Discussion on the Regulatory Test of Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Medical Devices and Their Technical Potential in Tumor Immunity

The deep integration of AI and immunotherapy is reshaping the paradigm of cancer diagnosis and treatment. From biomarker discovery to personalised treatment, from adverse reaction warnings to empowering grassroots communities, despite bottlenecks such as data silos, algorithm transparency, and ethical controversies, the technical potential of AI has already begun to emerge. This paper examines the evolution of global AI medical device policies and product release trends over the past decade, identifying the issues and challenges posed by the current regulatory landscape, including: first, the structural imbalance between the regulatory system and the rate of technological innovation; second, the double-standardisation dilemma between risk classification and clinical validation; and third, the ethical paradox of data governance and algorithmic transparency. The challenges faced include: first, Technology Fusion: AI at the Crossroads with Synthetic Biology and Nanotechnology. Second, Algorithm Transparency and Ethical Paradox. Third, In-Depth Application of Regulatory Technology. Fourth, Collaborative Innovation in Industrial Ecology. Based on this, this paper provides systematic recommendations for addressing the regulation of AI medical devices: first, Building a Dynamic Adaptive Technology Supervision System. Second, Perfecting the Full Life Cycle Clinical Evidence Chain. Third, Create an Open and Collaborative Industrial Innovation Ecosystem. Fourth, Deepen International Regulatory Coordination and Cooperation. Recommendations for the regulation of AI medical devices in the field of immunotherapy: First, Multi-Modality Imaging and Treatment Integrated Platform. Second, Intelligent Empowerment of Primary Care. Third, Global Collaboration and Data Sharing.

The Efficacy and Immunogenicity of COVID-19 Vaccine: Special Focus on Patients with Cancer

Research indicates that immunization is the most efficacious approach for stopping the transmission of COVID-19. This study aims to offer immunization recommendations for patients with autoimmune/autoinflammatory rheumatological disorders, immunodeficiencies, cancer, diabetes, chronic respiratory, and cardiovascular diseases. The intended audience includes doctors, medical personnel, and patients. This review study involved conducting a search in scholarly electronic databases, including ISI, Google Scholar, Scopus, and PubMed. The issue of COVID-19 vaccinations and the vaccination of patients with certain disorders was informed by the latest and pertinent authoritative publications published between 1980 and 2024. When autoimmune illness patients effectively manage their disease activity and there is no concurrent infection, they should receive the COVID-19 vaccination. Low-intensity immunosuppression does not reduce the antibody response to vaccinations. Immunization using all forms of vaccination, excluding live attenuated vaccines, is efficacious for all individuals with cancer, except for those undergoing anti-B cell therapy. Additionally, it is recommended to administer vaccinations to individuals who have underlying conditions such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, and diabetes, as these conditions heighten the chance of developing severe cases of COVID-19. To combat the COVID-19 virus, the most effective approach is to increase vaccination coverage in order to stimulate immune responses. This paper provides a thorough examination of the latest developments and existing challenges in the area of COVID-19 vaccines against cancer. Additionally, it explores the prospective future uses of vaccines in cancer immunotherapies.

Impact of Gut Microbiota on Immune System Regulation: A Narrative Review

The microbiota plays an essential role in the regulation of the natural immune system, influencing both innate and adaptive immunological responses. This review extracted information from available observational studies that explore the intricate cooperation between gut microbiota and immune system regulation across various health conditions, including Crohn’s disease, respiratory infections, autoimmune diseases, cancer, metabolic disorders, and infectious diseases. Key findings highlight how dysbiosis, a rotation in the microbiome composition or microbial imbalance, contributes to disease pathogenesis and immune dysregulation, while specific microbial taxa and their metabolites can serve as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. By analyzing these studies, the paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the gut microbiota’s impact on immune function and its potential implications for disease prevention and management. In conclusion, this review comprehensively elucidates the complex relationship between gut flora and immune system regulation across various health conditions. The synthesized findings underscore the profound impact of microbiota composition on immune responses, from influencing disease susceptibility and severity to potential therapeutic interventions. Key insights include the identification of microbiota-based biomarkers for predicting treatment outcomes and disease risks, highlighting the potential for personalized medicine approaches. However, the few available observational studies, such as study design variability and the complex nature of microbiota dynamics, necessitate further mechanistic research to validate causal relationships and optimize clinical applications. Moving forward, integrating microbiota-targeted therapies and dietary interventions tailored to individual microbial profiles holds promise for mitigating immune dysregulation and improving overall health outcomes.
