Background: Extensive use of antibiotics leads to widespread environmental pollution, endangering ecosystems, and human health. It is particularly concerning, posing global threats requiring urgent attention and action. In this regard, the shift to mass spectrometry in determining antibiotics is highly desirable.

The transition to mass spectrometry (MS) in the analysis of antibiotics in the marine environment is highly desirable, particularly in the enhancement of sensitivity for high-salinity (3.5 wt%) seawater samples. However, the persistence of complex operational procedures poses substantial challenges to this transition.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous hematopoietic tumor originated from hematopoietic stem cells. is an important receptor tyrosine kinase in cell signal transduction pathway and one of the common mutated genes in AML. AML patients with mutation have a poor prognosis and tendency to relapse.

Congenital erythrocytosis is a rare and hereditary disorder of red blood cell (RBC) production that can be caused by high oxygen affinity hemoglobin (Hb) variants. We applied a genetic approach including whole exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing. We identified a heterozygous β-globin gene (Hb San Diego or : c.

Ph-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a high-risk subtype of precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) with a gene expression profile and a high frequency of IKZF1 gene alteration similar to that of Ph-positive ALL, which is a clinically and biologically heterogeneous subtype of BCP-ALL. The prognosis correlats negatively with age increasing. The incidence of this "Ph-like" subtype may be higher in young adults.

A novel method was developed for studying the interaction between epirubicin hydrochloride (EPI) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) by fluorescence spectrometry. Fe O magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) synthesized and functionalized with thiol group were employed for the immobilization and separation of target BSA in reaction solutions. The concentrations of the non-immobilized BSA and unbound EPI were obtained separately by fluorescence spectrometry.

Magnetic core/shell Fe3O4/Au nanoparticles were used in the determination of drug binding to bovine serum albumin (BSA) using a fluorescence spectroscopic method. The binding constants and number of binding sites for protein with drugs were calculated using the Scatchard equation. Because of their superparamagnetic and biocompatible characteristics, magnetic core/shell Fe3O4/Au nanoparticles served as carrier proteins for fixing proteins.

This study was purposed to investigate the changes of peripheral blood T cells in children with acute leukemia at different stages and understand the immune status of children with leukemia. The CD4⁺, CD8⁺, CD4⁺/ CD8⁺ ratio, CD3⁺ and NK cells in 42 children with acute leukemia and 50 cases of normal children (as control group) were determined by flow cytometry at different periods after complete remission. The results showed that the CD3⁺ CD4⁺, CD8⁺ rate and CD4⁺/CD8⁺ ratio in newly diagnosed ALL and AML children were significantly lower than those in control group (P < 0.

The aim of this study was to analyze the hematopoietic chimerism after non-myeloablative allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (NAPBSCT). 28 patients received NAPBSCT were evaluated. The conditioning regimen included FBC (fludarabine, busulphan, cyclophosphamide) +/- Ara-C.

Survivin a novel member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein family, is overexpressed in most types of cancer but not in normal differentiated adult tissues. Its mRNA expression levels among hematogical malignancies are characteristic in each type, subtype and distinctive in different phases of disease, making it a reliable diagnostic marker for clinical stages. Recently, researches indicate that high levels of survivin expression are associated with a poor prognosis and may be involved in tumor resistance to multiple chemotherapeutic drugs.
