Background: Pseudouridine (Ψ), a C5-glycoside isomer of uridine, stands as one of the most prevalent RNA modifications in all RNA types. Distinguishing from the C-N bond linking uridine to ribose, the link between Ψ and ribose is a C-C bond, endowing Ψ modified RNA distinct properties and functions in various biological processes. The conversion of uridine to Ψ is governed by pseudouridine synthases (PUSs).

N6-methyladenosine participates in RNA splicing, nuclear export, translation, and degradation through regulation by methyltransferases, methylation readers, and demethylases, affecting messenger RNA stability and translation efficiency. Through the dynamic and reversible regulatory network composed of "writers, erasers, and readers," N6-methyladenosine modification plays a unique role in the process of hematopoiesis.

Thus, we aimed to investigate whether surgery can enhance the prognosis of patients with stage I primary parotid gland lymphoma using large sample data.
Methods: From 1998 to 2015, we searched the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program database and extracted information regarding patients with stage I primary parotid gland lymphoma; we classified these patients into surgery and nonsurgery groups.
Background: CD38 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is relatively highly expressed on multiple myeloma (MM) cells, and CD38-targeting antibodies use pleiotropic mechanisms to kill MM cells. Immunotherapy, with an increased quality of response and acceptable toxicity, shows tremendous potential for treating MM. This research field study aimed to analyze all the relevant literature via bibliometrics to identify its course of development and structural relationships.

Objective: To investigate the toxicity management and efficacy evaluation of BCMA-chimeric antigen receptor T cells(CART) in the treatment of relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (MM).
Methods: The efficacy and adverse reactions of 21 patients with MM who received BCMA-CART treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from December 2017 to September 2020 were evaluated, and the efficacy assessment and survival analysis for high-risk patients and non-high-risk patients were evaluated.
Results: After infusion of BCMA-CART cells in 21 MM patients, the number of effective cases was 17, of which the complete remission (sCR/CR) was 10, and the partial remission (VGPR/PR) was 7.
