  • Anti-PD-1 monotherapy was found to be ineffective for patients with relapsed/refractory AML showing high levels of PD-1 and PD-L1, leading to a study of a combination therapy involving PD-1 inhibitors and hypomethylating agents.
  • In a phase 2 trial with 27 patients, the combination therapy achieved a 63% objective response rate, with median overall survival not reached in responders and median event-free survival at 9.2 months.
  • The combination of tislelizumab, hypomethylating agents, and the CAG regimen showed promising results with mild adverse effects, while higher levels of specific T cells may indicate better treatment outcomes.

  • Proso millet is a fast-growing summer crop that can be used for silage but has lower forage yield compared to corn and sorghum-sudangrass hybrid, although it has a higher relative feed value.
  • The fermentation process for proso millet silage shows quicker pH changes and greater ammonia-nitrogen concentration, indicating different fermentation dynamics compared to other crops.
  • Despite its advantages, proso millet exhibited higher dry matter loss and lower digestibility as fermentation progressed, highlighting the need for more research on its feed value and ensilability.

Objective: To evaluate whether skin tests are suitable to predict the allergy reactions induced by Chinese herbal injections (CHIs).

Methods: The skin tests including skin prick tests (SPT), intradermal tests (IDT) and provocation tests including subcutaneous tests and intravenous tests were administered to 249 healthy subjects and 180 allergic patients for 3 CHIs, including ginkgolide injection, diterpene ginkgolide meglumine injection and Salvianolate lyophilized injection. The results of the provocation tests were used as the "gold standard" to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the skin tests.

To improve the fermentation quality of silage and reduce the nutrients loss of raw materials during the ensiling process, silage additives are widely used. The effect of additives on silage is also affected by the species of crop. Therefore, this study was designed to explore the effects of formic acid (FA) and lactic acid bacterial inoculant on the quality of main summer crop silage.

  • The EP300-ZNF384 fusion is a rare genetic anomaly linked to B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), and this study focused on its occurrence in a Chinese patient group that had not been extensively researched before.
  • In this analysis of 56 acute leukemia patients without common genetic abnormalities, two variants of the EP300-ZNF384 fusion were identified in ten cases, resulting in significant loss of functional EP300 domains.
  • Remarkably, 70% of patients with the EP300-ZNF384 fusion achieved remission after chemotherapy, highlighting that this specific fusion marks a unique subgroup of B-ALL with specific immunophenotypic characteristics and a good response to treatment.

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of wilting and microbial inoculant treatment on the fermentation pattern and quality of Italian ryegrass silage.

Methods: Italian ryegrass was harvested at heading stage and ensiled into vinyl bags (20 cm×30 cm) for 60d. Italian ryegrass was ensiled with 4 treatments (NWNA, no-wilting noadditive; NWA, no-wilting with additive; WNA, wilting no-additive; WA, wilting with additive) in 3 replications, wilting time was 5 hours and additives were treated with 106 cfu/g of Lactobacillus plantarum.

  • Many bioactive components of Chinese herbal medicines have low oral bioavailability, which prompts the need for alternative administration methods, such as intramuscular injections, but knowledge of their pharmacokinetics in this route is limited.
  • This study specifically examined the pharmacokinetics of ginsenosides in XueShuanTong, a herbal medicine used for cardiovascular issues, comparing the effects of intramuscular injections to intravenous infusions.
  • Results indicated that ginsenosides administered intramuscularly have high bioavailability (100%-112%), and while they circulate similarly to intravenous doses, their longevity in the bloodstream differs based on type, with certain ginsenosides lasting much longer than others.
