Objective: To study the correlation between expression of CD200 and regulatory T cells (Tregs) in multiple myeloma(MM) patients and to explore its significance in prognostic stratification.

Methods: CD200 and other immunophenotypes, including CD38, CD138, CD56, CD19, CD20, CD117, cytoplasm light chain Kappa and Lambda in bone marrow samples, and Tregs in peripheral blood were detected by flow cytometry from 78 newly diagnosed MM patients. Serum concentrations of hemoglobin(Hb), β2 microglobulin (β2-MG) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were detected, respectively. The new risk stratification of patients was carried out according to international stage system (ISS) and cytogenetic characteristics. The correlation between expression of CD200 and Tregs in MM patients was analyzed and their differences in prognosis were compared.

Results: The positive rate of CD200 expression was 71.79% in 78 patients (56/78). The expression of CD200 in sex and age of patients was no significant different. The expression of CD117 in CD200 group was significantly higher than that of in CD200 group (P=0.032). There was no significant difference in the expression of CD20, CD56 and CD19 between 2 groups. The level of Hb in CD200 group was significantly lower than that in CD200 group (P=0.035). The level of β2-MG in CD200 group was significantly higher than that in CD200 group (P=0.013). There was no significant difference in the level of LDH between 2 groups. In CD200 group, 17 patients were in stageⅠ, accounting for 58.62% (17/29), 30 patients were in stageⅡ, accounting for 75% (30/40), 9 patients were in stage Ⅲ, accounting for 100% (9/9). With the increase of CD200 expression intensity, the risk of prognostic stratification went up (P=0). The brighter CD200 expressed, the worse the prognosis was. The percentage of Trges in CD200 group was significantly higher than that of in CD200 group (P=0.043). The content of Tregs was positively correlated with the expression of CD200 (r=0.743, P=0.044). Overall survival in CD200 group was significantly higher than that in CD200 group (P=0.036). Progression-free survival in CD200 group was a bit higher than that of in CD200 group, but it wasn't statistically significant.

Conclusion: The expression of CD200 positively correlates with the percentage of Tregs in MM patients. It is an important factor of poor prognosis and a reliable indicator for the evaluation by clinical efficacy in MM patients.

Background: Clonal mature B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders (B-LPDs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasia characterized by the proliferation of mature B lymphocytes in the peripheral blood, bone marrow and/or lymphoid tissues. B-LPDs classification into different subtypes and their diagnosis is based on a multiparametric approach. However, accurate diagnosis may be challenging, especially in cases of ambiguous interpretation.

Background And Objectives: Androgenetic alopecia is one of the common types of hair loss and has become a medical and social problem due to its increasingly young onset. Existing therapies, although effective, have serious side effects and therefore better treatments need to be sought. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia and to investigate the mechanism of exosome regulation of hair growth.

Background: Numerous diseases are associated with the interplay of mitochondrial and macrophage polarization. However, the correlation of mitochondria-related genes (MRGs) and macrophage polarization-related genes (MPRGs) with the prognosis of glioma remains unclear. This study aimed to examine this relationship based on bioinformatic analysis.

Background: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is characterized by a wide range of tumor-induced immune alterations. Regulatory T cells (Treg) play a central role in these immune responses. CD200 and Leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor-1 (LAIR-1, CD305) are inhibitory markers said to be involved in Treg immune response.

Background: CD200, a negative regulator of T cells as well as a marker for cancer stem cells, represents a significant prognostic factor and potential therapeutic target in certain cancers. However, its clinical significance remains unknown in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Methods: CD200 was assessed in 220 resected PDAC patients who underwent surgery with or without neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT).
