Erythroid Burst Formation in Cultures of Bone Marrow and Peripheral Blood from Patients with Refractory Anemia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We have studied the growth of erythroid bursts in methylcellulose cultures from bone marrow (7 cases) and peripheral blood cells (17 cases) of patients with primary acquired refractory anemias. In most cases, erythroid burst-forming units (BFU-E) were either absent or present in lower than normal numbers, and these levels remained low to absent in sequential studies. In 2 patients, circulating BFU-E were initially higher than normal, but subsequently declined to normal levels. 1 patient had low-normal numbers of circulating BFU-E initially, but these declined to zero in a later study. No clinical or routine hematological features permitted distinction between patients with initially high BFU-E and those with initially low or absent BFU-E. These findings parallel those reported for granulocyte-macrophage progenitors in refractory anemias, and support the concept that erythroid progenitor cells in these disorders are influenced by the disordered hematopoiesis.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
