Objective: To observe the efficacy of matched unrelated donor hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) with transfusion of multipotent mesenchymal cells (MSC) in pediatric severe aplastic anemia (SAA).
Methods: 19 children with SAA received matched unrelated donor HSCT with MSC, and the hematopoietic recovery and transplant-associated complications of these children were monitored.
Results: All patients achieved rapid hematopoietic reconstruction after HSCT, and the median durations to neutrophil and platelet recovery were 12 (9-21) days and 14 (8-24) days respectively, but delayed rejection occurred in one case four months after HSCT. 9 cases developed grade Ⅰ acute graft-versus-host (aGVHD), and one case grade Ⅲ aGVHD and diffuse chronic graft-versus-host. Cytomegalovirus viremias were observed in 15 patients. 2 cases developed hemorrhagic cystitis, 10 children experienced infections. All the children were alive during a median following-up time of 27(8-70) months, one of them developed LPD and received rituximab and chemotherapy, delayed rejection occurred in this patient four months after HSCT, Haplo-identical HSCT from his father as the donor was performed and achieved successful engraftment.
Conclusion: The matched unrelated donor HSCT with MSC in pediatric SAA was safe and effective.

Detection of alteration in carotid artery volumetry using standard-of-care computed tomography surveillance scans following unilateral radiation therapy for early-stage tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma survivors: a cross-sectional internally-matched carotid isodose analysis.

Aim: This study leveraged standard-of-care CT scans of patients receiving unilateral radiotherapy (RT) for early tonsillar cancer to detect volumetric changes in the carotid arteries, and determine whether there is a dose-response relationship.
Methods: Disease-free cancer survivors (>3 months since therapy and age > 18 years) treated with intensity modulated RT for early (T1-2, N0-2b) tonsillar cancer with pre- and post-therapy contrast-enhanced CT scans available were included. Patients treated with definitive surgery, bilateral RT, or additional RT before the post-RT CT scan were excluded.

Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) constitute a heterogeneous group of clinically and genetically diverse conditions, standing as a primary cause of visual impairment among individuals aged 15-45, with an estimated incidence of 1:2000. Our study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the genetic variants underlying IRDs in the Turkish population. This study included 50 unrelated Turkish IRD patients and their families.

: The implementation of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has brought a significant improvement in the prognosis for CML patients and a decrease in the number of patients requiring allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Nevertheless, the impact of TKIs on allo-HCT outcomes has not been thoroughly explored. : The main endpoint of our research was to assess the impact of prior TKI treatment on acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) and chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD).

In allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), a minority of patients have access to a suitable human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched related donor (MRD). To fill this gap, matched unrelated donors (MUDs) are an increasingly selected donor source. Usage and outcomes after MUD HCT for Canada are not described.

Objectives: To assess the association between life events and subsequent diagnosis of systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs) by comparing siblings discordant for SARDs and unrelated controls.
Methods: Life events 12 months prior to SARD diagnosis/reference date were queried using the Interview for Recent Life Events in 227 adults (96 probands with SARDs, 78 siblings, 53 controls). Probands were matched by age, sex, and race with their unaffected siblings or with unrelated controls.
