ObjectiveTo investigate the independent risk factors for concurrent myocardial injury before intervention in patients with primary hepatic carcinoma （PHC）， to construct and validate a nomogram prediction model for the early identification of such patients， and to provide a basis for early clinical prevention and management. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 1 822 patients with PHC in two medical institutions from January 2019 to June 2025， among whom the 1 518 patients from The Third People’s Hospital of Kunming were used as the training set to construct the nomogram prediction model， and the 304 patients from The Second People’s Hospital of Baoshan were used as the validation set. According to the result of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T measurement before intervention， the patients with PHC were divided into myocardial injury group and non-myocardial injury group. The univariate analysis， the LASSO regression analysis， and the multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to identify the risk factors of concurrent myocardial injury in PHC patients before intervention， and then a nomogram prediction model was constructed based on these findings. The independent data of the 304 patients in the validation set were used for external validation， and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve （AUC）， the Hosmer-Lemeshow test， the calibration curve， decision curve analysis， and clinical impact curve were used to assess model performance. ResultsIn the training set， there were 346 patients in the myocardial injury group and 1 172 patients in the non-myocardial injury group， and the prevalence rate of concurrent myocardial injury was 22.79%. The mean age was 56.44±9.45 years， and the male patients accounted for 81.49%. The patients with drinking， smoking， chronic hepatitis B， chronic hepatitis C， hypertension， diabetes， Child-Pugh class A liver disease， BCLC stage B liver disease， or abnormal electrocardiographic findings accounted for 49.34%， 57.44%， 61.73%， 32.48%， 22.66%， 17.19%， 50.53%， 33.86%， and 62.12%， respectively. The univariate analysis， the LASSO regression analysis， and the multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age （odds ratio ［OR］=1.051， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.036 — 1.067， P<0.001）， history of diabetes （OR=1.862， 95%CI： 1.346 — 2.574， P<0.001）， electrocardiographic findings （OR=1.446， 95%CI： 1.077 — 1.940， P=0.014）， hemoglobin （HGB） （OR=0.993， 95%CI： 0.988 — 0.998， P=0.003）， albumin （Alb） （OR=0.951， 95%CI： 0.930 — 0.972， P<0.001）， and creatinine （Cr） （OR=1.021， 95%CI： 1.016 — 1.026， P<0.001） were independent influencing factors for myocardial injury in PHC patients. A regression equation was established as Logit（Y）=-3.406+0.050×age+0.621×history of diabetes+0.369×electrocardiogram－0.007×HGB－0.051×Alb+0.021×Cr， and a nomogram prediction model was constructed based on these factors. The Bootstrap internal validation of the model yielded an AUC of 0.743 （95%CI： 0.707 — 0.778）， and the model had an AUC of 0.766 （95%CI： 0.738 — 0.794） in the training set and 0.730 （95%CI： 0.688 — 0.793） in the validation set. The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test yielded a P value of 0.716 for the training set and 0.408 for the validation set， suggesting that the model had a good degree of fitting. Calibration curves， decision curve analysis， and clinical impact curves in both the training set and the validation set showed that the model had a good clinical application value. ConclusionAge， history of diabetes， electrocardiographic findings， HGB， Alb， and Cr are independent influencing factors for myocardial injury in patients with PHC， and the nomogram prediction model constructed based on these factors has good discriminatory ability， accuracy， and clinical practicability.

A 20-year-old male patient with T-lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia received 9/10 human leukocyte antigen-compatible unrelated peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. He was transplanted with 5.91×10 8 mononuclear cells/kg and 2.88×10 6 CD34 + cells/kg, and neutrophil engraftment was obtained at +11 days and platelet engraftment at +9 days. After transplantation, he presented with repeatedly increased serum creatinine levels, BK virus (BKV) -associated hemorrhagic cystitis, and BKV viremia. BK virus nephropathy was diagnosed based on renal biopsy and metagenomic next-generation sequencing. After adjusting the immunosuppressant, intravenous immunoglobulin, and donor lymphocyte infusion treatment, the patient’s renal function deteriorated progressively, and he eventually died of multiple organ failure at +289 days.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of central nervous system（CNS）mucormycosis following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation（allo-HSCT）.Methods:Clinical data of 6 patients diagnosed with CNS mucormycosis after allo-HSCT at Henan Cancer Hospital between January 2020 and December 2024 were retrospectively collected. The patients' clinical manifestations，laboratory findings，imaging features，treatment regimens，and outcomes were analyzed.Results:The incidence of CNS mucormycosis post-allo-HSCT was 0.7%（6/851）. The main clinical manifestations included impaired consciousness（5 cases），convulsions（3 cases），headache（2 cases），hemiplegia（1 case），ptosis（1 case），and mydriasis with sluggish light reflex and incomplete eye closure（1 case）. The median time from transplantation to the onset of neurological symptoms was 138 days（94-572 days）. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing（mNGS）of cerebrospinal fluid identified Rhizopus spp.（2 cases）， Rhizomucor spp.（2 cases），and Absidia spp.（2 cases）. Cranial MRI performed in five patients revealed multiple mass or patchy lesions in various regions；one patient underwent cranial CT，which showed patchy hypodense lesions in multiple areas. All patients received antifungal therapy，with 2 cases receiving combined intrathecal injection of amphotericin B liposomes；five patients died，and one survived. Conclusions:CNS mucormycosis is a rare but severe complication after allo-HSCT. Its clinical and radiological features are non-specific，posing diagnostic challenges. Intravenous administration of liposomal amphotericin B at full dosage，combined with intrathecal injection，may improve treatment efficacy.

Objective:To analyze the treatment-free remission (TFR) outcomes after discontinuation of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) in children with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, clinical data of 14 chronic phase CML children aged <18 years who had achieved stable deep molecular response (DMR) for ≥ 2 years after standardized treatment with TKI and had a strong desire to discontinue TKI at Henan Cancer Hospital from September 30, 2016 to January 30, 2022 were collected retrospectively. According to the different TFR outcomes after discontinuation of TKI, patients were divided into loss of major molecular response (MMR) group and without loss of MMR group, differences in clinical characteristics between the two groups of children were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test and Fisher exact test. Results:Out of 14 children with TKI discontinuation, 7 were male and 7 were female. The age at diagnosis was 14.0 (4.8, 17.0) years, and the age at TKI discontinuation was 22.0 (12.5, 27.0) years. Among them, 8 children were treated with imatinib prior to TKI discontinuation and 6 children were treated with second-line substitution of the second-generation TKI nilotinib or dasatinib prior to TKI discontinuation. The follow-up time was 37.0 (27.8, 47.5) months, and 7 cases lost MMR at the time of discontinuation of 3.0 (2.0, 11.0) months. Eight children gained TFR at 6 months, 7 children gained TFR at 12 and 24 months. Amongst the 6 children who received second-generation TKI prior to TKI discontinuation, 2 children lost MMR at 3 and 11 months and 4 children gained TFR, among the 8 children who discontinued imatinib, 5 children lost MMR at the time 3.0 (2.0, 9.0) months and 3 children gained TFR. The age at diagnosis and TKI discontinuation, the time from TKI treatment to the acquisition of DMR, the duration of TKI treatment before TKI discontinuation, the duration of DMR before TKI discontinuation, and the number of children treated with second-generation TKI were not statistically different between the 7 children in the group that did not lose the MMR and the 7 children in the group that lost the MMR (all P>0.05) . All the 7 children with confirmed loss of MMR immediately restarted TKI therapy, and all regained DMR after 2.0 (2.0, 11.0) months of therapy. None of the children had disease progression. After TKI discontinued, only 1 child had mild bone pain, which could be relieved by oral antipyretic analgesic drugs. Conclusions:Children with CML who have achieved a durable stable DMR for≥2 years on TKI therapy can discontinue the TKI and obtain TFR. Both the longer duration of TKI therapy, the longer duration of DMR and the use of second-generation TKI therapy before TKI discontinuation, may allow more children with CML who are expecting TKI discontinuation to have access to TFR.

Systemic mastocytosis (SM) with RUNX1-RUNX1T1 positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rare myeloid tumor with no standard treatment. Two cases of SM patients with RUNX1-RUNX1T1 positive AML treated with sequential avapritinib after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) were reported in Henan Cancer Hospital. Mast cell in bone marrow disappeared, C-KIT mutation and RUNX1-RUNX1T1 fusion gene remained negative. Allo-HSCT sequential avapritinib is an effective treatment for SM patients with RUNX1-RUNX1T1 positive AML.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of avapritinib in the treatment of molecular biologically positive core binding factor-acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML) with KIT mutation after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) .Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of six patients with molecular biologically positive CBF-AML with KIT mutation after allo-HSCT, who were treated with avapritinib at Henan Cancer Hospital from December 2021 to March 2023, and evaluated the efficacy and safety of avapritinib.Results:After 1 month of treatment with avapritinib, the transcription level of the fusion gene decreased in six patients, and the transcription level decreased by ≥1 log in five patients. In four patients who received avapritinib for ≥3 months, the fusion gene turned negative, and the median time to turn negative was 2.0 (range: 1.0-3.0) months. Up to the end of follow-up, four patients had no recurrence. The most common adverse reaction of avapritinib was myelosuppression, including neutropenia in two cases, thrombocytopenia in two cases, and anemia in one case. The non-hematological adverse reactions were nausea in two cases, edema in one case, and memory loss in one case, all of which were grades 1-2.Conclusion:Avapritinib was effective for molecular biologically positive CBF-AML patients with KIT mutation after allo-HSCT. The main adverse reaction was myelosuppression, which could generally be tolerated.

Metastasis and resistance are main causes to affect the outcome of the current anticancer therapies. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) as an ATP-dependent molecular chaperone takes important role in the tumor metastasis and resistance. Targeting Hsp90 and downregulating its expression show promising in inhibiting tumor metastasis and resistance. In this study, a redox-responsive dual-drug nanocarrier was constructed for the effective delivery of a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug PTX, and a COA-modified 4-arm PEG polymer (4PSC) was synthesized. COA, an active component in oleanolic acid that exerts strong antitumor activity by downregulating Hsp90 expression, was used as a structural and functional element to endow 4PSC with redox responsiveness and Hsp90 inhibitory activity. Our results showed that 4PSC/PTX nanomicelles efficiently delivered PTX and COA to tumor locations without inducing systemic toxicity. By blocking the Hsp90 signaling pathway, 4PSC significantly enhanced the antitumor effect of PTX, inhibiting tumor proliferation and invasiveness as well as chemotherapy-induced resistance in vitro. Remarkable results were further confirmed in vivo with two preclinical tumor models. These findings demonstrate that the COA-modified 4PSC drug delivery nanosystem provides a potential platform for enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapies.
