    Abstract Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms originating in the skin, with mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS) representing the most common variants. The cellular origin of cutaneous lymphomas has remained controversial owing to their immense phenotypic heterogeneity that obfuscates lineage reconstruction on the basis of classical surface biomarkers. To overcome this heterogeneity and reconstruct the differentiation trajectory of malignant cells in MF and SS, TCR sequencing was performed in parallel with targeted transcriptomics at the single-cell resolution among cutaneous samples in MF and SS. Unsupervised lineage reconstruction showed that Sézary cells exist as a population of CD4

    Abstract We have developed a simple and robust probe-free quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay method that can detect minor mutant alleles with a frequency as low as 0.1% in a heterogeneous sample by introducing a novel T-blocker concept to the allele-specific PCR method. Four new KRAS and BRAF mutation detection assays were developed and their performance was demonstrated by testing a large number of replicates, utilizing a customized PCR protocol. Highly efficient and specific mutant amplification in conjunction with selective wild-type suppression by the T-blocker concept enabled 0.1% detection sensitivity using the intercalating dye-based qPCR chemistry instead of more complex target-specific dye-labeled probes. Excellent consistency in sensitivity and specificity of the T-blocker assay concept was demonstrated.

    Abstract Persons with HIV are at increased risk for diabetes mellitus compared with individuals without HIV. Adipose tissue is an important regulator of glucose and lipid metabolism, and adipose tissue T cells modulate local inflammatory responses and, by extension, adipocyte function. Persons with HIV and diabetes have a high proportion of CX3CR1

    Abstract Primary cutaneous CD8-positive aggressive epidermotropic T-cell lymphoma is a rare and poorly characterized variant of cutaneous lymphoma still considered a provisional entity in the latest 2016 World Health Organization Classification of Cutaneous lymphomas. We sought to better characterize and provide diagnostic and therapeutic guidance of this rare cutaneous lymphoma. Thirty-four patients with a median age of 77 years (range 19-89 years) presented primarily with extensive annular necrotic plaques or tumor lesions with frequent mucous membrane involvement. The 5-year survival was 32% with a median survival of 12 months. A subset of 17 patients had a prodrome of chronic patches prior to the development of aggressive ulcerative lesions. We identified cases with lack of CD8 or αβ T-cell receptor expression yet with similar clinical and pathological presentation. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation provided partial or complete remissions in 5/6 patients. We recommend the term primary cutaneous aggressive epidermotropic cytotoxic T-cell lymphoma as this more broad designation better describes this clinical-pathologic presentation, which allows the inclusion of cases with CD8 negative and/or αβ/γδ T-cell receptor chain double-positive or double-negative expression. We have identified early skin signs of chronic patch/plaque lesions that are often misdiagnosed as eczema, psoriasis, or mycosis fungoides. Our experience confirms the poor prognosis of this entity and highlights the inefficacy of our standard therapies with the exception of allogeneic stem cell transplantation in selected cases.

    Abstract Introduction: CTCL are rare neoplasms. Optimal care requires integrated use of diagnostic and treatment modalities spanning multiple specialties. Current instruments for patient risk stratification and disease measurement across all anatomical compartments are suboptimal. A common treatment dichotomy between early (Dermatology) and advanced stage (Hematology-Oncology) has hindered accrual of long term outcome data. Thus, important facts about natural history, such as frequency and determinants of stage progression, and the impact of specific treatment modalities on these endpoints, are not known. Areas covered: One of the most important decisions in the management of CTCL is when to start systemic therapy and what agents to use. This review provides background information to understand why systemic therapy is needed and what goals are currently achievable. Expert commentary: Risk-adapted approaches, based on better knowledge of host and tumor biology, and more accurate disease measurement tools are needed to optimize the use of specific systemic therapies.

    Abstract Cutaneous lymphomas (CL) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms characterized with clinical and histopathological variation, as well as overlap with benign dermatoses. Diagnosis and treatment of CLs is challenging and often requires a multidisciplinary approach. However, prognostic knowledge of these conditions and awareness of treatment options can help optimize appropriate use of available regimens, thereby improving care for patients. Here, we review the most recent literature and outline treatment themes for managing patients with cutaneous B-cell and T-cell lymphomas other than mycosis fungoides.

    Abstract In order to delineate which minimalistic physical primitives can enable the full power of universal quantum computing, it has been fruitful to consider various measurement based architectures which reduce or eliminate the use of coherent unitary evolution, and also involve operations that are physically natural. In this context previous works had shown that the triplet-singlet measurement of two qubit angular momentum (or equivalently two qubit exchange symmetry) yields the power of quantum computation given access to a few additional different single qubit states or gates.

    Abstract Abnormalities in airway mucus lead to chronic disorders in the pulmonary system such as asthma, fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Among these, COPD is more prominent worldwide. Various conventional approaches are available in the market for the treatment of COPD, but the delivery of drugs to the target site remains a challenge with conventional approaches. Nanocarrier-based approaches are considered the best due to their sustained release properties to the target site, smaller size, high surface-to-volume ratio, patient compliance, overcoming airway defenses and improved pharmacotherapy. This article provides updated information about the treatment of COPD along with nanocarrier-based approaches as well as the potential of gene therapy and stem cell therapy to combat the COPD.
