Type I interferons have long been appreciated as a cytokine family that regulates antiviral immunity. Recently, their role in eliciting antitumor immune responses has gained increasing attention. Within the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), interferons stimulate tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes to promote immune clearance and essentially reshape a "cold" TME into an immune-activating "hot" TME. In this review, we focus on gliomas, with an emphasis on malignant glioblastoma, as these brain tumors possess a highly invasive and heterogenous brain TME. We address how type I interferons regulate antitumor immune responses against malignant gliomas and reshape the overall immune landscape of the brain TME. Furthermore, we discuss how these findings can translate into future immunotherapies targeting brain tumors in general.

Central nervous system (CNS) diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, brain tumors, and others, result in poor quality of life and can cause substantial disability. Not all CNS diseases are amenable to surgical approaches, so drug development is important for disease treatment. Unfortunately, there are few drugs currently available for CNS diseases.

Background And Objective: Differentiating central nervous system infections (CNSIs) from brain tumors (BTs) is difficult due to overlapping features and the limited individual indicators, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology remains underutilized. To improve differential diagnosis, we developed a model based on 9 early, cost-effective cerebrospinal fluid parameters, including CSF cytology.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with CNSIs or BTs at Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between October 1st, 2017 and March 31st, 2024 were enrolled and divided into the training set and the test set.

Introduction: Recent advancements in surgical techniques and perioperative care have improved cancer survival rates, yet postoperative comorbidity and mortality remain a critical concern. Despite progress in cancer control, systematic analyses of long-term mortality trends and competing risks in surgery-intervened cancer populations are lacking. This study aimed to quantify temporal patterns of postoperative mortality causes across 21 solid cancers and identify dominant non-cancer risk factors to inform survivorship care strategies.

Aim Search for subclinical manifestations of cardiotoxicity in cancer patients at high and very high risk of cardiotoxicity and evaluation of the effectiveness of drug primary prevention during the antitumor treatment. Material and methods The study included 150 cancer patients with a high and very high Mayo Clinic (USA) Cardiotoxicity Risk Score. The main group consisted of 84 patients at high and very high risk of cardiotoxicity who were prescribed cardioprotective therapy, including a fixed combination of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) perindopril and the beta-blocker bisoprolol with trimetazidine.
