Methods We performed a screening study for nasopharyngeal carriage of Staphylococcus spp. in immunocompetent children aged 7-10 years old, attending a community school in central Bucharest (group 1), and in two groups of immunosuppressed children: children with hemato-oncologic diseases (lymphoma/leukemia) admitted to the Fundeni Clinical Institute, Bucharest (ages 2-10 years, group 2), and ins...

The mouse Flk1 gene is expressed in various mesodermal progenitor cells of developing embryos. Recent studies have shown that Flk1 expression marks multipotent mesodermal progenitors, giving rise to various hemato-cardiovascular cell lineages during development. Flk1 expression also marks hemato-cardiovascular cell lineages in differentiating embryonic stem (ES) cells, which may be used in tran...

AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the neutrophils level in saliva as an adequate alternative to other methods for evaluating the neutrophil engraftment after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in hemato-oncology. METHOD A total of 35 patients treated for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or multiple myeloma were stomatologically examined before planned high-dose chemotherapy with ASC...

Hematopoiesis is a key process that leads to the formation of all blood cell lineages from a specialized, multipotent cell, named the hematopoietic stem cell(HSC). During development, the embryo produces several waves of hematopoiesis that produce specialized subsets of hemato- poietic cells. Tissue interactions and cell signaling play an essential role in developmental hematopoiesis by allowin...

Current induction schemes directing hematopoietic differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are not well defined to mimic the sequential stages of hematopoietic development in vivo. Here, we report a 3-stage method to direct differentiation of hESCs toward hematopoietic progenitors in chemically defined mediums. In the first 2 stages, we efficiently generated T-positive primitive st...

This article describes the clinical findings, haemato-biochemical alterations, and conservative treatment of a buffalo suffering from caecal dilatation. The findings were anorexia, scanty faces, reduced rumen motility, distension right flank, ping sounds on auscultation percussion flank dilated caecum at pelvic brim per-rectal examination. hemato-biochemical alterations neutrophilic leukocytosi...

the study was performed to examine the efficacy of ginger (zingiber officinale) extract on growth performance, biochemical and hemato-immunological parameters in juvenile beluga (huso huso). fish were divided into 4 groups before fed diet for 8 weeks with 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% ginger extract and with unsupplemented commercial diet as the control. results showed that there was a significant differen...
