Objective: To study the protective effect of NADH on the hematopoietic system of mice against radiation.
Methods: Sixty mice were randomized into 3 groups (20/group), Group I serving as normal control group. Three days before exposure to single-dose (6.0 Gy) whole body 60Co gamma-ray irradiation in the other 2 groups, the mice in Group II received injections with 0.9% NaCl and those in Group III with intraperitoneal NADH (10 mg/kg, twice daily). The peripheral white blood cells count was carried out in the blood samples from the mouse tail vein at different time after the exposure, and the bone marrow smears were prepared with routine staining to examine the number of the granulocytes and determine their mitotic index 24 h after radiation. DNA fragmentation in mouse bone marrow cells was detected by DNA electrophoresis 24 and 48 h after irradiation.
Results: The white blood cell count was significantly higher in mice with coenzyme I treatment before exposure to the irradiation. NADH also increased the number of the granulocytes and their mitotic index without inhibiting DNA fragmentation in the bone marrow cells as observed 24 and 48 h after the irradiation.
Conclusion: NADH can markedly prevent the damages to the hematopoietic system in mice exposed to irradiation, but the mechanism does not involve the inhibition of bone marrow cell apoptosis.

Although acute myeloid leukemia (AML) affects hematopoietic stem cell (HSC)-supportive microenvironment, it is largely unknown whether leukemia-modified bone marrow (BM) microenvironment can be remodeled to support normal hematopoiesis after complete remission (CR). As a key element of BM microenvironment, endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) provide a feasible way to investigate BM microenvironment remodeling. Here, we find reduced and dysfunctional BM EPCs in AML patients, characterized by impaired angiogenesis and high ROS levels, could be partially remodeled after CR and improved by N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC).

Introduction: Mortality and morbidity in persons with haemophilia (PWH) have decreased due to improved diagnosis and treatment along with comprehensive population outreach efforts, but the impact is not uniform in different countries.
Aim: The study aims to assess all-cause and intracranial haemorrhage (ICH)-specific mortality of PWH in India.
Methods: This is a retrospective, observational, multi-centric cohort study of 1020 haemophilia patients from three centres in India.

Psoriasis is a multifactorial disorder mediated by IL-17-producing T cells, involving immune cells and skin-constituting cells. Semaphorin 4A (Sema4A), an immune semaphorin, is known to take part in T helper type 1/17 differentiation and activation. However, Sema4A is also crucial for maintaining peripheral tissue homeostasis and its involvement in skin remains unknown.

Background: The prognostic significance of extranodal sites in stage IV diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remains uncertain, making it challenging to select appropriate treatment strategies for individual patients. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the influence of different extranodal sites on prognosis in young patients with stage IV DLBCL who achieved complete remission (CR) following initial chemo-immunotherapy and to explore the potential of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) as a consolidation treatment for specific patient subgroups.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data from 119 patients with DLBCL aged < 60 years who achieved CR after chemo-immunotherapy between 2008 and 2020.

Introduction: Thrombocytopenia is a common clinical problem in cancer patients undergoing high-dose chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). It can occur as prolonged isolated thrombocytopenia (PIT) or secondary failure of platelet recovery (SFPR) and may cause potentially fatal bleeding. However, data on the treatment of post-transplant thrombocytopenia is still lacking.
