Background: This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) immunotherapy with standard treatment for B-cell lymphoma, providing evidence-based support for the more efficient use of CAR-T cell immunotherapy.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive literature search of high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on CAR-T therapy for B-cell lymphoma in the following databases: Wanfang, Web of Science, CNKI, VIP database, and PubMed, up to February 2024. The outcome measures included objective remission rate (ORR), complete remission rate (CRR), and incidence of adverse reactions. Subgroup analysis was performed based on the differences in co-stimulatory domains. Meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.4 and Stata software.
Results: A total of five RCTs involving 1670 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The results showed that the CAR-T treatment group had significantly higher ORR (RR: 1.47, 95% CI 1.23-1.76, I = 80%, p < 0.0001), CRR (RR: 2.19, 95% CI 2.16-3.79, I = 93%, p = 0.005), cytokine release syndrome (CRS) incidence (RR: 34.51, 95% CI 2.27-523.78, I = 98%, p = 0.01), neurotoxicity (NT) incidence (RR: 6.00, 95% CI 1.82-19.75, I = 80%, p = 0.003), neutropenia incidence (RR: 1.39, 95% CI 1.02-1.88, I = 93%, p = 0.03), leukopenia incidence (RR: 1.39, 95% CI 1.04-1.87, I = 61%, p = 0.03), and headache incidence (RR: 1.56, 95% CI 1.25-1.95, I = 34%, p < 0.0001) compared to the standard treatment group. Subgroup analysis based on co-stimulatory domains revealed that the 4-1BB subgroup had higher incidences of CRR, CRS, NT and leukopenia than the CD28 subgroup; however, the CD28 subgroup exhibited higher ORR and neutropenia than the 4-1BB subgroup.
Conclusion: CAR-T cell immunotherapy demonstrates superior efficacy compared to standard therapy in treating B-cell lymphoma. However, CAR-T treatment can lead to adverse reactions such as CRS and NT. Infusion of an appropriate dose of CAR-T cells (e.g., 100 × 10) may be a strategy to mitigate the risk of CRS and NT.

Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (CHL) is characterized by a complex tumor microenvironment (TME) that supports disease progression. While immune cell recruitment by Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells is well-documented, the role of non-malignant B cells in relapse remains unclear. Using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on paired diagnostic and relapsed CHL samples, we identified distinct shifts in B-cell populations, particularly an enrichment of naïve B cells and a reduction of memory B cells in early-relapse compared to late-relapse and newly diagnosed CHL.

B-lymphocytes play major adaptive immune roles, producing antibody and driving T-cell responses. However, how immunometabolism networks support B-cell activation and differentiation in response to distinct receptor stimuli remains incompletely understood. To gain insights, we systematically investigated acute primary human B-cell transcriptional, translational and metabolomic responses to B-cell receptor (BCR), Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), CD40-ligand (CD40L), interleukin-4 (IL4) or combinations thereof.

To evaluate whether age modifies the association between the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and overall survival (OS) in patients aged ≥ 18 years with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), we conducted a multi-centre retrospective study of 552 patients. Multivariable Cox regression with restricted cubic spline (RCS) modelling showed that GNRI was significantly associated with OS, but the relationship was non-linear (P for non-linearity = 0.0158).

We report a case of zosteriform PCMZL presenting in a T3-T4 dermatomal distribution not previously described in the literature. Although the varicella zoster virus was not detected in this case, late diagnosis of the acute eruption of zoster or even preceding zoster 'sine herpete' cannot be excluded as antigenic triggers.

Background: Delirium is an acute cognitive disturbance that is linked to increased healthcare costs, extended hospitalization, and a greater incidence of adverse outcomes, including cognitive decline. Despite its clinical importance, existing strategies for predicting and managing delirium remain inadequate. This study, therefore, sought to investigate the potential relationship between cerebrospinal fluid proteins and delirium via Mendelian randomization (MR) and to identify potential therapeutic targets.
