introduction: laser phototherapy is used for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in patients with leukemia, although there are limited data supporting the safety of this method. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of different doses of low-level laser on proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia (aml) cell line (kg-1a) in vitro. methods: a plastic flask containing 5,000,000 k...

conclusions in iran, hsct has been successfully adapted in routine clinical care. recently, new methods such as double cord blood and haploidentical transplantation have been used to treat many life-threatening diseases. results about 78.2% of the patients (2530 of 3237) remained alive between one to 211 months after stem cell transplantation. nearly, 21.8% (707) of our patients died after stem...

introduction: monitoring the engraftment of donor cell after allogeneic blood stem cell transplantation is important for the early diagnosis of graft failure or relapse of disease. so analysis of donor chimerism has become a routine method for documentation of engraftment after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. in humans, the amelogenin gene is present on both the x and the y chromosomes. h...

patients with lymphoproliferative disorders have cellular immune deficiency and are susceptible to typical and atypical mycobacterial infections.hairy cell leukemia is a b-cell type lymphoproliferative disorder.2-cda is the choice of treatment for patients with hairy cell leukemia. it is a synthetic antineoplastic agent with immunosuppressive effects.we present development of pulmonary and meni...

Note Loss of the Y chromosome from individual metaphases is common in metaphase cells from both PHAstimulated lymphocytes and spontaneously dividing bone marrow cells. The frequency of Y loss is greater in older men, and the size of the 45,X,-Y cell population probably increases gradually with advancing age. (In females, a corollary loss of one X chromosome also occurs with advancing age.) This...

Literature review shows that hepatitis C infection may increase the risk of non-hodgkin lymphoma. Reactivation of hepatitis B infection has been reported in patients with hairy cell leukemia after chemotherapy and/or splenectomy. We present hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigenemia and concurrent hepatitis C virus (HCV) seropositivity in a case of hairy cell leukemia. Key Words: Hairy cell leukemi...

t cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all) is an invasive disease with a higher incidence in children and adolescents. in terms of immunophenotype, t-all is positive for cd2, cd7, cd34 and hla-dr, and the level of these markers is increased with increasing age. in addition, the myeloid markers (cd13, cd33) are sometimes expressed in t-all. in this study, we introduce a rare case of a 28-year-old...

background: mature t/ nk-cell neoplasms are a rare group of disorders and their presentation as leukemia is even rarer. most of the previous studies have focused on mature b-cell lineage leukemias and there is a paucity of data on mature t/nk-cell lineage leukemias. we, therefore, planned this study to analyze their spectrum, frequency, morphology and immunophenotypic features. methods: all cas...
