Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is associated with a higher prevalence and distinctive clinical characteristics and outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of adult DLBCL patients from 2011 to 2015 was studied.
Results: A total of 206 adult DLBCL were enrolled with 22 (10.7%) HCV-positive patients. Compared to HCV-negative patients, the HCV-positive group had a poor performance status ( = 0.011), lower platelet count ( = 0.029), and higher spleen and liver involvement incidences (liver involvement, = 0.027, spleen involvement, = 0.026), and they received fewer cycles of chemotherapy significantly due to morbidity and mortality ( = 0.048). Overall survival was shorter in HCV-positive DLBCL (25.3 months in HCV-positive vs. not reached (NR), = 0.049). With multivariate analysis, poor performance status ( < 0.001), advanced stage ( < 0.001), less chemotherapy cycles ( < 0.001), and the presence of liver toxicity ( = 0.001) contributed to poor OS in DLBCL. Among HCV-positive DLBCL, the severity of liver fibrosis was the main risk factor related to death.
Conclusion: Inferior survival of HCV-positive DLBCL was observed and associated with poor performance status, higher numbers of complications, and intolerance of treatment, leading to fewer therapy. Therefore, anti-HCV therapy, such as direct-acting antiviral agents, might benefit these patients in the future.

Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention of severely calcified lesions is limited by inadequate stent expansion and poor clinical outcomes. Over the past decade, several devices and techniques have been developed for calcium modification and lesion preparation. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is a novel tool in this context.

Background: In asthma, obesity status is associated with poor control and high exacerbation rates. The primary objective was to determine the effect of bariatric surgery (BS) on asthma control and exacerbations.
Methods: Retrospective study with a 3-year cohort of obese patients before and after BS: a baseline period (P0) covering the 12 months before BS and P1 and P2 periods covering the first and second years after BS, respectively.

Considering the high degree of malignancy, recurrence rate and poor prognosis, exploring promising targets is an imperious strategy for colorectal carcinoma therapy. Recent studies have indicated that GABPα plays a role in cancer aggressiveness, but its exact function and regulatory mechanisms in colorectal cancer progression remain unclear. This study aims to explore the biological role of GABPα and its upstream regulator, miR-378a-5p, in modulating cancer progression.
