Article Abstract
Recombinant human endostatin (rhES) can inhibit multiple myeloma, while its clinical efficacy in treating relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) has not been assessed. One hundred and eleven RRMM patients were treated with four different regimens: combination of VD (velcade+dexamethasone) and rhES (n = 25), Thalidomide (Tha) and VD (VTD, n = 22) combination, rhES and conventional chemotherapy combination (n = 32), and combination of conventional chemotherapy and Tha (n = 32). Significant differences were found in progression-free survival (PFS) between rhES combination groups and conventional chemotherapy combination groups. No statistical difference was found in overall response rate, overall survival or incidences of adverse effects. The combination of rhES with VD or conventional chemotherapy is active in patients with RRMM and prolongs the PFS to improve the quality of life.

Background: Anticonvulsants are widely used in treating patients with mental and neurological disorders. Their long-term use increases the risk of a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) and low-energy fractures. Despite the growing number of studies of drug-induced osteoporosis, the effect of anticonvulsants on bone microarchitecture remains poorly studied.

Background: Mixed-phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) is a rare acute leukemia for which data are currently not available to guide therapy. It has a poor outcome, particularly in elderly patients.
Case Presentation: We report the successful use of venetoclax/azacitidine as treatment for a treatment-naive elderly patient with early T-cell precursor (ETP)/myeloid MPAL.

Epithelioid glioblastoma (eGBM) is a rare subtype of glioblastoma, generally associated with a poorer prognosis than conventional GBM despite maximum resection and standard chemoradiotherapy. Here, we report a case of a 78-year-old man who presented with left hemiplegia and a well-circumscribed right frontal lobe lesion on imaging, initially suspected to be a metastatic brain tumor. Surgical resection revealed a firm, clearly demarcated mass.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent malignant neoplasm of the digestive system, including 80% of primary liver malignancies. The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays a key role in immune response and tumer resistance. A growing number of studies have shown that the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is involved in the pathogenesis of HCC.
