Despite improvements in human leukocyte antigen matching and pharmacologic prophylaxis, acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is often a fatal complication following hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Older HSCT recipients experience significantly increased morbidity and mortality compared to young recipients. Prophylaxis with syngeneic regulatory dendritic cells (DCreg) in young bone ...

PURPOSE We assessed the combined use of Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B (SEB) superantigen pre-treatment along with allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT) to induce immune suppression condition and inhibit corneal keratoplasty rejection in mice. METHODS BALB/C (H-2d) mice were both BMT and corneal allografts donors and C57BL/6(H-2b) mice were recipients. Prior to BMT, recipients received single...

This research is motivated by the administration that has not been well organized and absence of training for BMT mustahik recipients productive zakat funds National Amil Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) Ciamis Regency. Quantitative field using a simple linear regression method uses sample 30 people. The results showed (1) Most respondents agreed utilization at BAZNAS Regency through BMT-BMT in Cijeunjing...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Although chemotherapy in childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has improved in the last decade, except for a group of better-risk patients (approximately one third), more than half the other patients relapse. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the results obtained with bone marrow transplants, either allogeneic (allo-BMT) or autologous (auto-BMT), follow...

BACKGROUND Many diseases associated with bone marrow transplantation (BMT) are caused by transplanted hematopoietic cells, and the onset of these diseases occurs after homing of donor cells in the initial phase after BMT. Noninvasive observation of donor cell homing shortly after transplantation is potentially valuable for improving therapeutic outcomes of BMT by diagnosing the early stages of ...

Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is commonly used to study the participation of bone marrow-derived cells in atherosclerosis. To determine the effect of this methodology on lesions, 16 male low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor knockout (LDLr-/-) mice were reconstituted with bone marrow from syngeneic LDLr-/- mice after 10 Gy gamma-irradiation and compared with 12 male LDLr-/- littermates tha...

introduction: the thalassamias refer to a diverse group of hemoglobin disorders characterized by a reduced synthesis of  one or more of globin chains (α,β, γ, δβ,γδβ, δ and εγδβ).the main cure available today for thalassamia is bone marrow transplantation (bmt)  from compatible donor.on december 3, 1981 a 14-month-old child with β-thalassemia major recieved bmt from his hla-identical sister in ...

introduction: bone marrow transplantation is a good therapeutic modality for beta thalassemia. liver complications are one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality following bmt. determination of the factors of liver injury leads to earlier  diagnosis after bmt and improves prognosis. method: we studied 113 major beta thalassemic patients who have been transplanted from 1990- 2000 in bone...

The existence of an immunologic antileukemia reaction associated with allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is well established. However, a similar graft-versus-tumor effect against lymphomas has not been demonstrated. We analyzed the results of BMT in 118 consecutive patients with relapsed Hodgkin's disease or aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The 38 patients less than 50 years of age ...
