With the depletion of shallow oil and gas resources, wells are being drilled to deeper and deeper depths to find new hydrocarbon reserves. This study presents the selection and optimization process of the cement slurries to be used for the deepest well ever drilled in China, with a planned vertical depth of 11,100 m. The bottomhole circulating and static temperatures of the well were estimated to be 210 °C and 220 °C, respectively, while the bottomhole pressure was estimated to be 130 MPa.

CD7 targeted CAR-T has demonstrated potential in the treatment of T cell malignancies but no study has been reported about its potential in the prophylaxis of GVHD in allo-HSCT. Here we reported a special case that a boy diagnosed with refractory acute T lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) was treated with universal CD7 targeted CAR-T (CD7 UCAR-T) and parent-derived peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs). Complete remission and full engraftment of donor was observed.

β/β thalassemia is the most severe type of transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT) and is still a challenge facing lentiviral gene therapy. Here, we report the interim analysis of a single-center, single-arm pilot trial (NCT05015920) evaluating the safety and efficacy of a β-globin expression-optimized and insulator-engineered lentivirus-modified cell product (BD211) in β/β TDT. Two female children were enrolled, infused with BD211, and followed up for an average of 25.

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) represents an area of highly unmet medical needs. Once relapsed, patients have limited treatment options and poor prognosis. T-ALL antigens such as CD7 is extensively expressed in normal T cells and natural killer (NK) cells, and extending the success of CAR-T therapy to T cell malignancies was challenged by CAR-T cell fratricide, high production cost, and potential product contaminations.

In order to cope with the global climate crisis, carbon capture, utilization, and storage are the key technologies to achieve carbon neutrality, and it is an elegant geological utilization method for the oil and gas industry to improve the recovery rate of crude oil by using CO. However, in practical applications, the problem of low miscibility of CO and crude oil, resulting in low oil displacement efficiency, cannot be avoided. Thus, finding an appropriate method to increase the utilization rate of CO is a worth in-depth study.

Purpose: Although chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy development for B-cell malignancies has made significant progress in the last decade, broadening the success to treating T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) has been limited. We conducted two clinical trials to verify the safety and efficacy of GC027, an "off-the-shelf" allogeneic CAR-T product targeting T-cell antigen, CD7. Here, we report 2 patients as case reports with relapsed/refractory T-ALL who were treated with GC027.

TP73-AS1 has been reported as an overexpressed oncogenic lncRNA in several types of cancer. However, these analyses of The Cancer Genome Atlas data set revealed downregulation of TP73-AS1 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In this study, we aimed to study the molecular mechanism between TP73-AS1 and cell proliferation in AML.

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) small nucleolar RNA host gene 4 (SNHG4) is a characterized oncogenic lncRNA in osteosarcoma. The analysis of the TCGA dataset suggested the downregulation of SNHG4 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), indicating its possible involvement in this disease. Therefore, this study was performed to analyze the interaction between SNHG4 and miR-10a in AML.
