Extensive myeloid sarcoma presenting with esophageal compression and dysphagia as the initial manifestation. (PubMed, Medicine (Baltimore))
Infiltrative mediastinal/retroperitoneal MS may present with esophageal obstruction and mimic lymphoma or carcinoma. High-index suspicion, targeted biopsy with high-power morphology, and a focused immunohistochemical panel are critical for timely diagnosis and treatment initiation.

A phase Ib study of sapacitabine and olaparib in patients with BRCA1/2-mutated metastatic breast cancer. (PubMed, Clin Cancer Res)
Sapacitabine with olaparib produces high rates of hematologic toxicity. However, the ORR of 50%, mPFS of 9.7 months, and durability of response in some patients suggest possible combinatorial benefit. Further exploration of olaparib with different sapacitabine schedules or substitution of a PARP1-selective inhibitor to potentially decrease hematological toxicity is warranted.

DDX6 undergoes phase separation to modulate metabolic plasticity and chemoresistance. (PubMed, Nat Commun)
DDX6 KO leads to rapid PB dissolution and release of PB-enriched mRNAs, such as BCAT1, into the cytosol, where these transcripts undergo degradation. By reducing BCAT1 levels, DDX6 KO reprograms amino acid metabolism and sensitizes AML cells to cytarabine chemotherapy.

Effect of antiviral therapy on 3-year recurrence and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma after curative radiofrequency ablation. (PubMed, World J Gastrointest Oncol)
Among patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis-related HCC, TDF and TAF are associated with lower 2-year and 3-year HCC recurrence rates after curative RFA treatment compared with ETV. However, there were no significant differences in 3-year mortality rates between the ETV, TDF, and TAF groups.

Serum type III procollagen, procollagen V, tumour necrosis factor-a, interleukin-6 in liver cirrhosis after antiviral treatment. (PubMed, J Med Biochem)
Group B showed a higher effective treatment rate (97.82%) compared to group A (76.08%). Malnutrition improved significantly more in group B. After treatment, group B exhibited more significant reductions in BMI, TSF, AMC, PA, Hb, ALB, TNF-a, CRP, IL-6, TBIL, AST, ALT, HA, PCIII, and IVC than group A. Entecavir combined with reduced glutathione improves liver function and nutritional status and reduces inflammatory markers in patients with hepatitis B and alcoholic liver cirrhosis, demonstrating high safety and effectiveness.

Neuronal stress promotes Cre recombinase transfer from oligodendroglia to neurons. (PubMed, Acta Histochem)
The impact of Necrostatin-1s (Nec-1s) and cytarabine on neuronal degeneration was evaluated, along with a comparison of the effects of tamoxifen dissolved in different plant oils on lineage tracing in Sox10/iCreERT2; tdTomato mice, as well as on neuronal degeneration in NTN-1 cKO mice. These results suggest that, under pathological conditions, Cre recombinase can transfer from oligodendroglia to neurons, a process triggered by neuronal stress. This highlights the need for careful consideration in using Cre-loxP lineage tracing and gene-editing methods involving oligodendrocyte lineage cells and neurons.

Risk stratification of low-dose cytarabine and venetoclax in patients with AML ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. (PubMed, Blood Adv)
Although the European LeukemiaNet (ELN) classifications (2017, 2022) for AML have been used to stratify outcomes for patients receiving intensive chemotherapy, application to patients receiving less intensive therapy, like azacitidine plus venetoclax, has been less satisfactory. Overall, these data support the importance of molecular sub-classification in defining treatment outcomes to venetoclax-based therapies. NCT02287233; NCT03069352.
