7 alpha,12 alpha-Dihydroxy-3-oxo- and 3,7,12-trioxo-5 beta-cholanoic acids labeled with 18O atoms were incubated with human red blood cells, and the biotransformation products were separated and characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as the pentafluorobenzyl ester-trimethylsilyl and -dimethylethylsilyl ether derivatives with the negative ion chemical ionization mode. The reduced products, 3 beta,7 alpha,12 alpha-trihydroxy-5 beta-cholanoic acid for the former, and 3 alpha-hydroxylated dioxo bile acid together with 3 beta-hydroxylated 7,12-dioxo-5 beta-cholanoic acid for the latter, were identified as metabolites. When 3-oxo bile acid was incubated with human blood denatured at 70 degrees C for 2 min, no metabolites were formed. The enzymic reduction activity has been localized in the red blood cell fraction.

Background: Sepsis is a severe complication in leukemia patients, contributing to high mortality rates. Identifying early predictors of sepsis is crucial for timely intervention. This study aimed to develop and validate a predictive model for sepsis risk in leukemia patients using machine learning techniques.

Background: Most patients initially diagnosed with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) still have frequent recurrence after urethral bladder tumor electrodesiccation supplemented with intravesical instillation therapy, and their risk of recurrence is difficult to predict. Risk prediction models used to predict postoperative recurrence in patients with NMIBC have limitations, such as a limited number of included cases and a lack of validation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new models to compensate for the shortcomings and potentially provide evidence for predicting postoperative recurrence in NMIBC patients.

Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is one of the known hemoglobinopathies that result in red blood cell (RBC) destruction, among other complications. There are factors that make SCA an environment for autoimmune disease (AID). They include chronic inflammation, immune-mediated processes involved in SCA complications, and susceptibility to infections.

Hereditary hemochromatosis occurs due to genetic mutations, namely, cysteine-to-tyrosine substitution at amino acid 282 (C282Y) and histidine-to-aspartic acid substitution at 63 (H63D) mutations. The role of H63D mutation in hemochromatosis is less clear, and its penetrance is low even in homozygotes. Therefore, iron overload in H63D heterozygotes is extremely rare and scarcely reported.
