Background: Neutropenia frequently presents as a hematological manifestation among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). This study explores the factors associated with neutropenia in PLWHA and its prognostic significance.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective case-control study of the clinical data from 780 cases of individuals living with HIV/AIDS, who were admitted to Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University over the period from January 2016 to September 2020.

Aim: To characterize the differences of dynamic changes for absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) among esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) with or without pembrolizumab, as well as to investigate the clinical and lymphocyte-related organs dosimetric parameters that would impact ALC nadir during nCRT.
Materials And Methods: A total of 216 ESCC patients who received nCRT (with pembrolizumab 144; without pembrolizumab: 72) were identified from a prospective cohort. Weekly and 1-month post-nCRT ALC were identified.

X-linked moesin-associated immunodeficiency (X-MAID) is a recently identified combined immunodeficiency caused by a mutation in the moesin () gene. It is characterized by cytopenias, hypogammaglobulinemia, poor immune response to vaccine antigens, and increased susceptibility to early-life infections. We report a patient with adult-onset neutropenia, lymphopenia, inadequate response to the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23), and recurrent bacterial infections associated with a hemizygous deletion.

Background: Clozapine exhibits significant therapeutic efficacy in schizophrenia, especially treatment-resistant schizophrenia. However, clozapine can cause agranulocytosis, a fatal adverse effect, and the aim of this study is to explore this mechanism based on network pharmacology and molecular docking.
Method: Six and two databases were used to identify targets associated with clozapine and agranulocytosis, respectively.
