The functionally inert, non-immunogenic cell surface marker derived from human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFRt) is a promising safety switch that has been used in multiple clinical constructs and can be targeted by cetuximab, a clinically available monoclonal antibody. However, this approach requires high and persistent cell surface expression of EGFRt to ensure that antibody-mediated depletion of engineered cells is rapid and complete. Here we show that incorporating a short juxtamembrane sequence into the EGFRt polypeptide enhances its expression on the surface of T cells and their susceptibility to antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Incorporating this optimized variant (EGFRopt) into bicistronic and tricistronic CAR designs results in more rapid <i>in vivo</i> elimination of CAR T cells and robust termination of their effector activity compared to EGFRt.

It is a matter of debate, whether they are a variant of squamous cell carcinoma or benign neoplasms. The exact etiology is uncertain, but is believed to be multifactorial, and is reportedly associated with trauma. This report describes an elderly woman with multiple keratoacanthomas developing at sites scratched by a pet cat. Methods: A case of a 92-year-old woman with Alzheimer’s disease, presented with multiple rapidly growing, bizarre looking lesions on the left leg. The lesions appeared several weeks after being scratched by a cat. Results: Tissue cultures for bacteria, fungi and atypical mycobacteria were negative. Histopathologic examination was consistent with keratoacanthoma. Conclusion: The development of Keratoacanthomas (KAs) have been associated with actinic damage, genetic susceptibility, carcinogens, immunosuppression and viruses. It also seems that keratoacanthoma has predilection for sites with previous trauma. Our case is a further evidence that trauma and keratoacanthoma are closely related.","PeriodicalId":73664,"journal":{"name":"Journal of clinical case reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45494639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An abdominal and pelvic CT shows a very large ovarian mass. Asalpino-oophorectomy was carried out with regression of symptoms and signs and improvement in laboratory exams. The biopsy showed Juvenile Granulosa Cell Tumors (JGCT). Discussion: Due to an increase in the levels of estradiol and no increase in the gonadotropins (LH, FSH), advanced bone age and height age are compatible with the chronic age of 2 years old, so we think about peripheral precocious puberty. Due to abdominal swelling and patient age (small age), we suspect malignancy, so we did a CT scan and sonography of the pelvis.

Many flaps and graft procedure has been tried to treat an ankyloglossia sequelae, and the effective procedure was a forearm free flap. Lipofilling was performed for a temporal defect after a temporal myocutaneous flap. A common carotid embolism was the source of a severe unilateral stroke, leading patient to the death 15 days after initial surgery. Discussion and conclusion: Reverse-flow mechanism explains the artery tropism of fat embolism in the face, contrary to veinous tropism for fat embolism in the body.
