BACKGROUND: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematologic malignancy characterized by the abnormal proliferation of myeloid hematopoietic cells and it is urgently needed to develop new molecular biomarkers to predict clinical outcomes and improve therapeutic effects. METHODS: The differentially expressed genes were identified by comparing TCGA with GETx data. Univariate LASSO and multivariate cox regression analysis were performed to identify prognosis-associated pseudogenes...

BACKGROUND: Congenital protein C deficiency is a rare hereditary thrombophilia, neonatal purpura fulminans is the most serious form of this deficit. The purpose of this observation is two-fold. The first is the need to make an early diagnosis in order to improve the prognosis. The second, is to discuss the need. In case of extensive purpura fulminans in the neonatal period, the search for a deficiency in anticoagulant factor, in particular the dosage of protein C, in the newborn and in both parents...

BACKGROUND: The latest region-specific panel of mycoplasma species is often crucial for providing insights into local mycoplasma epidemiology and updating clinical practice guidance. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed reports of 4,166 female outpatients detected by the mycoplasma identification verification and antibiotic susceptibility kit from the last five years. RESULTS: Among them, > 73.3% of cases with Ureaplasma urealyticum or Mycoplasma hominis single infection or co-infection with both species were susceptible to three tetracyclines and one macrolide (josamycin)...

BACKGROUND: Defined as rare large azurophilic cytoplasmic inclusions, Pseudo-Chediak-Higashi granules mimic those in granulocytes cytoplasm of Chediak-Higashi syndrome. Rare cases of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues tumors showed Pseudo-Chediak-Higashi inclusions in cytoplasm, some of which presented with unusual morphological characteristics. METHODS: Herein, we report the first case, in which rare pseudo-Chediak-Higashi inclusions were observed in therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changes (t-AML-MRC)...

BACKGROUND: One of the most dangerous side effects of joint replacement for the hip, knee, shoulder, and elbow is prosthesis joint infection (PJI). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been considered a promising method for PJI diagnosis due to its short diagnostic time and high sensitivity. Although several PCR methods such as multiplex PCR and broad-range PCR are useful diagnostic methods for detecting microorganisms causing PJI, values of different PCR methods for the diagnosis of PJI remain unclear...

BACKGROUND: Studies investigating the diagnostic and prognostic value of D-dimer levels and the disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) score in sepsis or septic shock commonly include preselected subgroups of patients or were published prior to the current sepsis-3 criteria. Therefore, this study investigates the diagnostic and prognostic impact of D-dimer levels and the DIC score in patients with sepsis and septic shock. METHODS: Consecutive patients with sepsis and septic shock enrolled in the prospective and monocentric "MARSS" registry from 2019 to 2021 were included...

BACKGROUND: There are occasional unexpected detections in HbA1c tests. Here, we described a novel β-globin gene mutation and its hematological phenotype. METHODS: The proband is a 60-year-old woman who was admitted to the hospital for two weeks due to chest pain.

BACKGROUND: Reference intervals (RI) are an essential section of the information that medical laboratories present to clinicians to facilitate the management process of the patient. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (fT4), and free triiodothyronine (fT3) are the most valuable and cost-effective parameters of thyroid functions. According to the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC), Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), and American Thyroid Association (ATA), every laboratory should determine own RI on own population and method...

BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, thrombocytopenia is very dangerous for patients, because it has the risk of bleeding and may cause serious adverse consequences. Therefore, timely and accurate identification of spurious platelet counts is very important to improve patient safety. METHODS: This study reported a case of spurious platelet counts in a patient with influenza B virus. RESULTS: Leukocyte fragmentation is responsible for the inaccurate platelet detection results by resistance method in this influenza B patient...

BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease commonly found among elderly populations. Multiple risk factors, including non-clinical and genetic factors, contribute to the etiology and pathogenesis of OA. This study aimed to investigate the association between the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II alleles and knee OA occurrence in a Thai population. METHODS: HLA-DRB1 and -DQB1 alleles in 117 patients with knee OA and 84 controls were determined using the PCR with sequence-specific primer (PCR-SSP) method...

BACKGROUND: Altered anti-CD25 antibody levels in plasma have been observed in patients with various solid malignancies. The present study aimed to determine whether circulating anti-CD25 antibody levels were altered in bladder cancer (BC). METHODS: An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed in-house to detect plasma IgG antibodies against three CD25-derived linear peptide antigens in 132 patients with BC and 120 control subjects. RESULTS: The Mann-Whitney U-test indicated that the plasma levels of anti-CD25a (Z = -10...

BACKGROUND: Mucor infection cannot be ignored in patients with pulmonary shadowing with cavitation. This paper reports a case of mucormycosis during the COVID-19 pandemic in Hubei Province, China. METHODS: An anesthesiology doctor was initially diagnosed as COVID-19 due to changes in lung imaging. After anti-infective, anti-viral, and symptomatic supportive treatment, some of symptoms were relieved. But some symptoms -'chest pain and discomfort', accompanied by chest sulking and short breath after activities, did not ease...
