Abstract
The biological and clinical features of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) exhibited profound heterogeneity across Chinese and patients of predominately European descent. However, the age-related peculiarities and risk assessment of Chinese CLL patients remained ill-defined. The present study demonstrated that CLL patients were characterized by the earlier age at onset in China (median age at diagnosis: 63 years old) than in the United States (median age at diagnosis: 69 years old). Young patients from Shandong Provincial Hospital CLL database displayed prolonged overall survival than the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results cohort. Furthermore, among Chinese CLL patients, young patients showed an increased relapse rate compared with elderly patients. To optimize the risk assessment of CLL patients, novel risk score models named PR-Score and HBG-Score were developed for predicting the outcomes of young and elderly CLL patients respectively. The neonatal survival prediction systems were superior to international prognostic index for CLL (CLL-IPI) and Binet stage in assessing the overall survival and progression free survival of CLL patients. The analyses highlighted refinement of risk evaluation for CLL patients in different age groups, providing insights into individualized diagnosis and treatment of CLL.

Abstract
FABACs (fatty acid-bile acid conjugates) are synthetic molecules that are designed to treat a range of lipid disorders. The compounds prevent cholesterol gallstone formation and diet-induced fatty liver, and increase reverse cholesterol transport in rodents. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of FABACs on cholesterol efflux in human cells. Aramchol (3beta-arachidylamido-7alpha,12alpha,5beta-cholan-24-oic acid) increased cholesterol efflux from human skin fibroblasts in a dose-dependent manner in the absence of known efflux mediators such as apoA-I (apolipoprotein A-I), but had little effect on phospholipid efflux. An LXR (liver X receptor) agonist strongly increased Aramchol-induced cholesterol efflux; however, in ABCA1 (ATP-binding cassette transporter A1)-deficient cells from Tangier disease patients, the Aramchol effect was absent, indicating that activity of ABCA1 was required. Aramchol did not affect ABCA1 expression, but plasma membrane levels of the transporter increased 2-fold. Aramchol is the first small molecule that induces ABCA1-dependent cholesterol efflux without affecting transcriptional control. These findings may explain the beneficial effect of the compound on atherosclerosis.
