Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were generated from erythroblasts (EBLs) obtained from a patient diagnosed with Gray Platelet Syndrome (GPS), caused by compound heterozygous NBEAL2 mutations (c.6568delT and c.7937T>C). GPS is an autosomal recessive bleeding disorder characterized by a lack of α-granules in platelets and progressive myelofibrosis. EBLs were reprogrammed with CytoTune-iPS 2.0 Sendai Reprogramming Kit, where the generated iPSCs showed normal karyotype, expression of pluripotency associated markers and in vitro spontaneous differentiation towards the three germ layers. The generated iPSCs can be used to study GPS pathophysiology and the basic functions of NBEAL2 protein in different cell types.

Incident thrombocytopenia and bleeding risk in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation on direct oral anticoagulants: insights from the ATHEROsclerosis in Atrial Fibrillation study.
Res Pract Thromb Haemost
October 2024
Department of Clinical Internal, Anesthesiological and Cardiovascular Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy.
Background: The bleeding risk of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) changes over time. Most studies thus far evaluated only the baseline bleeding risk with discordant results. The impact of incident thrombocytopenia during direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) therapy and its relation to bleeding has not been previously investigated.

January 2025
Department of Stomatology, Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a highly aggressive salivary gland malignancy with poor prognosis. The aim was to investigate the prognostic factors and survival outcomes in a cohort of SDC patients.
Materials And Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data of 61 SDC patients treated at the First Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital between January 2010 and December 2020.
Proteins Involved in Endothelial Function and Inflammation Are Implicated in Cerebral Small Vessel Disease.
Stroke
January 2025
Stroke Research Group, Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom. (Z.S., E.L.H., H.S.M.).
Background: Endothelial dysfunction and inflammation have been implicated in the pathophysiology of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD). However, whether they are causal, and if so which components of the pathways represent potential treatment targets, remains uncertain.
Methods: Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) was used to test the association between the circulating abundance of 996 proteins involved in endothelial dysfunction and inflammation and SVD.
Long-term outcome and risk stratification in compensated advanced chronic liver disease after HCV-cure.
Hepatology
February 2025
Department of Medicine III, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.
Background And Aims: Around 750,000 patients per year will be cured of HCV infection until 2030. Those with compensated advanced chronic liver disease remain at risk for hepatic decompensation and de novo HCC. Algorithms have been developed to stratify risk early after cure; however, data on long-term outcomes and the prognostic utility of these risk stratification algorithms at later time points are lacking.

We conducted this meta-analysis to evaluate the levels of NLR and PLR of patients with periodontitis compared to those of healthy controls. METHODS: Web of Science, PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus, and Open Grey were searched for studies published before October 20, 2024, without any limitation on date and language; then, using the random-effects model, we reported a standardized mean difference (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI).
