    Abstract Introduction: The hematological manifestations of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can confound the diagnosis and therapy of other diseases. In this paper, we firstly reported a case of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) of delayed diagnosis and intolerance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) concurrent with COVID-19.
    Case presentation: A 56-year-old female was diagnosed as COVID-19 with no obvious leukocytosis [white blood cell (WBC), ≤17 × 10
    Conclusion: The offset effect between CML and SARS-CoV-2 infection was supposed to be the underlying mechanism for the absence of leukocytosis or splenomegaly. The impact of immune network by SARS-CoV-2 preserved and disrupted the patient's response to TKIs despite the virus' ablation. We suggest that a continued elevation of basophils may be a useful indicator for CML concurrent with COVID-19, and individualized treatment with adjusted dosage and suitable type of TKIs should be considered to improve the patient's health outcome.

    Abstract Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) therapies have been significantly improved by the development of medicines that can target BCL-2. On the other hand, non-recurrent alterations in oncogenic pathways and gene expression patterns have already been linked to therapeutic resistance to venetoclax therapy. Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) support leukemic cells in preventing chemotherapy-induced apoptosis by mitochondrial transfer in leukemic microenvironment. In this study, we investigated the enhancement of the antitumor effect of BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax by dexamethasone. In particular, dexamethasone had no significant effect on the viability of AML cells, but dexamethasone combined with venetoclax could significantly increase the apoptosis of AML cells induced by venetoclax. When AML cells were co-cultured with BM-MSCs, dexamethasone combined with venetoclax showed additional anti-tumor effect compared to venetoclax alone. Venetoclax increased reactive oxygen species level in co-cultured AML cells, contributed to transfer more mitochondria from BM-MSCs to AML cells and protect AML cells from apoptosis. Dexamethasone combined with venetoclax induced more apoptosis, but dexamethasone reduced the venetoclax-induced reactive oxygen species level in AML cells and reduced the transfer of mitochondria from BM-MSCs to AML cells. This may lead to a diminished protective effect of BM-MSCs on AML cells. Together, our findings indicated that venetoclax in combination with dexamethasone could be a promising therapy in AML.

    Abstract T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) has a poor prognosis as a result of severe immunosuppression and rapid tumor progression with resistance to conventional chemotherapy. Excessive IgD may play a role in T cell activation via IgD Fc receptor (FcδR). Here we aimed to investigate the effects of IgD in T-ALL and demonstrated the potential benefit by targeting IgD/FcδR in T-ALL patients with IgD-Fc-Ig fusion protein. In T-ALL patients' blood samples and cell lines, the level of IgD, the percentage of FcδR expressing cells and the binding affinity were determined by flow cytometry. T cell viability, proliferation and apoptosis were analyzed. A mouse xenograft model was used to evaluate the in vivo effect of IgD-Fc-Ig, an IgD-FcδR blocker. The levels of serum IgD and FcδR were abnormally increased in part of T-ALL patients and IgD could induce over-proliferation and inhibit apoptosis of T-ALL cells in vitro. FcδR was constitutively expressed on T-ALL cells. IgD-Fc-Ig showed similar binding affinity to FcδR and selectively blocked the stimulation effect of IgD on T-ALL cells in vitro. In vivo study exhibited that IgD-Fc-Ig may also have therapeutic benefit. IgD-Fc-Ig administration inhibited human T-ALL growth and extended survival in xenograft T-ALL mice. In conclusion, this work supports the idea of targeting IgD/FcδR in T-ALL patients with excessive IgD. IgD-Fc-Ig fusion protein might be a potential biological drug with high selectivity for T-ALL treatment.

    Abstract Enabled by the coffee-ring effect, a paper-based signal transduce method is employed for catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) amplification and hybridization chain reaction (HCR) to achieve miRNA quantification. Once the target miRNAs appeared, it was circularly used by CHA to initiate HCR amplification to produce a large number of G-quadruplex, which is combined with hemin to form a hemin/G-quadruplex DNAzyme. The DNAzyme catalyzes a colorimetric reaction to produce colored nanoparticles, which were converted to the end edge of the paper by evaporation-driven flow, forming a visible colored band. Higher concentration of miRNA led to more colored nanoparticles and thus a longer colored band that can simply be measured by a ruler. The results of determination of miRNA in samples demonstrate that the relative standard deviation of the proposed approach is 5.2%, highly sensitive and repeatable, with a working range 1.0 to 1000 pM and a LOD of 0.2 pM. The paper-based analytical device as a novel platform offers a new signal transduce pathway toward the detection of low-abundance biomarkers for diagnosis.Graphical abstract Schematic representation of the principle for quantification of miRNA on paper based on the coffee-ring effect.

    Abstract Compared with systematic administration such as peripheral intravenous infusion, stem cell therapy by direct injection is theoretically more effective, but some technical barriers such as low stem cell retention rate and low engraftment rate still need to be overcome before its application in humans. Stem cell therapy supported by hydrogel carriers has been increasingly studied in recent years. These hydrogels with properties similar to natural tissues are able to fabricate various forms of carriers, which include in situ forming hydrogels, ex situ forming hydrogels, surface immobilization carriers, microencapsules, and microgels. Some of them are 3D carriers and promise to overcome the technical barriers of stem cell therapy by direct injection. They have different characteristics, application, and prospect in the application of stem cell therapy by direct injection, which is summarized by this review.

    Abstract For analysis of biomacromolecules, a sensitive, specified and reliable method is indispensable. Fluorescent dyes or fluorophores have been widely used as mediums to obtain readout signals in various assays or bioimaging because of their versatilities such as biocompatibility. Those fluorescent dyes based techniques manipulate many molecular interactions for analysis of biomacromolecules including antibody-protein interaction, base complementation, glycan-lectin interaction, etc. The strategies to manipulate those molecular interactions are various and always updating due to the development of biotechnological tools and instruments. In this minireview, we summarize the state of the art of signal improvement techniques for fluorescence detection of biomacromolecules especially proteins and nucleic acids. We focus on the principle and mechanism of those techniques for fluorescence detection of biomacromolecules. We also discuss the future trend of the techniques for fluorescence detection of biomacromolecules.

    Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a new class of noncoding RNAs, which can hybridize to target messenger RNAs and regulate their expression posttranscriptionally, express differentially in distinct stages of lymphopoiesis and influence the direction of lymphoid precursor maturation. Hence, there is aberrant expression of miRNAs involved in malignant lymphopoiesis, and these aberrations can be used as signatures of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with different subtypes. In addition, changes in the expression of several miRNAs may have functional relevance with leukemogenesis or drug resistance. As a result, the reversal of the expression of these miRNAs may alleviate the disease to some extent and improve clinical outcomes. However, among the studies of miRNAs, there are still some problems that need to be solved to understand the function of miRNAs in ALL more thoroughly.

    Abstract Rapid and sensitive diagnosing hematological infections based on the separation and detection of pathogenic bacteria in the patient's blood is a significant challenge. To address this, we herein present a new barcodes technology that can simultaneously capture and detect multiple types of pathogenic bacteria from a complex sample. The barcodes are poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogel inverse opal particles with characteristic reflection peak codes that remain stable during bacteria capture on their surfaces. As the spherical surface of the particles has ordered porous nanostructure, the barcodes can provide not only more surface area for probe immobilization and reaction, but also a nanopatterned platform for highly efficient bioreactions. In addition, the PEG hydrogel scaffold could decrease the non-specificity adsorption by its anti-adhesive effect, and the decorated aptamer probes in the scaffolds could increase the sensitivity, reliability, and specificity of the bacteria capture and detection. Moreover, the tagged magnetic nanoparticles in the PEG scaffold could impart the barcodes with controllable movement under magnetic fields, which can be used to significantly increase the reaction speed and simplify the processing of the bioassays. Based on the describe barcodes, it was demonstrated that the bacteria could be captured and identified even at low bacterial concentrations (100 CFU mL
