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Scopus databases were searched up to 21 February 2024, and randomised clinical trials utilising transcrestal sinus lifts were included. Qualitative and quantitative syntheses were conducted. A random effects model was used to pool the survival rate of implants placed with transcrestal sinus lifts using hand osteotomes without grafting, along with meta-regression and subgroup analyses. Funnel plots and Egger's linear regression were used to explore possible publication bias. Probabilities of less than 0.05 were considered significant. A total of 1807 records were identified after the initial search. Seventeen studies were included with 10 of them considered for meta-analysis. Studies used hand osteotomes, a combination of piezoelectric and hand osteotomes, drills, and smart lifts for sinus elevation. Only studies that used hand osteotomes reported subsequent vertigo and dizziness in patients. The meta-analysis showed a 100% (95% CI: 99% to 100%) survival rate for both grafted and non-grafted transcrestal sinus lifts using hand osteotomes. Meta-regression showed that follow-up time did not significantly affect the implants' survival. Subgroup analyses showed no significant difference between bone-level and tissue-level implants and one-stage or two-stage implants. On considering the limitations of this study it can be concluded that closed maxillary sinus elevation can be considered a relatively safe technique that is associated with a high survival rate. However, caution should be taken when using hand osteotomes because of a higher rate of sinus lining perforation and reported patient vertigo.
