Saikosaponin A (SSA), the primary active monomer derived from the Radix bupleuri, demonstrates a diverse array of pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antitumor, analgesic, anti-fibrotic, antidepressant, and immune-modulating properties. Despite its potential therapeutic impact on various human diseases, comprehensive studies exploring SSA's efficacy in these contexts remain limited. This review synthesizes the current research landscape regarding SSA's therapeutic applications across different diseases, highlighting critical insights to overcome existing limitations and clinical challenges.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable malignant plasma cell diseases, the incidence of which is increasing year by year. The application of immunomodulators drugs, proteasome inhibitors, anti-CD38 antibodies, CAR-T, and HSCT have significantly improved the prognosis of patients with MM, however new therapeutic tools need to be developed to improve the prognosis of patients with relapsed/refractory after conventional regimens treatment. Bispecific antibodies are a novel immunotherapeutic approach that generates immune synapses by binding to targets on malignant plasma cells and cytotoxic immune effector cells (T cells/natural killer cells), leading to T/NK cells activation and malignant plasma cell lysis.

Salidroside is a natural product of phenols with a wide range of pharmacological functions, but whether it plays a role in regulating autophagy is unclear. We systematically investigated the regulatory effect and molecular mechanism of salidroside on autophagy through network pharmacology, which provided a theoretical basis for subsequent experimental research. First, the target genes of salidroside were obtained using the Chinese Medicine System Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform, and the target genes were converted into standardized gene names using the Uniprot website.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic neoplasm characterized by malignant proliferation of monoclonal plasma cells in the bone marrow. NK cells, a class of innate lymphocytes with potent natural killer activity, are capable of recognizing and destroying tumor cells and virally infected cells, and have attracted attention as a potential anticancer therapy. In patients with MM, NK cells are suppressed in number and function, resulting in reduced immune surveillance and clearance of myeloma cells.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) are a key component of the tumor microenvironment, which can secrete a variety of cytokines, chemokines and growth factors, directly and indirectly support cancer cells, also alter the immune cellular environment by inhibiting the activity of immune effector cells and recruiting immunosuppressive cells, thereby allowing cancer cells to evade immune surveillance. CAF has been proven to be associated with the development, progression, and poor prognosis of solid tumors. However, the role of CAF in hematological malignancies is still unclear.

Article Synopsis
  • Extramedullary plasma cell tumors (EMP) are a type of tumor with an unclear cause, categorized as primary or secondary based on their relation to multiple myeloma (MM).
  • Primary EMP tends to have a better prognosis with less invasive characteristics and is treated mainly with surgery and radiotherapy, while secondary EMP often indicates aggressive progression of MM and is associated with poorer outcomes, requiring more intensive treatments like chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation.
  • The paper reviews recent research developments in EMP, focusing on understanding its causes, genetic characteristics, and treatment options to assist clinical practices.

Objective: To analyze the expression and prognostic value of metabolism-related genes in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and explore the potential prognostic biomarkers or therapeutic targets.

Methods: Transcriptome data from 84 children with B-cell ALL at the time of diagnosis and prior to any treatment were used to analyze the differential gene expression. A prognostic scoring system based on the expression of the metabolism-related genes was constructed using Cox and Lasso regression methods.

Objective: To analysis the relationship between different BMI (body mass index) and the clinical characteristics, laboratory examination indexes of newly diagnosed adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), so as to investigate the effects of BMI to the efficacy of first induction chemotherapy.

Methods: The clinical data of 145 newly diagnosed adult AML patients treated in the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from August 2015 to August 2019 were retrospective analyzed. According to the guidelines for prevention and control of overweight and obesity in Chinese adults, the BMI (kg/m) of the selected AML patients before induction chemotherapy was calculated and the patients were divided into the low body mass group (BMI<18.
