Objective: To investigate the influencing factors of differentiation syndrome (DS) during induction chemotherapy for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), and establish a prediction model for DS in newly diagnosed APL patients, in order to guide clinical treatment.
Methods: The clinical data of 324 newly diagnosed APL patients were retrospectively analyzed, and the patients were divided into DS group and non-DS group according to whether or not DS was present. Statistically significant factors from comparison of the two groups were selected and included in univariate and multivariate logistic regression to explore the influencing factors of DS in APL.
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is typically associated with bleeding, whereas thromboembolism (TE) is a less common cause of early death (ED) and frequently underestimated complication. To investigate the clinical characteristics and predictive risk factors for TE, we conducted this retrospective study. Our study included 306 patients diagnosed with APL at the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University between May 2012 and May 2023.

Methods: The difference between normal tissue and keloid tissue can be detected using HE staining. Fibroblasts were treated with TGF-β, and then treated with the BRD4 inhibitor JQ1 and the STAT3 activator Colivelin TFA.
Background: Hemophilia A is caused by a deficiency of coagulation factor VIII in the body due to a defect in the F8 gene. The emergence of CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology will make it possible to alter the expression of the F8 gene in hemophiliacs, while achieving a potential cure for the disease.
Methods: Initially, we identified high-activity variants of FVIII and constructed donor plasmids using enzymatic digestion and ligation techniques.
Introduction: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening syndrome characterized by excessive inflammatory responses. This study explored the association between laboratory characteristics and outcomes in adult patients with HLH.
Methods: The adult patients diagnosed with HLH at the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from September 2016 to September 2021 were retrospectively analyzed in this study.
Trichomonas vaginalis (T. vaginalis) infection is the most common non-viral sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the world. It can cause male reproductive dysfunction and infertility.

The present study was conducted to find out whether age was an important factor for agomelatine in treating depressed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. In total, 193 depressed T2DM patients were included.

Background: The purpose of this study is to raise nonjudgmental awareness and attention to current experience of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) for the treatment of neonatal meconium aspiration syndrome (NMAS).
Methods: We will comprehensively search literature from the databases of Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, WorldSciNet, PsycINFO, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure from inception until July 1, 2019 without language limitation. We will also handle searching the bibliographies of all relevant studies found for unpublished literatures.
With the development of economy, the health of river ecosystem is severely threatened because of the increasing effects of human activities on river ecosystem. In this paper, the authors assessed the river ecosystem health in aspects of chemical integrity and biological integrity, using the criterion in water quality, nutrient, and benthic macroinvertebrates of 73 samples in Haihe River Basin. The research showed that the health condition of river ecosystem in Haihe River Basin was bad overall since the health situation of 72.

However, the influence of GCs on chondrocytes, which have a key role in skeletal development, has been rarely reported. HCS‑2/8 cells were selected as an in vitro model of human chondrocytes to assess the apoptosis induced by GCs and determine the role of the microRNA‑17‑92 (miR‑17‑92) cluster in the regulation of apoptosis.

Objective: To comprehend the abnormalities of JAK2, c-mp, EPOR, MPW515L/K and TET2 genes in patients with familial myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) and their relatives, and to explore mechanism of MPN pathogenesis.
Methods: The complete blood counts of 2 brothers diagnosed with MPN in out hospital and their family members (15 persons in together) were performed, and bone marrow (BM) examinations in patients with abnormal blood count were performed PCR, DNA sequencing were used to evaluate the expression of related genes.
Results: The elder brother was diagnosed with essential thrombocythemia (ET), the younger one was polycythemia vera (PV), and others had no clinical manifestation.

Host plant specificity depends on recognition of the host and the ability to discriminate it from nonhost plants. Chilo suppressalis (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), an important insect pest of rice, is considered to be polyphagous, although few papers have ever reported infestation of C. suppressalis on most of the recorded hosts.

These genes are involved in three types of biological processes, including immune complex processing, toll-like receptor function and type I interferon production, and immune signal transduction in lymphocytes, and they may contribute to the pathogenesis of SLE. To better understand the genetic risk factors of SLE, we investigated the associations of seven SLE susceptibility genes in a Chinese population, including FCGR3A, FCGR2A, TNFAIP3, TLR9, TREX1, ETS1 and TNIP1.

Based on the land use/cover data of 1995 and 2004, and by using ecosystem service value per unit area of different terrestrial ecosystem types in China, the dynamic changes of ecosystem service value in Pinggu District of Beijing were analyzed. The results showed that the total ecosystem service value of Pinggu District was decreased from 3.291 x 10(9) yuan in 1995 to 3.
