Specific mortality in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: a retrospective analysis based on the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results database
ConclusionThe most significant predictor of DLBCL-specific mortality is the age of the patient, followed by the Ann Arbor stage and the administration of chemotherapy. This predictive model has the potential to facilitate the identification of high-risk DLBCL patients by clinicians, ultimately leading to improved prognosis.

Implantable CAR T cell factories enhance solid tumor treatment
Biomaterials. 2024 Apr 15;308:122580. doi: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122580. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has produced revolutionary success in hematological cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma. Nonetheless, its translation to solid tumors faces challenges due to manufacturing complexities, short-lived in vivo persistence, and transient therapeutic impact. We introduce 'Drydux' - an innovative macroporous biomaterial scaffold designed for rapid, efficient in-situ generation of tumor-specific CAR T cells. Drydux expedites CAR T cell preparation with a mere three-day turnar...

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of combining carbimazole (CBZ) with vitamin E (VE) on testicular injury induced by experimental hyperthyroidism in adult albino rats, focusing on oxidative, inflammatory, and apoptotic pathways. In this experimental study, 64 adult male albino Wistar rats were divided into eight groups: Group I (control-untreated), Group II (CBZ-control), Group III (VE-control), Group IV (CBZ + VE-control), Group V (levothyroxine-induced testicular injury), Group VI (levothyroxine + CBZ-treated), Group VII (levothyroxine + VE-treated), and Group VIII (levothyroxine + CBZ + VE-treated).

Discovery of novel pyridone-benzamide derivatives possessing a 1-methyl-2-benzimidazolinone moiety as potent EZH2 inhibitors for the treatment of B-cell lymphomas
In this study, based on the binding model of 1 (tazemetostat) with polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), we designed and synthesized a series of tazemetostat analogs bearing a 1-methyl-2-benzimidazolinone moiety to improve the inhibitory activity of EZH2 wild-type (WT) and Y641 mutants and enhance metabolic stability. After the assessment of the structure-activity relationship at enzymatic and cellular levels, compound N40 was identified. Biochemical assays showed that compound N40 (IC50 = 0.32 nM) exhibited superior inhibitory activity against EZH2 WT, compared with 1 (IC50 = 1.20 nM), and high potency against EZH2 Y641 m...

Mantle Cell Lymphoma Under the Scope of Personalized Medicine: Perspective and Directions
Clin Lymphoma Myeloma Leuk. 2024 Mar 27:S2152-2650(24)00135-6. doi: 10.1016/j.clml.2024.03.010. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, incurable non-Hodgkin's lymphoma characterized by naive B cells infiltrating the lymphoid follicle's mantle zone. A key feature of MCL is the cytogenetic abnormality t(11;14) (q13:q14), found in 95% of cases, leading to Cyclin D1 overexpression resulting in uncontrolled cell cycle progression and genetic instability. Occasionally, Cyclin D2 or D3 overexpression can substitute for Cyclin D1, causing similar effects. The transcription factor SOX11 is a hallmark of...

SOHO State of the Art Updates and Next Questions: Diagnosis and Management of Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance and Smoldering Multiple Myeloma
Clin Lymphoma Myeloma Leuk. 2024 Mar 16:S2152-2650(24)00115-0. doi: 10.1016/j.clml.2024.03.008. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMonoclonal proteins are common, with a prevalence in the United States around 5% and the incidence increases with age. Although most patients are asymptomatic, the vast majority of cases are caused by a clonal plasma cell disorder. Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) are asymptomatic precursor conditions with variable risk of progression to multiple myeloma (MM). In recent years, significant progress has been made to better understand the f...
