Administration of granulocyte CSF preparation to patients with chronic heart failure produced a hemostimulating effect and increased the content of leukocytes and neutrophils in the peripheral blood. Granulocyte CSF induced mobilization of bone marrow progenitor cells into the peripheral blood. The content of hemopoietic CD34(+)progenitor cells, which attained 0.42% (0.25-0.64) by the end of mobilization, inversely correlated with the number of myocardial infarctions. Administration of granulocyte CSF not only led to mobilization of bone marrow hemopoietic cells, but also increased the pool of endothelial progenitor cells in the peripheral blood: the content of CD34(+)/CD133(+)and CD34(+)/KDR(+)attained 0.02% (0.013-0.075) and 0.1% (0.05-0.20), respectively. Peripheral blood is an available source of progenitor cells, while mononuclear cells after administration of granulocyte CSF can produce a reparative effect on ischemic myocardium.

Objectives: CD19-targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy can induce long-term drug-free remission in patients with autoimmune diseases (AIDs). The efficacy of CD19-CAR T-cell therapy is presumably based on deep tissue depletion of B cells; however, such effect has not been proven in humans in vivo.
Methods: Sequential ultrasound-guided inguinal lymph node biopsies were performed at baseline and after CD19-CAR T-cell therapy in patients with AIDs.

Donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) are essential causes of graft rejection in haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). DSAs are unavoidable for some patients who have no alternative donor. Effective interventions to reduce DSAs are still needed, and the cost of the current therapies is relatively high.

Objective: The progress made in cancer immunology has led to the development of innovative therapeutic strategies. However, despite these advances, the superficial characteristics of immune cells have been frequently overlooked: This oversight may be attributed to a limited understanding of the intricate relationships between immune cells and their microenvironment. This study seeks to address this limitation by comprehensively examining cell size and granularity in breast cancer (BC) patients and healthy donors (HD).

Nitrous oxide (NO) abuse is becoming increasingly popular worldwide. Moreover, the use of NO combined with other substances, such as alcohol, is also common. Accidental deaths associated with NO abuse are rare in forensic practice, with most fatal cases involving continuous inhalation equipment or exposure in a confined space.
