Objective:To explore the correlation between cardiometabolic index(CMI) and the severity of coronary artery stenosis and long-term prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods:A total of 712 patients with AMI who were admitted to the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region People′s Hospital from January 2018 to December 2019 were included as the subjects. According to the tertile of CMI, the subjects were divided into high, medium, and low value groups. Gensini score was used to quantitatively assess the degree of coronary artery stenosis. The endpoint event was defined as the occurrence of major cardiovascular adverse events(MACEs). Spearman correlation analysis was conduceted to explore the correlation between CMI and Gensini score. Multivariate Cox regression was utilized to analyze the independent influencing factors of MACEs. A restricted cubic spline plot was employed to analyze the nonlinear relationship between CMI and the risk of MACEs. Kaplan- Meier curve was used to analyze survival differences between groups. Subgroup analysis was performed to evaluate the consistency of the predictive value of CMI for MACEs. Results:Spearman correlation analysis showed that CMI was positively correlated with Gensini score( r=0.13, P<0.001). After adjusting for confounding, multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that CMI was an independent risk factor for MACEs( HR=1.709, 95% CI 1.052-2.778, P=0.031). The restricted cubic spline analysis revealed an L-shaped nonlinear effect relationship between CMI and MACEs risk( P=0.024). Kaplan- Meier survival curve analysis demonstrated that the cumulative incidence of MACEs in AMI patients increased significantly with the increase of CMI( P<0.05). Subgroup analysis indicated that CMI independently predicted the occurrence of MACEs across different subgroups, and had higher predictive value in patients with normal lipids and normal body weight. Conclusion:CMI is closely associated with the severity of coronary stenosis in AMI patients, and is an independent predictor of the risk of long-term MACEs.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell neoplasm characterized by numerous chromosomal number and structural abnormalities, which are of great significance for risk stratification and response evaluation of MM patients. Optical genome mapping (OGM) is a novel technology that has the potential to resolve many of the issues and limitations associated with traditional cytogenetic methods. To date, the clinical utility of OGM has been validated in the fields of cancer, reproduction, and embryonic dysplasia, et al. In this study, we compared OGM to traditional techniques for the first time in five newly diagnosed MM patients, and evaluated the potential of OGM for detecting cytogenetic aberrations and its clinical application value in MM.

Objective:This study aims to explore the survival advantages of different maintenance strategies for MCL.Methods:Clinical data of 693 newly diagnosed MCL patients in multi-centers admitted from April 1999 to December 2019 were collected. 309 cases received maintenance treatment. The characteristics of patients in different maintenance treatment groups were summarized and Kaplan-Meier survival and prognosis analysis were conducted.Results:The overall 3-year and 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates were (73.5±2.9) % and (53.6±4.3) %, respectively. The 3-year and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were (94.2±1.5) % and (82.7±3.2) %, respectively. The clinical features of different maintenance treatment groups were generally consistent. The 3-year PFS rates of rituximab maintenance, lenalidomide maintenance, BTK inhibitor maintenance and dual-drug maintenance were (70.4±4.1) %, (69.1±7.6) %, (86.9±5.0) %, and (80.4±5.1) %, respectively. Corresponding 3-year OS rates were (92.9±2.4) %, (97.3±2.7) %, (97.9±2.1) %, and (95.3±2.7) %, respectively. There were no significant difference in different groups ( P=0.632, 0.313). Survival analysis identified the MCL International Prognostic Index (MIPI) high-risk group and achieving complete remission before maintenance treatment as independent risk factors for PFS. The MIPI high-risk group, high-dose cytarabine application, treatment lines, and early disease progression (POD24) emerged as independent risk factors for OS. Conclusion:Comparing the different maintenance strategies of MCL, the result showed that BTK inhibitors (BTKi) maintenance demonstrated preliminary advantages in survival. Meanwhile, high-risk group according to MIPI and incomplete remission before maintenance treatment were significant factors related to disease progression.

Here we summarized novel Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell immunotherapy (CAR-T) based on the immune material aspect. Young healthy donor T cells, stem cell-like memory T cells, human induced pluripotent stem cells and umbilical cord blood T cells are all potential candidates to enhance CAR-T cell therapy depending on their anti-tumor efficacy. Besides, due to less restricted major histocompatibility complex (MHC) mismatch effect, viral specific T cells, γδT cells, invariant natural killer T cells and macrophages also become idealized T cell sources in terms of Universal CAR-T (UCAR-T) cell therapeutics. In addition, studies demonstrated that more balanced CD4 +/CD8 + T cell ratio and eliminating monocytes during leukapheresis have a positive influence on CAR-T cell functioning, whereas T cells with higher exhaustion markers expression hampers anti-tumor ability of CAR-T cells after infusion. To avoid application of such T cells or mitigate the impact using immune checkpoint inhibitors is of great importance.

Objective To explore the relationship between soluble tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis(sTWEAK),high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)levels and the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)in the short term after discharge in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI),and to construct a risk prediction model.Methods A total of 135 patients with AMI admitted to Nanyang Second General Hospital from October 2019 to October 2022 were selected as the research subjects.They were followed up for 6 months after discharge,and the occurrence of MACE was recorded.Patients with MACE were included in the MACE group,and the patients without MACE were included in the non-MACE group.The serum levels of sTWEAK and hs-CRP,as well as clinical data such as age,gender,body mass index(BMI),smoking history,drinking history,anemia,diabetes history,hypertension history,hyperlipidemia history,stroke history,old myocardial infarction,anterior wall infarction,Killip heart function classification,coronary artery lesion number,coronary artery Gensini score,acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ),white blood cell count,serum creatine kinase isoenzyme(CK-MB)level,serum cardiac troponin T(cTnT)level,and the time from onset to reperfusion were compared between the two groups.The risk factors for short-term MACE after discharge of AMI patients were analyzed by using a logistic regression model.Based on the logistic regression analysis results,a model for predicting the risk of short-term MACE after discharge of AMI patients was established,and its prediction efficiency and calibration capability were evaluated by using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and calibration curve.Results The incidence rate of MACE within 6 months after discharge in AMI patients was 27.73%(33/135).The proportion of patients over 60 years old,proportion of patients with smoking history,percentage of coronary artery lesions in two or more branches,APACHE Ⅱ score,and serum cTnT,sTWEAK and hs-CRP levels in the MACE group were significantly higher than those in the non-MACE group(P<0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in gender distribution,BMI,drinking history,anemia,diabetes history,hypertension history,hyperlipidemia history,stroke history,old myocardial infarction,atrial fibrillation,anterior wall infarction,Killip heart function classification,time from onset to reperfusion,coronary artery Gensini score,white blood cell count,and serum CK-MB level between the MACE group and the non-MACE group(P>0.05).Logistic regression model analysis showed that age over 60 years old,coronary artery lesions in two or more branches,high APACHE Ⅱ score,high serum cTnT level,high serum sTWEAK level,and high serum hs-CRP level were risk factors for the occurrence of short-term MACE after discharge of AMI patients(P<0.05).A risk prediction model for MACE occurrence after discharge of AMI patients was constructed based on age,number of coronary artery branches with lesions,APACHE Ⅱ score,serum cTnT level,serum sTWEAK level,and serum hs-CRP level.The area under the curve of this model for predicting MACE was 0.860(95%confidence interval:0.784-0.916),with a sensitivity of 84.85%(95%confidence interval:68.100-94.900)and a specificity of 83.72%(95%confidence interval:74.200-90.800).The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test showed there was no statistically significant difference between the predicted probability of short-term MACE occurrence after discharge of AMI patients and the actual probability(x2=5.541,P>0.05).Conclusion High levels of serum sTWEAK and hs-CRP are risk factors for the occurrence of MACE after discharge in AMI patients.The risk prediction model constructed based on these two indicators has good performance for predicting MACE and can provide a reference for clinical guidance on the management and treatment of AMI patients after discharge.

Background:
SM-like (LSM) genes a family of RNA-binding proteins, are involved in mRNA regulation and can function as oncogenes by altering mRNA stability. However, their roles in B-cell progression and tumorigenesis remain poorly understood.
Methods:
We analyzed gene expression profiles and overall survival data of 123 patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). The LSM index was developed to assess its potential as a prognostic marker of MCL survival.
Results:
Five of the eight LSM genes were identified as potential prognostic markers for survival in MCL, with particular emphasis on the LSM.index. The expression levels of these LSM genes demonstrated their potential utility as classifiers of MCL. The LSM.index-high group exhibited both poorer survival rates and lower RNA levels than did the overall transcript profile. Notably, LSM1 and LSM8 were overexpressed in the LSM.index-high group, with LSM1 showing 2.5-fold increase (p < 0.001) and LSM8 depicting 1.8-fold increase (p < 0.01) than those in the LSM.index-low group.Furthermore, elevated LSM gene expression was associated with increased cell division and RNA splicing pathway activity.
Conclusions
The LSM.index demonstrates potential as a prognostic marker for survival in patients with MCL. Elevated expression of LSM genes, particularly LSM1 and LSM8, may be linked to poor survival outcomes through their involvement in cell division and RNA splicing pathways. These findings suggest that LSM genes may contribute to the aggressive behavior of MCL and represent potential targets for therapeutic interventions.
