Acute anterior uveitis (AAU) can cause great pain to patients. Th cytokines in peripheral blood are significantly changed in these patients, including serum interleukin-23 (IL-23), interleukin-17 (IL-17), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) increase. However, the relationship between Th cytokines and recurrence of AAU is still unclear. Ninety-two cases of AAU were enrolled from January 2020 to April 2022 in our hospital (observation group). Levels of peripheral blood Th cytokines were detected, which were compared between acute and remission stages. After 6 months of follow-up, the relationships between Th cytokines in peripheral blood and recurrence in the observation group were analyzed. The prediction of Th cytokines on recurrence was analyzed. (1) The recurrence rate was 25.00%, and there were no statistical differences in the serum IL-23, IL-17, IL-4, IFN-γ, TNF-α and TGF-β 1 levels between patients with bilateral disease and unilateral disease ( < 0.05). (2) The serum IL-23, IL-17, IL-4, IFN-γ, TNF-α and TGF-β 1 levels of recurrence patients were higher than those of non-recurrence ( = 2.971, 5.357, 2.197, 2.766, 4.395, 2.983,  < 0.05). (3) The serum IL-23, IL-17, TNF-α levels were risk factors for recurrence (OR = 1.035, 1.210, 1.155,  < 0.05). (4) There were positive relationships between serum IL-23, IL-17, IL-4, IFN-γ, TNF-α and TGF-β 1 levels and recurrence ( = 0.317, 0.526, 0.248, 0.304, 0.480, 0.325,  < 0.05).            .

In patients with transplant-eligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, induction therapy with a quadruplet regimen prior to autologous transplant is the standard of care. The phase III IFM2020-02-MIDAS study (NCT04934475) assessed a minimal residual disease (MRD)-driven consolidation and maintenance strategy following induction with isatuximab, carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (IsaKRD). Here, we report safety and efficacy outcomes of six 28-day cycles of IsaKRD.

Human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) technology has been applied in pathogenesis studies, drug screening, tissue engineering, and stem cell therapy, and patient-specific hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) have shown promise in disease modeling, including diabetic cardiomyopathy. High glucose (HG) treatment induces lipotoxicity in hiPSC-CMs, as evidenced by changes in cell size, beating rate, calcium handling, and lipid accumulation. Empagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, effectively mitigates the hypertrophic changes, abnormal calcium handling, and contractility impairment induced by HG.

The identification and categorization of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood are imperative for advancing cancer diagnostics and prognostics. The intricacy of various CTCs subtypes, coupled with the difficulty in developing exhaustive datasets, has impeded progress in this specialized domain. To date, no methods have been dedicated exclusively to overcoming the classification challenges of CTCs.

Telomere shortening in donor cell-derived acute promyelocytic leukemia after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: a case report.

Donor cell leukemia (DCL), in which malignancy evolves from donor's stem cells, is an infrequent complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) derived from donor cell is extremely rare and only four cases have been reported to date. Herein we report a case of donor cell-derived APL developing 32 months after haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation using posttransplant cyclophosphamide for myelodysplastic syndromes.
