Qiling Baitouweng Tang (QLBTWT) is a traditional clinical formula for treating diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), but its molecular action is not fully understood. This research is utilized in silico analysis and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC‒MS/MS) to identify the active constituents of QLBTWT with anti-DLBCL properties and their targets. The study identified 14 compounds, including quercetin, naringenin, and astilbin, as potentially effective against DLBCL.

Article Synopsis
  • Xiao-Ai Jie-Du decoction (XAJDD) is traditionally used to treat diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with varying prescriptions tailored to patients' conditions.* -
  • The study aimed to identify the core ingredients of XAJDD and understand how they work against DLBCL using data mining and in silico modeling.* -
  • The core formula includes six herbs, and key components like astibin and quercetin were found to significantly inhibit DLBCL cell proliferation and promote apoptosis, helping to reveal the treatment's molecular mechanisms.*

Objective: The leukemia cells from patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) were inoculated into NCG mice to establish a stable human T-ALL leukemia animal model.

Methods: Leukemia cells from bone marrow of newly diagnosed T-ALL patients were isolated, and the leukemia cells were inoculated into NCG mice via tail vein. The proportion of hCD45 positive cells in peripheral blood of the mice was detected regularly by flow cytometry, and the infiltration of leukemia cells in bone marrow, liver, spleen and other organs of the mice was detected by pathology and immunohistochemistry.

Objective: To investigate the effect of celastrol on the proliferation and apoptosis of human multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines, reveal the relationship between IRAK4/ERK/p38 signaling pathway and celastrol regulating the proliferation and apoptosis of H929 and ARP-1 cells, and explore whether celastrol combined with bortezomib has synergistic effect.

Methods: CCK-8 method was used to detect the viability of MM cell lines H929 and ARP-1 treated by different concentrations of celastrol, bortezomib, and their combination, and the synergistic effect was determined by Kim's formula. The apoptosis rate of H929 cells and necrosis rate of ARP-1 were detected by Annexin V/PI method.

Objective: To observe the changes of serum metabolites in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) by metabonomics, and explore the potential biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, and progression of MM.

Methods: Serum samples were collected from 26 patients with MM and 50 healthy controls. The data detected by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was input into SIMCA-14.

Here, we report a Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia case with the longest chronic phase and overall survival to our knowledge ever reported in the medical literature. During the 33-year chronic phase, he was asymptomatic without any treatment and had normal blood cell values. BCR-ABL silencing might be referred to the uncommon long-term survivor.

The objective of this study was to explore the differences between refractory anemia with ringed sideroblast (RARS) and RARS associated with marked thrombocytosis (RARS-T) in the clinical, biological features and prognosis. The morphological changes of cells were observed by bone marrow smear and biopsy. Immunologic phenotype was analyzed by flow cytometry, and chromosome was examined by conventional chromosomal analysis.
