    Abstract The complement system is a collection of soluble and membrane-bound proteins that together act as a powerful amplifier of the innate and adaptive immune systems. Although its role in infection is well established, complement is becoming increasingly recognized as a key contributor to sterile inflammation, a chronic inflammatory process often associated with noncommunicable diseases. In this context, damaged tissues release danger signals and trigger complement, which acts on a range of leukocytes to augment and bridge the innate and adaptive immune systems. Given the detrimental effect of chronic inflammation, the complement system is therefore well placed as an anti-inflammatory drug target. In this review, we provide a general outline of the sterile activators, effectors, and targets of the complement system and a series of examples (i.e., hypertension, cancer, allograft transplant rejection, and neuroinflammation) that highlight complement's ability to bridge the 2 arms of the immune system.

    Abstract Background and aims: Unhealthy diets were found to be the main contributor to the overweight problem among adolescents. In this study, we aim to identify the factors causing unhealthy eating habits in adolescents.
    Methods: School-aged children and adolescents participated in this cross-sectional observational study with additional school and parental consent. A self-administered survey was conducted by 30 primary schools and 25 secondary schools. Participants were asked about the frequency of consuming unhealthy food and the types of unhealthy food consumed. A descriptive analysis was performed to demonstrate the proportions of characteristics. The prevalence of the outcome among participants of various factors was also analyzed using separate binary regression models.
    Results: A total of 4884 responses were collected. Among primary school students (grade 4, mean age: 10.06), people who (1) were actively gaining weight (aOR: 1.651, 95% CI 1.006-2.708,
    Conclusion: Several lifestyle and health factors were significantly associated with unhealthy eating behaviors in school-aged children and adolescents in Hong Kong, sharing similarities with many other countries. In conjunction with implementing a policy that addresses factors for unhealthy eating habits, further research should investigate potential interventions targeting these factors to ultimately tackle the overweight and obesity concern for children and adolescents in Hong Kong.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious respiratory infection that is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Although most people are immunocompetent to the virus, a small group fail to mount an effective antiviral response and develop chronic infections that trigger hyperinflammation. This results in major complications, including acute respiratory distress syndrome, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and multiorgan failure, which all carry poor prognoses. Emerging evidence suggests that the complement system plays a key role in this inflammatory reaction. Indeed, patients with severe COVID-19 show prominent complement activation in their lung, skin, and sera, and those individuals who were treated with complement inhibitors all recovered with no adverse reactions. These and other studies hint at complement's therapeutic potential in these sequalae, and thus, to support drug development, in this review, we provide a summary of COVID-19 and review complement's role in COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome and coagulopathy.

    Abstract Patients receiving autologous chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy for multiple myeloma (MM) may require bridging therapy (BT) before CAR-T infusion to maintain some level of disease control. Alkylators, such as cyclophosphamide (Cy), are often used in regimens, either in high-intensity regimens, such as modified hyperCVAD (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone), or once-weekly regimens, such as KCd (carfilzomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone). However, there is no consensus regarding the optimal BT alkylator dose intensity in MM. We performed a single-center analysis of all instances of BT before planned autologous CAR-T for MM during a 5-year period ending in April 2022. We classified bridging regimens into 3 cohorts: (1) hyperfractionated Cy (HyperCy) with inpatient Cy every 12 to 24 hours or as a continuous i.v. infusion; (2) less intensive Cy dosing (WeeklyCy), such as KCd; and (3) NonCy, in which no alkylators were used in BT. Demographic, disease-related, and treatment-related characteristics were collected for all patients. The 3 BT cohorts were compared using the Fisher exact test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and log-rank test, as appropriate. We identified 70 discrete BT instances among 64 unique patients, including 29 (41%) with HyperCy, 23 (33%) with WeeklyCy, and 18 (26%) with NonCy. The median total Cy dosing during BT in the 3 groups were 2100 mg/m

    Abstract Childhood vaccination is crucial to protect young children from harmful infectious diseases. This study aimed to investigate the recent childhood immunization rate of recommended and additional vaccinations and identify the factors affecting the vaccination uptake of young children in Hong Kong. The self-administrated questionnaires were distributed to parents of toddlers aged 2 to 5. They were asked to provide information on (1) socioeconomic demographic factors; (2) experiences during pregnancy; and (3) the medical history of the toddler. A total of 1799 responses were collected. Children were more likely to be fully vaccinated when they were at a younger age (aOR = 0.61, 95% CI: 0.48-0.78,
