Heterodimeric IL-15 delays tumor growth and promotes intratumoral CTL and dendritic cell accumulation by a cytokine network involving XCL1, IFN-γ, CXCL9 and CXCL10 by Bernard A Fox, Cristina Bergamaschi, George N Pavlakis, Antonio Valentin, Jenifer Bear, Barbara K Felber, Shawn M Jensen, Hrishikesh Pandit, Bethany A Nagy, Dimitris Stellas, Maggie Cam

“…Several preclinical models support the antitumor activity of hetIL-15 promoting its application in clinical trials.Methods The antitumor activity of hetIL-15 produced from mammalian cells was tested in mouse tumor models (MC38 colon carcinoma and TC-1 epithelial carcinoma). The functional diversity of the immune infiltrate and the cytokine/chemokine network within the tumor was evaluated by flow cytometry, multicolor immunohistochemistry (IHC), gene expression profiling by Nanostring Technologies, and protein analysis by electrochemiluminescence and ELISA assays.Results hetIL-15 treatment resulted in delayed primary tumor growth. …”

Pulmonary Artery Stent Implantation for Fibrosing Mediastinitis: Our Clinical Experience by Cheng Hong, Daibing Zhou, Haiming Chen, Xiaofeng Wu, Wenliang Guo, Jiangyu Cui, Weijie Guan, Nanshan Zhong, Jielong Lin

“…After PA stent implantation, patients showed enhanced tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (20.6 vs. 18.5, p < 0.001) and reduced right atrial diameter (35.5 vs. 37.3, p = 0.042), along with significant gains in 6‐min walk distance (465.2 vs. 392.7, p = 0.002) and improved World Health Organization functional class (p < 0.001). Hemodynamic parameters improved after PA stent placement with significant reductions in systolic pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) (51.1 vs. 64.2, p < 0.001), mean PAP (28.4 vs. 35.2, p < 0.001), pulmonary vascular resistance (4.7 vs. 5.9, p = 0.004), and stent gradient (11.2 vs. 33.4, p < 0.001), along with increased patency (84.8% vs. 28%, p < 0.001), and fractional flow reserve (0.84 vs. 0.44, p < 0.001). …”
