Background: Red blood cell distribution width/platelet count ratio (RPR) is a reliable prognostic assessment indicator for numerous diseases. However, no studies to date have examined the relationship between RPR and the prognosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the correlation between RPR and the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
Methods: We retrospectively studied 143 patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL and used the median value as the RPR threshold. We also investigated the correlation of pretreatment RPR level with clinical characteristics and its impact on DLBCL prognosis.
Results: Using the median value as the cut-off, patients with DLBCL were divided into a low RPR group (＜0.0549) and a high RPR group (≥0.0549). Patients in the high RPR group were older, had a later Ann Arbor stage, were prone to bone marrow invasion, and had a higher National Comprehensive Cancer Network International Prognostic Index score (＜0.05). A survival analysis showed that progression-free survival (PFS) (=0.003) and overall survival (OS) (＜0.0001) were significantly shorter in the high versus low RPR group. A multifactorial Cox analysis showed that bone marrow invasion and elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were separate risk factors for PFS (＜0.05), while an RPR ≥0.0549 and elevated LDH were separate risk factors for OS (＜0.05).
Conclusion: A high RPR (≥0.0549) in patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL is an independent risk factor for a poor prognosis.

Given the significance of investigating ovarian reserve in infertile women, the limitations of existing diagnostic tests, and the absence of similar studies in this area, the present study aimed to examine the relationship between systemic inflammatory markers in patients with diminished ovarian reserve referred to the fertility clinic of Alzahra Hospital in Rasht in the year 2023. This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted on 174 patients referred to the Alzahra Hospital fertility clinic in Rasht. Patients were divided into two categories based on their serum levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH):AMH >1.

Aldol reactions are one of the most fundamental organic reactions involving the formation of carbon-carbon bonds that are commonly used in the synthesis of complex molecules through the condensation of an enol or enolate with a carbonyl group. The aldol reaction of thiohydantoin derivatives with benzaldehyde starts with hydrogen removal from C5 by lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) to form the enolate. Benzaldehyde adds to the enolate either at the less or more hindered site.

Despite interest in developing therapeutics that leverage binding pockets in structured RNAs-whose dysregulation leads to diseases-such drug discovery efforts are limited. Here, we have used a small molecule microarray (SMM) screen to find inhibitors of a large ribozyme: the Methanobrevibacter smithii RNase P RNA (Msm RPR, ∼300 nt). The ribonucleoprotein form of RNase P, which catalyzes the 5'-maturation of precursor tRNAs, is a suitable drug target as it is essential, structurally diverse across life domains, and present in low copy.

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of spectacle lenses designed to control myopia progression in individuals under 18 years old, focusing on changes in spherical equivalent refraction (SER), axial length (AL) and relative peripheral refraction (RPR).
Methods: A systematic review was conducted according to Prisma guidelines. Databases searched included PubMed, Embase, and Scopus, covering studies from the last six years without language restrictions.

Recent studies underscore the beneficial impacts of oral natural plant extracts on human skin health, though clinical evidence of their efficacy and safety is limited. This study evaluates the skin health effects of a novel oral supplement containing , , and rose extracts (RPR) 0.70 healthy female participants were randomly assigned to either a control group or an RPR group, with the latter ingesting 20 mL of the RPR supplement daily on an empty stomach over 8 weeks.
