Prevalence and effect on survival of pre-treatment sarcopenia in patients with hematological malignancies: a meta-analysis.

Background & Aims: Evidence regarding the prevalence of pre-treatment sarcopenia and its impact on survival in patients with hematological malignancies (HM) varies across studies. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize this discrepancy.

Methods: PubMed, Embase and Cochrane library were systematically searched for relevant studies.

Impact of BCR-ABL1 Transcript Type on Outcome in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Patients Treated With Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors: A Pairwise and Bayesian Network Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of BCR-ABL1 transcript type on outcome in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).

Methods: PubMed, Embase and Cochrane library were systematically searched for relevant studies. Outcomes assessed were: major molecular response (MMR) at 6, 12, 18 and 60 months, deep molecular response (DMR) at 6, 12, 18 and 60 months, event-free survival (EFS), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and treatment-free remission (TFR).

Source apportionment of absorption enhancement of black carbon in different environments of China.

Black carbon (BC) is an important pollutant for both air quality and earth's radiation balance because of its strong absorption enhancement. The enhanced light absorption of BC caused by other pollutants is one of the most important sources of uncertainty in global radiative forcing. The light absorption of BC is highly dependent on the emission source and very few studies have been carried out for the source apportionment of BC absorption enhancement.

Light absorption enhancement of particulate matters and their source apportionment over the Asian continental outflow site and South Yellow Sea.

Light absorption enhancement of black carbon due to the aerosol mixing states is an important parameterization for climate modeling, while emission source contributions to the enhancement factor are unclear. An intensive campaign was conducted simultaneously at a China coastal site (Qingdao city) and maritime sites (South Yellow Sea, SYS) in August and Nov to Dec 2018. The absorption enhancement (E) of the black carbon was calculated using a two-step solvent dissolution protocol and found 1.
