Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), a crucial transcription factor, exerts a notable influence by hyperactivating or acquiring functional mutations in the occurrence and progression of cancers. Hyperactive STAT3 is also implicated in a range of hematopoietic malignancies, especially acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The function of STAT3 is associated with the phosphorylated parallel dimer structure, enabling them to stimulate the transcription of specific genes.

Background: Transfusion is an integral part of supportive care in patients undergoing aggressive chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). As transfusion induces immune modulation, the objective of the study was to assess whether the intensity of red blood cell (RBC) and platelet (PLT) transfusion during induction chemotherapy influences complete remission (CR) and overall survival (OS) in newly diagnosed AML patients.
Methods: Details of the number of RBC units and PLT events transfused from diagnosis till completion of induction chemotherapy were collected.
Familial Platelet Disorder with associated Myeloid Malignancy (FPDMM, FPD/AML, -FPD), caused by monoallelic deleterious germline variants, is characterized by bleeding diathesis and predisposition for hematologic malignancies, particularly myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Clinical data on FPDMM-associated AML (FPDMM-AML) are limited, complicating evidence-based clinical decision-making. Here, we present retrospective genetic and clinical data of the largest cohort of FPDMM patients reported to date.

Objective: We aimed to address the predictive value of urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) and soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) for contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in elderly patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: One hundred thirty-six patients who underwent PCI were separated into the CI-AKI group (n = 36) and the non-CI-AKI group (n = 100) based on CI-AKI occurrence after operation, and their general data were collected. Blood and urine specimens were collected before operation (at the time of admission) and 6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h after the operation and preserved for future use.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in the placenta can lead to fetal distress and demise, characterized by severe trophoblast necrosis, chronic histiocytic intervillositis (CHI), and massive perivillous fibrin deposition. We aimed to uncover spatial immune-related protein changes in SARS-CoV-2 placentitis compared with CHI placentas and uncomplicated pregnancies to gain insight into the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. Placentas were retrospectively collected from cases with SARS-CoV-2 placentitis resulting in fetal distress/demise (n = 9), CHI (n = 9), and uncomplicated term controls (n = 9).
