Article Synopsis
- Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is a type of cancer linked to HTLV-1 virus infection, with the WHO's new 5th Edition classification outlining essential and desirable diagnostic criteria for its identification.
- A new diagnostic method combining HBZ-ISH and tax-PCR enhances detection of HTLV-1 in cases where only preserved tissue samples are available, alongside traditional Southern blot techniques.
- The review addresses the morphological and phenotypic characteristics of ATLL, noting the prevalence of certain phenotypes, genetic abnormalities, and emphasizing the need for further research and classification in understanding the disease's complex nature.
Comparative quantification of varicella-zoster virus in air, pharyngeal swabs, and vesicle content in patients with varicella, disseminated zoster, and localized herpes zoster.

We evaluated the viral load of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) in ambient air, vesicle, and pharyngeal swabs in VZV-infected patients. Of 46 cases, 6 had VZV detected in indoor air samples from patient rooms. Results suggest an association between viral load in the pharyngeal swab and indoor air.

Methods: Of 125 cases of traumatic anterior instability surgery from January 2017 to November 2019, 66 patients (52 men, 14 women; 23.
Article Synopsis
- Pig skeletal muscle-derived stem cells (SK-MSCs) were tested for their effectiveness in repairing long gaps in nerves using a collagen tube in a preclinical study.
- The study simulated different human compatibility levels (50% and 100%) to evaluate the therapeutic potential and analyzed immune responses.
- Results showed significant improvement in functional recovery from nerve injuries with SK-MSC transplantation, suggesting it could be a viable treatment option for nerve regeneration in related individuals.
Article Synopsis
- Identifying CD30 expression through immunohistochemistry is crucial for treating lymphomas with CD30-targeting antibody-drug conjugates, but no standardized staining protocol existed prior to this study.
- The research compared three automated immunostaining platforms (Bond III, Dako Omnis, Ventana BenchMark ULTRA) using varying dilutions of a primary antibody to determine effective staining conditions.
- The study found that adjusting antibody dilutions and cutoff values can achieve consistent CD30 staining across different platforms, with high concordance rates for diagnosing peripheral T-cell lymphomas.
