Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of bone marrow (BM) basophils in myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) using flow cytometry (FCM). Basophils have been known to be elevated in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) through blood analyzers or microscopes, but these methods are not reliable for identifying BM basophils, and the changes in BM basophils in non-CML MPN were unclear.
Methods: BM basophils of 101 MPN were evaluated by FCM, assessing indices related to basophil levels and CD63/CD203c expression. PB basophils were counted by blood analyzer. The basophil characteristics of MPN were compared to that of 95 individuals without hematopoietic disorders and 30 newly diagnosed myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS).
Results: MPN patients showed increased levels of BM basophils and basophils with CD203c expression compared to normal or reactive group. Although weak correlation was observed, BM basophil levels were statistically different from those in PB. Comparing basophil characteristics between non-CML MPN and normal or reactive group, BM basophil indices demonstrated higher elevated counts than PB basophil indices in MPN. BM baso/lym ratio and basophil percentage were most effective in distinguishing non-CML MPN from non-hematopoietic disorders, while PB basophil indices demonstrated limited discriminative value. Most of the basophil indices of CML were different from those of normal group, reactive basophilia, non-CML MPN and MDS. CML could be discriminated from non-hematopoietic disorders by all basophil indices, with BM baso/lym ratio, PB basophil count and PB baso/lym ratio demonstrating superior capacity of discrimination.
Conclusions: BM basophil indices, particularly the baso/lym ratio, enhance MPN identification and outperform PB basophil indices in discriminating non-CML MPN from non-hematopoietic disorders. These findings indicate BM basophil analysis by FCM could serve as a potential tool for MPN screening.

Sea perch is one of the most important fish species farmed in China. However, the frequent outbreak of viral diseases induced by sea perch iridovirus (SPIV) always caused high mortality and heavy economic losses in sea perch aquaculture. Up to now, no effective countermeasures against SPIV infection have been established.

Objective: This hospital-based case-control study aims to evaluate hematological and biochemical markers for the diagnosis of cystic echinococcosis (CE) in the Tibetan population of Sichuan.
Methods: This study involved 83 patients diagnosed with CE and 45 healthy controls. Diagnosis of CE was confirmed through antibody and imaging tests, followed by an analysis of differences in blood and biochemical markers.

Background: The united airway diseases (UADs), exemplified by allergic rhinitis and asthma, cause significant morbidity. Although conventional pharmacotherapy provides symptomatic relief, recent evidence has indicated that cellular therapy, such as stem cell-derived exosomes, might offer therapeutic advantages throughout the entire respiratory tract.
Objectives: The present study intends to demonstrate the effect and explore the mechanism of a novel pharmaco-exosomal immunotherapy, i.

Background And Objective: Threatened abortion, a common pregnancy complication that often leading to abortion, is hard to predict due to its non-specific symptoms and difficulty in differentiating from other early pregnancy bleeding causes. Current diagnostic methods like serial ultrasounds and clinical monitoring are time-consuming and lack timeliness. To fill the gap in using advanced analytics for early detection and risk stratification, this study develops a machine learning (ML) model based on routine blood data to better predict threatened abortion, providing a reference for early detection and intervention.
