MicroRNA Expression in High-Grade B-Cell Lymphoma With 11q Aberration.

Mature aggressive B-cell lymphomas, such as Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), show variations in microRNA (miRNA) expression. The entity of High-grade B-cell lymphoma with 11q aberration (HGBCL-11q) shares several biological features with both BL and DLBCL but data on its miRNA expression profile are yet scarce. Hence, this study aims to analyze the potential differences in miRNA expression of HGBCL-11q compared to BL and DLBCL.

Targeting CD45 by gene-edited CAR T cells for leukemia eradication and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation preconditioning.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is widely used to treat patients with life-threatening hematologic and immune system disorders. Current nontargeted chemo-/radiotherapy conditioning regimens cause tissue injury and induce an array of immediate and delayed adverse effects, limiting the application of this life-saving treatment. The growing demand to replace canonical conditioning regimens has led to the development of alternative approaches, such as antibody-drug conjugates, naked antibodies, and CAR T cells.

Pyrazinyl-Substituted Aminoazoles as Covalent Inhibitors of Thrombin: Synthesis, Structure, and Anticoagulant Properties.

This study presents a novel series of -acylated 1,2,4-triazol-5-amines and 1-pyrazol-5-amines, featuring a pyrazin-2-yl moiety, developed as covalent inhibitors of thrombin. These compounds demonstrated potent inhibitory activity, with derivatives and achieving IC values as low as 0.7 and 0.

Assessing the Theoretical Efficacy of Combination Therapy Against Gram-Negative Infections in Neutropenic Pediatric Cancer Patients: Insights from the Statistical Analysis of Survey Data.

: Empirical antibacterial therapy for febrile neutropenia reduces mortality due to Gram-negative blood stream infections (BSIs). Pediatric guidelines recommend monotherapy with an antipseudomonal beta-lactam or a carbapenem and to add a second anti-Gram-negative agent in selected situations. We evaluated the changes in the proportions of resistance of beta-lactam monotherapies vs.

Personalization of a computational systems biology model of blood platelet calcium signaling.

Anuclear blood cells, platelets, are the basis for the formation of blood clots in human vessels. While antiplatelet therapy is most often used after ischemic events, there is a need for its personalization due to the limited effectiveness and risks of bleeding. Previously, we developed a series of computational models to describe intracellular platelet signaling and a set of experimental methods to characterize the platelets of a given patient.

[Metabolic Profile of Gut Microbiota and Levels of Trefoil Factors in Adults with Different Metabolic Phenotypes of Obesity].

Obesity is associated with changes in the gut microbiota, as well as with increased permeability of the intestinal wall. In 130 non-obese volunteers, 57 patients with metabolically healthy obesity (MHO), and 76 patients with metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUHO), bacterial DNA was isolated from stool samples, and the 16S rRNA gene was sequenced. The metabolic profile of the microbiota predicted by PICRUSt2 (https://huttenhower.

A comprehensive dataset on cytotoxicity of ionic liquids.

Ionic liquids (ILs) are structurally tunable salts with applications ranging from chemical synthesis to batteries, novel materials and medicine. Despite their potential, the toxicity of ILs poses significant environmental and biological challenges. This study introduces a comprehensive dataset of cytotoxicity of 1227 ILs, compiled from 151 research papers and encompassing 3837 data entries.

[Endometrial adenocarcinoma with mutations in POLE, TP53 genes and microsatellite instability].

The molecular classification of endometrial cancer developed by The Cancer Genome Atlas project (TCGA, 2013) is currently actively used in gynecological oncology. According to it, endometrial carcinoma is divided into four molecular subtypes: -mutated, MMR deficient (dMMR), -aberrant and unspecified. Endometrial cancer samples belonging to the dMMR and -mutant types are characterized by specific genetic profiles reflecting the hyper- and ultramutant phenotypes of the tumor.

[Liquid biopsy in diagnosis of central nervous system tumors].

Unlabelled: Tumor tissue samples are necessary for histological diagnosis. Biopsy is associated with certain difficulties, especially in neuro-oncology. An alternative approach (liquid biopsy) is currently being developed.

Timing matters: diurnal spine length variation in pediatric patients during radiotherapy.

Background: During the day-night cycle, gravity and applied stress to the body mass and spine causes a decrease in body height, which is restored overnight. This diurnal spine length variation has not yet been quantified during radiotherapy. Therefore, we aimed to quantify diurnal spine length variation on cone beam CTs (CBCTs) of pediatric patients (< 18 years) who underwent radiotherapy.

Analysis of the abundance and diversity of RNA secondary structure elements in RNA viruses using the RNAsselem Python package.

Recent advancements in experimental and computational methods for RNA secondary structure detection have revealed the crucial role of RNA structural elements in diverse molecular processes within living cells. It has been demonstrated that the secondary structure of the entire viral genome is often responsible for performing crucial functions in the viral life cycle and also influences virus evolution. To investigate the role of viral RNA secondary structure, alongside experimental techniques, the use of bioinformatics tools is important for analyzing various secondary structure patterns, including hairpin loops, internal loops, multifurcations, external loops, bulges, stems, and pseudoknots.

Build-a-Bio-Strip: An Online Platform for Rapid Toxicity Assessment in Chemical Synthesis.

The increasing need to understand and control the environmental impact of chemical processes has revealed the challenge in efficient evaluation of toxicity of the vast number of chemical compounds and their varying effects on biological systems. In this study, we introduce "Build-a-bio-Strip", a novel online service designed to carry out a quick initial analysis of the toxic impact of chemical processes. This platform enables users to automatically generate toxicity characteristics of chemical reactions using their own data on cytotoxicity or median lethal doses of the substances involved or computational predictions based on SMILES strings.

Short-term sensorimotor training incorporating cognitive tasks for pediatric survivors of posterior fossa tumors: a pilot study.

Purpose: Posterior fossa tumors account for half of all childhood brain tumors, prompting the search for effective and affordable interventions to combat the neurocognitive and motor sequelae of the tumor and its treatment. The main aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the feasibility and effects of sensorimotor training incorporating cognitive tasks for a group of pediatric survivors of posterior fossa tumors.

Synthesis and evaluation of tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-]quinolin-1(2)-ones as new tubulin polymerization inhibitors.

Here we explored new 1,5-disubstituted pyrrolidin-2-ones 1, 2 and 5-aryl-3,3,4,5-tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-]quinoline-1(2)-ones 3 as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization. We evaluated their effects on microtubule dynamics and on the proliferation of A549 cells, using flow cytometry-based cell cycle analysis. The results were verified with phase-contrast microscopy in three cancer cell lines: A549, HeLa and MCF-7.

variants underlying pediatric low-hypodiploidy B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia demonstrate diverse origins and may persist as a hematopoietic clone in remission.

Pediatric low-hypodiploidy B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (LH-ALL) with variants has been proposed to be considered a manifestation of Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS). However, our study demonstrates that of the majority the pathogenic variants in the TP53 gene are somatic (70.5%), and only 12.

A New Chimeric Antibody against the HIV-1 Fusion Inhibitory Peptide MT-C34 with a High Affinity and Fc-Mediated Cellular Cytotoxicity.

Peptides from heptad repeat (HR1 and HR2) regions of gp41 are effective inhibitors of HIV-1 entry that block the fusion of viral and cellular membranes, but the generation of antibodies highly specific for these peptides is challenging. We have previously described a mouse hybridoma that recognizes MT-C34-related peptides derived from HR2. It was used for the selection of HIV-1-resistant CD4 lymphocytes engineered to express the MT-C34 peptide via a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knock-in into the locus.
