Real-world experience with venetoclax-based therapy for patients with myeloid sarcoma.

Background: The treatment of myeloid sarcoma (MS) is challenging and has not markedly improved patient prognosis. The introduction of venetoclax (VEN) has changed the treatment of MS, and venetoclax-based therapy has been described as very promising in several case reports.

Methods: In this retrospective study, we analyzed the treatment outcomes of 14 patients with MS treated with venetoclax-based therapy at The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from January 2020 to October 2023 RESULTS: The cohort consisted of 7 (50%) women and 7 (50%) men with an average age of 37.

Advances in traditional Chinese herbal medicine and their pharmacodynamic mechanisms in cancer immunoregulation: a narrative review.

Background And Objective: The cancer-immunity cycle (CIC) is defined as a series of progressive events that cause an anticancer immune response leading to the killing of the cancer cell. The concept of CIC has important guiding significance for the clinical and basic tumor immunotherapy research. As one of the methods of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) has shown unique advantages in multitarget and multipathway immune regulation.

SCAMP2/5 as diagnostic and prognostic markers for acute myeloid leukemia.

The secretory carrier-associated membrane proteins (SCAMPs) are associated with the development of multiple human cancers. The role of SCAMPs in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), however, remains to be identified. In the present study, we explored expression patterns and prognostic value of SCAMPs and network analysis of SCAMPs-related signaling pathways in AML using Oncomine, GEPIA, cBioPortal, LinkedOmics, DAVID and Metascape databases.

Apatinib exerts anti-tumor activity to non-Hodgkin lymphoma by inhibition of the Ras pathway.

Apatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that selectively targets vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2). Although apatinib has shown promising anti-tumor activity against several types of tumor, its role and underlying mechanism against non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) remain to be explored. Here, we report that apatinib dramatically inhibited in vitro the proliferation of various human NHL cell lines, including Burkitt lymphoma (BL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), in a dose-dependent manner.

CS2164 exerts an antitumor effect against human Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas in vitro and in vivo.

Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs) are a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders. Mounting studies have suggested an involvement of angiogenesis signaling in NHLs progression and resistance to treatment. In this study, we investigated the cytotoxicity of CS2164, a novel receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor selectively targeting VEGFR-2 and Aurora B in NHL cells.

[Clinical features and risk factors for infections in adult acute leukemia after chemotherapy].

Objective: To observe the clinical characteristics of infections in adult acute leukemia （AL）patients during chemotherapy in hospital, and identify the risk factors for infections.

Methods: A retrospective study of patients with AL who underwent chemotherapy between July 2010 and Dec 2014 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University was conducted. Clinical features and risk factors for infections were analyzed.
