Introduction: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been extensively studied as a potential treatment for steroid refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). However, the majority of clinical trials have focused on bone marrow-derived MSCs.
Methods: In this study, we report the outcomes of 86 patients with grade III-IV (82.
Photoelectrochemistry represents a promising technique for bioanalysis, though its application for the detection of Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) has not been tapped. Herein, this work reports the exploration of creating oxygen vacancies (Ov) in situ onto the surface of BiOS nanosheets via the attachment of dopamine (DA), which underlies a new anodic PEC sensing strategy for FEN1 detection in label-free, immobilization-free and high-throughput modes. In connection to the target-mediated rolling circle amplification (RCA) reaction for modulating the release of the DA aptamer to capture DA, the detection system showed good performance toward FEN1 analysis with a linear detection range of 0.

Exploring new sensing strategies for cathodic photoelectrochemistry is extremely demanding yet hugely challenging. This article puts forward a unique idea to incorporate an enzymatic reaction-invoked surface polarization effect (SPE) on the surface of BiOIO to implement an innovative cathodic photoelectrochemical (PEC) bioanalysis.

Decitabine (Dec) monotherapy has demonstrated improved overall response rates in MDS and acute myeloid leukaemia, although these responses were not durable. This study aimed to preliminary evaluate the efficacy of a Dec-containing allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) preconditioning regimen in TP53-mutant MDS.

Background: So far, few have concerned miR-497-5p in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC).
Methods: MiR-497-5p expression in LUSC was measured by qRT-PCR. Its impacts on tumor-related cell behaviors were investigated by CCK8 assay, scratch healing assay, flow cytometry and Transwell invasion methods.
Objectives: At present, reinfusions of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell have exhibited limited efficacy, while their efficacy on extramedullary relapse remains to be further elucidated in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Although combination with IL-15 demonstrated the potential to enhance antitumor activity of CAR-T, the efficacy of this approach remains to be validated clinically.
Methods: We reported a patient with B-ALL with extramedullary relapse after allogeneic stem cell transplantation and who was resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Hypomethylating agents, decitabine (DAC) and azacitidine, can act as prophylactic and pre-emptive approaches after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and a non-intensive bridging approach before allo-HSCT. However, they are rarely used as a part of conditioning regimens in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This retrospectively study included a total of 65 patients (median, 37; range, 13-63) with relapsed or refractory AML who were treated by allo-HSCT after myeloablative conditioning regimens without or with DAC (high-dose DAC schedule, 75 mg/m on day -9 and 50 mg/m on day -8; low-dose DAC schedule, 25 mg/m/day on day -10 to -8).

Although thymus-independent donor-derived T cell expansion may determine the occurrence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and relapse after transplantation, the characteristics and dynamics of the expansion process remain unclear. To address this issue, we monitored T cell receptor β repertoire at day 0, day 28, and day 61 after transplantation in 30 patients with hematologic malignancies by next-generation sequencing. The clonality index showed an increasing clonality over time (P = .
