Monocytoid B-cell lymphoma (MBCL) is a newly recognized B-cell neoplasm of uncertain histogenesis. The cytologic features of the neoplastic monocytoid B lymphocytes are virtually identical to those of hairy cell leukemia (HCL). As with HCL, progression of MBCL to a higher histologic grade is very unusual. However, whereas circulating leukemic cells are a characteristic feature of HCL, periphera...

OBJECTIVE (R)-2-methoxyethyl1-(1-phenylethyl)-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate hydrochloride (ET-26 HCl) is a novel etomidate analogue. The purpose of this study was to characterize whether ET-26 HCl could retain the superior myocardial performance of etomidate in vivo and in vitro. METHODS In vivo, the influence of ET-26 HCl and etomidate on the cardiac function of dogs was confirmed using echocar...

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is a tumor angiogenic transcription factor composed of an α and β subunit. We investigated the effect of glucosamine hydrochloride (GS-HCl) on the expression of HIF-1α and HIF-1β in serum‑treated YD-8 human tongue cancer cells. While long-term (24 h) treatment with GS-HCl strongly repressed the expression of HIF-1α and HIF-1β at both the protein and mRNA level...

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and caustic (NaOH) are among the most widely used chemicals by the water industry. Direct anodic electrochemical HCl production by water electrolysis has not been successful as current commercially available electrodes are prone to chlorine formation. This study presents an innovative technology simultaneously generating HCl and NaOH from NaCl using a Mn0.84Mo0.16O2.23 o...

OBJECTIVE Self-reports such as Hypomania Checklist (HCL-32) can be used to enhance recognition of bipolar disorders, but they are often too long and only validated in clinical samples. The objectives of this study are therefore to test whether (i) the HCL-32 can be used for screening in the community and (ii) whether two previously suggested shorter versions would do as well. METHOD Data stem...

Available online 29 December 2015 The dissociative chemisorption of HCl on clean and oxidized Cu(100) surfaces has been investigated using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning tunnelingmicroscopy (STM).Whereas the dissociation of HCl at the clean surface is limited to the formation of a (√2 × √2)-R45° Cl(a)monolayer, the presence of surface oxygen removes this barrier, leading to...

BACKGROUND Patients with hairy cell leukaemia (HCL) have an increased susceptibility to intracellular pathogens, such as mycobacteria and Listeria. Although several abnormalities of T-cell populations have been described in HCL, the effector mechanism responsible for the increased susceptibility to infections is not known. METHODS Blood was collected from 11 patients with HCL and 22 age- and ...

PURPOSE Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare disorder that occasionally has visual symptoms after diagnosis. The authors present a case of HCL in which bilateral visual symptoms led to the initial diagnosis. METHODS Observational case report. RESULTS Bilateral decreased vision to 20/30 in the right eye and 20/40 in the left due to intraretinal and preretinal hemorrhages with no other systemi...

Sensitive, accurate and precise methods for the qauantitative determination of Seven drugs viz., Cyclobenzaprine HCl (CYC), Cyproheptadine HCl (CYP), Dobutamine HCl (DOB), Moxifloxacin HCl (MOX), Pamiprioxole HCl (PAM), Sumatriptan succinate (SUM) and Trimetazadine 2HCl(TRI) haave been developed . The methods are based on the charge transfer interqction of iodine with drugs which resulted in th...
