    Abstract Purpose: The complex strategy of hypo-fractionated radiotherapy (HFRT) in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) can stimulate a potential systemic antitumor response; however, the abscopal effect is always precluded by the tumor microenvironment, which may limit sufficient T-cell infiltration of distant nonirradiated tumors for certain kinds of inhibitory factors, such as regulatory T-cells (Tregs). Additionally, low-dose cyclophosphamide (LD-CYC) can specifically kill regulatory Tregs and strongly synergize antigen-specific immune responses, which could promote an abscopal effect.
    Materials and methods: We explored whether a triple regimen consisting of HFRT, ICI, and LD-CYC could achieve a better systemic antitumor response in bilateral mouse tumor models.
    Result: Our data demonstrate that LD-CYC combined with HFRT and antiprogrammed cell death ligand 1 (PDL-1) therapy could enhance the abscopal effect than only HFRT/antiPDL-1 or HFRT alone. Surprisingly, repeat CYC doses cannot further restrain tumor proliferation but can prolong murine overall survival, as revealed by the major pathologic responses. These results are associated with increased CD8 + effector T-cell infiltration, although LD-CYC did not upregulate PDL-1 expression in the tumor.
    Conclusions: Compared with traditional strategies, for the first time, we demonstrated that a triple treatment strategy remarkably increased the number of radiation-induced tumor-infiltrating CD8 + T-cells, effectively decreasing infiltrating Tregs, and promoting an abscopal effect. Thus, we describe a novel and effective therapeutic approach by combining multiple strategies to target several tumor-mediated immune inhibitory mechanisms.

    Abstract Background: Health financing produce a broad range of healthy life expectancy (HLE) disparities. In West Africa, limited research exists on the association between health financing and HLE at ecological level during a consecutive period of time from the spatial perspectives. This study aimed to determine the existence, quantify the magnitude, and interpret the association between health financing and HLE.
    Methods: A Dynamic Spatial Durbin model was used to explain the association between HLE and health financing level and structure during 1995-2019 in West Africa. Spatial spillover effects were introduced to interpret the direct and indirect effects caused by health financing level and structure on HLE during the long and short terms.
    Results: Spatial dependence and clustering on HLE were observed in West Africa. Although the overall level of total health spending, government health spending, out-of-pocket health spending, and development assistance for health (DAH) increased from 1995 to 2019, government health spending per person experienced a declining trend. Out-of-pocket health spending per total health spending was the highest among other sources of health financing, decreasing from 57% during 1995-1999 to 42% during 2015-2019. Total health spending and out-of-pocket health spending affected HLE positively and negatively in the long term, respectively. Government health spending and prepaid private health spending per person had positive effects on local and adjacent country HLE in the short-term, while DAH had negative effects on the same. The short-term spatial spillover effects of government health spending, DAH, and prepaid private health spending per person were more pronounced than the long-term effects.
    Conclusions: Spatial variations of HLE existed at country-level in West Africa. Health financing regarding government, non-government, as well as external assistance not only affected HLE disparities at local scale but also among nearby countries. Policymakers should optimise supportive health financing transition policies and narrow the national gap to reduce health disparities and increase HLE. Externalities of policy of those health financing proxies should be took into consideration to promote health equity to improve global health governance.

    Abstract Background: West African countries experienced the highest under-5 mortality rate (U5MR), the lowest life expectancy, and the poorest economic development. This study aimed to explore the spatiotemporal trend of U5MR and spatial spillover effects of health resources and services to provide a basis for establishing health policies and international cooperative mechanisms in West Africa.
    Methods: We retrieved data from the World Health Organization's Global Health Observatory, the United Nations Human Development Report, and the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. Joinpoint regression analysis and Moran's
    Results: The long-term downward trends in U5MR were divided into multiple segments by two or three change points in 2013, 2014, or 2015, and the annual percentage change after 2015 was higher than before 2015. Global Moran's
    Conclusion: This study revealed the spatiotemporal trend of U5MR in West African countries and spatial spillover effects of health resources and services. Promoting economic development, increasing health human resources, health expenditure, vaccination rate, antenatal care coverage, and the proportion of health professionals attending births not only reduced the local U5MR but also exerted spatial spillover effects on adjacent countries. The West African Health Organization may consider regional spillover mechanisms to develop regional health policy and intervention cooperation mechanisms, which will contribute to achieving the sustainable development goal on U5MR, Africa Agenda 2063, and universal health coverage.

    Abstract Purpose: To investigate the association of free triiodothyronine to free thyroxine (FT3/FT4) ratio with 5-year mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) through 2001-2002 and 2007-2012.
    Methods: Two thousand four hundred twenty-four patients with CKD stage 1-5 were included. Patients' baseline characteristics were collected. Cox proportional hazards models were used to investigate the association of FT3/FT4 ratio with 5-year all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Subgroup analysis was performed.
    Results: Within 5 years of follow-up duration, 425 (17.53%) deaths were recorded, and 154 patients died from cardiovascular disease. A J-shaped association between FT3/FT4 ratio and 5-year mortality was observed. After fully adjustment, the elevated FT3/FT4 ratio was significantly associated with a decreased 5-year all-cause mortality risk (HR: 0.79, 95% CI 0.63-0.99) among patients with CKD stage 1-5 when FT3/FT4 ratio < 4.71, and is significantly associated with an increased 5-year all-cause mortality risk in CKD patients with advanced CKD stages or low UACR when FT3/FT4 ratio ≥ 4.71 (HR: 2.74, 95% CI 1.20-6.29; HR: 3.09, 95% CI 1.12-8.57, respectively). The elevated FT3/FT4 ratio also showed a J-shaped association with the 5-year cardiovascular mortality which disappears after fully adjustment.
    Conclusion: The FT3/FT4 ratio is closely associated with 5-year mortality risk among patients with CKD, indicating a potential role of FT3/FT4 ratio as a biomarker for mortality prediction in CKD patients.
