The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays an important role in the occurrence and progression of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Single-cell sequencing has enabled researchers to explore the correlation between TME subgroups and tumor prognosis, distinguish the existence of drug-resistant subgroups of tumor cells, and unravel the complexity of the AML cellular heterogeneity. We used bone marrow immune cell enrichment analysis from public databases to screen prognostic genes, construct prognostic models, and validate their prognostic significance on independent external datasets and patient samples.

Recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) is recommended for refractory immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). To date, however, few studies have investigated rhTPO treatment during pregnancy.

Tumor-related PNP most commonly precedes the detection of a hematological malignancy, with some cases seen during disease remission following cytotoxic drug therapy or radiotherapy. The lung is the most frequently-involved site in PNP, second only to the eyes, and involvement is seen in 59.

We conducted this matched case-control study to identify the risk factors for LZD-induced thrombocytopenia in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) during the period of myelosuppression.
Methods: We retrospectively retrieved laboratory and clinical data from the medical records of 180 Chinese with AML.
