OBJECTIVE To investigate application effects of autologous blood transfusion and allogeneic blood transfusion in surgically treated patients receiving spine surgery, abdomen surgery and ectopic pregnancy surgery. METHODS 130 patients who would undergo selective operations were divided into autologous transfusion group and allogeneic transfusion group. Both groups received the same anesthesia,...

Background Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria is considered to be an autoimmune phenomenon in half of the total cases. Autologous serum skin test a simple screening for presence auto-antibodies chronic urticaria. Significant impairment quality life have been observed autologous positive There are limited literatures on spontaneous urticaria, and associated Dermatology Life Quality Index Nepal till d...

We investigated the feasibility of generating cytotoxic T cell clones against autologous human melanoma cells using a melanoma cell line (VIP) and a spontaneously transformed autologous fibroblast line (VIP-F:T). Cytotoxic lymphocytes (CL) generated against the VIP melanoma cells in one-way mixed lymphocyte-tumor cell interactions were expanded in interleukin 2 for 2 wk. The expanded CL were cl...

AIM To investigate the association of adiponectin and resistin levels in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with the clinical outcome, including the occurrence of acute and chronic graft-vs-host disease (GVHD), non-relapse mortality, and overall survival. METHODS We prospectively collected serum samples from 40 patients undergoing either autologous (n=12; 10 ma...

The autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) is severely impaired in patients with acute infectious mononucleosis. Reactivity returned during the course of convalescence. The allogeneic MLR was not impaired in these patients. B cells from patients with infectious mononucleosis do not stimulate autologous T-cell proliferation, and this observation appears to explain the cellular basis of the i...

Study of malignant melanoma has dominated much of the activity in human cancer immunology (1-9). This reflects the widespread belief that melanoma represents an immunogenic tumor in man. Although many indications exist that melanoma patients respond to their tumor by developing humoral and cellular immunity, critical evidence that these immune reactions are directed to melanoma-specific antigen...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the impact of autologous transfusion on the status of perioperative immune activation in malignant tumor patients. The Serum Neopterin and Interleukin-2 (IL-2) were measured. METHODS Sixty patients undergoing elective radical resection for malignant stomach tumor were enrolled in the prospective study and assigned to the following groups: (1) Group A received autologous ...
