We compared the International Prognostic Index (IPI), Revised (R)-IPI and age-adjusted (aa)-IPI as prognostic indices for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the UK National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI) R-CHOP 14 versus 21 trial (N = 1080). The R-IPI and aa-IPI showed no marked improvement compared to the IPI for overall and progression-free survival, in terms of model fit or discrimination. Similar results were observed in exploratory analyses incorporating the Grupo Español de Linfomas/Transplante de Médula Ósea (GELTAMO)-IPI, where baseline β2-microglobulin data were available (N = 655). Although our findings support current use of the IPI, a novel prognostic tool to better delineate a high-risk DLBCL group in the rituximab era is needed.

Early therapy contributes to the normalization of platelet in patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome during the convalescent phase.
PLoS Negl Trop Dis

Department of Infectious Disease, Peking University Ditan Teaching Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: Platelet recovery was an important prognostic indicator in severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS). This study focused on risk factors affecting platelet recovery in surviving SFTS patients, which can assist clinicians in the early screening of patients associated with a greater risk of mortality.
Method: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of SFTS patients admitted to Yantai Qishan Hospital throughout 2023.
Temporal increase in Ki-67 index in patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours.

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs) have intra-tumour heterogeneity, notably regarding the Ki-67 index, which is a major prognostic factor. The temporal evolution of PanNET biology is poorly known. We aimed to study the prognostic impact of the temporal evolution of Ki-67 and other molecular markers (MEN1, ATRX/DAXX, PDX1/ARX) in PanNETs.

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), a biomarker secreted by Sertoli cells in the testes, has emerged as a critical indicator of male reproductive function with significant clinical application potential. AMH reflects Sertoli cell activity and plays a pivotal role across different stages of male gonadal function. Firstly, in prepubertal males, AMH levels are crucial for assessing testicular development and the progression of puberty, with delayed or insufficient AMH secretion often being associated with disorders like delayed puberty.

Objective: We aimed at identifying acute phase biomarkers in Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (SFTS), and to establish a model to predict mortality outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on multicenter clinical data. Group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM) was utilized to demonstrate the overall trend of laboratory indicators and their correlation with mortality.

Background: We previously described the enrichment of plasma exosome metabolites in CRPC, PCa, and TFC cohorts, and found significant differences in pyrimidine metabolites. The PMGs is associated with the clinical prognosis of several cancers, but its biological role in PCa is still unclear.
Methods: This study extracted 98 reliable PMGs, and analyzed their somatic mutations, expression levels, and prognostic significance.
