Background & Objectives: Chronicity of lupus nephritis (LN) should be considered for interaction of cell mediated immunity (CMI) and dendritic cells in glomeruli and tubulointerstitial areas. In this study establishment of immunohistopathological changes of dendritic cells and other immune effector cells in lupus nephritis comparing with non-lupus nephritis was performed. Materials & Methods: ...

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: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is blood and bone marrow malignancy. Low-density oxidative lipoprotein (oxLDL) is a pro-inflammatory factor that has free radicals in its structure. OxLDL levels are also rising in diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers. Studies have shown that oxLDL and dyslipidemia are more common in patients with various cancers. This stud...

follicular dendritic cells or dendritic reticulum cells are important components of the immune system essential for antigen presentation. malignancies arising from these cells are uncommon and the first case was reported in 1986. the most common sites of follicular dendritic cell sarcomas are lymph nodes, especially cervical, axillary and mediastinal regions, but extranodal sites including head...

introduction: this paper used generalized gamma (gg) distribution to find the predictive factors of overall survival (os) after haematopoietic stem cell transplant (hsct) in acute myeloid  leukemia patients. methods: discrimination among the exponential, weibull, gg, log-logistic, and lognormal distributions was done using maximum likelihood and akaike information criteria. results: the 5-year ...

background: the human aml1 gene, located on chromosome 21, can be fused to the aml1- eight-twenty-one (eto) oncoprotein on chromosome eight, resulting in a t(8;21)(q22;q22) translocation. acute myeloid leukemia (aml) associated with this translocation is considered a distinct aml with a favorable prognosis. due to the various incidences of the translocation, which is associated with geographic ...

acute myeloid leukemia (aml-m7) is a type of pediatric aml accounting for 3–10% of primary childhood aml and children may present with a broad variety of symptoms including low-grade fever, diarrhea, easy bruising, failure to gain weight and life-threatening conditions. we report a rare case of aml .a 26-month-old boy who presented with weakness and fatigue. he was diagnosed as a case of amlm-7...

background: acute myeloid leukemia (aml) is known as one of the most common leukemia among adults. environmental and different genetic factors affect disease process, prognosis and treatment. among different genetic factors npm1, flt3, mll and baalc genes are the most effective on patient's survival rate. the aim of this study was to assess amount of baalc gene expression in aml patients, and i...

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...
