Article Abstract

Unlabelled: MicroRNAs (miRs) are epigenetic regulators of several metabolic diseases, including gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Objectives: Following a systematic review, we propose a pattern of key circulating miRs associated with placental changes and their potential role in the fetus.

Methods: A systematic investigation of studies published between January 2011 and July 2024 was conducted in the PubMed, ScienceDirect, Trip Database, and Wiley databases. A total of 90 articles were analyzed.

Results: Two hundred twenty-six circulating microRNAs were identified in women with GDM, and fifty miRs were validated by PCR, with miRs-16-5p, -29a-5p, and -195-5p being the most frequently reported. Interestingly, miR-16-5p was also expressed in the placenta but not in umbilical cord blood or amniotic fluid. Conversely, miR-126-3p was expressed in circulation, the placenta, umbilical cord blood, and amniotic fluid. Several reports describe high expression levels of miR-518d in maternal circulation, umbilical cord blood, and placenta. Controversial results regarding the expression of miR-29a-3p, -137, and -148a-3p were identified when comparing umbilical cord blood and the placenta.

Conclusions: In silico analyses suggest that the miR-29 family, as well as miRs-16-5p, -126-3p, -195-5p, and -518b, may be involved in alterations in the heart, brain, and kidneys in the embryo when exposed to a hyperglycemic environment.

Refractory cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a severe complication following umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT). Antiviral agents, the standard first-line therapy, are limited by toxicity and resistance without robust T-cell immunity. We evaluated third-party donor (TPD)-derived CMV-specific T cells (CMVSTs) as a treatment option.

Cryopreserved umbilical cord blood (CB) for transplantation is occasionally exposed to room temperature during storage in cord blood banks. We evaluated the effect of room temperature exposure on the quality of cryopreserved CB. Forty frozen CB units stored in liquid nitrogen tanks were exposed to room temperature until they reached a target temperature of -130°C (group I), -60°C (group II), -40°C (group III), or -25°C (group IV) (N=10 in each group) and then re-stored.

Efficacy and safety of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation combined with umbilical cord blood infusion in hematologic malignancies: a prospective phase II clinical trial.

Background: Haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) offers curative potential for hematologic malignancies but is often limited by high incidences of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), delayed engraftment, and transplant-related mortality-especially when donors are aged ≥40 years. Umbilical cord blood (UCB) infusion may mitigate these risks by promoting immune tolerance and hematopoietic recovery. However, the efficacy of this strategy in the context of older donors remains insufficiently studied.

Background: Umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) is a valuable treatment option with the potential for curative outcomes in patients with myeloid malignancies in non-remission status, but relapse and early non-relapse mortality (NRM) remain significant barriers. Tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) are widely used as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in UCBT, but there is no consensus on the appropriate MMF dose for GVHD prophylaxis.

Objectives: We conducted a retrospective analysis to investigate the impact of MMF dose on outcomes in patients undergoing UCBT at our institution.

Background: The roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the progression of various human tumors have been extensively studied. However, their specific mechanisms and therapeutic potential in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) remain to be fully elucidated.

Materials And Methods: The qRT-PCR assay was utilized to assess the relative mRNA levels of TFAP2A-AS1, PHGDH, and miR-6892.
