Analysis of the disease course in 17 patients afflicted with hairy-cell leukemia enabled the authors to specify 3 clinico-hematologic variants of the disease: a typical or a splenic one (with a predominant injury to the spleen), an atypical or bone marrow one (with a predominant injury to bone marrow), and a hypoplastic one. The bone marrow variant was characterized by the most pronounced leukemic injuries to bone marrow, severe bacterial complications, and the most unfavourable prognosis. The remaining variants were marked by their own individual features and ran a more favourable course. The division of hairy-cell leukemia into 3 variants promotes the improvement of the disease diagnosis and the elaboration of the optimal treatment policy in each specific case as well as the disease prognosis. The pathogenetic heterogeneity of the hairy-cell leukemia variants is discussed.

Osteoporosis (OP) is a common clinical bone disease that can cause a high incidence of non-stress fractures and is one of the main degenerative diseases that endangers the health and life of middle-aged and older women. The mechanism underlying the abnormal differentiation and function of human bone marrow stem cells (hBMSCs) remains to be elucidated. Cell proliferation and differentiation were determined using 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo (-z-y1)-3,5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide (MTT) assay, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, and Alizarin Red Staining.

In the MAIA study (median follow-up, 56.2 months), daratumumab plus lenalidomide and dexamethasone (D-Rd) significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival versus lenalidomide and dexamethasone (Rd) alone in transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). In this post hoc analysis of clinically important subgroups in MAIA (median follow-up, 64.

Expression of CD2, CD25 and/or CD30 in extracutaneous mast cells (MC) is a minor diagnostic criterion for systemic mastocytosis (SM) in the classification of the World Health Organization and International Consensus Classification. So far, it remains unknown whether expression of these antigens on MC is of prognostic significance in SM. We performed a retrospective multi-center study of patients with SM using the data set of the registry of the European Competence Network on Mastocytosis, including 5034 patients with various MC disorders.

Transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) is an increasingly recognized complication in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Given the rarity of prospective pediatric studies on TA-TMA, this study aimed to evaluate the incidence, survival outcomes, and risk factors for predicting early the development of TA-TMA in a pediatric population following allogeneic HCT. We conducted a prospective analysis of 173 pediatric patients to evaluate the incidence, survival outcome, and risk factors of TA-TMA.
