Introduction: Previously, our institution measured peripheral blood CD34 cell counts both pre- and post-peripheral blood stem cell harvest (PBSCH), with both samples analyzed simultaneously post-PBSCH. Since 2021, we have measured pre-CD34 cell counts during PBSCH, adjusting the processed blood volume based on these results. We retrospectively evaluated how this change impacted cellular therapy.
Methods: Related healthy donors were included and divided into 1-day and 2-day harvest cohorts. Donors with CD34 cell counts measured post- and during PBSCH were categorized into the previous and current sub-cohorts, respectively.
Results: Regarding the 1-day cohort (n = 212), the current sub-cohort had a significantly shorter average harvest duration (151 [standard deviation, SD = 45.1] vs. 180 [SD = 27.8] minutes, respectively) and higher average infusion rates (87.6% [SD = 21.1] vs. 78.1% [SD = 25.7], respectively) than the previous sub-cohort.
Conclusion: Adjusting the processed blood volume based on pre-PBSCH CD34 cell counts measured during the harvest may reduce donor burden and enhance workflow efficiency.

The efficacy and safety of total marrow irradiation (TMI) plus a reduced dose of melphalan as autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) preconditioning for multiple myeloma (MM) patients were evaluated. The 11 patients with MM had a median age of 57 (range: 46-75) years; six of them were at standard risk and five of them were at high risk based on the Mayo Stratification of Myeloma and Risk-adapted Therapy (mSMART) standard risk factors. Before ASCT, three patients achieved stringent complete response (sCR), two patients achieved complete remission (CR), and the rest of the patients had either partial response (PR) or progressive disease.

Hematological parameters available on automated hematology analyzers have been shown to be useful indicators for hematological disorders. However, extensive studies especially in aplastic anemia for these indices are sparse. Our aim was to investigate the clinical utility of hematological parameters in aplastic anemia.

Objective: To investigate the clinical utility of novel of new hematological markers in the preoperative diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on a total of 149 patients who underwent revision of total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) at a single center between January 2016 and June 2022, including 63 males and 86 females, aged from 47 to 93 years old with an average of (69.5±11.

Background: White matter damage is closely associated with cognitive and psychiatric symptoms and is prevalent in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD); although the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in CSVD remain elusive, inflammation plays a crucial role. We sought to investigate the relationship between systemic inflammation markers and imaging markers of CVSD, namely white matter hyperintensity (WMH) and microstructural injury.
Methods: We conducted a study involving both cross-sectional and longitudinal data from the UK Biobank Cohort.

Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the impact of nano platinum-hydrogen saline (Pt NPs + H) on oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) in neonatal rats, with the goal to contribute new insights into the therapeutic strategies for retinopathy of prematurity.
Methods: Pt NPs + H formulation was synthesized to address OIR in a rat model. Subsequent examination included the assessment of retinal blood vessel distribution and morphology through hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and isolectin B4 (IB4) staining techniques.
