The Combination of Immune Checkpoint Blockade and Angiogenesis Inhibitors in the Treatment of Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has become a standard treatment for Pulls non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).However, most patients with NSCLC do not benefit from these treatments.Abnormal vasculature is a hallmark of solid tumors and is involved in tumor immune escape.These abnormalities stem from the increase in the expression of pro-angiogenic

Effects of cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation on upper limb motor function after stroke: study protocol for the pilot of a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a technique that can noninvasively modulate neural states in a targeted brain region.As cerebellar activity levels are associated with upper limb motor improvement after stroke, the cerebellum is a plausible target of tDCS.However, the effect of tDCS remains unclear.Here, we desi
