In order to guide clinical blood transfusion practices for pediatric patients, the National Health Commission has released the health standard "Guideline for pediatric transfusion" (WS/T 795-2022). Considering the physiological particularities of the neonatal period, blood transfusion practices for neonates are more complex than those for other children, the guidelines include a separate chapter dedicated to neonatal blood transfusion. This paper interprets the background and evidence for the compilation of the neonatal blood transfusion provisions, hoping to aid in the understanding and implementation of the neonatal blood transfusion section of the guidelines.

Methods: A retrospective observational study was performed from October 2018 to December 2020 at the Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine.It collected clinical data of pediatric patients diagnosed with hematological malignancies who experienced febrile illnesses.
Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most prevalent type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, exhibits significant correlations with efferocytosis-related molecules (ERMs) concerning invasion, metastasis, and clinical outcomes. This study aims to establish an efferocytosis-related gene signature specifically linked to DLBCL.
Methods: Key module genes linked to DLBCL were identified via weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) in GSE32018.
Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) was originally an aggressive malignancy of the bone marrow and one of the deadliest forms of acute leukaemia. The 5-year mortality benefit for patients with AML was only 28.3%.

It has been demonstrated that non B-Igs can be widely expressed in most cell types, including, but not limited to, epithelial cells, cardiomyocytes, hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, myeloid cells, and cells from immune-privileged sites, such as neurons and spermatogenic cells. In particular, malignant tumour cells express high level of IgG.

The objective of the present study was to compare the strength of the aforementioned associations in middle-aged and elderly adults.

Background: Pickled mustard, the largest cultivated vegetable in China, generates substantial waste annually, leading to significant environmental pollution due to challenges in timely disposal, leading to decomposition and sewage issues. Consequently, the imperative to address this concern centers on the reduction and comprehensive resource utilization of raw mustard waste (RMW). To achieve complete and quantitative resource utilization of RMW, this study employs novel technology integration for optimizing its higher-value applications.

Methods: The AML-related data were collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA; TCGA-AML) database and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO; GSE9476, GSE71014, and GSE13159) database.
Introduction: It is important to predict adverse outcomes in febrile children with hematology/oncology diseases. Procalcitonin (PCT) is a promising biomarker for the prediction of infection severity, but further studies have revealed its performance in excluding adverse outcomes of infection. IL-6 and IL-10 were reported to have a close association with those infection outcomes.

Th1/Th2 cytokines, C-reactive protein (CRP), and procalcitonin (PCT) are all thought to be associated with disease severity. The aim of this study was to prospectively verify the utility of Th1/Th2 cytokines and compare them with PCT and CRP in the prediction of adverse outcomes.

However, there are limited data on the use of ruxolitinib in children.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the efficacy and toxicity of ruxolitinib in the treatment of SR-GVHD in children.
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are attractive non-viral gene delivery vectors due to their high transfection capacity and safety. Previously, we have shown that cell-penetrating peptide RALA can be a promising gene delivery vector for chronic wound regeneration application. In this study, we engineered a novel peptide called RALA-E by introducing elastin-derived VGVAPG fragment into RALA, in order to target the elastin-binding protein on the cell surface and thus improve delivery efficacy of RALA.

Previous studies have showed the efficacy and safety of low-dose decitabine for adults' refractory prolonged isolated thrombocytopenia in hematologic malignancy after allo-HSCT. However, clinical data on pediatric patients or non-hematologic malignancies are lacking.
