The aim of the study was to improve the understanding of complex karyotype acute mixed cell leukemia containing pseudo Chediak-Higashi granules.A case of acute mixed cell leukemia resembling AML1-ETO positive acute myeloid leukemia was reported. The results of morphological, immunophenotypic, and cytogenetic tests were analyzed by reviewing relevant literature.The patient was a young boy with clinical manifestations of recurrent fever. Bone marrow smear: Granulocyte system hyperplasia is obvious, visible at each stage, primitive cells account for 12%. These cells are large in volume, mostly round or class round, with abundant cell mass, stained gray blue, unbalanced development of some nuclear plasma, abnormal cytoplasmic staining, and visible "sunrise red" -like changes. Typical Auer bodies, pseudo Chadiak-Higashi granules and phagocytic erythroid substances were observed. The nuclei are irregular in shape, distorted and depressed, with fine chromatin and prominent large nucleoli. Bone marrow was extracted 3 days later, the bone marrow smear showed 65% primitive cells. The morphology of primitive cells was similar to that of 3 days ago. The results of flow cytometry showed that the primary/naive T cells in the samples possessed nuclear cells. Flow cytometry showed two groups of abnormal cells. One group accounted for 3.87% of nuclear cells and was a primitive/naive T-cell phenotype, mainly expressing: CD34+, CD7+, CD5+, CD2dim+, MPO-, CCD3 + part, CD3-, CD4-, CD8 -, CD117 -, CD13-, CD33-, HLA - DR -, CD10-, CD11b-, CD56-. The other group which accounted for 79.8% of the nuclear cells was monocyte phenotype, mainly expressing: CD34-, CD117-, CD13+ small amount, CD33+, HLA-DR-, CD11b+, CD14+, CD15+, CD36+, CD56+, CD64+, CD4+, CD85J+, CD85K + part. It matched the immunophenotype of acute mixed cell leukemia (T/MMPAL). Immunophenotypic leukemia-related fusion genes were negative, and karyotype analysis results were 45, XY, T (11; 12)(p13; Q13), -12-17, + mar [12]/90 < n > 4, idem x 2 [6]/46, XY. Combined with the above results, acute mixed cell leukemia was diagnosed.The flow cytometry is the gold standard in the diagnosis of acute mixed cell leukemia. The diagnosis of acute mixed cell leukemia requires the combination of clinical manifestations, cellular morphology, immunology, cytogenetics and molecular biology, and the comprehensive diagnosis efficiency is obviously better than that of morphology.

The ability to accurately express and compute the absorption spectrum is critically important for measuring the composition and concentration of substances. In this study, we present a method that reconstructs the original spectra into new spectra with linear features based on absorption intensity to improve the analysis of spectral data. The transformation matrix and mapping relationship are calculated based on the absorption intensity of the spectral data. This allows for the reconstruction of the original spectrum with complex features into a new spectrum with linear characteristics. Furthermore, interference caused by other components and offsets can be eliminated by fitting the new spectrum with a function as the new spectrum has relatively simple features. The approach presented herein can enhance measurement accuracy and improve anti-interference capabilities. The validity and effectiveness of the new spectral reconstruction method are evaluated by measuring SO2 using ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy technology.
Flavonol synthase (FLS) is a key enzyme of the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway, which catalyzes the conversion of dihydroflavonols into flavonols. In this study, the FLS gene IbFLS1 was cloned and characterized from sweet potato. The resulting IbFLS1 protein showed a high similarity with other plant FLSs. The conserved amino acids (HxDxnH motifs) binding ferrous iron and residues (RxS motifs) binding 2-oxoglutarate were found in IbFLS1 at conserved positions, as in other FLSs, suggesting that IbFLS1 belongs to the 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases (2-ODD) superfamily. qRT-PCR analysis showed an organ-specific pattern of expression of the IbFLS1 gene, which was predominantly expressed in young leaves. The recombinant IbFLS1 protein could catalyze the conversion of dihydrokaempferol and dihydroquercetin to kaempferol and quercetin, respectively. The results of subcellular localization studies indicated that IbFLS1 was found mainly in the nucleus and cytomembrane. Furthermore, silencing the IbFLS gene in sweet potato changed the color of the leaves to purple, substantially inhibiting the expression of IbFLS1 and upregulating the expression of genes involved in the downstream pathway of anthocyanin biosynthesis (i.e., DFR, ANS, and UFGT). The total anthocyanin content in the leaves of the transgenic plants was dramatically increased, whereas the total flavonol content was significantly reduced. Thus, we conclude that IbFLS1 is involved in the flavonol biosynthetic pathway and is a potential candidate gene of color modification in sweet potato.
