Currently, there is no consensus on the use of multiparametric flow cytometry (MFC) and conventional cytology (CC) testing for initial and follow-up cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens to diagnose CNS involvement by hematologic malignancy. In our institution, after initial MFC and CC, two subsequent negative MFCs are required before discontinuing MFC. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcome of this approach. CSF cytology and MFC reports were retrieved from Laboratory Information System, and data was reviewed. Between January 2020 and December 2021, 1789 CSF samples from 280 patients were submitted for CSF analysis. For those 517 CSF samples tested by both MFC and CC, 97 cases tested positive by both MFC and CC with 95% concordance. Eighteen cases were MFC + /CC - and 7 were MFC - /CC + . Thirty-six cases had initially positive MFCs followed by more than one MFC evaluation. Among those 36 cases, 22 cases (61.1%) converted to negative after the second follow-up sample, 9 cases (25%) were continuously positive for at least three samples, and 5 cases (13.9%) exhibited negative to positive conversion. Compared to negative CSF cases, positive CSFs had higher total nucleated cell count and higher total protein levels while red blood cells, glucose, and lactate dehydrogenase levels remained at comparable levels. The concordance between MFC and CC was excellent. The high incidence of positive MFCs on two or more follow-up samples and the high frequency of negative MFC to positive conversion indicate the necessity of repeated negative MFCs before discontinuing MFC. The fact that more than half of the positive cases converted to negative after the second CSF specimen and most follow-up positive cases can be detected by CC alone suggests it is adequate to use CC alone for follow-up CSF study after two consecutive negative MFCs.</p>","PeriodicalId":638,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inclusion Phenomena and Macrocyclic Chemistry","volume":"29 1","pages":"131-140"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72470256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within such a strategy, a set of starting supramolecular arrangements is automatically obtained through the UD-APARM software, and many optimized host–guest systems are used to obtain each binding constant. In the present work, within the scope of the multi-equilibrium treatment, we carried out a theoretical study concerning the host–guest systems formed with paraoxon (PRX), methyl-parathion (MPTN), and parathion (PTN) into α-cyclodextrin (α-CD), for which experimental data were addressed. Those guests correspond to pesticides in use, and their inclusion plays a role in remediation technology. The procedure for estimating binding constants for the host–guest system is discussed in terms of the ranges for the supramolecular parameters employed in exploring the GFN2-xTB Potential Energy Surface (PES). As a result, by investigating an unprecedented number of starting systems (3,076), we identified that proper exploration of the GFN2-xTB PES gives a reliable prediction of the binding constant in solution. Furthermore, with the study of different starting associations, for PTN/α-CD, we found an excellent linear correlation (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.987) between GFN2-xTB data and experimental information, which, as in our previous study, supports the discussed methodology for application in predicting binding constants for CD-based host–guest systems.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000 <figure><div><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></div></figure>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":638,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inclusion Phenomena and Macrocyclic Chemistry","volume":"103 7-8","pages":"263 - 276"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4031679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
