Purpose: For patients with locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) that progressed after definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and durvalumab consolidation therapy, no subsequent standard treatment exists. The type of treatment selected for each timing of disease progression and its efficacy have not been investigated.
Methods: We retrospectively enrolled patients with LA-NSCLC or inoperable NSCLC that progressed after definitive CRT and durvalumab consolidation therapy at 15 Japanese institutions. Patients were classified into the following: Early Discontinuation group (disease progression within 6 months after durvalumab initiation), Late Discontinuation group (disease progression from 7 to 12 months after durvalumab initiation), and Accomplishment group (disease progression from 12 months after durvalumab initiation).
Results: Altogether, 127 patients were analyzed, including 50 (39.4%), 42 (33.1%) and 35 (27.5%) patients from the Early Discontinuation, Late Discontinuation, and Accomplishment groups, respectively. Subsequent treatments were Platinum plus immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in 18 (14.2%), ICI in 7 (5.5%), Platinum in 59 (46.4%), Non-Platinum in 35 (27.6%), and tyrosine kinase inhibitor in 8 (6.3%) patients. In the Early Discontinuation, Late Discontinuation, and Accomplishment groups, 4 (8.0%), 7 (16.7%), and 7 (20.0%) patients were receiving Platinum plus ICI; 21 (42.0%), 22 (52.4%), and 16 (45.7%) were receiving Platinum, and 20 (40.0%), 8 (19.0%), and 7 (20.0%) were receiving Non-Platinum, respectively. No significant difference in progression-free survival was observed in the timing of disease progression.
Conclusion: In patients with LA-NSCLC hat progressed after definitive CRT and durvalumab consolidation therapy, subsequent treatment may change depending on the timing of disease progression.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and animal models exhibit an altered gut microbiome that is associated with pathological changes in the brain. Intestinal miRNA enters bacteria and regulates bacterial metabolism and proliferation. This study aimed to investigate whether the manipulation of miRNA could alter the gut microbiome and AD pathologies.

Background: Current scoring systems for hypertriglyceridaemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) severity are few and lack reliability. The present work focused on screening predicting factors for HTG-SAP, then constructing and validating the visualization model of HTG-AP severity by combining relevant metabolic indexes.
Methods: Between January 2020 and December 2024, retrospective clinical information for HTG-AP inpatients from Weifang People's Hospital was examined.

Background: Cerebellar pathologies in adults can have a wide range of hereditary, acquired and sporadic-degenerative causes. Due to the frequency in daily hospital, especially intensive care, settings, electrolyte imbalances are an important, yet rare differential diagnosis. The hypomagnesemia-induced cerebellar syndrome (HiCS) constitutes a relevant disease entity with clinical and morphological variability due to a potential progression of symptoms and a promising causal treatment.

Introduction: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) represents a transitional stage between normal aging and dementia. We investigate associations among cardiovascular and metabolic disorders (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia) and diagnosis (normal; amnestic [aMCI]; and non-amnestic [naMCI]).
Methods: Multinomial logistic regressions of participant data (N = 8737; age = 70.

Histone arginine methylation by protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) is crucial for transcriptional regulation and is implicated in cancers. Despite their therapeutic potential, some PRMTs present challenges as drug targets due to their context-dependent activities. Here, we demonstrate that hypoxia triggers the rapid condensation of PRMT2, which is essential for its histone H3R8 asymmetric dimethylation (H3R8me2a) activity.
