Alpha-1-antitrypsin phenotypes in leukaemia and lymphoma.

Published: September 1990

Serum samples from 564 Caucasian patients suffering from either leukaemia or lymphoma were typed for the protease inhibitor (Pi) alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT). No evidence was found for the predisposition of any Pi phenotype to leukaemia or lymphoma. However, the frequency of PiM3 was significantly lowered among patients with acute myeloid leukaemia.

Background: In vivo T-cell depletion with antithymocyte globulin (ATG), especially at high-doses has been shown to be associated with increased incidence of infections after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, it remains unclear whether ATG, even at low-doses increases the risk of posttransplant infections in the high-risk HSCT setting.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective study of viral and fungal infections early after transplantation, using the data from 82 patients with hematological malignancies.

Purpose: To assess care needs related to sexual and reproductive health of patients and survivors diagnosed with cancer during adolescence and young adulthood (AYA).

Methods: Participants (N = 190) were predominantly female (87.4%) and diagnosed with cancer between age 12-39 years.

Acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is a highly heterogeneous hematologic malignancy, characterized by significant molecular differences among patients as the disease progresses. While the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and metabolic reprogramming are known to play crucial roles in B-ALL, the interactions between lipid metabolism, immune pathways, and drug resistance remain unclear. In this study, we performed multi-omics analysis on different patient cohorts (newly diagnosed, relapsed, standard-risk, and poor-risk) to investigate the molecular characteristics associated with metabolism, signaling pathways, and immune regulation in B-ALL.

Identification of a novel TOP2B::AFF2 fusion gene in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Department of Hematology and Oncology, National Clinical Research Center for Child Health and Disorders, Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Child Development and Disorders, Chongqing Key Laboratory of Pediatric Metabolism and Inflammatory Diseases, Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, No 136 Zhongshan 2 road, YuZhong district, Chongqing, 400014, China.

Genetic alterations play a pivotal role in leukemic clonal transformation, significantly influencing disease pathogenesis and clinical outcomes. Here, we report a novel fusion gene and investigate its pathogenic role in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We engineer a transposon transfection system expressing the TOP2B::AFF2 transcript and introduce it into Ba/F3 cells.

Gut microbiota disruptions after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) are associated with increased risk of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). We designed a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial to test whether healthy-donor fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) early after alloHCT reduces the incidence of severe aGVHD. Here, we report the results from the single-arm run-in phase which identified the best of 3 stool donors for the randomized phase.
