Fifty-four newly diagnosed patients with advanced Hodgkin's disease were randomized between two alternating non cross-resistant chemotherapies: MOPP-ABVD (MOPP: Mustine, Vincristine, Procarbazine, Prednisone-ABVD: Adriamycin, Bleomycin, Vinblastine, Dacarbazine) and MOPP-ABVD-CEM (CEM: Carmustine, Etoposide, methyl-GAG). There were no significant differences between the two therapies as far as complete remission, survival, relapse free survival and toxicity were concerned. This study does not support the use of MOPP-ABVD-CEM for improving the long-term outcome of patients with advanced Hodgkin's disease.

Bioinspired Nanofluidic Circuits with Integrating Excitatory and Inhibitory Synapses.

Nano Lett

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Physical Chemistry of Solid Surfaces, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China.

Brain neural networks intricately integrate excitatory and inhibitory synaptic potentials to modulate the generation or suppression of action potentials, laying the foundation for neuronal computation. Although bioinspired nanofluidic systems have replicated some synaptic functions, complete integration of postsynaptic potentials remains unachieved. In this work, the developed ion concentration gradient nanofluidic memristor (ICGNM) modulates memristive effects through ion concentration gradient adjustments and exhibits synaptic plasticity phenomena, including paired-pulse facilitation, paired-pulse depression, and spike-rate-dependent plasticity.

Is there a relationship between tumour aggressiveness and ovarian stimulation outcomes in adolescent and young adult patients with lymphoma?

Reprod Biomed Online

September 2024

Department of Assisted Reproductive Technologies and Fertility Preservation, Jeanne de Flandre Hospital, Lille, France; OncoLille, Canther, INSERM UMR-S1277, CNRS UMR9020, Lille University, Lille, France.

Research Question: Does the aggressiveness of Hodgkin lymphoma impact the oocyte cohort after ovarian stimulation for fertility preservation?

Design: A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was undertaken. Seventy-seven chemo-naive women with newly diagnosed Hodgkin lymphoma were enrolled prospectively at the Observatory and Fertility Preservation Centre, Lille University Hospital, France between 2012 and 2021. Seventy-eight ovarian stimulation cycles were performed.

Short-term outcome of hodgkin lymphoma patients and its prognostic factors in northeast peninsular Malaysia: A single centre experience.

Med J Malaysia

January 2025

Universiti Sains Malaysia, School of Medical Sciences, Department of Internal Medicine, Clinical Haematology Unit, 16150 Kubang Kerian, Kelantan, Malaysia.

Introduction: Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a hematopoietic malignancy characterized by the presence of Reed Sternberg cells, with generally favourable outcomes compared to other hematological malignancies. This study aims to determine the socio-demographic, clinical and treatment characteristics, as well as the short-term overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates, of HL patients treated at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), a tertiary centre in northeast peninsular Malaysia.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of HL patients treated from January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2018, with follow-up until December 31, 2021.

Introduction Despite the favorable prognosis of Hodgkin's disease (HD), some patients experience disease recurrence. Therefore, determining recurrence prognostic factors is very crucial to identify patients at risk of early relapse, maintain remission, and improve outcomes. Materials and methods This retrospective cohort study enrolled HD patients at the National Research Institute of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (NRITLD), Masih Daneshvari Hospital, between January 1, 2002, and June 30, 2018.

l-Asparaginase (l-ASNase) catalyzes the hydrolysis of l-asparagine, leading to its depletion and subsequent effects on the cellular proliferation and survival. In contrast to normal cells, malignant cells that lack asparagine synthase are extremely susceptible to asparagine deficiency. l-ASNase has been successfully employed in treating pediatric leukemias and non-Hodgkin lymphomas; however, its usage in adult patients and other types of cancer is limited due to significant side effects and drug resistance.
