Article Abstract

Background: Splicing factor 3b subunit 1 (SF3B1) mutations have been implicated in hematologic malignancies, but the clinical significance of distinct SF3B1 mutation variants remain unclear.

Methods: The objective of this study was to evaluate clinicopathologic features, mutational profiles, and outcomes of 1691 patients with hematologic malignancies, including myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS; n = 402), acute myeloid leukemia (AML; n = 758), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL; n = 531).

Results: The frequency of SF3B1-mutated (SF3B1) MDS, AML, and CLL was 70 of 402 patients (17.4%), 23 of 758 patients (3.0%), and 45 of 531 patients (8.5%), respectively. p.K700E was the most prevalent SF3B1 variant and was identified in 43 of 70 of patients with MDS (61.4%), in seven of 23 patients with AML (30.4%), and in 19 of 45 patients with CLL (42.2%). In MDS and AML, TET2 was the most frequent co-mutated gene in patients with SF3B1 disease (20 of 70 patients with MDS [28.6%]; 11 of 23 patients with AML [47.8%]). For patients with SF3B1 CLL, the most common co-mutated genes were ATM (11 of 45; 24.4%) and TP53 (11 of 45; 24.4%). Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that the SF3B1 p.K700E variant was significantly associated with improved overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients who had MDS (p < .001 and p = .016, respectively) but with worse OS and PFS in those who had AML (p = .006 and p = .006, respectively) compared with those who had wild-type SF3B1. In patients who had CLL, p.I704F was associated with reduced OS (p < .001) and p.K700E was associated with a shorter time-to-first treatment (p = .028) compared with those who had wild-type SF3B1. Multivariable analysis identified p.K700E as an independent protective factor for OS in patients with MDS (p = .048) but as an independent risk factor for both OS and PFS in patients with AML (p = .036 and p = .035, respectively) and for the time to first treatment in patients with CLL (p = .033).

Conclusions: Specific SF3B1 variants should be incorporated into prognostic stratification for hematologic malignancies.

Gliomas are malignant tumors of the central nervous system, and one severe variant is called gliosarcoma. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a technique that stands out in the oncology area for minimizing side effects for the patient, triggering cell death at the site of irradiation, and can be used concomitantly with conventional treatments. This study aimed to evaluate the interaction of chlorine e6 with the cytoskeleton and mitochondria, as well as morphological changes and the death mechanism triggered after PDT.

Post-recurrence Survival After Liver Transplantation for Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Transplantation

September 2025

General Surgery and Liver Transplantation Unit, Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale Tumori, Milan, Italy.

Background: Mortality after liver transplantation (LT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is mainly driven by HCC recurrence. We sought to determine whether post-recurrence survival (PRS) has improved during the last 2 decades.

Methods: Using the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, we included all patients who underwent LT for HCC between 2003 and 2020 and experienced HCC recurrence.

Introduction: The climate crisis impacts global health and is exacerbated by the healthcare sector's emissions. Nurses, as the largest professional group, are key to promoting climate-resilient, low-carbon health systems. Integrating climate change and sustainable development into nursing education is crucial, yet gaps remain in understanding their representation in curricula and practice.

GADD45A is Essential for Granulosa Cells Differentiation and Ovarian Reserve in Human and Mice.

J Cell Mol Med

September 2025

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.

Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) poses significant challenges in reproductive health, with emerging evidence implicating DNA damage repair pathways. While GADD45A is a critical regulator of DNA repair, cell cycle and apoptosis, its role in DOR pathogenesis remains unexplored. We employed transcriptome sequencing, qPCR and Western Blot analyses to compare GADD45A expression in granulosa cells (GCs) between DOR patients and controls.

Background: Relapsed or refractory cases of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have poor outcomes despite advancements in chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). While a second HSCT is often a salvage option, its outcomes vary widely, and prognostic factors remain unclear.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate outcomes and identify prognostic factors in pediatric patients with AML who underwent multiple HSCTs.
