Transformation of an Unclassified Myeloproliferative Neoplasm with a Rare BCR-JAK2 Fusion Transcript Resulting from the Translocation (9;22)(p24;q11) by A. N. Chamseddine, P. Etancelin, D. Penther, F. Parmentier, C. Kuadjovi, V. Camus, N. Contentin, P. Lenain, C. Bastard, H. Tilly, F. Jardin

“…Here, we report an unclassified case of MPN (MPN-U) showing a t(9;22)(p24;q11), which generates a BCR-JAK2 fusion gene by fusing the BCR at intron 13 to JAK2 at intron 17 on the derivative chromosome 22. Most reported JAK2 fusions cases reveal an aggressive clinical course and long-term remissions have only been achieved after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ASCT). …”

Redox Mediators for Li₂CO₃ Decomposition by Zixuan Liu, Haoshen Huang, Zhengfei Chen, Haiyong He, Deyu Wang, Zhoupeng Li

“…Among various approaches to addressing the Li₂CO₃ issue, developing Li₂CO₃-decomposing redox mediators (RMs) is one of the most convenient and versatile, because they can be electrochemically oxidized at the gas cathode surface, then they diffuse to the solid-state products and chemically oxidize them, recovering the RMs to a pristine state and avoiding solid-state catalysts’ contact instability with Li₂CO₃. …”
