Introduction: The prognosis of patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) (very high risk) is poor.HLA-mismatched allogeneic T-cell infusion which is called micro-transplantation can not only shorten the time of bone marrow suppression, but also improve the treatment response of patients.
Case Presentation: A 74-year-old woman presented with fatigue and showed pancytopenia on routine blood count.
Microbial degradation of dyes is vital to understanding the fate of dyes in the environment. In this study, a fungal strain A-3 and a bacterial strain L-6, which were identified as and , respectively, had been proven to efficiently degrade crystal violet (CV) dye. The decolorization of CV dye by fungal and bacterial cocultivation was investigated.

Materials And Methods: Patients ( = 60) undergoing open gastrectomy were allocated randomly to a usual care (UC) group ( = 30) or an EA group ( = 30). Patients in the EA group were given bilateral EA on ST-36 (), ST-37 (), and ST-39 () within 30 minutes before the surgery.
In this study, a ligninolytic enzyme-producing strain F5 was isolated and identified as Bacillus thuringiensis, which can efficiently degrade methylene blue (MB) dye. The optimal pH, temperature, rotation speed, NaCl concentration, and inoculum of strain F5 for MB degradation were pH 6.0, 30 °C, 140 rpm, 10 g/L NaCl, 4% inoculum (v/v), and the strain F5 had salt tolerance, the MB decolorization rate reached 95% after 12 h.

Methods: We carried out a prospective, multicenter, single-arm clinical trial. Totally of 25 patients were enrolled, including 17 AML patients and 8 MDS patients.
Celery (Apium graveolens) is one of the most widely grown vegetables in the world. A survey in Anding District of Gansu Province in 2019 showed that the incidence of celery leaf spot was 25%-45%. The disease mainly occurs in late June and July.
