    Abstract Until recently, it was widely accepted that bacteria participate in caries pathogenesis mainly through carbohydrate fermentation and acid production, which promote the dissolution of tooth components. Neutrophils, on the other hand, were considered white blood cells with no role in caries pathogenesis. Nevertheless, current literature suggests that both bacteria and neutrophils, among other factors, possess direct degradative activity towards both dentinal collagen type-1 and/or methacrylate resin-based restoratives and adhesives, the most common dental restoratives. Neutrophils are abundant leukocytes in the gingival sulcus, where they can readily reach adjacent tooth roots or gingival and cervical restorations and execute their degradative activity. In this review, we present the latest literature evidence for bacterial, dentinal, salivary, and neutrophil degradative action that may induce primary caries, secondary caries, and restoration failure.

    Abstract Therapeutic programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) blockade enhances T cell mediated anti-tumor immunity, but many patients do not respond, and a significant proportion develops inflammatory toxicities. To develop better therapeutics and to understand the signaling pathways downstream of PD-1 we performed phosphoproteomic interrogation of PD-1 to identify key mediators of PD-1 signaling. Hereby, supporting data of the research article “VRK2 inhibition synergizes with PD-1 blockade to improve T cell responses” are presented. In the primary publication, we proposed that VRK2 is a unique therapeutic target and that combination of VRK2 inhibitors with PD-1 blockade may improve cancer immunotherapy. Here, we provide data on the effect of other kinases on PD-1 signaling utilizing shRNA knockdown of the different kinases in Jurkat T cells. In addition, we used VRK2 inhibition by a pharmacologic approach in the MC38 tumor mouse model, to show the combined outcome of anti PD-1 treatment with VRK2 inhibition. These data provide additional targets downstream PD-1 and point toward methods of testing the effect of the inhibition of these targets on tumor progression in vivo.

    Abstract Therapeutic programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) blockade enhances T cell mediated anti-tumor immunity but many patients do not respond and a significant proportion develops inflammatory toxicities. To develop better therapeutics and to understand the signaling pathways downstream of PD-1 we performed phosphoproteomic analysis of PD-1 and identified vaccinia related kinase 2 (VRK2) as a key mediator of PD-1 signaling. Using genetic and pharmacological approaches, we discovered that VRK2 is required for PD-1-induced phosphorylation of the protein p21 activated kinase 2 (PAK2), and for the inhibition of IL-2, IL-8, and IFN-γ secretion. Moving into in vivo syngeneic tumor models, pharmacologic inhibition of VRK2 in combination with PD-1 blockade enhanced tumor clearance through T cell activation. This study suggests that VRK2 is a unique therapeutic target and that combination of VRK2 inhibitors with PD-1 blockade may improve cancer immunotherapy.

    Abstract Background: Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) unresponsive to medical therapy often require lung transplantation (LTx), which prolongs quality of life and survival. Ideal timing for referral for LTx remains challenging, with late referral associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Among other criteria, patients with ILD should be considered for LTx if forced vital capacity (FVC) is less than 80% or diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) is less than 40%. However, data on referral rates are lacking.
    Objectives: To evaluate referral rates for LTx based on pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and identify barriers associated with non-referral.
    Design: A single-center retrospective cohort study.
    Methods: The study consisted of ILD patients who performed PFT between 2014 and 2020. Patients with FVC < 80% or a DLCO < 40% were included in the study. Patients with absolute contraindications to LTx were excluded. Referral rates were computed, and a comparison was made between referred and non-referred subjects.
    Results: Out of 114 ILD patients meeting criteria for referral to LTx, 35 were referred (30.7%), and 7 proceeded to undergo LTx. Median time from PFT to referral for assessment was 255 days [interquartile range (IQR) 35-1077]. Median time from referral to LTx was 89 days (IQR 59-143). Referred patients were younger (
    Conclusion: There is under-referral of ILD patients who are eligible for LTx, which is associated with severe disease and missed opportunities for LTx. Further research is required to validate these findings.

    Abstract Background: Patients diagnosed with coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) who deteriorate to respiratory failure and require mechanical ventilation may later need to be weaned from the ventilator and undergo a rehabilitation process. The rate of weaning COVID-19 patients from mechanical ventilation is unknown.
    Objectives: To present our experience with ventilator weaning of COVID-19 patients in a dedicated facility.
    Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted of 18 patients hospitalized in a COVID-19 dedicated ventilator weaning unit.
    Results: Eighteen patients were hospitalized in the dedicated unit between 6 April and 19 May 2020. Of these, 88% (16/18) were weaned and underwent decannulation, while two patients deteriorated and were re-admitted to the intensive care unit. The average number of days spent in our department was 12. There was no statistically significant correlation between patient characteristics and time to weaning from ventilation or with the time to decannulation.
    Conclusions: Despite the high mortality of COVID-19 patients who require mechanical ventilation, most of the patients in our cohort were weaned in a relatively short period of time. Further large-scale studies are necessary to assess the cost effectiveness of dedicated COVID-19 departments for ventilator weaning.

    Abstract The inhibitory receptor PD-1 is expressed on T cells to inhibit select functions when ligated. The complete signaling mechanism downstream of PD-1 has yet to be uncovered. Here, we discovered phosphoprotein associated with glycosphingolipid-enriched microdomains 1 (PAG) is phosphorylated following PD-1 ligation and associate this with inhibitory T cell function. Clinical cohort analysis correlates low PAG expression with increased survival from numerous tumor types. PAG knockdown in T cells prevents PD-1-mediated inhibition of cytokine secretion, cell adhesion, CD69 expression, and ERK

    Abstract Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) are crucial for the success of immunotherapy, and their density can predict prognosis. It has now been shown that computer-based analysis of the spatial organization of TILs adds prognostic value in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer, possibly improving the treatment algorithm to prevent recurrence.
