BackgroundOsteoporosis and neurological complications are consequences of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Collagen type I alpha 1 gene (COL1A1) polymorphism is associated with osteoporosis. This study aimed to detect the COL1A1 polymorphism and the neurological complications in ALL patients and their association with decreased lumbar spine bone...

Purpose of ReviewAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a costly disease, and its impact is greater in developing countries (DC). We will review the current concept of what are DC, compare the differences in the epidemiology and economic burden of this disease between developed and DC, and finally, analyze the barriers and possible solutions that DC shoul...

BackgroundRelapsed leukemia following initial therapeutic response and remission is difficult to treat and causes high patient mortality. Leukemia relapse is due to residual quiescent leukemia cells that escape conventional therapies and later reemerge. Eliminating not only growing but quiescent leukemia cells is critical to effectively treating le...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antitumor mechanisms of n-butylidenephthalide (BP) and to further examine the delivery efficacy of polycationic liposome containing PEI and polyethylene glycol complex (LPPC)-encapsulated BP in leukemia cells. MTS, flow cytometric and TUNEL assays were performed to assess cell viability and apoptosis...

Leukemia is the outcome of aggregation of damaged white blood cells. Several genes were reported to be associated with the pathogenesis of leukemia. These genes were computationally analyzed to decipher their codon usage bias (CUB) and to identify the prime factors influencing the codon usage profile as no work was reported yet. The mean values of ...

SIMPLICITY (NCT01244750) is an observational study of patients with chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) in routine clinical practice receiving first-line (1L) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). We evaluate TKI treatment changes and how switching affects clinical response in patients recruited in Europe with ≥3 years of follow-up. The SIM...

BackgroundChronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by constitutive activity of the tyrosine kinase BCR-ABL1. Although the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has substantially improved patients’ prognosis, drug resistance remains one of the major challenges in CML therapy. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a cla...

Human ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase-2 (USP2) inhibitors, such as thiopurine analogs, have been reported to inhibit SARS-CoV papain-like proteases (PLpro). The PLpro have significant functional implications in the innate immune response during SARS-CoV-2 infection and considered an important antiviral target. Both proteases share strikingly ...

Management of children with pancreatic pseudocysts has historically been adopted from the adult experience where pancreatic pseudocysts greater than 6 cm are unlikely to resolve without intervention. We reviewed the clinical course of pediatric oncology patients with pancreatic pseudocysts. A retrospective review of patients treated over a 15-year ...

Summary: In p53- and nf1 -deficient zebrafish, onset of MPNSTs, as well as diverse other tumors, is accelerated by loss of the suz12 tumor suppressor, accompanied by global reduction in H3K27me3 marks and increased Ras-Mapk signaling.
