Patient Versus Physician Perspective in the Management of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia During Treatment with Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors.

Introduction: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a chronic disease with treatment-free remission (TFR) increasingly regarded as a feasible goal of treatment. However, various factors may influence adherence to international guidelines for CML management. This study aimed to compare the reporting of care between patients with CML and their treating doctors.

Identification and characterization of a new agar-degrading strain with the novel properties of saccharides inhibition and nitrogen fixation.

In this study, a new agar-degrading strain was isolated from soil with agar as a sole carbon source and energy. Based on its morphological, physiological, biochemical characterization and 16S rDNA sequence, the strain was identified as Streptomyces lavendulae UN-8. The extracellular agarase activity reached 0.

Skp2/p27 expression profile is correlated with Epstein-Barr virus status in extranodal nasal-type natural killer cell lymphoma.

Extranodal nasal-type natural killer cell lymphoma (ENKL) is a high-grade malignancy and is associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent infection. Little is known about its molecular abnormalities. Here, we studied the expression of Skp2 and p27 proteins in 48 cases of ENKL, and we evaluated their correlations with EBV status and clinical outcomes.
