background: urtica dioica is one of the medicinal herbs with many uses in treating various diseases. in some studies, its antiproliferative and apoptotic effects on cancer cell lines have been shown. therefore, the evaluation of u. dioica effect was performed on kg-1 cell line for acute myelogenous leukemia (aml) for the first time in this study. materials and methods: kg-1 cell line was treate...

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia is an aggressive hematologic malignancy which is usuallyassociated with unfavorable prognosis particularly in patients with refractory/relapsed disease.Therefore, development of novel therapeutic strategies is highly required for improving theoutcome of these patients. Although there are several studies evaluating the efficacy of proteasome<...

introduction : heat shock proteins (hsps) are molecular chaperones involved in protein folding, stability and turnover, and due to their role in cancer progression, the effect of low power laser irradiation (lpli) on the expression of hsp70 and hsp90 in jurkat e6.1 t-lymphocyte leukemia (jelt) cell line was investigated in vitro. methods : jetl cells were irradiated with lpli at 635nm and 780m ...

conclusions it was demonstrated that the presence of del6q21 in b-cll patients indicates poor prognosis and on the contrary, presence of del17p13 points at the good prognostic value of the disease. results deletion of 17p13 was found in 11 (16.6%) and deletion 6q21 was present in 5 (7.5%). statistical analyses were performed to investigate the correlation of these molecular-cytogenetic findings...

post-remission treatment in patients with acute myeloid leukemia is still controversial. one potent choice for patients with no donor available is autologous stem cell transplantation. the median follow-up period was 18 months and the median age was 26 years old. in the review of 116 recently diagnosed aml patients (except aml- m3) who underwent autologous stem cell transplantation, 72.4% of pa...

Acute leukemia which is the most common cancer in children is a heterogeneous group of clonal malignancies. The conversion of the leukemic cell lineage during the course of the disease or later is termed lineage switch. It has been rarely reported in the literature. In leukemia lineage switch, conversions from lymphoblastic leukemia to myeloid leukemia or vice versa are reported. Herein, we rep...

Background:Leukemia is cancer of blood and bone marrow cells. In general, there are four types of leukemia: chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).  Fractal geometry can be introduced as one of the effective ways to detect this type of cancer. In this study, with introduc...

acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all) is the most prevalent hematological malignant tumor during childhood. unilateral infiltration into the gums is less prevalent and more often observed in the aml type. a 12-year-old girl with symptoms of pain and swelling in the buccal vestibule and also at the posterior part of the right palate of the maxilla was referred to a private dental office. the patien...
