Sgc8c aptamers on a stiff polymer scaffold form multivalent inhibitor targeting acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Herein, we present a rare case of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with CBFA2T3-rearrangement and the expression megakaryocytic lymphoid markers, highlighting need for high suspicion index in differential diagnosis applying adequate workup to avoid misdiagnosing this entity. CBFA2T3::GLIS2-positive AML is primarily found infants non-down syndrome megakaryoblastic (non-DSAMKL). Flow cytometry immuno...

BACKGROUND Chromosomal translocations resulting in alternative fusions of the human TEL (ETV6) and JAK2 genes have been observed in cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and chronic myelogenous leukemia, but a full understanding of their role in disease etiology has remained elusive. In this study potential differences between these alternative TEL-JAK2 fusions, including their lineage specific...

Targeted therapy has modernized the treatment of both chronic and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The introduction of monoclonal antibodies and combinational drugs has increased the survival rate of patients. Preclinical studies with various agents have resulted in positive outputs with Phase III trial drugs and monoclonal antibodies entering clinical trials. Most of the monoclonal antibodies tar...

purpose: to report an unusual ocular presentation of a relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. case report: a 9-year-old girl presented with a subconjunctival mass and ipsilateral preauricular lymphadenopathy. she had history of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all) in remission but had a normal blood cell profile. because of corneal dellen formation and enlargement of the mass over a 2-week peri...

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<...

hypercalcemia complicating malignancy is a rare complication in pediatric age group. in this article, we present a case with acute lymphoblastic leukemia presenting as severe hypercalcemia. a 10 years old girl presented with an acute onset of fever, nausea, vomiting, loss of weight, costovertebral pain and frequency. she was admitted with a presumptive diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis. her exa...

FACTORS EFFECTIVE IN THE PROGNOSIS OF NEUTROPENIC FEVER CHILDREN WITH ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA

PURPOSE Expression of the FHIT protein is lost or reduced in most solid tumors and a significant fraction of hematopoietic malignancies. Adenovirus 5 (Ad5) virus or adeno-associated viral vectors have been used to study the tumor suppressor function of FHIT in solid tumors, but these tools have not been effective in leukemias. We have generated a chimeric FHIT-containing adenovirus composed of ...
