Introduction

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is characterized by highly genetic heterogeneity, owing to recurrent fusion genes, gene mutations, intragenic deletion, and gene overexpression, which poses significant challenges in clinical detection. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is a powerful tool for detecting multiple genetic abnormalities, especially cryptic gene rearrangements, in a single test.

Methods

Sixty samples (B-ALL, n = 49; T-ALL, n = 9; mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), n = 2) and 20 controls were analyzed by targeted RNA-seq panel of 507 genes developed by our lab. Of these, 16 patients were simultaneously analyzed for gene mutations at the DNA level using a next-generation sequencing panel of 51 genes. Fusion genes, CRLF2 expression, and IKZF1 intragenic deletion were also detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Karyotype analysis was performed using the R-banding and G-banding technique on bone marrow cells after 24 hours of culture. Partial fusion genes were analyzed using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).

Results

Compared with the results of Karyotype analysis, FISH, and RT-PCR, the detection rate of fusion genes by targeted RNA-seq increased from 48.3% to 58.3%, and six unexpected fusion genes were discovered, along with one rare isoform of IKZF1 intragenic deletion (IK10). The DNA sequencing analysis of 16 ALL patients revealed that 96.2% (25/26) of gene mutations identified at the DNA level were also detectable at the RNA level, except for one mutation with a low variant allele fraction. The detection of CRLF2 overexpression exhibited complete concordance between RT-PCR and RNA-seq.

Conclusion

The utilization of RNA-seq enables the identification of clinically significant genetic abnormalities that may go undetected through conventional detection methods. Its robust analytical performance might bring great application value for clinical diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy in ALL.

导言:急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)由于反复出现融合基因、基因突变、基因内缺失和基因过度表达,具有高度遗传异质性,这给临床检测带来了巨大挑战。RNA测序(RNA-seq)是一次性检测多种基因异常,尤其是隐性基因重排的有力工具:通过本实验室开发的包含 507 个基因的靶向 RNA-seq 面板分析了 60 份样本(B-ALL,n = 49;T-ALL,n = 9;混合表型急性白血病(MPAL),n = 2)和 20 份对照。其中,16 名患者同时接受了由 51 个基因组成的新一代测序小组的 DNA 基因突变分析。还通过反转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测了融合基因、CRLF2表达和IKZF1基因内缺失。培养 24 小时后,采用 R 带和 G 带技术对骨髓细胞进行核型分析。使用荧光原位杂交(FISH)分析部分融合基因:结果:与核型分析、FISH和RT-PCR的结果相比,靶向RNA-seq的融合基因检出率从48.3%上升到58.3%,发现了6个意外的融合基因,以及一个罕见的IKZF1基因内缺失同工型(IK10)。对16名ALL患者的DNA测序分析显示,除了一个变异等位基因比例较低的基因突变外,96.2%(25/26)在DNA水平发现的基因突变在RNA水平也能检测到。RT-PCR和RNA-seq对CRLF2过表达的检测结果完全一致:结论:RNA-seq 的使用能够发现传统检测方法可能无法检测到的具有临床意义的基因异常。RNA-seq强大的分析性能可能会为ALL的临床诊断、预后和治疗带来巨大的应用价值。

Introduction

Falsely elevated synovial white blood cell (WBC) counts using automated hematology analyzers have been reported particularly in the setting of joint arthroplasty. We evaluated the implementation of a laboratory workflow based on Sysmex XN-1000-automated cell counting and scattergram interpretation.

Methods

WBC and differential were measured for 76 synovial fluid samples (29 native joints and 47 with joint arthroplasties) with Sysmex XN-1000 and manual methods. All scattergrams were evaluated for possible incorrect WBC and/or differential according to our implemented workflow. A specific finding was the “banana-shape” scattergram, which indicates possible interferences. The European Bone & Joint Infection Society (EBJIS) criteria were applied to identify possible prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) in patients with joint arthroplasties.

Results

Correlation between automated and manual WBC counts, calculated for samples with WBC count <50 000/μL, was higher for native joints (r = 0.938) compared with patients known with arthroplasty (r = 0.906). Scattergrams classified as OK showed overall a higher correlation compared with scattergrams, which were interpreted as NOT OK. “Banana-shape” scattergrams (n = 19) showed falsely elevated automated WBC count, and the patterns were mainly seen in prosthesis patients (17/19 [89%]). Six of 47 (13%) patients with joint arthroplasties were reclassified from “confirmed” to “unlikely” PJI according to the EBJIS criteria.

Conclusion

Our workflow based on scattergram interpretation resulted in accurate WBC counts in synovial fluid using automated/and or manual methods. It is important to identify the presence of “banana-shape” scattergrams to avoid overestimated automated WBC counts. Overall, automated synovial WBC count can be used, even for patients with arthroplasty, but after visual inspection of the scattergram to exclude possible interferences.

导言:使用全自动血液分析仪进行滑膜白细胞(WBC)计数时出现错误升高的报道屡见不鲜,尤其是在关节置换术中。我们评估了基于 Sysmex XN-1000 自动细胞计数和散点图解读的实验室工作流程的实施情况:方法:使用 Sysmex XN-1000 和人工方法测量了 76 份滑液样本(29 份原生关节样本和 47 份关节置换样本)的白细胞和差值。根据我们实施的工作流程,对所有散点图进行了评估,以确定白细胞和/或差值是否有误。一个特别的发现是 "香蕉形 "散点图,这表明可能存在干扰。欧洲骨与关节感染学会(EBJIS)的标准被用于识别关节置换术患者中可能存在的人工关节感染(PJI):结果:自动白细胞计数与人工白细胞计数之间的相关性,对有白细胞计数的样本进行计算:我们基于散点图解读的工作流程可使用自动/和或人工方法准确计算滑膜液中的白细胞数量。重要的是要识别 "香蕉形 "散点图的存在,以避免高估自动白细胞计数。总之,即使是关节置换术患者也可以使用自动滑膜白细胞计数,但必须对散点图进行肉眼检查以排除可能的干扰。

Pseudo-Chediak-Higashi granules are large cytoplasmic inclusions commonly encountered in myeloblasts or other myeloid precursors in acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes. However, pseudo-Chediak-Higashi granules are rarely found in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We present the case of an 8-year-old boy who was diagnosed with ALL with pseudo-Chediak-Higashi granules in the initial diagnosis and relapse, acting like a characteristic marker.

假性切迪克-希氏颗粒是急性髓性白血病和骨髓增生异常综合征中髓母细胞或其他髓系前体常见的大细胞质内含物。然而,在急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)中很少发现假性切迪克-希氏颗粒。我们介绍了一例被诊断为ALL的8岁男孩的病例,他在初诊和复发时都出现了假性切迪克-希格希颗粒,这就像一个特征性标记物。

The hemoglobin (Hb) variants are qualitative abnormalities due to production of structurally abnormal globin proteins. They are categorized based on the type of mutation present in the α1, α2, β, Gγ, Aγ and δ globin genes. So far, more than 1550 Hb variants are reported in the database. They could lead to Hb polymerization, Hb instability, altered oxygen affinity and decreased oxygen-carrying capacity of Hb or have no clinical manifestations. In India, ethnic diversity, consanguinity, regional variations and migration result in the presence of different Hb variants. We have compiled all the variants of α, β and δ globin chains in heterozygous, homozygous and in compound heterozygous forms reported from India in the last 52 years. Of the 63 rare and novel hemoglobin variants reported from India, 22 were α-globin chain variants, 37 were β-globin chain variants and 4 were δ-globin chain variants. Twelve novel Hb variants (Hb J Rajappan, Hb Koya Dora, Hb Rampa, Hb Godavari, Hb Chandigarh, Hb D Agri, Hb Lucknow, Hb Vellore, Hb Midnapore, Hb Bijnor, Hb A2Tianhe and Hb A2Saurashtra) were identified among persons of Indian origin. Majority of them were picked up on HPLC. Some of the variants like Hb Titusville, Hb Shimonoseki, Hb Chandigarh, Hb D Agri, Hb Yaizu and Hb Vellore eluted in the HbS window whereas variants like HbD Iran, Hb St. Louis, Hb G Coushata, HbM Saskatoon, Hb Lucknow, Hb Grange-Blanche and Hb Tianshui showed falsely elevated HbA2. Hence, careful and systematic investigations are required to identify them.

血红蛋白(Hb)变异体是由于产生结构异常的球蛋白而导致的质量异常。它们根据α1、α2、β、Gγ、Aγ和δ球蛋白基因突变的类型进行分类。迄今为止,数据库中已报告了超过 1550 种 Hb 变异。它们可能导致 Hb 聚合、Hb 不稳定、Hb 的氧亲和力改变和携氧能力下降,或者没有临床表现。在印度,种族多样性、近亲结婚、地区差异和移民导致了不同 Hb 变异的存在。我们汇编了过去 52 年中印度报告的所有α、β 和δ 球蛋白链的杂合型、同型和复合杂合型变异。在印度报告的 63 个罕见和新型血红蛋白变异体中,22 个是α-球蛋白链变异体,37 个是β-球蛋白链变异体,4 个是δ-球蛋白链变异体。在印度裔人群中发现了 12 个新型 Hb 变异体(Hb J Rajappan、Hb Koya Dora、Hb Rampa、Hb Godavari、Hb Chandigarh、Hb D Agri、Hb Lucknow、Hb Vellore、Hb Midnapore、Hb Bijnor、Hb A2Tianhe 和 Hb A2Saurashtra)。其中大部分是在高效液相色谱法中发现的。一些变异体,如 Hb Titusville、Hb Shimonoseki、Hb Chandigarh、Hb D Agri、Hb Yaizu 和 Hb Vellore 在 HbS 窗口洗脱,而 HbD Iran、Hb St.Louis、Hb G Coushata、HbM Saskatoon、Hb Lucknow、Hb Grange-Blanche 和 Hb Tianshui 等变异体则显示 HbA2 假性升高。因此,需要进行仔细和系统的调查来识别它们。

Background

Diagnosis of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) becomes difficult in a primary healthcare center due to ambiguous interpretation of spirometry and lack of facility to access established biomarkers. While routine hematological indices are easily available and accessible. The study aimed to evaluate the role of different hemogram indexes in males in COPD, asthma, and healthy smokers.

Materials and Methods

Lung function tests and complete blood count (CBC) were done for 50 male subjects each from asthma, COPD, and healthy smokers. Multivariate analysis (MVA) was performed on blood indices data set. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to observe the performance of indexes. Pearson correlation was used to establish association between the lung function and blood indices.

Results

Most of the indices were elevated in COPD. Whereas, asthma patients showed a significant increase in eosinophil basophil ratio (EBR), lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR), and mean platelet volume-platelet count ratio (MPR). Orthogonal (O)- Partial Least-Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLSDA) and variable importance in projection (VIP) score established EBR, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and LMR, as discriminants for asthma. Whereas, Systemic Inflammatory Response Index (SIRI), NLR and EBR were the key variables for COPD. NLR (r = −0.73, p < 0.001) and SIRI (r = −0.71, p < 0.001) were found to be negatively correlated with forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) percentage of the predicted value (%pred) in asthma and COPD, respectively. EBR showed the sensitivity and specificity of 96% and 86% respectively in asthma. NLR was having sensitivity of 82% and 90% specificity in COPD.

Conclusion

Our study in males shows routine hematological indices as being cost-effective, feasible, and seem to have tremendous potential as screening markers among chronic respiratory diseases in a primary healthcare center.

背景:在初级医疗保健中心,由于对肺活量测定的解释不明确以及缺乏获得既定生物标志物的设施,哮喘和慢性阻塞性肺病(COPD)的诊断变得十分困难。而常规血液学指标却很容易获得和使用。本研究旨在评估不同血液指标在男性慢性阻塞性肺病、哮喘和健康吸烟者中的作用:对哮喘、慢性阻塞性肺病和健康吸烟者各 50 名男性受试者进行了肺功能测试和全血细胞计数(CBC)。对血液指标数据集进行了多变量分析(MVA)。绘制了接收者操作特征(ROC)曲线,以观察指标的性能。使用皮尔逊相关性建立肺功能和血液指标之间的联系:结果:慢性阻塞性肺疾病患者的大部分指数都升高了。而哮喘患者的嗜酸性粒细胞-嗜碱性粒细胞比值(EBR)、淋巴细胞-单核细胞比值(LMR)和平均血小板体积-血小板计数比值(MPR)明显升高。正交(O)-部分最小二乘判别分析(PLSDA)和预测变量重要性(VIP)评分确定了嗜酸性粒细胞比率(EBR)、中性粒细胞-淋巴细胞比率(NLR)和淋巴细胞-淋巴细胞比率(LMR)是哮喘的判别因子。而全身炎症反应指数(SIRI)、NLR 和 EBR 是慢性阻塞性肺病的关键变量。NLR(r = -0.73,p 结论:SIRI、NLR 和 EBR 是哮喘的关键变量:我们在男性中进行的研究表明,常规血液学指标具有成本效益和可行性,而且作为初级医疗保健中心慢性呼吸系统疾病的筛查指标似乎具有巨大的潜力。

Bone marrow aspirate showed diffuse infiltration by a population of monomorphic cells with scant cytoplasm, markedly increased nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio, and numerous indistinct nucleoli. Bone marrow biopsy confirmed extensive marrow infiltration by a malignant neoplasm with strong and diffuse expression of synaptophysin by immunohistochemistry, consistent with metastases from Merkel Cell carcinoma.

骨髓穿刺显示单形细胞弥漫浸润,细胞质稀少,核与细胞质比率明显增高,核小体模糊不清。骨髓活检证实,恶性肿瘤广泛浸润骨髓,免疫组化显示突触素强而弥漫表达,与梅克尔细胞癌转移一致。

Schistocytes are fragmented red blood cells produced as a result of mechanical damage to erythrocytes, usually due to microangiopathic thrombotic diseases or mechanical factors. The early laboratory detection of schistocytes has a critical impact on the timely diagnosis, effective treatment, and positive prognosis of diseases such as thrombocytopenic purpura and hemolytic uremic syndrome. Due to the rapid development of science and technology, laboratory hematology has also advanced. The accuracy and efficiency of tests performed by fully automated hematology analyzers and fully automated morphology analyzers have been considerably improved. In recent years, substantial improvements in computing power and machine learning (ML) algorithm development have dramatically extended the limits of the potential of autonomous machines. The rapid development of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) has led to the iteration and upgrade of automated detection of schistocytes. However, along with significantly facilitated operation processes, AI has brought challenges. This review summarizes the progress in laboratory schistocyte detection, the relationship between schistocytes and clinical diseases, and the progress of AI in the detection of schistocytes. In addition, current challenges and possible solutions are discussed, as well as the great potential of AI techniques for schistocyte testing in peripheral blood.

裂形红细胞是红细胞机械损伤后产生的碎红细胞,通常是由于微血管病变性血栓疾病或机械因素造成的。裂形红细胞的早期实验室检测对血小板减少性紫癜和溶血性尿毒症等疾病的及时诊断、有效治疗和积极预后有着至关重要的影响。随着科学技术的飞速发展,实验室血液学也在不断进步。全自动血液分析仪和全自动形态分析仪的准确性和检测效率都有了很大提高。近年来,计算能力的大幅提高和机器学习(ML)算法的发展极大地拓展了自主机器的潜力极限。机器学习和人工智能(AI)的快速发展带动了血吸虫自动检测的迭代和升级。然而,在大幅简化操作流程的同时,人工智能也带来了挑战。本综述总结了实验室血吸虫检测的进展、血吸虫与临床疾病的关系以及人工智能在血吸虫检测方面的进展。此外,还讨论了当前面临的挑战和可能的解决方案,以及人工智能技术在外周血血吸虫检测中的巨大潜力。
