Article Abstract

Background: T cells are present in all stages of tumor formation and play an important role in the tumor microenvironment. We aimed to explore the expression profile of T cell marker genes, constructed a prognostic risk model based on these genes in Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), and investigated the link between this risk model and the immunotherapy response.

Methods: We obtained the single-cell sequencing data of LUAD from the literature, and screened out 6 tissue biopsy samples, including 32,108 cells from patients with non-small cell lung cancer, to identify T cell marker genes in LUAD. Combined with TCGA database, a prognostic risk model based on T-cell marker gene was constructed, and the data from GEO database was used for verification. We also investigated the association between this risk model and immunotherapy response.

Results: Based on scRNA-seq data 1839 T-cell marker genes were identified, after which a risk model consisting of 9 gene signatures for prognosis was constructed in combination with the TCGA dataset. This risk model divided patients into high-risk and low-risk groups based on overall survival. The multivariate analysis demonstrated that the risk model was an independent prognostic factor. Analysis of immune profiles showed that high-risk groups presented discriminative immune-cell infiltrations and immune-suppressive states. Risk scores of the model were closely correlated with Linoleic acid metabolism, intestinal immune network for IgA production and drug metabolism cytochrome P450.

Conclusion: Our study proposed a novel prognostic risk model based on T cell marker genes for LUAD patients. The survival of LUAD patients as well as treatment outcomes may be accurately predicted by the prognostic risk model, and make the high-risk population present different immune cell infiltration and immunosuppression state.

Background: Active vitamin D metabolites, including 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25D) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D), have potent immunomodulatory effects that attenuate acute kidney injury (AKI) in animal models.

Methods: We conducted a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, multiple-dose, 3-arm clinical trial comparing oral calcifediol (25D), calcitriol (1,25D), and placebo among 150 critically ill adult patients at high-risk of moderate-to-severe AKI. The primary endpoint was a hierarchical composite of death, kidney replacement therapy (KRT), and kidney injury (baseline-adjusted mean change in serum creatinine), each assessed within 7 days following enrollment using a rank-based procedure.

Background: Experience with icodextrin use in children on long-term peritoneal dialysis is limited. We describe international icodextrin prescription practices and their impact on clinical outcomes: ultrafiltration, blood pressure control, residual kidney function (RKF), technique and patient survival.

Methods: We included patients under 21 years enrolled in the International Pediatric Peritoneal Dialysis Network (IPPN) between 2007 and 2024, on automated PD with a daytime dwell.

Importance: Patients with kidney failure (KF) receiving long-term dialysis have increased incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF). Patients with KF and AF have increased risk of stroke, death, and bleeding compared with age-matched cohorts. In KF, the use of oral anticoagulants (OACs) increases hemorrhage risk, offsetting potential benefits and making left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) a potentially promising solution for risk reduction in AF.

Association between transitional care in acute care hospitals and ambulatory care sensitive condition-related readmission.

Age Ageing

August 2025

Department of Nursing Health Services Research, Graduate School of Health Care Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Yushima, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan.

Background: Little is known about how ambulatory care sensitive condition (ACSC)-related readmissions can be reduced in acute care settings.

Objective: This study examined the association between transitional care for hospitalised older patients with ACSC and ACSC-related readmissions.

Methods: This retrospective observational cohort study included patients aged 65 years and older admitted with ACSC as the primary diagnosis from 1 April 2022 to 31 January 2023, using linked data from the Diagnosis Procedure Combination and the medical functions of the hospital beds database.

Cardiovascular Risk Prediction in Older Adults.

Curr Atheroscler Rep

September 2025

Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Disease, University of Alabama at Birmingham, 521 19th Street South-GSB 444, Birmingham, AL, 35233, USA.

Purpose Of Review: This review examines cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction models relevant to older adults, a rapidly expanding population with elevated CVD risk. It discusses model characteristics, performance metrics, and clinical implications.

Recent Findings: Some models have been developed specifically for older adults, while several others consider a broader age range, including some older individuals.
