Objective: To investigate the prognostic value of bone marrow uptake pattern in F-deoxyglucose (F-FDG) PET/CT imaging before diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) treatment.
Methods: The clinical data of 156 patients with DLBCL were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent bone marrow biopsy, bone marrow smear, flow cytometry and F-FDG PET/CT scan before treatment. Taking normal liver F-FDG uptake as the standard, the bone marrow uptake patterns of patients were divided into three types: focal increased bone marrow uptake (fPET), diffusely increased bone marrow uptake (dPET), and normal bone marrow uptake (nPET). Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test was used for comparison of differences between groups, and multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to identify risk factors associated with prognosis.
Results: Among the 156 patients, 17 cases were fPET, 28 cases were dPET, and 111 cases were nPET. Clinical diagnosis of bone marrow infiltration (BMI) was positive in 21 cases and negative in 135 cases. There were 62 cases of recurrence and progression, and 18 cases of death. Univariate analysis showed that Ann Arbor stage III/IV, B symptoms, NCCN-IPI score, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), BMI and fPET were associated with progression-free survival (PFS) (all < 0.05), while Ann Arbor stage III/IV, NCCN-IPI score, LDH, BMI and fPET were associated with overall survival (OS) (all < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that Ann Arbor stage III/IV, LDH and fPET were independent predictors of PFS (all < 0.05). There were no independent predictors of OS in multivariate analysis.
Conclusion: The bone marrow uptake pattern of F-FDG imaging in DLBCL patients before treatment has a predictive value for DLBCL, while fPET is an independent risk factor for PFS.

Background: Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been used as an effective noninvasive method for treating fractures and osteoarthrosis, but the application in the field of oral implantation is in its infancy. This study aimed to clarify the effect and mechanism of LIPUS on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and implant osseointegration, and to provide an experimental basis for future clinical applications.
Methods: Dental implants were inserted into Wistar rat femurs, and LIPUS was performed for 4 weeks.

Background: Cancer immunotherapy using immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has revolutionized cancer treatment. However, patients with multiple myeloma (MM) rarely respond to ICB. Accumulating evidence indicates that the complicated tumor microenvironment (TME) significantly impacts the efficacy of ICB therapy.

A man in his 60s suffered from refractory, biopsy-proven subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus that required chronic, moderate dose steroids to manage. His rash was accompanied by arthralgias and negative autoantibody testing. His subacute lupus erythematosus (SCLE) was responsive to tofacitinib, but thrombotic complications limited the use of this medication.

Background: Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is a commonly used graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, particularly in the setting of haploidentical (haplo) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The rate of graft failure has been reported to be as high as 12-20% in haplo-HCT recipients using PTCy. The objective of this study was to determine if donor type influenced the risk of late graft failure following RIC HCT using PTCy-based GVHD prophylaxis.

Background: Ethnic diversity in cancer clinical trials is essential to ensure that therapeutic advances are equitable and broadly applicable in multicultural societies. Yet, missing consensus on the documentation of ethnic origin, partially based on the complexity of the terminology and fear of discrimination, leads to suboptimal patient management of minority populations. Additionally, eligibility criteria, such as stringent laboratory cut-offs, often fail to account for variations across ethnic groups, potentially excluding patients without evidence-based justification.
