Objective: This study aimed to investigate the utility of neutrophil-related cell population data obtained by automated hematology analyzers in assessing myelodysplastic syndrome cases with decreased granules in neutrophils.

Methods: A total of 108 subjects were classified into normal granule (n = 35), hypogranulation (n = 37), or hypergranulation (n = 36) groups. Neutrophil cell area and granule area were measured by ImageJ. All samples were analyzed on the XR-1000 and UniCel DxH 800, and neutrophil-related parameters were compared among the 3 groups.

Results: Neutrophil cell area and the ratio of the granular area showed significant differences among the 3 groups; they were the highest in the hypergranulation group and lowest in the hypogranulation group. XR-1000 data showed significant differences in NE-SFL and NE-FSC among the 3 groups (P < .0001). NE-SFL and NE-FSC discriminated most accurately hypogranulation group against other groups. UniCel DxH 800 data showed significant differences in MN-V-NE, MN-MALS-N, MN-UMALS-NE, SD-UMALS-NE (P <.01), MN-LMALS-NE, and SD-LMALS-NE (P <.05) among the 3 groups. The combination of SD-V-NE and SD-LMALS-NE discriminated most accurately the hypogranulation group against the other groups.

Conclusion: NE-SFL and NE-FSC and the combination of SD-V-NE and SD-LMALS-NE are useful in detecting cases with decreased granules in neutrophils.

Background: Early, accurate determination of disease severity in an emergency setting is paramount for improving patient outcomes and healthcare costs. Monocyte anisocytosis, quantified as monocyte distribution width (MDW), has been shown to correspond with immune dysregulation. We hypothesize that MDW is broadly associated with illness severity related to sepsis and serious infection in children.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the effects of benzene exposure on the hematological parameters of gas station workers in Hosanna, Ethiopia, revealing potential impairments in their blood health compared to non-exposed controls.
  • - Conducted on 180 participants, the results showed that gas station workers had significantly lower red blood cell counts and hemoglobin levels, while their absolute eosinophil counts were higher, indicating adverse health impacts.
  • - The findings suggest that prolonged exposure to benzene may negatively affect key blood parameters, emphasizing the need for monitoring worker health in environments with chemical exposure.

Thrombocytopenia (TCP) is the second most common hematological change during pregnancy and is considered as a major source of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Despite its effects to morbidity and mortality, it is frequently ignored or disregarded, particularly in resource-limited nations. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of thrombocytopenia and associated factors among pregnant women attending antenatal care at Hiwot Fana Comprehensive Specialized University Hospital, Eastern Ethiopia from June 20 to August 30, 2022.

Objective: To investigate the effect of miR-22 targeting formin-like protein 2 (FMNL2) on the migration and apoptosis of childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells.

Method: Peripheral blood samples from 11 children with AML, 10 children with immune thrombocytopenia, human AML cell lines TF-1a, HL-60, THP-1 and human bone marrow stromal cells HS-5 were used as the research objects. UniCel DxH 800 automatic hematology analyzer detected platelet count, hemoglobin, and white blood cell count in peripheral blood samples, and RT-qPCR detected miR-22 expression in peripheral blood samples and AML cells.
