To investigate the efficacy of chemo-free regimen in treatment of patients with treatment-naive Philadelphia chromosome positive mixed phenotype acute leukemia(PhMPAL). The clinical data of patients with newly treated PhMPAL who received venetoclax (VEN), azacytidine (AZA) and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from July 1, 2021 to October 31, 2023 were retrospectively included. The last follow-up date was December 1, 2024. The complete remission/complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CR/CRi), measurable residual disease (MRD), survival and safety were analyzed. A total of 6 patients were included, with 1 male and 5 females, aged 40 (25-52) years. The peripheral white blood count at diagnosis was 191.4 (13.6-344.0)×10/L. All 6 patients had mixed expression of B lineage and myeloid lineage. Philadelphia chromosome was detected in 5 patients, and 3 of them had additional chromosomal abnormalities. All 6 patients achieved response after 1 cycle induction therapy, including 3 patients who achieved CR and 3 patients who achieved CRi. And all 6 patients attained bone marrow MRD negativity. After treatment of 1.5 (0.4-5.9) months, 6 patients achieved molecular remission (MMR). Tow patients experienced recurrence. Five patients received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The follow-up time was 31.4 (13.1-40.6) months, and all 6 patients were in disease-free survival. Severe adverse events mainly included hematological toxicity and sepsis, and no treatment-related deaths occurred. The VEN+AZA+TKIs chemo-free regimen has good efficacy in treating newly diagnosed PhMPAL patients.

Background: Processing data from electronic health records (EHRs) to build research-grade databases is a lengthy and expensive process. Modern arthroplasty practice commonly uses multiple sites of care, including clinics and ambulatory care centers. However, most private data systems prevent obtaining usable insights for clinical practice.

This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of combining cemiplimab, an anti-PD1 antibody, with isatuximab, an anti-CD38 antibody, in relapsed or refractory extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (R/R ENKTL). The hypothesis was that CD38 blockade could enhance the antitumor activity of PD1 inhibitors. Eligible patients received cemiplimab (250 mg on days 1 and 15) and isatuximab (10 mg/kg on days 2 and 16) intravenously every four weeks for six cycles.

Background: Critically ill children are at risk for subtherapeutic antibiotic concentrations. The frequency of target attainment and risk factors for subtherapeutic concentrations of cefepime in children have not been extensively studied.
Methods: We performed an observational study in critically ill children receiving a new prescription of standard dosing of cefepime for suspected sepsis (≥2 systemic inflammatory response syndrome criteria within 48 hours of cefepime start).

Background: Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is a preventable complication of central venous catheters (CVC) that can result in prolonged hospitalization, increased cost, and mortality.
Local Problem: CLABSI rates in a solid organ transplant unit were above the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators target.
Methods: Evidence-based CLABSI prevention interventions were implemented using the Plan-Do-Study-Act process.
