[Myelopoiesis--a kinetic approach].

Published: September 1975

The mechanisms of haemopoietic cellular proliferation are more clearly understood when the granylocytic, monocytic and macrophagic elements of the bone marrow are studied by means of in vitro cultures. Better physiological insight into stimulating and inhibitory factors is obtained in this way. These studies are of diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic importance in the clinical handling of myeloid leukaemia dn neutropenia. It can be accepted today that the concept of myeloid leukaemia as a neoplastic process with an increased production of autonomous cell populations is to a large extent outdated, and these cells can be induced in vitro to differentiate into mature polymorphs. In the past it has been demonstrated that in vitro successes are followed by in vivo results, and in particular it is hoped that with the development of techniques for concentration of colony-stimulating factor, that this might be of therapeutic advantage in selected leukaemia patients in the future.

Objective: To apply the Toronto Childhood Cancer Staging Guidelines (TG) and Estimate the Observed Survival Probabilities for Pediatric Patients with Leukemia and Lymphoma.

Methods: Staging at diagnosis was conducted according to tier 2 of the TG. The study cohort included patients aged 0 -19 years from the Population-Based Cancer Registry (PBCR) of Mato Grosso, diagnosed with leukemia and lymphoma between 2008 and 2017, with follow-up until December 31, 2022.

The T315I-inclusive compound mutation, the multiple mutations including the T315I mutation on the same BCR::ABL1 gene, confers resistance to diverse tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Development of the F311I/T315I compound mutation has been reported in chronic myeloid leukemia patients who sequentially showed clinical resistance to imatinib and dasatinib. The establishment of a human leukemia model with the T315I-inclusive compound mutation remains an experimental challenge.

Background: Basic leucine zipper ATF-like transcription factor (BATF) is a nuclear basic leucine zipper protein affiliated with the AP-1/ATF superfamily. Previous research has confirmed that BATF expression plays a significant role in the tumour microenvironment. However, the associations between BATF expression and prognoses in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients and their immunological effects remain unclear.
