Rituximab combined with Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor to treat elderly diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients: Two case reports.

Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a common aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), accounting for 30%-40% of adult NHLs. This report aims to explore the efficacy and safety of rituximab combined with Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) in the treatment of elderly patients with DLBCL.

Case Summary: The clinical data of two elderly patients with DLBCL who received rituximab combined with BTKi in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed, and the literature was reviewed.

Fatty Acid Profile of Muscles from Crossbred Angus-Simmental, Wagyu-Simmental, and Chinese Simmental Cattles.

This study assessed breed differences in fatty acid composition and meat quality of (LTL) and (SE) of Angus× Chinese Simmental (AS), Wagyu×Chinese Simmental (WS), and Chinese Simmental (CS). CS (n=9), AS (n=9) and WS (n=9) were randomly selected from a herd of 80 bulls which were fed and managed under similar conditions. Fatty acid profile and meat quality parameters were analyzed in duplicate.

Prognostic impact of miR-196a/b expression in adult acute myeloid leukaemia: a single-centre, retrospective cohort study.

Objective The prognostic effect of miR-196a/b expression in adult patients with leukaemia remains unclear. This study aimed to determine whether miR-196a/b expression can serve as a prognostic factor for patients with acute myeloid leukaemia. Methods We enrolled 124 patients with acute myeloid leukaemia.

Effects of Danshen Injection () on inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis through down-regulation of mutant JAK2 gene and its protein phosphorylation in human erythroid leukemic cells.

Objective: To explore the effects of Danshen Injection () on inhibition proliferation, inducing apoptosis and its possible mechanisms on human erythroid leukemic (HEL) cells.

Methods: The commercial Chinese patent medicine of Danshen Injection was extracted and isolated from Chinese herb of Salvia miltiorrhiza bung. The inhibition effects of proliferation were assayed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method in HEL cells treated by Danshen Injection at various concentrations for 48 h.

[The effect of polymorphism F279Y of GHR gene on milk production trait in Chinese Holstein cattle].

Objective: To study the effect of the polymorphism F279Y of the growth hormone receptor (GHR) gene on milk yield and composition in Chinese Holstein cattle.

Methods: Hundred thirty two Chinese Holstein cattle were selected as study materials, according to DHI production performance method to get the data of milk yield and composition; PCR- SSCP and sequencing method were used to detect the genotypes; least square method was used to acquire correlation analysis.

Results: Chinese Holstein cattle F279Y of GHR gene loci A and T allele frequency were 0.
