Article Synopsis
  • Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a type of blood cancer where allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is currently the only curative treatment, although not suitable for all patients, and relapse is a common issue.
  • A nationwide study analyzed data from 238 CMML patients who underwent allo-HSCT across 27 medical centers and 307 patients from a research database to establish a risk scoring system to predict early relapse based on certain prognostic factors.
  • Four key factors were identified that significantly increased the risk of relapse: bone marrow blasts over 10%, age greater than 60 years, low hemoglobin levels, and specific gene mutations, leading to a scoring system that categor

Objective: To investigate the value of serum free light chain (sFLC) and serum calcium ion in the diagnosis and prognosis of multiple myeloma (MM).

Methods: Forty patients with MM treated in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2018 to January 2022 were selected as the observation group, and 40 healthy volunteers were selected as the control group. The differences of sFLC-κ、sFLC-λ、sFLC-κ/λ, serum calcium ions, etc between the two groups were compared.

Loss and overexpression of FAT1 occurs among different cancers, with these divergent states equated with tumor suppressor and oncogene activity, respectively. Regarding the latter, FAT1 is highly expressed in a high proportion of human acute leukemias relative to normal blood cells, with evidence pointing to an oncogenic role. We hypothesized that this occurrence represents legacy expression of FAT1 in undefined hematopoietic precursor subsets (i.

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a clonal hematopoietic stem cell malignancy, and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the only curable treatment. The outcomes after transplant are influenced by both disease characteristics and patient comorbidities. To develop a novel prognostic model to predict the post-transplant survival of CMML patients, we identified risk factors by applying univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression to a derivation cohort.

Relapsed or refractory (r/r) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive B-cell malignancy with a poor prognosis. Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a mediator of B-cell receptor signaling and is associated with the development of B-cell lymphomas. Patients with r/r MCL were enrolled in this phase 1/2 study and treated with orelabrutinib, a novel, highly selective BTK inhibitor.

Background: Orelabrutinib is a novel, small molecule, selective irreversible Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of orelabrutinib in patients with relapsed or refractory Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (R/R WM).

Methods: This is a prospective, multicenter study of orelabrutinib in patients with WM who had at least one prior line of treatment.

Objective: To screen the serum differentially expressed proteins of APL in children.

Methods: Serum protein expression profiles from 20 cases of normal healthy controls, and 20 cases of APL patients were detected by iTRAQ (isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantification)labeling coupled with two-dimensional liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(2DLC-MS/MS), and analyzed by bioinformatics software. S100A8, LRG1 and SPARC were validated by ELISA.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study analyzing 128 biopsy samples identified three distinct subtypes of NKTCL, each with unique characteristics, including cell origin and how they respond to treatments.
  • * The results highlight the molecular mechanisms of EBV-related NKTCL and could lead to improved clinical treatment strategies for patients.

Objective: To investigate the effect of ATO on the proportion of Treg in the peripheral blood of patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) in vitro.

Methods: The peripheral blood of 20 newlydiagnosed patients were collected, and the peripheral blood monomuclear cells (PBMNC) were extracted. After the PBMNC were treated with ATO of different concentrotions (0, 1, 2.

Objective: To analyze the factors affecting survival and prognosis of patients with high-risk refractory lymphoma treated with autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-PBHSCT).

Methods: A total of 96 cases of high-risk refractory lymphoma received auto-PBHSCT were selected. The total survival rate after the treatment was analyzed by using Kaplan-Meier curve and long rank test, and the prognosis-related factors were analyzed by univariate analysis and COX regression analysis.

Objective: To explore the anti-myeloma effect of suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) and on mouse myeloma cell line SP2/0 in vitro and in vivo and its mechanism.

Methods: The inhibitory effect of SAHA on SP2/0 cells was measured by CCK-8 assay,and the apoptosis and cell cycle were analyzed by flow cytometry FACS. The protein expression of Caspase-3 and p53 of SP2/0 cells treated with SAHA were examined by Western blot.

DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) mutations occurred in 18%~23% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, and were considered to be an adverse prognostic factor for adult de novo AML cases. However, the relevant molecular mechanism of the mutation in AML pathogenesis remains obscure. In this study, we established K562 and SKM1 cell model carrying the DNMT3A R882H mutation via transcription activator-like effector nuclease (TALEN) and Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR/Cas9) technology, and discovered that mutated DNMT3A could promote the proliferative capability of malignant cell clones.

Objective: To investigate the value of the HCT-CI score in chemotherapy risk assessment and prognosis of elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Methods: The clinical data of 116 AML patients older than 60 years in the department of Hematology, Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2000 to December 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients received cytarabine-based regimens, including protocol DA, MA, IA, AA or CAG, followed by cytarabine-based postremission treatment.

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value and safety of percutaneous lung biopsy in hematologic patients with lung infection.

Methods: 28 cases hematologic patients received CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy when they developed a fever associated with pulmonary nodules or lumps in CT scan whose clinical diagnosis were unclear during or after chemotherapy. Sample of each lesion were drawn twice.
