Reproductive issues in sickle cell diseaseBlood - Tập 124 - Trang 3538-3543 - 2014
Kim Smith-Whitley
Abstract As medical advances improve survival, reduce disease-related morbidity,
and improve quality of life, reproductive issues will take higher priority in
the sickle cell disease (SCD) community. A wide variety of topics are addressed
in this chapter, including fertility, gonadal failure, erectile dysfunction, and
menstrual issues in SCD. Etiologies of impaired male fertility are
multifactoria... hiện toàn bộ
An Empirical Classification of Chronic Pain Subgroups in Pediatric Sickle Cell Disease: A Cluster-Analytic ApproachBlood - Tập 138 - Trang 491 - 2021
Soumitri Sil, Alison Manikowski, Mallory Schneider, Lindsey L Cohen, Carlton D. Dampier
Abstract Introduction: Youth with sickle cell disease (SCD) and chronic pain are
a heterogeneous group with variability in their daily pain experience and
physical and psychosocial functioning. We aimed to 1) empirically derive chronic
pain subgroups based on sensory pain characteristics using cluster analysis
within a sample of youth with chronic SCD pain, and 2) investigate derived
subgroups for... hiện toàn bộ
Impaired natural and CD16-mediated NK cell cytotoxicity in patients with WAS and XLT: ability of IL-2 to correct NK cell functional defectBlood - Tập 104 - Trang 436-443 - 2004

AbstractIn this study we show that Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASp), a
critical regulator of actin cytoskeleton that belongs to the Scar/WAVE family,
plays a crucial role in the control of natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity.
Analysis of NK cell numbers and cytotoxic activity in patients carrying
different mutations in the WASP coding gene indicated that although the
percentage of NK cell... hiện toàn bộ
Efficient Binding, but Moderate Modulation, of Human Dendritic Cell Functions by Milatuzumab, a Humanized Anti-CD74 Monoclonal AntibodyBlood - Tập 112 - Trang 2649 - 2008
Xiaochuan Chen, Chien-Hsing Chang, David Goldenberg
Abstract Milatuzumab (hLL1, Immunomedics, Inc.), a humanized anti-CD74
immunoglobulin-G monoclonal antibody (MAb), has been shown to have therapeutic
activity against CD74-expressing B-cell malignancies in vitro and in xenografts
models, and is in clinical evaluation as a therapeutic MAb for non-Hodgkin
lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and multiple myeloma. Since it is
unclear whether this ... hiện toàn bộ
Hand-mirror lymphocytes in infectious mononucleosisBlood - Tập 55 - Trang 925-930 - 1980
William J. Thomas, Kazue Yasaka, DM Strong, CM Woodruff, Sanford A. Stass, Harold R. Schumacher
Abstract The identification of a morphologically unique lymphocyte in the
peripheral blood of patients with infectious mononucleosis (IM) led to
additional studies. Examination of Wright-stained smears of EDTA anticoagulated
blood obtained from 25 patients with IM at presentation revealed significantly
increased (p less than 0.0001) percentages of hand-mirror lymphocytes (HML)
(mean 9.2%) compared... hiện toàn bộ
Regulation of release of hepatocyte growth factor from human promyelocytic leukemia cells, HL-60, by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, 12-O- tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate, and dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphateBlood - Tập 82 - Trang 53-59 - 1993

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) secreted from human promyelocytic leukemia cell
line, HL-60, is indistinguishable from HGF in human plasma and its release is
significantly stimulated by 12-O- tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), a
differentiation-inducer of HL- 60 cells into monocytes/macrophages (Nishino T et
al: Biochem Biophys Res Commun 181:323, 1991). TPA stimulated HGF release from
the cell... hiện toàn bộ
Combination Of Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase Inhibitor and Cytotoxic Agents Is a Novel Therapeutic Option For Non-Hodgkin LymphomaBlood - Tập 122 - Trang 4408 - 2013

Background Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in
the catabolism of tryptophan along the kynurenine pathway. In tumors, increased
IDO activity inhibits T cell and natural killer cell proliferation and induces
apoptosis. We have previously reported that IDO expression in lymphoma cells and
serum concentration of kynurenine in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma are useful
