Expert Consensus on Microtransplant for Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Elderly Patients -Report From the International Microtransplant Interest Group
Recent studies have shown that microtransplant (MST) could improve outcome of patients with elderly acute myeloid leukemia (EAML). To further standardize the MST therapy and improve outcomes in EAML patients, based on analysis of the literature on MST, especially MST with EAML from January 1st, 2011 to November 30th, 2022, the International Microtransplant Interest Group provides recommendations and considerations for MST in the treatment of EAML. Four major issues related to MST for treating EAML were addressed: therapeutic principle of MST (1), candidates for MST (2), induction chemotherapy regimens (3), and post-remission therapy based on MST (4). Others included donor screening, infusion of donor cells, laboratory examinations, and complications of treatment

l-Arginine, as an essential amino acid, is a potential substitute for treating COPD via regulation of ROS/NLRP3/NF-κB signaling pathway
Abstract Backgrounds Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a frequent and common disease in clinical respiratory medicine and its mechanism is unclear. The purpose of this study was to find the new biomarkers of COPD and elucidate its role in the pathogenesis of COPD. Analysis of metabolites in plasma of COPD patients were performed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF–MS). The differential metabolites were analyzed and identified by multivariate analysis between COPD patients and healthy people. The role and mechanisms of the differential biomarkers in COPD were verified with COPD rats, arginosuccinate synthetase 1 (ASS-l) KO mice and bronchial epithelial cells (BECs). Meanwhile, whether the differential biomarkers can be the potential treatment targets for COPD was also investigated. 85 differentials metabolites were identified between COPD patients and healthy people by metabonomic. Results l-Arginine (LA) was the most obvious differential metabolite among the 85 metabolites. Compare with healthy people, the level of LA was markedly decreased in serum of COPD patients. It was found that LA had protective effects on COPD with in vivo and in vitro experiments. Silencing Ass-1, which regulates LA metabolism, and α-methy-dl-aspartic (NHLA), an Ass-1 inhibitor, canceled the protective effect of LA on COPD. The mechanism of LA in COPD was related to the inhibition of ROS/NLRP3/NF-κB signaling pathway. It was also found that exogenous LA significantly improved COPD via regulation of ROS/NLRP3/NF-κB signaling pathway. l-Arginine (LA) as a key metabolic marker is identified in COPD patients and has a protective effect on COPD via regulation of ROS/NLRP3/NF-κB signaling pathway. Conclusion LA may be a novel target for the treatment of COPD and also a potential substitute for treating COPD
Effects of Biotic and Abiotic Factors on the Spatiotemporal Distribution of Round Scad (<i>Decapterus maruadsi</i>) in the Hainan Island Offshore Area
Fishery resource and environmental data from four surveys conducted in the Hainan Island offshore area from March 2021 to June 2022 were used to investigate the spatiotemporal distribution of round scad (Decapterus maruadsi). A generalized additive model was applied to explore the relationships among abundance and distribution, also biotic and abiotic factors (i.e., temperature, salinity, chlorophyll-a concentration, water depth, phytoplankton abundance, zooplankton abundance, and jack mackerel (Trachurus japonicas) abundance). Round scad abundance (average 67.17 kg/km2) showed distinct spatial and seasonal differences around Hainan Island, with highest abundance in summer (171.72 kg/km2) and lowest abundance in spring (3.06 kg/km2). The optimal model revealed that jack mackerel abundance, sea bottom temperature, sea surface temperature, and latitude very significantly (p 2) was positively correlated with round scad distribution. The distribution showed a dome-shaped relationship with bottom water temperature in the range 18–30 °C, with maximum abundance at 24 °C. The distribution was negatively correlated with surface water temperature in the range 22–30 °C. Sea surface chlorophyll-a concentration and longitude were significantly correlated (p < 0.05) with round scad distribution. The results provide theoretical support to further investigate the formation mechanism of round scad fishing grounds and to enrich knowledge of pelagic fish abundance in the continental-shelf waters of the northern South China Sea
