Partition-based k-space synthesis for multi-contrast parallel imaging.

Purpose: Multi-contrast magnetic resonance imaging is a significant and essential medical imaging technique. However, multi-contrast imaging has longer acquisition time and is easy to cause motion artifacts. In particular, the acquisition time for a T2-weighted image is prolonged due to its longer repetition time (TR).

Assessment of 2022 European LeukemiaNet risk classification system in real-world cohort from China.

Background: The European LeukemiaNet (ELN) risk classification system for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients has been used worldwide. In 2022, the ELN risk classification system modified risk genes including CEBPA mutation status, myelodysplasia-related (MR) gene mutations and internal tandem duplications of FLT3 (FLT3-ITD).

Methods: We include newly diagnosed de novo AML patients at our center from January 2017 to December 2021, regardless of the further treatment received.

Dexamethasone enhances venetoclax-induced apoptosis in acute myeloid leukemia cells.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) therapies have been significantly improved by the development of medicines that can target BCL-2. On the other hand, non-recurrent alterations in oncogenic pathways and gene expression patterns have already been linked to therapeutic resistance to venetoclax therapy. Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) support leukemic cells in preventing chemotherapy-induced apoptosis by mitochondrial transfer in leukemic microenvironment.

A food poisoning caused by ST7 harboring gene in Hainan province, China.

ST7 is highly prevalent in humans, pigs, as well as food in China; however, staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP) caused by this ST type has rarely been reported. On May 13, 2017, an SFP outbreak caused by ST7 strains occurred in two campuses of a kindergarten in Hainan Province, China. We investigated the genomic characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of ST7 SFP strains combined with the 91 ST7 food-borne strains from 12 provinces in China by performing whole-genome sequencing (WGS).

Regeneration of Activated Sludge into SiO-Decorated Heteroatom-Doped Porous Carbon as Advanced Electrodes for Li-S Batteries.

The regeneration of harmful activated sludge into an energy source is an important strategy for municipal sludge treatment and recycling. Herein, SiO-modified N,S auto-doped porous carbon (NSC@SiO) with high conductivity (70 S m) is successfully obtained through a simple calcination method of the activated sludge from wastewater treatment. Further, P-doped NSC@SiO (NSPC@SiO) is designed to achieve a higher surface area (891 m g vs 624 m g), a larger pore volume (0.

Efficacy and safety of CD22-specific and CD19/CD22-bispecific CAR-T cell therapy in patients with hematologic malignancies: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: CD22 single and CD19/CD22 bispecific targeted chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy are promising immunotherapy modalities for the treatment of hematologic malignancies. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of CD22 and CD19/CD22 targeted CAR-T cell therapy by summarizing the existing evidence.

Methods: Electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, and Scopus were comprehensively searched from inception up to November 30, 2022.

TIM-3 Expression Level on AML Blasts Correlates With Presence of Core Binding Factor Translocations Rather Than Clinical Outcomes.

Background: T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing molecule 3 (TIM-3) expresses on leukemic stem and progenitor populations of non-M3 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) as well as T lymphocytes. TIM-3 is thought to be involved in the self-renewal of leukemic stem cells and the immune escape of AML cells, however its correlation with AML prognosis is still controversial and worthy of further investigation.

Methods: we simultaneously assessed TIM-3 expression levels of leukemic blasts and T lymphocytes in the bone marrow of AML patients using flow cytometry.

Exosomal LINC00355 derived from cancer-associated fibroblasts promotes bladder cancer cell resistance to cisplatin by regulating miR-34b-5p/ABCB1 axis.

Cisplatin resistance is a major challenge for bladder cancer (BC). Evidence indicates that exosome derived from cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF-Exo) can promote chemotherapy resistance in various human tumors by delivering bioactive molecules. We have previously demonstrated that CAF-derived exosomal LINC00355 promotes BC cell proliferation and invasion.

[Significance of Detecting the Plasma Levels of MMP-13 in Patients with Multiple Myeloma].

Objective: To study the significance of detecting the plasma level of matrix metalloproteinase-13(MMP-13) in patients with multiple myeloma(MM) and to investigate the correlation of MMP-13 levels in MM patients with myeloma bone disease(MBD).

Methods: The plasma level of MMP-13 was quantitatively analyzed in 53 newly diagnosed MM patients and 30 healthy controls by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Imaging examination was used to determine bone damage in patients with MM.

Determination of volatile organic compounds exhaled by cell lines derived from hematological malignancies.

Unlabelled: Background The gas human exhaled contains many volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which is related to the health status of body. Analysis of VOCs has been proposed as a noninvasive diagnostic tool for certain cancers. Detailed research on the VOCs in gas exhaled by cell can characterize cell type specific metabolites and may be helpful to detect the cancer markers in clinical practice.

Relationships among hope, coping style and social support for breast cancer patients.

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women, and its incidence seems to have gradually increased every year. During the treatment of breast cancer, patients suffer psychological morbidity, and hope is one important factor in maintaining psychological health. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the level of hope in Chinese women with breast cancer during chemotherapy and confirmed the relationships among hope, coping style, and social support.
