Plasma cell leukemia (PCL) is a rare plasma cell disorder. It is the leukemic variant of multiple myeloma. A 52-year-old man with an atypical presentation of primary plasma cell leukemia is reported. The patient presented with paraparesis which progressively worsened to paraplegia. MRI of the spine showed an extradural mass causing cord compression and multiple bony erosions from soft tissue masses. Peripheral blood film examination and bone marrow aspiration showed numerous plasmablasts. Atypical cells expressed surface and cytoplasmic lambda light chain on immunochemical studies, surface CD45 and CD38. To our knowledge, primary PCL presenting with progressive paraplegia has not been reported in the literature.
In the process of tumor treatment, systemic drug administration is hindered by biological barriers, leading to the retention of a large number of drug molecules in healthy tissues and causing unavoidable side effects. The precise deployment of drugs at the tumor site is expected to alleviate this phenomenon. Here, we take endostatin and Her2 (+) tumors as examples and develop an intelligent drug with simple "wisdom" by endowing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with an intelligent response program (iMSCEndostatin). It can autonomously perceive and distinguish tumor cells from non-tumor cells, establishing a logical connection between tumor signals and drug release. Enable it to selectively deploy drugs at the tumor site, thereby locking the toxicity of drugs at the tumor site. Unlike traditional aggressive targeting strategies that aim to increase drug concentration at the lesion, intelligent drugs are more inclined to be defensive strategies that prevent the presence of drugs in healthy tissues.
