    <abstract locale="en_US">Background:&#xA0;The Wound healing process, as a coordinated physiological mechanism, is a critical subject in medicine. The slow healing and scar formation associated with numerous conventional therapies have led researchers to seek new and more effective therapeutics.&#xA0; This study evaluated the effects of Mummy material, Wharton Jelly Stem Cells (WJSCs), and Adipocyte Stem cells (ASCs) on the fibroblast migration and proliferation.
Materials and Methods: It was demonstrated that fibroblast cells could attach to three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds in the mentioned microenvironment. ASCs and WJSCs were enriched from human adipose tissue and women undergoing cesarean section, respectively. The proliferation rate, migration, expression of fibronectin, collagen I, III, and cell adhesion on PCL scaffold in the presence of mummy material were investigated.
Results: The results emphasized the importance of Mummy material, ASCs, and WJSCs in the migration and proliferation of fibroblast cells.&#xA0;The presence of the aforementioned components and cells enhanced the expression of fibronectin (FN1) and collagen types I and III. Additionally, the mummy material was found to promote the proliferation of ADSCs and WJSCs seeded on the PCL scaffold. Together, these findings demonstrate a valuable in vitro technique for studying the healing process.
Conclusion: As a result, the potential for using Mummy material and stem cell-based therapeutics in wound healing is exciting.</abstract>

    <abstract locale="en_US">The skin is a vital organ that plays a crucial role in healing disruptions and abnormalities. Cutaneous wound healing faces some obstacles in certain abnormalities, including in diabetic patients. Various therapeutic approaches have been explored to enhance healing and restore skin integrity.
In recent years, exosomes have been introduced as a new cell-free therapy for wound healing. They are defined as naturally secreted nanovesicles released from most cell types into the extracellular space that can impact many targeted cells. In contrast to previous methods, exosomes have a longer half-life in target tissue and exert a more lasting effect. They also have fewer side effects thanks to their natural biological source.
Exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely studied for their therapeutic potential, but those from other cell types, such as fibroblasts, remain less explored. This review aims to comprehensively evaluate existing research on the wound-healing effects of fibroblast-derived exosomes (FB-EXOs), highlighting their potential as a novel treatment strategy.</abstract>

    <abstract locale="en_US">Sweet's syndrome is a rare dermatological condition characterized by a constellation of clinical features, including fever, neutrophilic leukocytosis, painful skin plaques, and dermal neutrophil infiltration. Various etiologies have been documented, encompassing both underlying diseases and pharmacological agents. We present a case involving a 35-year-old female patient who exhibited fever and progressive cutaneous lesions manifesting as a painful erythematous rash on the limbs and trunk. Initially misdiagnosed as seronegative lupus erythematosus, her condition did not improve. A skin biopsy revealed significant neutrophilic infiltration, and she subsequently developed leukocytosis, leading to a diagnosis of acute leukemia upon bone marrow examination. The patient was treated with chemotherapy, resulting in a relative improvement of her skin lesions.</abstract>

    <abstract locale="en_US">Background: The expression of anti-apoptotic B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) protein in B-cell chronic lymphoproliferative disorders (B-CLPDs) can provide valuable prognostic information and assist in assessing minimal bone marrow (BM) infiltration. This study aimed to detect BCL-2 expression in B-CLPDs and correlate the findings with various clinicobiologic factors.
Materials and Methods: Immunocytochemical staining was performed on mononuclear cell smears from 46 Sudanese patients, including 25 with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL) and 21 with B-cell non-Hodgkin&#x2019;s lymphomas (B-NHL), who were enrolled during their visit to the Radiation and Isotope Centre and Fedail Hospital, Khartoum. Diagnosis was based on clinical examination, morphology, and immunophenotyping.
Results: Among the 46 B-CLPD cases, BCL-2 expression was identified in 13 (28.2%), including 8/25 (32%) cases with B-CLL and 5/21 (23.8%) with B-NHL. No statistically significant associations were found between BCL-2 expression and age, sex, total white blood cell count, disease stage, and serum lactate dehydrogenase levels (all P&gt;0.05). However, BM involvement was significantly associated with BCL-2 expression (P=0.02).
Conclusion: The immunocytochemical staining method effectively detects BCL-2 protein in B-CLPDs, even in cases with minimal BM infiltration, thereby facilitating the correlation of this protein&#x2019;s expression with morphological and other clinicobiologic features. By combining cytologic morphology with immunocytochemistry, this technique enables earlier and more accessible evaluation of BM involvement.</abstract>

    <abstract locale="en_US">This case study outlines the complex treatment journey of a 53-year-old male diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML). Despite initial therapy with Imatinib and a subsequent switch to Dasatinib and then Bosutinib due to treatment resistance and adverse effects, the patient experienced multiple unexpected complications, including bilateral pleural effusions, pulmonary arterial hypertension, renal impairment, and neurological symptoms. Bosutinib was identified as the likely cause, leading to its discontinuation and transition to Nilotinib, which resulted in a sustained molecular response without further adverse events. Through this case report and literature review, we aim to expand the dimensions of the toxicity profile of bosutinib.&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;</abstract>

    <abstract locale="en_US">Background: This study aimed to evaluate the rate of neutrophil and platelet engraftment in pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients. Additionally, it sought to assess whether engraftment kinetics were influenced by CD34+ cell dose, CD3+ cell dose in T cell-replete transplants with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy), and the type of stem cell transplantation.
Materials and Methods: The study included 60 pediatric patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation between August 2023 and January 2024. Flow cytometry was used to quantify CD34+ cells. A peripheral smear and the haematology analyzer were used to measure the platelet count and neutrophils munosuppression. Nestin staining revealed hypertrophic astrocytes forming patches about blood vessels with positive cytoplasmic staining in endothelium and pericytes (5-10% of the intra-tumor arterioles). These findings were seen in both B and T lymphomas. OCT4 nuclear expression was only observed in five large B-cell lymphomas and seemed to have a relationship with mitoses/HPF (high power field).
&#xD;

Conclusion: The novel finding of endothelial, pericytes and hypertrophic astrocytes staining with nestin, points to the involvement of stem cells promoting angiogenesis as a result of a dialogue between neoplastic cells and vascular stem cells. OCT4 expression seems to have a relationship with cell proliferation whose clinical significance should be investigated in prospective studies.</abstract>

    <abstract locale="en_US">RET-He is a cost-effective parameter to assess iron status in CKD, but further research is necessary to assess its correlation with existing parameters. This study attempted to investigate the correlation between RET-He, iron status, and erythrocyte indices among CKD patients.
&#xD;

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 110 CKD patients who underwent routine hematology and iron profile tests (serum iron/SI, total iron binding capacity/TIBC, transferrin saturation/TSAT, and ferritin). RET-He was then measured using a Sysmex XN-1000 hematology analyzer. Statistical tests were used to define the correlation between RET-He), iron status, and erythrocyte indices.
&#xD;

Results: There was a significant positive correlation between RET-He and SI (r = 0.349; p = 0.000), TSAT (r = 0.393; p = 0.000), and ferritin (r = 0.279; p = 0.003). Among CKD patients with excess iron levels, there was a moderate correlation between RET-He and TSAT (r = 0.404; p = 0.000).
&#xD;

Conclusion: The study found a significant correlation between RET-He levels and iron status markers in CKD patients. RET-He is recommended as an additional parameter to assess iron status and as an additional method to estimate TSAT and ferritin levels, especially in settings where chemistry analyzers are unavailable. Further research is required to establish RET-He cut-off values for identifying excessive iron levels in CKD patients.

    <abstract locale="en_US">for acute leukemia, though outcomes in older patients remain suboptimal due to higher non-relapse mortality (NRM) and relapse rates. Innovations in conditioning regimens and supportive care have made HSCT accessible to patients over 50, but age-related disparities in outcomes persist.
&#xD;

Materials and Methods: This 10-year retrospective cohort study reviewed all patients who underwent first-time allogeneic HSCT for acute leukemia. Patients were stratified by age at HSCT (&#x2265; 50 years and &lt; 50 years), and outcomes were assessed for overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), NRM, and relapse incidence (RI).
&#xD;

Results: Of the 1199 patients, 152 were 50 years or older. Five-year OS rates were markedly lower in patients &#x2265; 50 years compared to younger patients (48.70% vs. 59.35%; P= 0.024 for AML and 23.60% vs. 41.96%; P= 0.025 for ALL). Moreover, older patients demonstrated significantly higher NRM rates (35.95% vs. 23.53%; P= 0.045 for AML and 78.14% vs. 26.76%; P= 0.005 for ALL) and a notably increased incidence of grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). Interestingly, no significant differences were observed between the two age groups regarding DFS rates and RI.
&#xD;

Conclusion: Older acute leukemia patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT face significant challenges, including elevated NRM and GVHD rates. While relapse rates were comparable, survival outcomes favored the younger cohort. These findings emphasize the need for age-adapted transplantation strategies, using reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens and further research to refine risk stratification and improve management approaches for older patients.</abstract>

    <abstract locale="en_US">Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is considered a potentially curative treatment for several malignant and non-malignant hematologic disorders including transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT). However, HSCT is associated with short-term and long-term complications. One of the recognized causes of morbidity and mortality in TDT patients is heart-related complications. Additionally, cardiac involvement is likely to be more common in patients who proceed to HSCT. So the risks of cardiac complications should be carefully weighed against the advantages of the primary disease cure. This review aims to discuss the cardiac considerations that should be kept in mind in TDT patients going through the path of HSCT.</abstract>

    <abstract locale="en_US">Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a medical condition characterized by a decreased activity of the ADAMTS13 protease,&#xA0; responsible for cleaving the von Willebrand factor. It contributes to&#xA0;thrombotic microangiopathy. In this report, we described a case of TTP&#xA0; followed by significant adverse effects during therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) treatment. The patient received TPE with a time interval from plasma transfusion.
&#xD;

A 30-year-old female was evaluated for headaches and bruises on her arms and legs. Laboratory testing revealed thrombocytopenia and anemia. The identification of thrombocytopenia with severe schistocytosis was verified by the analysis of a peripheral blood smear. After confirming a diagnosis of TTP, TPE was performed as therapy. To avoid the complications arising during the previous TPE sessions, we conducted plasma exchange with albumin followed by FFP injection, with a six-hour interval between them. This strategy successfully alleviated the patient's symptoms.
&#xD;

Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) with a time interval from plasma transfusion can be successfully used in patients with severe TPE complications.</abstract>
