1.Progress and prospects of anti-IL-4/IL-13 monoclonal antibody treatment in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.
Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2025;39(12):1197-1202
Chronic rhinosinusitis(CRS) is a chronic inflammation of the nasal cavity and sinus mucosa, which is mainly characterized by nasal obstruction, runny nose, headache and hyposmia. Due to complex mechanisms, CRS can be divided into different clinical phenotypes and inflammatory endotypes. Approximately 80% of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps(CRSwNP) patients present with type Ⅱ inflammation. IL-4 and IL-13 are the key factors in the process of type Ⅱ inflammation, and drugs targeting IL-4/IL-13 provide new options for the treatment of CRSwNP. Therefore, this article mainly reviews the application of anti-IL-4 /IL-13 monoclonal antibody in CRSwNP.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a promising class of targeted cancer therapeutics that combine the specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the potency of cytotoxic payloads. Despite their therapeutic potential, the use of ADCs faces significant challenges, including off/on-target toxicity and resistance development. This review examines the current landscape of ADC development, focusing on the critical aspects of target selection and antibody engineering. We discuss strategies to increase ADC efficacy and safety, including multitarget approaches, pH-dependent antibodies, and masked peptide technologies. The importance of comprehensive antigen expression profiling in both tumor and normal tissues is emphasized, highlighting the role of advanced technologies, such as single-cell sequencing and artificial intelligence, in optimizing target selection. Furthermore, we explore combination therapies and innovations in linker‒payload chemistry, which may provide approaches for expanding the therapeutic window of ADCs. These advances pave the way for the development of more precise and effective cancer treatments, potentially extending ADC applications beyond oncology.

OBJECTIVE:
Recaticimab (SHR-1209) significantly reduces low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. However, its effect on glucose metabolism remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate its effect on glycemic parameters in a Chinese population.
METHODS:
Recaticimab versus placebo was administered in a 5:1 ratio to 110 hyperlipidemia patients who were followed up for 24 weeks. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels were measured at baseline every 12 weeks. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels were measured at baseline at week 1, 3, 5, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24. Repeated-measures mixed-effects models were used to determine the longitudinal association between reacticimab and FPG and HbA1c levels.
RESULTS:
Among the 81 participants with normal glucose metabolism, HbA1c levels significantly decreased ( F = 4.568, P = 0.036). In the 29 participants with abnormal glucose metabolism, a significant time effect was observed for FPG levels ( F = 2.492, P = 0.016). For participants with normal and abnormal glucose metabolism, no significant group × time interaction effects on FPG or HbA1c levels were identified.
CONCLUSION
Recaticimab showed no adverse glycemic effects in participants with normal or abnormal glucose metabolism, indicating its safety in patients with or without diabetes.

Programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) inhibitor therapy for lung adenocarcinoma may induce rare but severe hematologic adverse events, including severe anemia. Although glucocorticoids are recommended for managing immune-related adverse events, therapeutic experience with PD-1 inhibitor-induced severe anemia remains limited, and its efficacy and safety have not been fully validated. This article reports a case of advanced lung adenocarcinoma in which severe anemia developed following combination therapy with chemotherapy and PD-1 inhibitor. After comprehensive evaluation, the patient was diagnosed with anemia of inflammation (AI) and achieved significant hemoglobin recovery following high-dose glucocorticoid treatment. These findings may provide new insights into the recognition and management of this rare hematologic toxicity in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of interleukin 23p19(IL-23p19) monoclonal antibody in the MRL/lpr lupus-like mouse model. Methods A total of 36 female MRL/lpr mice aged 8 weeks were randomly divided into 6 groups: PBS group (blank control), IgG group (isotype IgG), dexamethasone (DEX) group (positive control), and three IL-23p19 monoclonal antibody treatment groups with different dose gradients: low dose (LD, 1 mg/kg), medium dose (MD, 3 mg/kg), and high dose (HD, 10 mg/kg). Drug intervention began at 12 weeks of age via tail vein injection. Urine protein levels were measured using urine protein test strips; serum anti-dsDNA antibody levels were detected by ELISA; serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels were measured using an automatic biochemical analyzer; renal histopathological changes were analyzed by H&E and PAS staining; immunofluorescence was used to assess IgG and C3 immune complex deposition in kidney tissues; flow cytometry was employed to examine the expression of T helper 1(Th1), Th2, Th17, T follicular helper (Tfh), and regulatory T cells(Treg) cell subsets in the spleen; and RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of related transcription factors in the spleen. Results IL-23p19 monoclonal antibody reduced urine protein levels, alleviated splenomegaly, improved renal function, and decreased anti-dsDNA antibody levels in MRL/lpr mice. It also mitigated glomerulonephritis and reduced renal immune complex deposition. Furthermore, IL-23p19 monoclonal antibody significantly suppressed the proportion of Th1 and Th17 cells while upregulating Treg cell proportion in the spleen. Additionally, it downregulated T-bet and retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor γt (RORγt) mRNA levels and upregulated forkhead box P3(FOXP3) mRNA levels in the spleen. Conclusions IL-23p19 monoclonal antibody demonstrates significant therapeutic effects in MRL/lpr mice, likely through modulation of the Th17/Treg cell balance.

OBJECTIVES:
To investigate the application value of thromboelastography (TEG) in assessing coagulation function in children with severe hemophilia A (HA) after emicizumab (EMI) therapy.
METHODS:
A retrospective analysis was performed on the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and TEG testing results of 17 children with severe HA before and after EMI treatment at Shenzhen Children's Hospital from January 2023 to July 2024. Correlation analysis was conducted between coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) equivalent activity and reaction time (R value) measured by TEG.
RESULTS:
After EMI treatment, the mean bleeding rate for children with severe HA was 1.6 events per year, with 15 children (88%) without spontaneous bleeding or joint bleeding. The children with severe HA showed a significant reduction in APTT after EMI treatment (P<0.05), with a significantly shorter APTT than the normal control group (P<0.05). There was no correlation between APTT and FVIII equivalent activity after treatment (P>0.05). After EMI treatment, TEG parameters, including R value, kinetic time, alpha angle (α), maximum amplitude, clot strength, and coagulation index, shifted from a hypocoagulable state before treatment to a nearly normal state after treatment (P<0.05). The R value demonstrated a strong negative correlation with FVIII equivalent activity (r=-0.758, P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
The bleeding condition of children with severe HA can be effectively controlled after EMI treatment. Routine APTT testing cannot reflect true coagulation function, whereas TEG testing is clinically valuable in assessing the coagulation function of children with severe HA undergoing EMI treatment.

Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics 2025;27(9):1134-1139
The patient was a girl aged 10 years and 10 months, with weakness, pale complexion, and rash as the initial presentation. She had the manifestations of anemia, thrombocytopenia, hematuria-proteinuria with renal insufficiency, hypocomplementemia, polyserositis, and positive anti-nuclear antibody and anti-dsDNA antibody. The girl was initially diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus and lupus nephritis. She demonstrated a suboptimal response to methylprednisolone pulse therapy, intravenous immunoglobulin administration, and therapeutic plasma exchange. She had persistent anemia, thrombocytopenia, abnormal renal function, elevated lactate dehydrogenase, decreased complement factors H and I, increased antibodies to C3 converting enzyme, and normal ADAMTS13 activity. She was diagnosed with complement-mediated hemolytic thrombotic microangiopathy secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus. The patient's condition improved after treatment with two doses of eculizumab (600 mg per dose). Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus complicated by thrombotic microangiopathy often have a severe disease course and poor prognosis; therefore, early recognition and aggressive intervention are crucial for improving outcomes.

Patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) face poor prognoses due to tumor heterogeneity and drug resistance. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have been under development for over two decades for mCRPC treatment. Several clinical trials have demonstrated promising antitumor activity and acceptable safety profiles for ADCs in this setting. Among prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted ADCs, ARX517 demonstrates superior safety and more significant prostate-specific antigen (PSA) reductions compared to earlier agents such as MLN2704, PSMA-ADC, and MEDI3726. ADCs targeting B7-H3, such as MGC018 and DB-1311, have also shown antitumor activity. ADCs targeting other antigens, including six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of the prostate (STEAP)1 (DSTP3086S), trophoblast cell surface antigen (TROP)2 (sacituzumab govitecan), and solute carrier (SLC) 44A4 (ASG-5ME), have shown preliminary antitumor activity in early trials but face challenges with insufficient efficacy or toxicity. Tisotumab vedotin (targeting tissue factor) has shown no significant therapeutic response in mCRPC. Meanwhile, disitamab vedotin (HER2-targeted), ABBV-969 and DXC008 (both dual PSMA/STEAP1-targeted) are currently under evaluation. Notably, an international multicenter phase Ⅲ clinical trial (NCT06925737) for mCRPC has been initiated in May 2025 for evaluating B7-H3-targeted ADC ifinatamab deruxtecan. This review summarizes recent advances in ADCs targeting key antigens in mCRPC (including PSMA, B7-H3, STEAP1, TROP2, SLC44A4, and others) and explores combination strategies, offering insights to inform the clinical management of mCRPC.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the clinical effects of pomalidomide-based regimen in the treatment of relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).
METHODS:
60 patients with RRMM in hematology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from November 2020 to January 2023 were selected. Among them, 15 cases were treated with PDD regimen (pomalidomide + daratumumab + dexamethasone), and 45 cases were treated with PCD regimen (pomalidomide + cyclophosphamide + dexamethasone). The clinical effects were evaluated.
RESULTS:
The median number of treatment cycles for the entire cohort was 5 (2-11), with an overall response rate (ORR) of 75.0%. The ORR of patients treated with PDD regimen was 73.3%, while the ORR of patients treated with PCD regimen was 75.6%. The ORR of 46 patients with non high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities (non-HRCA) was 86.9%, significantly higher than the 35.7% of 14 patients with HRCA (χ2 =15.031, P < 0.05). The median PFS for all patients was 8.0(95%CI : 6.8-9.1) months and the median OS was 14.0 (95%CI : 11.3-16.7) months. Among patients treated with PDD regimen, the PFS and OS of patients with non-HRCA were significantly higher than those of patients with HRCA [PFS: 7.0(95%CI : 4.6-9.3) months vs 4.0(95%CI : 3.1-4.8) months, χ2 =5.120, P < 0.05; OS: not reached vs 6.0(95%CI : 1.1-10.9) months, χ2 =9.870, P < 0.05]. Among patients treated with PCD regimen, the PFS and OS of patients with non-HRCA were significantly higher than those of patients with HRCA [PFS: 9.0(95%CI : 6.2-11.8) months vs 6.0(95%CI : 5.4-6.6) months, χ2=14.396, P < 0.05; OS: not reached vs 11.0(95%CI : 6.4-15.6) months, χ2 =7.471, P < 0.05].
CONCLUSION
The pomalidomide-based regimen has a good clinical effect and safety in the treatment of RRMM.
