Recent Progress of CircRNAs in Hematological Malignancies.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are now recognized as key regulators in the epigenetic control of genetic expression, being involved in a wide range of cellular activities such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Their unique closed-loop structure endows them with stability and resistance to exonuclease degradation, making them not only key regulatory molecules within the cell but also promising biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis, particularly in hematological malignancies. This review comprehensively explores the role of circRNAs in the pathogenesis, progression, and therapeutic resistance of common hematological malignancies.

Pathogen detection by targeted next-generation sequencing test in adult hematological malignancies patients with suspected infections.

Background: Infections in patients with hematological malignancies (HM) are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Timely and effective empirical anti-infective treatment can reduce the infection-related mortality rate. Targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) offers a rapid diagnostic approach for identifying diverse pathogens in these patients.

Screening of a Prognostic Gene Signature for Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia Based on Altered Circulating CircRNA Profiles.

Background: Relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R-AML) has dismal prognosis due to chemotherapy resistance. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have shown emerging roles in chemotherapy resistance in various cancers including hematologic malignancies. However, the potential roles of circRNAs in AML progression and drug resistance remain largely undetermined.

Primary pancreatic peripheral T-cell lymphoma: A case report.

Background: Primary pancreatic lymphoma (PPL) is an exceedingly rare tumor with limited mention in scientific literature. The clinical manifestations of PPL are often nonspecific, making it challenging to distinguish this disease from other pancreatic-related diseases. Chemotherapy remains the primary treatment for these individuals.

Correlation between red blood cell distribution width/platelet count and prognosis of newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Background: Red blood cell distribution width/platelet count ratio (RPR) is a reliable prognostic assessment indicator for numerous diseases. However, no studies to date have examined the relationship between RPR and the prognosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the correlation between RPR and the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Factors related to the risk of stroke in the population with type 2 diabetes: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Type 2 diabetes is an independent risk factor for stroke. The main role of the current study is to study the mechanism of stroke induced by diabetes, but there is no systematic summary of daily management and stroke prevention for patients with type 2 diabetes. In order to provide a more detailed stroke prevention program for patients with type 2 diabetes, we included in the study and looked forward to analyzing the risk factors that were more in line with the clinical characteristics of type 2 diabetes.

Optimal intervention time and risk of the activating blood and removing stasis method in acute cerebral hemorrhage patients: A randomized placebo-controlled trial.

Introduction: Stroke is the leading cause of disability-adjusted life years in neurological diseases and has become one of the top 3 fatal diseases in the world. Cerebral hemorrhage accounts for approximately 18% to 24% of all strokes in Asian countries. Cerebral hemorrhage is one of the most destructive subtypes of stroke and has high morbidity and mortality.

Microarray analysis reveals gene and microRNA signatures in diabetic kidney disease.

The current study aimed to identify therapeutic gene and microRNA (miRNA) biomarkers for diabetic kidney disease (DKD). The public expression profile GSE30122 was used. Following data preprocessing, the limma package was used to select differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) in DKD glomeruli samples and tubuli samples and they were compared with corresponding controls.

Lentivirus‑mediated RIG‑I knockdown relieves cell proliferation inhibition, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in ATRA‑induced NB4 cells via the AKT‑FOXO3A signaling pathway in vitro.

Retinoic acid inducible gene I (RIG‑I) is upregulated during all‑trans retinoic acid (ATRA)‑induced terminal granulocytic differentiation of NB4 acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cells. However, the function and mechanism of RIG‑I in NB4 cells remains to be fully elucidated. In the present study, lentivirus‑mediated RIG‑I‑knockdown was used to investigate the proliferation, cell cycle and apoptotic processes of ATRA‑induced NB4 cells in vitro using an MTT assay and flow cytometry, respectively.
