We retrospectively investigated the impact of CTLA-4 polymorphism on outcomes for adult patients who received single-unit cord blood transplantation (CBT) at our institution. CTLA-4 genotyping was performed using real-time polymerase chain reaction with the TaqMan SNP genotyping assay for rs231775. This study included 143 recipient-donor pairs. The multivariate analysis showed that recipient rs231775 AA was associated with worse overall survival (OS) (hazard ratio [HR], 2.92; = 0.008) and a higher relapse rate (HR, 4.79; = 0.002), but donor rs231775 was not. The rs231775 polymorphism in recipients and donors did not affect non-relapse mortality, hematopoietic recovery, or acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease. The beneficial effects of rs231775 GG+GA recipients on OS and relapse were notable in subgroups of patients with high-risk disease status and those with myeloid diseases. The polymorphism of CTLA-4 rs231775in recipients might be associated with the clinical outcomes of single-unit CBT.

Objective: To determine the cyclosporine trough (C) and two-hour post-dose concentrations (C) in children with nephrotic syndrome (NS) and study the factors influencing them.
Methods: In this ambispective cohort study, children with NS (including frequently relapsing, steroid-dependent and steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome) on cyclosporine therapy were enrolled. Clinical and laboratory data were recorded.

Lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (LA-HLH) is a life-threatening hyperinflammatory syndrome, and hierarchical management based on a prognostic model is important. The endothelial activation and stress index (EASIX) score has demonstrated prognostic utility in recipients of allogeneic stem cell transplantation and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. However, its role in LA-HLH remains unestablished.

Previous studies have shown that the pre-transplant C-reactive protein (CRP)/platelet ratio (CP ratio) is a predictor of survival. The aim of this multicenter retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical significance of CP ratio in patients with malignant lymphoma (ML) who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHCT). The cohort included patients with ML who underwent first alloHCT from 2007 to 2021.

Rationale: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer affecting women worldwide, caused by persistent infection with oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) types. While HPV infections usually resolve spontaneously, persistent infections with high-risk HPV types can progress to premalignant glandular or - mostly - squamous intraepithelial lesions, usually classified in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Women with CIN 2 and CIN 3 (i.

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is an aggressive hematologic neoplasm characterized by an expansion of CD123 monocytes and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). pDC bone marrow clusters in CMML have been associated with higher rates of acute myeloid leukemia transformation. We evaluated tagraxofusp, a CD123-targeted therapy, in a phase 1/2 trial for patients with CMML.
