🚀 Exciting News in AI-Powered Endoscopy! 🚀 Professor Ji Hyun Kim from Gangnam Severance Hospital has co-developed the AI endoscopy system, #WAYMEDEndo. This innovative tool helps detect gastrointestinal abnormalities, like gastric cancer and colon polyps, regardless of an endoscopist's experience level. In recent research, WAYMED Endo outperformed experienced endoscopists in predicting the depth of early gastric cancer invasion, boasting an AUC of 0.961 compared to the human AUC of 0.7368. This AI-driven accuracy can significantly enhance treatment strategies and patient outcomes. This March, WAYMED Endo received third-class approval from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, making it the world's first medical software to analyze the depth of gastric cancer invasion. Professor Kim emphasizes that accurate invasion depth prediction is crucial for optimal treatment, and AI can provide consistent, reliable information to support personalized patient care.

【Award-winning #HKBU Invention: Quality Control Marker for Use in Authentication of Edible Bird’s Nest】Consuming bird's nest for health benefits is common, but counterfeit products are on the rise. To address this issue, Prof. Han Quanbin from the School of Chinese Medicine at HKBU has dedicated his efforts to developing professional authentication methods.   Prof. Han has successfully identified a series of peptide markers in edible bird's nest hydrolysates, which can improve traditional identification methods by overcoming the limitations of sialic acid markers. Traditional methods faced challenges in distinguishing between white and grass EBN, impacting quality control. Prof. Han’s invention allows qualitative and quantitative authentication of EBN, distinguishing between white and grass types. This breakthrough enhances the authentication process and safeguards EBN integrity in the market.   Prof. Han’s authentication method has clinched the Silver Medal at the 49th Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions.   School of Chinese Medicine, HKBU #KTO #KnowledgeTransferOffice #Geneva #Geneva2024 #GenevaInventions #GenevaExhibition #Inventions #Innovations #KnowledgeTransfer #TechnologyTranslation #AwardWinning #ResearchExcellence #BirdNest #EdibleBirdNest #Authentication #EBN #Health #Prevention #HKTech #Science #ChineseMedicine #CM   Connect with us ITPR - Institute for Innovation, Translation and Policy Research @HKBU

### China's Breakthrough in CAR-T Therapy for CNS Lymphoma A multi-center retrospective study led by Professor Jianqing Mi from Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, has demonstrated the real-world effectiveness of Relmacabtagene Autoleucel (Relma-cel) for patients with refractory/relapsed central nervous system lymphoma (CNSL). This study, the largest of its kind, included data from 12 centers across China and was published in the *Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer*. ### Study Overview The study included 22 patients aged 18 and above, diagnosed with CD19+ refractory or relapsed CNSL. Most patients had undergone various treatments before, and 12 had primary CNSL while 10 had secondary CNSL. The median age was 56, with a significant portion being high-risk patients. ### Treatment and Response Patients received Relma-cel with a median interval of 32 days between apheresis and infusion. Thirteen patients had a single CAR-T cell infusion, and nine had autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) with CAR-T infusion. The overall response rate (ORR) was 90.9%, with a complete response (CR) rate of 68.2%. All patients achieved CNS response, with 72.7% achieving CNS CR. ### Follow-Up and Outcomes After a median follow-up of 316 days, 81.3% of the 16 patients who achieved CNS response remained alive and in remission, with a one-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate of 64.4% and an overall survival (OS) rate of 79.2%. ### Safety and Tolerability Relma-cel showed an acceptable safety profile, with cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in 72.7% of patients, mostly grade 1 or 2, and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) in 36.4%, also mostly grade 1 or 2. There were no CAR-T therapy-related deaths. ### CAR-T Cell Dynamics and Combined Therapy Relma-cel showed significant expansion in the peripheral blood and cerebrospinal fluid post-infusion. Patients receiving additional immunotherapies exhibited CAR-T cell re-expansion, suggesting synergistic effects. ### Conclusion This study underscores the clinical efficacy and manageable safety profile of Relma-cel for treating CNSL, highlighting the potential benefits of combining CAR-T therapy with other immunotherapies. These findings suggest the need for larger, randomized studies to further validate these results and explore CAR-T therapy as a consolidation treatment for high-risk CNSL patients. China's advancements in medical research are crucial in improving global healthcare standards. ����To assess whether the condition is suitable for CAR-T or clinic therapy, you can submit Advanced Medicine In China for preliminary evaluation!
