    Abstract Hypothesis and background: Recently, the indication of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has expanded beyond rotator cuff arthropathy to include treatment of complex acute proximal humeral fracture (PHF). Limited previous studies have compared the long-term clinical and functional outcomes of patients undergoing RTSA for PHF vs. elective indications for degenerative conditions. The purpose of this study was to compare implant survivorship, reasons for revision and functional outcomes in patients undergoing RTSA for acute PHF with those undergoing elective RTSA in a population-based cohort study.
    Methods: Prospectively collected data from the New Zealand Joint Registry from 1999 to 2021 and identified 6862 patients who underwent RTSA. Patients were categorized by preoperative indication, including PHF (10.8%), rotator cuff arthropathy (RCA) (44.5%), osteoarthritis (OA) (34.1%), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (5.5%), and old traumatic sequelae (5.1%). Revision-free implant survival and functional outcomes (Oxford Shoulder Scores [OSSs] at the 6-month, 5-year, and 10-year follow-ups) were adjusted by age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists class, and surgeon experience and compared.
    Results: Revision-free implant survival at 10 years for RTSA for PHF was 97.3%, compared with 96.1%, 93.7%, 92.8%, and 91.3% for OA, RCA, RA and traumatic sequelae, respectively. When compared with RTSA for PHF, the adjusted risk of revision was significantly higher for traumatic sequelae (hazard ratio = 2.3, P = .023) but not for other elective indications. The most common reason for revision in the PHF group was dislocation or instability (42.9%), which was similar to the OA (47.6%) and traumatic sequelae (33.3%) groups. At 6 months post-surgery, OSSs were significantly lower for the PHF group compared with the RCA, OA, and RA groups (31.1 vs. 35.6, 37.7, and 36.5, respectively, P < .001), and similar to traumatic sequelae (31.7, P = .431). At 5 years, OSSs were only significantly lower for PHF compared with OA (37.4 vs. 41.0, P < .001) and there was no difference between the PHF and other groups. At 10 years, there were no significant differences between groups.
    Conclusions: RTSA for PHF demonstrated reliable long-term survivorship and functional outcomes compared with elective indications. Despite lower functional outcomes in the early postoperative period for the PHF group, implant survivorship was similar in patients undergoing RTSA for the primary indication of acute PHF compared with RCA, OA, and RA and superior compared to the primary indication of traumatic sequelae.

  3. Article ; Online: Releasing the restraints of Vγ9Vδ2 T-cells in cancer immunotherapy.

    Abstract Objectives: Vγ9Vδ2 T-cells are a subset of T-cells with a crucial role in immunosurveillance which can be activated and expanded by multiple means to stimulate effector responses. Little is known about the expression of checkpoint molecules on this cell population and whether the ligation of these molecules can regulate their activity. The aim of this study was to assess the expression of both activatory and inhibitory receptors on Vγ9Vδ2 T-cells to assess potential avenues of regulation to target with immunotherapy.
    Methods: Expression of various activatory and inhibitory receptors was assessed on Vγ9Vδ2 T-cells by flow cytometry following activation and expansion using zoledronic acid (ZA) and Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). Expression of these markers and production of effector molecules was also examined following co-culture with various tumour cell targets. The effect of immune checkpoint blockade on Vγ9Vδ2 T-cells was also explored.
    Results: Vγ9Vδ2 T-cells expressed high levels of activatory markers both at baseline and following stimulation. Vγ9Vδ2 T-cells expressed variable levels of inhibitory checkpoint receptors with many being upregulated following stimulation. Expression of these markers is further modulated upon co-culture with tumour cells with changes reflecting activation and effector functions. Despite their high expression of inhibitory receptors when cultured with tumour cells expressing cognate ligands there was no effect on Vδ2+ T-cell cytotoxic capacity or cytokine production with immune checkpoint blockade.
    Conclusions: Our work suggests the expression of checkpoint receptors present on Vγ9Vδ2 T-cells which may provide a mechanism with the potential to be utilised by tumour cells to subvert Vγ9Vδ2 T-cell cytotoxicity. This work suggests important candidates for blockade by ICI therapy in order to increase the successful use of Vγ9Vδ2 T-cells in immunotherapy.

    Abstract Vδ2+ T cells can recognize malignantly transformed cells as well as those infected with mycobacteria. This cross-reactivity supports the idea of using mycobacteria to manipulate Vδ2+ T cells in cancer immunotherapy. To date, therapeutic interventions using Vδ2+ T cells in cancer have involved expanding these cells in or ex vivo using zoledronic acid (ZA). Here, we show that the mycobacterium Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) also causes Vδ2+ T-cell expansion in vitro and that resulting Vδ2+ cell populations are cytotoxic toward tumour cell lines. We show that both ZA and BCG-expanded Vδ2+ cells effectively killed both Daudi and THP-1 cells. THP-1 cell killing by both ZA and BCG-expanded Vδ2+ cells was enhanced by treatment of targets cells with ZA. Although no difference in cytotoxic activity between ZA- and BCG-expanded Vδ2+ cells was observed, BCG-expanded cells degranulated more and produced a more diverse range of cytokines upon tumour cell recognition compared to ZA-expanded cells. ZA-expanded Vδ2+ cells were shown to upregulate exhaustion marker CD57 to a greater extent than BCG-expanded Vδ2+ cells. Furthermore, ZA expansion was associated with upregulation of inhibitory markers PD-1 and TIM3 in a dose-dependent manner whereas PD-1 expression was not increased following expansion using BCG. Intradermal BCG vaccination of rhesus macaques caused in vivo expansion of Vδ2+ cells. In combination with the aforementioned in vitro data, this finding suggests that BCG treatment could induce expansion of Vδ2+ T cells with enhanced anti-tumour potential compared to ZA treatment and that either ZA or BCG could be used intratumourally as a means to potentiate stronger anti-tumour Vδ2+ T-cell responses.

    Abstract Immune checkpoint blockades have recently emerged as a breakthrough treatment for solid tumors showing high response rates and long durability. In melanoma, the combination of ipilimumab with nivolumab showed high efficacy. However, still half the patients do not respond to this treatment. In order to increase the therapeutic ratio in melanoma and other cancers, different approaches are under evaluation. Three relevant questions are at the moment driving the research community: how to maximize benefit while minimizing toxicity; how to better identify patients who are more likely to benefit from immunotherapy; how to convert nonresponders into responders. In this review we summarize the most recent findings and we outline the most likely future challenges.

    Abstract Non-linear mathematics or 'chaos' theory was first applied in the prediction of complex systems such as the weather. Chaotic systems exhibit not only apparently random unpredictability, but also a degree of determinism, in that randomness remains confined within specific parameters. Biological systems manifest many of the features of chaotic systems, including the inherent repetition of self, fractal structure, and the existence of strange attractors. In this article, the interaction between a tumour and the immune system is examined with regard to the capacity for immunotherapy to influence these two complex systems beneficially. It is postulated that judicious immunization may lead to profound changes in the stability of this interaction, in the favour of the immune system's ability to recognize tumour cells.
