The Japanese crested ibis Nipponia nippon is a critically threatened bird. We assessed genetic diversity and structure in the Sado captive population of the Japanese crested ibis based on 24 and 50 microsatellite markers developed respectively for the same and related species. Of a total of 74 loci, 19 showed polymorphisms in the five founder birds of the population, and therefore were useful for the analysis of genetic diversity and structure. Genetic diversity measures, A, ne, He, Hoand PIC, obtained by genotyping of the 138 descendants were similar to those of other species with population bottlenecks, and thus considerably low. The low level of genetic diversity resulting from such bottlenecks was consistent with the results of lower genetic diversity measures for the Sado captive relative to the Chinese population that is the source population for the Sado group as determined using previously reported data and heterozygosity excess by Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium tests. Further, individual clustering based on the allele-sharing distance and Bayesian model-based clustering revealed that the founder genomes were equally at population in total, and with various admixture patterns at individual levels inherited by the descendants. The clustering results, together with the result of inheritance of all alleles of the microsatellites from the founders to descendants, suggest that planned mating in captive-breeding programs for the population has succeeded in maintaining genetic diversity and minimizing kinship. In addition, the Bayesian model-based clustering assumed two different components of genomes in the Sado captive Japanese crested ibis, supporting a considerably low level of genetic diversity.

This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of gilteritinib combined with chemotherapy in treating newly diagnosed FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We retrospectively collected clinical data from 16 patients newly diagnosed with FLT3-mutated AML at Jiangsu Province Hospital. Patients received induction therapy with the classic "3 + 7" regimen or the VA regimen, and all patients were immediately supplied with gilteritinib after detecting FLT3-ITD/TKD mutations.

This study aimed to primarily discuss the pathogenesis of hereditary coagulation factor Ⅴ (FⅤ) deficiency in a family with a consanguineous cousin marriage. The coagulation indices of the pedigree (three generations with seven individuals) and the thrombin levels of the proband and his father were assessed. All exons of the F5 gene were analyzed with Sanger sequencing, and a new mutation was confirmed with reverse sequencing.

This study aimed to summarize the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with bone marrow invasive follicular lymphoma (FL) and discuss the treatment modalities. This study included 183 consecutive patients with FL accompanied by bone marrow invasion and receiving regular treatment at the Hospital of Hematology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, from January 2013 to December 2022. Clinical data were retrospectively collected and analyzed, and single and multifactorial analyses of survival prognosis were conducted with the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression model.

Introduction: Dyslipidemia is characterized by changes in lipid and lipoprotein levels in the blood where phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) helps to regulate and modulate the size of high-density lipoproteins (HDL), working on the reverse transport of cholesterol. ApoA-1 is the primary protein component of HDL, and certain genetic variants like rs5072, have been associated with hypertriglyceridemia in children. This study aimed to explore the association between PLTP concentrations and the effect of the genetic variant APOA1 rs5072 on hypertriglyceridemia and atherogenic dyslipidemia (AD) in the pediatric population of Southeastern Mexico.
