Hairy-cell leukemia (HCL) is a CD20+ indolent B-cell cancer in which BRAF V600E kinase–activating mutation plays pathogenetic role. In clinical trials involving patients with refractory or relapsed HCL, the targeting of oral inhibitor vemurafenib led to response 91% patients; 35% had complete response. However, median relapse-free survival was only 9 months after treatment stopped.

conclusions despite the fact that abnormalities in p53 and p27kip1 may be involved in the development of oscc, their clinical significance in the studied population seems limited. further investigation on the combined p53/p27kip1 expression may be helpful in predicting the biologic behavior of this tumor. results p53 and p27kip1 expression were found in 28.57% (8 positive versus 20 negative) an...

background: hemophilia b is a bleeding disorder with a recessive x-linked inheritance pattern, in which the infected individuals have low levels of factor ix in their plasma. affected individuals may have bleeding episodes after trauma or spontaneously considering the plasma level of factor ix. in order to prevent these episodes and to control bleeding, they should use coagulation factor concen...

Myocardial infarction and cerebral ischemic stroke are prominent causes of death worldwide. Platelets play major roles in these diseases, although they anucleated cells, but also express the NF-?B. Pterostilbene (PTE) possesses some intriguing pharmacological properties, including capacity to inhibit platelet activation. We investigated inhibitory role PTE NF-?B-mediated signal events compared ...

In cancer tumors, growth, invasion, and formation of metastasis at a secondary site play a pivotal role, participating in diverse processes in the development of the pathology, such as degradation of extracellular matrix. Bauhinia seeds contain relatively large quantities of peptidase inhibitors, and two Bauhinia inhibitors were obtained in a recombinant form from the Bauhinia bauhinioides spec...

conclusions b. oleracea demonstrated similar anti-inflammatory properties to omeprazole in rats with gerd. however, omeprazole also demonstrated genotoxic and cytotoxic effects in rats without gerd. results rats with gerd developed esophagitis and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. b. oleracea and omeprazole-treated gerd rats presented significantly decreased inflammation in relation to non-tr...
