To study hematopoietic stem cell transplantation-related bleeding prognosis and construct a bleeding prediction model. The clinical data of 555 patients with malignant hematologic diseases who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation between May 1(st) 2004, and April 1(st) 2012 was analyzed retrospectively, and a prediction model was constructed. Of the 555 patients, a total of 302 (54.0% ) patients exhibited bleeding events of varying degrees, including 151 (27.0% ) with grade Ⅰ bleeding, 63 (11.0% ) with grade Ⅱ bleeding, 48 (9.0% ) with grade Ⅲ bleeding, and 40 (7.0% ) with grade Ⅳ bleeding. Multifactorial analysis showed that the overall mortality (=12.53, 95% 7.91-19.87, <0.001) and non-recurrence mortality (=23.79, 95% 12.23-46.26, <0.001) were higher in patients with higher bleeding grades (Ⅲ and Ⅳ bleeding) compared to those with lower bleeding grades. Additionally, the donor's underlying disease, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) score, poor platelet reconstitution, and ineffective platelet transfusion were independently associated with bleeding risk. The bleeding model constructed using the above variables showed good accuracy (C-Index=0.934) , and its efficacy was significantly higher than previous bleeding models. Hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients are at increased risk of death after a bleeding event. The cross-validated bleeding risk prediction model is valuable for early intervention.

Myelodysplastic syndromes/neoplasms (MDS) are a widely heterogenous group of myeloid malignancies characterized by morphologic dysplasia, a defective hematopoiesis, and recurrent genetic abnormalities. The original and revised International Prognostic Scoring Systems (IPSS) have been used to risk-stratify patients with MDS to guide treatment strategies. In higher-risk MDS, the therapeutic approach is geared toward delaying leukemic transformation and prolonging survival.

Adult tissue stem cells of the anterior pituitary gland, CD9/SOX2-positive cells, are believed to exist in the marginal cell layer (MCL) bordering the residual lumen of the Rathke's pouch. These cells migrate from the intermediate lobe side of the MCL (IL-MCL) to the anterior lobe side of the MCL and may be involved in supplying hormone-producing cells. Previous studies reported that some SOX2-positive cells of the anterior lobe differentiate into skeletal muscle cells.

Purpose Of Review: Bone marrow adipose tissue is a distinctive fat depot located within the skeleton, with the potential to influence both local and systemic metabolic processes. Although significant strides have been made in understanding bone marrow adipose tissue over the past decade, many questions remain regarding their precise lineage and functional roles.
Recent Findings: Recent studies have highlighted bone marrow adipose tissue's involvement in continuous cross-talk with other organs and systems, exerting both endocrine and paracrine functions that play a crucial role in metabolic homeostasis, skeletal remodeling, hematopoiesis, and the progression of bone metastases.

Background: The management of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is based on the prognostic risk classification of initial leukemia. Targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a reliable method used to identify recurrently mutated genes of pediatric AML and associated prognosis.
Methods: In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the prognostic, and therapeutic utility of a targeted NGS panel covering twenty-five genes, in 21 children with de novo and 8 with relapsed or secondary AML.
