Published: June 2002

We report 2 cases of myeloproliferative disorders discovered incidentally at the time of routine coronary bypass surgery. Suspicion of abnormal bone marrow tissue upon performing sternotomy and subsequent sampling for frozen section made the diagnosis. The surgical plan was changed, and partial revascularization without cardiopulmonary bypass was performed.

Dasatinib-induced colitis in a patient with chronic myeloid leukaemia.

BMJ Case Rep

Department of Digestive Health, Gold Coast University Hospital, Gold Coast, Australia, Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service, Southport, Queensland, Australia.

Dasatinib is a common treatment for chronic myeloid leukaemia with numerous side effects including gastrointestinal. We report a woman in her 50s who presented with haematochezia, weight loss and a positive faecal occult blood test. She was being treated for chronic myeloid leukaemia with dasatinib without the use of any concurrent medications, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) improve prognosis in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Nilotinib and ponatinib, second- and third-generation TKIs, respectively, have been reported to cause adverse vascular occlusive events such as myocardial infarction and peripheral arterial disease. However, little is known about the risk of cerebral infarction associated with severe cerebrovascular stenosis, which is a late complication of TKIs.

Background: Imatinib is the treatment of elderly or frail patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Trough levels of around 1000 ng/ml are considered as the target exposure.

Objectives: We searched for baseline parameters associated with imatinib pharmacokinetics, and studied the clinical impact of subsequent adaptive dosing.

[Analysis of Genes Related to Platelet Activation in Essential Thrombocythemia Based on Transcriptomics].

Zhongguo Shi Yan Xue Ye Xue Za Zhi

Department of Hematology, Xiyuan Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, Beijing 100091, China.

Objective: To analyze the genes related to platelet activation in essential thrombocythemia (ET) based on transcriptome sequencing technology (RNA-seq), and to explore the potential targets related to ET thrombosis.

Methods: Blood samples from ET patients and healthy individuals were collected for RNA-seq, and differentially expressed lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs were selected to construct a lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network. Differential mRNAs in the regulatory network were enriched and analyzed using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG).

Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of flumatinib (FM) and imatinib (IM) as first-line treatment in newly-diagnosed patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) in real world.

Methods: A total of 84 newly-diagnosed CP-CML patients in our center from December 2019 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 32 cases received FM as first-line treatment, and 52 cases received IM.
