Primary seminal vesicle lymphoma is a remarkably rare condition, predominantly manifesting as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Due to its rarity and nonspecific clinical presentations, it is often misdiagnosed or overlooked. Here, we report a case of a 68-year-old male diagnosed with primary seminal vesicle lymphoma, coinciding with prostate cancer.

Chidamide, a selective histone deacetylase inhibitor, shows promise as a targeted therapy for R/R DLBCL by targeting abnormal epigenetic changes associated with poor prognosis.
Methods: A cohort of 27 ineligible patients with R/R DLBCL participated in an open - label, single - arm study.
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common pathological type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and is closely associated with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection status and hepatitis B X (HBx) gene integration. This project investigated the cellular biological effects and molecular mechanisms responsible for lymphomagenesis and the progression of HBx integration in DLBCL. The data showed that clinical DLBCL cells demonstrated HBx integration, and the sequencing analysis of integrated sites validated HBx integration in the constructed HBx-transfected cells.

This phase 2 study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the PLD-containing CHOP regimen in newly diagnosed patients with aggressive peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL).
Methods: Patients received PLD, cyclophosphamide, vincristine/vindesine, plus prednisone every 3 weeks for up to 6 cycles.
Objective: The existing Central Nervous System-International Prognostic Index (CNS-IPI) provides insufficient guidance for predicting central nervous system (CNS) relapse in individuals with primary breast diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This retrospective cohort study sought to examine the potential of the stage-modified IPI in predicting CNS relapse within this specific patient population.
Patients And Methods: We examined the baseline characteristics of 76 consecutive patients diagnosed with primary breast DLBCL, calculating the stage-modified IPI score for each individual.
Fetal sex hormone homeostasis disruption could lead to reproductive and developmental abnormalities. However, previous studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the association of maternal per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure with fetal sex hormone levels. A total of 277 mother-infant pairs from the Guangxi Zhuang Birth Cohort Study between 2015 and 2019 were selected.

We aimed to investigate the relevant risk factors for PIBO and develop a predictive nomogram for PIBO in children with SAP. This prospective study analysed the clinical data of hospitalised children with SAP and categorised them into the PIBO and non-PIBO groups.

However, the effects of maternal exposure to bisphenols during pregnancy on bone health in preschool children remain unknown. We aimed to assess the effects of prenatal exposure to single and multiple bisphenols on bone health in preschool children.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between ultraprocessed food consumption and cognitive function among preschool children in China.
Methods: A total of 325 children aged 4-7 years were included from Guangxi Zhuang Birth Cohort in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China.
Background: Anticoagulation treatment after lower limb surgery is one of the key methods to avoid thrombosis, and low-molecular-weight heparin is the treatment that is most frequently used in clinical practice. But one uncommon side effect of low-molecular-weight heparin is heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), which can develop into thrombosis if not caught early or managed incorrectly.
Case Summary: We present a case of a patient who underwent hip arthroplasty and experienced thrombocytopenia due to HIT on the 9 d following the application of low-molecular-weight heparin anticoagulation.
Background: We previously reported results of a pooled analysis of two zanubrutinib studies in relapsed or refractory (R/R) MCL showing better survival outcomes when zanubrutinib is used in second-line versus later-line. Here, we present an updated pooled analysis with a longer follow-up of 35.2 months.

An unanchored matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) was performed in R/R CLL/SLL patients. Individual patient data from zanubrutinib trial (BGB-3111-205) were adjusted to match the aggregated data from the orelabrutinib trial (ICP-CL-00103).

This study aims to investigate the efficacy and tolerance of bendamustine hydrochloride developed in native Chinese corporation in the treatment of patients with R/R iNHL.
Methods: A total of 101 patients from 19 centers were enrolled in this study from July 2016 to February 2019.
Background: Recent studies indicate that cell mechanics are associated with malignancy through its impact on cell migration and adhesion. Gliomas are the most common primary malignant brain tumors. Low-grade gliomas (LGGs) include diffuse LGGs (WHO grade II) and intermediate-grade gliomas (WHO grade III).

Background: Primary breast diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PB-DLBCL) is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) with limited data on the clinical features and prognostic factors.
Patients And Methods: A consecutive cohort of patients with PB-DLBCL was retrospectively analyzed in our hospital from February 1997 through July 2018. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS) contributing to any cause.
Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a common malignant brain tumor with high mortality. It is urgently necessary to develop a new treatment because traditional approaches have plateaued.
Purpose: Here, we identified an immune-related gene (IRG)-based prognostic signature to comprehensively define the prognosis of GBM.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between meteorological factors and Human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV-3) infection among hospitalized children.
Methods: All hospitalized children with acute lower respiratory tract infections were tested for viral pathogens and enrolled, at the second affiliated hospital of Wenzhou medical university, between 2008 and 2017. Meteorological data were directly obtained from Wenzhou Meteorology Bureau's nine weather stations and expressed as the mean exposure for each 10-day segment (average daily temperatures, average daily relative humidity, rainfall, rainfall days, and wind speed).
We aimed to assess HKII expression and its prognostic significance in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. The HKII protein level was determined by immunohistochemistry in 159 newly diagnosed DLBCL patients, and its relationship with overall response rate, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) was analyzed. HKII was expressed in 95 DLBCL patients (59.

Methods: A population-based cohort of 471 patients with HBV-related cirrhosis was retrospectively enrolled between 2009 and 2019.
Background: R-CHOP with or without radiotherapy is the standard treatment for limited-stage diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). To prevent overtreatment, we assessed whether four cycles of CHOP plus six applications of rituximab was adequate with negative interim PET/CT and the role of consolidation radiotherapy specifically for patients with Waldeyer's ring DLBCL. One hundred and twenty-nine patients with limited-stage DLBCL were enrolled in this open-label, nonrandomized, single-arm, phase 2 clinical trial (NCT01804127).
