In recent years, bispecific antibodies (BsAb), including targeting B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) ×CD3 and G protein-coupled orphan receptor class C group 5 member D (GPRC5D) ×CD3, have been extensively studied for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients. Teclistamab (BCMA×CD3) was the first BsAb approved for RRMM in 2022 by Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and elranatamab was approved in 2023. BsAb targeting BCMA×CD3 including alnuctamab, WVT078, ABBV-383, linvoseltamab, and F182112, as well as talquetamab and LBL-034 targeting GPRC5D×CD3 are currently being evaluated in clinical trials. Combining with the reports in the 65th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), this paper reviews the progress of BsAb in treatment of RRMM.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation therapy for patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 80 PTMC patients admitted to Zhongshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine(Zhongshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine) from January 2018 to September 2020. All cases were divided into two groups according to different treatment methods, with 40 cases in each group. The control group received PTMC radical surgery, while the observation group received ultrasound guided radiofrequency ablation. The situation of new tumors and cervical lymph node metastasis in both groups was observed through follow-up, the relative indexes of operation and safety of the two groups were compared.Results:There was no significant difference in the incidence of situation of new tumors and cervical lymph node metastasis between the two groups ( P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss and hospital stay in the observation group were less than those in the control group: (20.23 ± 5.07) min vs. (54.51 ± 12.13) min, (1.68 ± 0.28) ml vs.(13.68 ± 2.31) ml, (1.82 ± 0.32) d vs. (5.43 ± 0.57) d, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group: 5.00%(2/40) vs. 25.00%(10/40), there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Ultrasound guided radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of PTMC is safe and effective, minimally invasive in beauty, and can effectively reduce the incidence of complications.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of immediate intraoperative transapical beating-heart septal myectomy (TA-BSM) in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) and explored the clinical value of three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE) during the procedure of TA-BSM.Methods:One hundred and thirty-seven HOCM patients who underwent TA-BSM surgery in Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from April 2022 to March 2023 were selected.During the operation, 3D-TEE was used to locate the position of the myocardial circumcision system and navigate the range of myocardial circumcision. The interventricular septal thickness( IVST) and peak pressure gradient of the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT-PG) were measured, and the degree of mitral systolic anterior motion (SAM) and mitral regurgitation (MR) were evaluated in HOCM patients before and after the operation. The range of the incisal margin was measured, and the number of resection knives and the weight of the removed myocardium were recorded.Results:TA-BSM under 3D-TEE navigation was successfully performed in 137 HOCM patients. The number of resection was 7(5, 9), and the weight of the removed myocardium was 5.6(3.4, 8.9)g. During the operation, there were no adverse events such as death, aortic valve injury, and iatrogenic interventricular septal perforation. Compared with those before the operation, the wall thickness of basal and middle segments of the anterior and posterior interventricular septum decreased significantly (all P<0.001), and LVOT-PG decreased significantly ( P<0.001). After TA-BSM, the number of patients with SAM≥3 decreased from 94 cases (68.6%) to 2 cases (1.5%), and the number of patients with MR≥3+ decreased from 86 cases (62.8%) to 9 cases (6.6%)(all P<0.001). For the patients with different degrees of ventricular septal hypertrophy (mild, moderate, and severe), the postoperative IVST and LVOT-PG were significantly lower than the preoperative values, and the degree of MR and SAM signs was relieved considerably. The length of the incisal margin, the weight of excised myocardium, and the number of resection in the group with extensive septal hypertrophy in all three regions were significantly higher than those in the group with localized interventricular septal hypertrophy in single or two areas (all P<0.05). Conclusions:3D-TEE can guide and monitor the process of TA-BSM myocardial resection in real-time. By accurately evaluating the IVST and the range and hemodynamic characteristics of HOCM patients, it can effectively relieve LVOTO and significantly reduce MR to ensure the safety and effectiveness of TA-BSM in HOCM patients with different degrees and ranges of hypertrophy.

Acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO) refers to ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion of internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery and vertebrobasilar artery, which has the characteristics of large infarct, relatively poor outcome, higher disability and mortality. Therefore, early vascular recanalization and rescue of ischemic penumbra are the key to improve the outcome of patients with AIS-LVO. Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has a definite effect on AIS-LVO. The current guidelines recommend that MT should be performed on the basis of IVT for AIS-LVO patients without contraindications of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), the so-called bridging therapy. IVT can increase the risk of bleeding to a certain extent, delay MT and increase the cost of hospitalization. However, there are still many controversies about whether the patients with AIS-LVO can directly perform MT. This article reviews the comparative study of direct MT and bridging therapy in patients with anterior circulation AIS-LVO, hoping to provide reference for clinicians in the treatment of AIS-LVO.
