A 17-year-old female with history of a left cheek alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) status after 14 cycles of vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide presented 2 months after the last drug cycle with bruising, thrombocytopenia, and anemia (white blood cell count 3.4 109/L, hemoglobin 7.1 g/dL, platelets 8 109/L). The peripheral blood smear demonstrated normocytic anemia with nucleated re...

hemoglobins there is usually less than 50% of the mutant hemoglobin present in peripheral blood. The synthetic rates of a-chain mutants compared to a' have not been reported to date. In this study the production of a'and at-chains has been measured in peripheral blood and bone marrow of two patients with approximately 30% hemoglobin I, an a-chain abnormality (ale lye -* 1U). The results suggest...

In this work, erythrocytes from carp were used as a nucleated cell model to test the hypothesis that the phthalocyanines (zinc--ZnPc and chloroaluminium -AlClPc) enhance ultrasonically induced damage in vitro. In order to confirm and complete our earlier investigation, the influence of ultrasound (US) and phthalocyanines (Pcs) on unresearched cellular components, was studied. Red blood cells we...

The D antigen of the Rhesus blood group, an erythroid-specific cell surface marker, is expressed by all morphologically recognizable human nucleated red blood cell precursors including, in low density, the pronormoblast. The object of the present study was to determine the expression of the D antigen by committed erythroid progenitors. Under conditions that produced complete inhibition of BFU-E...

In patients with acute abdominal pain, abdominal paracentesis and diagnostic peritoneal lavage often yield fluid samples for cytologic and biochemical evaluation. Cytology of the effusion from a patient with acute abdominal disease can be a crucial tool for the rapid diagnosis necessary for initiation of timely and appropriate therapy. Appropriate sample collection, handling, and preparation ar...
