The primary photodissociation dynamics of allyl chloride upon excitation at 193 nm is investigated in a crossed laser-molecular beam scattering apparatus. Tunable vacuum ultraviolet ~VUV! photoionization of the products provides a unique ability to learn about the secondary reaction products of the nascent photoproducts formed. The data show evidence for four significant primary reaction channe...

Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is marked by near 100% mutational frequency of BRAFV600E mutations. Recurrent cooperating genetic events that may contribute to HCL pathogenesis or affect the clinical course of HCL are currently not described. Therefore, we performed whole exome sequencing to explore the mutational landscape of purine analog refractory HCL. In addition to the disease-defining BRAFV600...

Hairy cell leukemia variant (HCL-v) is a rare form of a chronic B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder. Unlike typical hairy cell leukemia (HCL) where the complete response (CR) rate to 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine and 2'-deoxycoformycin can approach about 90%, in HCL-v CR is rare and partial response (PR) occurs in approximately 50% with these agents. Rituximab treatment in relapsed or refractory HCL r...

In this study, the preparation and in vitro characterisation of metformin HCl-loaded CS-PLGA nanoparticles (NPs) were aimed. The prepared nanoparticles (blank nanoparticles (C-1), 50 mg of metformin HCl loaded nanoparticles (C-2) and 75 mg of metformin HCl loaded nanoparticles (C-3) ranged in size from 506.67±13.61 to 516.33±16.85 nm and had surface charges of 22.57±1.21 to 32.37±0.57 mV. Low e...

This study was performed to clarify the effects of lidiocaine Hcl, ketamine Hcl and their combination injected into the sacrococcygeal space for posterior epidural analgesia in buffaloes. Five adult buffaloes were randomly received 3 treatments with 2 week interval. The treatments were 7.5 ml of lidiocaine Hcl 2% (Group I), 7.5 ml of ketamine Hcl 2% (Group II) and 7.5 ml combination of lidiocai...

Dear Editor, Differentiation of classic hairy cell leukemia (HCL-c) from HCLvariant (HCL-v) or splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) is important owing to their different treatment strategies and prognostic implications. Recently, testing for BRAF V600E mutations was suggested as an important diagnostic option for HCL-considering that it was exclusively detected in almost all cases [1]. The BRA...

A functional B-cell receptor (BCR) is critical for survival of normal B-cells, but whether it plays a comparable role in B-cell malignancy is as yet not fully delineated. Typical Hairy Cell Leukemia (HCL) is a rare B-cell tumor, and unique in expressing multiple surface immunoglobulin (sIg) isotypes on individual tumor cells (mult-HCL), to raise questions as to their functional relevance. Typic...
