Plasmablastic lymphoma of the sphenoid bone in an immunocompetent patient: A diagnostic challenge
Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2023 Nov 9. doi: 10.4103/ijpm.ijpm_944_22. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPlasmablastic lymphoma is a rare type of highly aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that usually occurs in immunocompromised patients and involves chiefly extra-nodal sites such as the oral cavity, jaw, gastrointestinal tract, soft tissue, bone, and skin. People above the age of 50 years are more commonly affected, with male predominance having a survival rate of 8 to 15 months. Here, we describe the case of a 48-year-old man who had an isolated plasmablastic lymphoma of the right sphenoid bone without any immunodeficienc...

The Efficacy of Bepotastine Besilate Compared With Hydroxyzine Pamoate for Preventing Infusion Reactions to the First Dose of Rituximab in Patients With Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: Protocol for a Phase II, Double-Blind, Multicenter Randomized Trial
CONCLUSIONS: This study is the first randomized controlled trial comparing the effects of oral first- and second-generation histamine H1-receptor antagonists in preventing IRs induced by the initial administration of rituximab. The findings from this study hold the potential to establish the rationale for a phase III study aimed at determining the standard premedication protocol for rituximab infusion.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Japan Registry of Clinical Trials jRCTs051220169; https://jrct.niph.go.jp/latest-detail/jRCTs051220169.INTERNATIONAL REGISTERED REPORT IDENTIFIER (IRRID): DERR1-10.2196/54882.PMID:38386393 | DOI:10.2196/54...

Accumulation of circulating myeloid-derived suppressor cell subsets: predicting poor clinical efficacy and prognosis through T cell suppression in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
In conclusion, our study demonstrates that the increased circulating MDSC subsets predict poor clinical efficacy and prognosis in NHL, potentially involving T cell suppression through MDSC subsets expansion. These findings indicate the potential of MDSC subsets as comprehensive diagnostic, prognostic biomarkers, and therapeutic targets for NHL.PMID:38369808 | DOI:10.1093/jleuko/qiae032 (Source: Journal of Leukocyte Biology)

Dihydrocelastrol induces cell death and suppresses angiogenesis through BCR/AP-1/junb signalling in diffuse large B cell lymphoma
Arch Biochem Biophys. 2024 Feb 15:109929. doi: 10.1016/j.abb.2024.109929. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Although treatment options have improved, a large proportion of patients show low survival rates, highlighting an urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of the new small-molecule compound dihydrocelastrol (DHCE), acquired through the structural modification of celastrol (CE), in the treatment of DLBCL. DHCE showed potent anti-lymphoma efficacy and synergistic effects with dox...

Safety and Toxicity Profiles of CAR T Cell Therapy in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
The application of CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cell therapy has improved outcomes for thousands of patients with non-Hodgkin B cell lymphoma (NHL). The toxicities associated with various CAR T cell products, however, can be severe and difficult to anticipate. (Source: Clinical Lymphoma, Myeloma and Leukemia)

Safety of a 90-min duration of intravenous infusion of obinutuzumab in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in a tertiary hospital in China: a prospective, open-label, exploratory clinical trial
This study aimed to analyze the safety and applicability of a 90-min duration of infusion (SDI) of obinutuzumab in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in a tertiary hospital in China. This exploratory clinical trial was performed at Jiangsu Province Hospital. All patients were treated with the standard infusion regimen for the first infusion. If no grade ≥3 infusion-related reactions (IRRs) occurred, the subsequent infusions were given as SDI. The primary endpoint was the incidence of IRR during the standard infusion (3-4 h) and 90-min SDI regimens. This study enrolled 208 patients and all completed cycle 1...
