Refractory cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a severe complication following umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT). Antiviral agents, the standard first-line therapy, are limited by toxicity and resistance without robust T-cell immunity. We evaluated third-party donor (TPD)-derived CMV-specific T cells (CMVSTs) as a treatment option.

Dupilumab monotherapy in super-elderly patients with bullous pemphigoid: a retrospective study on long-term efficacy and safety in mild to moderate cases.

J Dermatolog Treat

December 2025

Department of Dermatology, Beijing Hospital, National Center of Gerontology, Institute of Geriatric Medicine, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing, China.

Background: Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a common autoimmune subepidermal bullous disease. Dupilumab, an IL-4/IL-13 inhibitor, represents a novel therapeutic approach for BP, but real-world long-term data in super-elderly patients are limited.

Methods: This retrospective, single-center observational study included super-elderly BP patients (≥80 years) receiving dupilumab monotherapy from September 2022 to September 2024.

Biodegradation of patulin in apple juice by phosphoribosyl transferase (URA5): implications for food safety.

BMC Biotechnol

September 2025

Faculty of Science, Department of Biotechnology and Food Technology, University of Johannesburg, P.O. Box 17011, Doornfontein, Johannesburg, Gauteng, 2028, South Africa.

Patulin (PAT), a mycotoxin produced primarily by Penicillium expansum, poses significant health risks and frequently contaminates apples and apple-derived products, often exceeding permissible safety limits. This study investigated the potential of orotate phosphoribosyl transferase (URA5) to degrade PAT in apple juice under controlled conditions. PAT degradation was assessed at initial concentrations of 100 µg/L and 250 µg/L, with enzymatic treatment using 0.

Purpose: Limited data is available assessing sequencing of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) in patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR +), human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-negative, HER2-low, and triple-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC), including patients with brain metastases (BrM) or leptomeningeal disease (LMD). This study assesses the efficacy and safety of sequential sacituzumab govitecan (SG) and trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in MBC and impact on chemotherapy (CTX).

Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective, cohort study in adult patients with HR + , HER2-negative, or low MBC who received T-DXd and/or SG.

Evaluating the Long-term Effects of Microfocused Ultrasound on Facial Tightening Using Quantitative Instruments: Efficacy and Safety.

Aesthetic Plast Surg

September 2025

Department of Plastic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital, Jinan University, No. 613 West, Huangpu Avenue, Guangzhou, 510630, Guangdong Province, China.

Background: Microfocused ultrasound (MFU) is a non-invasive technique used for facial rejuvenation, yet there is limited quantitative data on its long-term effects. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of MFU for facial rejuvenation. We utilized standardized photography along with advanced skin assessment technologies to analyze the impact of MFU on facial morphology, skin function, and patient satisfaction over a 12-month period.
