Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2 (BCL2) polymorphisms and susceptibility to anti-tuberculous therapy-associated drug-induced liver injury (ATT-DILI).
Methods: A total of 746 tuberculosis (TB) patients were enrolled in this study. Twenty-one selected single nucleotide polymorphisms in BCL2 were analyzed by custom-by-design 2×48-Plex SNPscan kit. The allele and genotype frequencies between patients with and without ATT-DILI were compared using three different genetic models.
Results: A total of 727/746 participants were successfully genotyped, and 112 of them were diagnosed with ATT-DILI. The A allele of rs8085707, G allele of rs76986960, and A allele of rs949037 conferred an increased risk of ATT-DILI, with estimated odd ratios (ORs) of 2.181 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.345-3.536, p=0.001), 1.983 (95% CI 1.060-3.709, p=0.029), and 1.390 (95% CI 1.032-1.873, p=0.03), respectively. Bonferroni correction indicated that the A allele of rs8085707 was a risk factor for ATT-DILI (Bonferroni correction: p=0.026). The additive model suggested that patients with the AA genotype of rs8085707 had a significantly higher risk of ATT-DILI compared with those with the GG genotype (Bonferroni correction: p=0.036). The influence of BCL2 polymorphisms on clinical characteristics (clinical symptoms, disease subtypes, and laboratory indicators) was also identified.
Conclusions: This study is novel in suggesting an association between BCL2 polymorphisms and the risk of ATT-DILI.

The purpose of this study was to comprehensively analyze the prediction role of NADPH oxidase (NOX)-related polymorphisms (NCF4: rs1883112, CYBA: rs4673, RAC2: rs13058338) and immunohistochemical indices on survival in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).The impact of NOX polymorphisms were evaluated in 335 DLBCL patients treated with R (rituximab)-CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) from Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital. We also collected information on their immunohistochemical expression and clinical outcomes.

The current study aimed to detect the mutagenic impacts of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), which is produced by Aspergillus group fungi, via a high-plant genotoxicity test. Different durations of treatment (3 h, 6 h, and 12 h) were used to treat the Vicia faba root tips with varying concentrations of Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) following the approved protocol for plant assays published by the International Program on Chemical Safety (IPCS) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The data obtained indicated that AFB1 not only has the ability to induce various alterations in the process of mitosis, ranging from increasing to decreasing mitotic and phase indices but also leads to many mitotic aberrations.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a multifactorial polygenic disease that develops as a result of a complex interaction of numerous genetic factors and the external environment. Accordingly, the contribution of each of them separately is usually not large and may significantly depend on the state of other accompanying factors. The purpose of the study was to search for informative predictors of MI risk based on polygenic analysis of polymorphic variants of (1) the antioxidant defense enzyme genes PON1 (rs662), PON2 (rs7493), CAT (rs1001179), MSRA (rs10098474) and GSTP1 (rs1695); (2) the apoptosis genes CASP8 (rs3834129), TP53 (rs1042522) and BCL2 (rs12454712); and (3) the inflammation genes CRP (rs1205), CX3CR1 (rs3732378), IL6 (rs1800795) and CCL2 (rs1024611).

Introduction: Primary bone marrow diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is a rare clinical entity, and the "bone marrow-liver-spleen" type of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is rarer, with only a few published cases in literature. Though bone marrow-liver-spleen-type diffuse large B-cell lymphoma has unique presentations such as fever, cytopenias, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, no cases with cold autoimmune hemolytic anemia have been reported.
Case Presentation: A 39-year-old Sri Lankan woman, previously healthy, presented with shortness of breath, productive cough, and fever for 4 days.

A 60-year-old male was admitted for obstructive jaundice secondary to a 2 cm retroperitoneal lesion. Ultrasound endoscopy (UES) with fine needle biopsy (FNB) was performed, as well as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with placement of a metal stent for bile duct drainage. Initially IgG4-related disease was suspected from FNB.
