Published: May 1999

In the submitted review the author describes time correlation's of reconstitution of immunity during the post-transplantation period in patients after autologous and allogeneic bone marrow transplantations. The authors presents values of different immunological parameters incl. functional examinations of immunity by the method of blastic lymphocyte transformation after stimulation with mitogens and vaccination antigens during the post-transplantation period. She also evaluates mechanisms involved in this process. An illustrative idea on the character and degree of affection of immunity mechanisms after bone marrow transplantation is provided by the state of postvaccination immunity after immunization made before the disease and bone marrow transplantation. The titres of postvaccination antibodies after a 1-4-year interval following bone marrow transplantation gradually drop to low or zero values. The author emphasises therefore the necessity of revaccination of patients with killed vaccines against tetanus, diphtheria, poliovirus and pneumococcal, meningococcal and haemophil infection during the post-transplantation period. Recommended vaccination patterns are also presented.

Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is a condition where blood or bone marrow cells carry mutations associated with hematological malignancies. Individuals with CHIP have an increased risk of developing hematological malignancies, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality. Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) of cells carrying CHIP mutations into irradiated mice are useful procedures to investigate the dynamics of clonal expansion and potential therapeutic strategies, but myeloablative conditioning can induce confounding effects.

Background: Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic disease characterized by low bone mass. New progress has been made in the study of OP, such as lipid peroxidation. However, the role of lipid peroxides in osteoclast differentiation is still unclear.

Severe pregnancy-associated atypical hemolytic uremia syndrome in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic: a novel survival case report.

Background: Pregnancy-associated atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a form of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) caused by uncontrolled activation of the complement system during pregnancy or the postpartum period. In the intensive care unit, aHUS must be differentiated from sepsis-related multiple organ dysfunction, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet (HELLP) syndrome. Early recognition of aHUS is critical for effective treatment and improved prognosis.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is caused by altered maturation and differentiation of myeloid blasts, as well as transcriptional/epigenetic alterations, all leading to excessive proliferation of malignant blood cells in the bone marrow. Tumor heterogeneity due to the acquisition of new somatic alterations leads to a high rate of resistance to current therapies or reduces the efficacy of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), thus increasing the risk of relapse and mortality. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) will enable the classification of AML and guide treatment approaches by profiling patients with different facets of the same disease, stratifying risk, and identifying new potential therapeutic targets at the time of diagnosis or after treatment.

The delicate balance between bone formation by osteoblasts and bone resorption by osteoclasts maintains bone homeostasis. Nuclear receptors (NRs) are now understood to be crucial in bone physiology and pathology. However, the function of the Farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a member of the NR family, in regulating bone homeostasis remains incompletely understood.
