Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy is a novel cell therapeutic approach that is increasingly being used to treat patients with relapsed refractory B-cell lymphoma. Despite the efficacy of CAR T cell therapy, it has various adverse effects that can affect any organ in the body. The application of immune checkpoint inhibitors such as programmed death 1 (PD-1), programmed death ligand 1 (PDL-1), and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) antibodies has previously been reported to be associated with immune-related adverse events such as thyroid dysfunction and thyroiditis...

B cell lymphoma is a group of very heterogeneous biologically complex malignancies, which originates from lymph nodes with different kinds of clinical and biologic characteristics. B cell lyphoma can occur in every part of body, and accouting for more than 80% of cell lyphomas. Natural killer (NK) is the impartant composition cell of immune system, which can fast response to the targeting cells, such as tumour cells or cells infected by virus without sensitization, NK cells play an important role in the early innate immunity...

BACKGROUND: Although virtually all coronary artery disease associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are in noncoding regions of the genome, a common polymorphism in ZC3HC1 (rs11556924), resulting in an arginine (Arg) to histidine (His) substitution in its encoded protein, NIPA (Nuclear Interacting Partner of Anaplastic Lyphoma Kinase) is linked to a protection from coronary artery disease. NIPA plays a role in cell cycle progression, but the functional consequences of this polymorphism have not been established...

Increasing numbers of extrapleural solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs), including the prostate SFT, have been reported over the last 10-years. Prostate SFT is relatively uncommon, with <20 cases reported in the literature worldwide. In the present study, a prostate SFT case, which was initially misdiagnosed as benign prostatic hyperplasia, is presented. The patient was subjected to three surgeries (cystoscopy and per urethra lithocystotomy, transurethral resection of the prostate and nerve-sparing retropubic radical prostatectomy) prior to SFT diagnosis...

The validated therapeutic effects of dihydroartemisinin (DHA) in solid tumors have encouraged us to explore its potential in treating T-cell lymphoma. We found that Jurkat cells (a T-cell lyphoma cell line) were sensitive to DHA treatment with a IC50 of dihydroartemisinin. The cytotoxic effect of DHA in Jurkat cells showed a dose- and time- dependent manner. Interestingly, the cytotoxic effect of DHA was further enhanced by holotransferrin (HTF) due to the high expression of transferrin receptors in T-cell lymphoma...

The primary cutaneous lymphomas are often indolent but difficult to treat. In the early stages psoralen and ultraviolet-A therapy is the standard treatment whereas at the tumor stage chemotherapy (e.g. pegylated doxorubicin) is often used for debulking. The purine analog 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine (2CdA) acts in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and has been used in our center for the treatment of advanced primary cutaneous T-cell lyphomas (CTCL). Here, we report on the efficacy and side effects of 2CdA in six patients with CTCL...

OBJECTIVES AND AIM: Patients affected by hematological malignancies can often benefit from high dose chemotherapy followed by peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) transplantation. Different strategies have been used to mobilize an adequate number of PBSC, including granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) alone or chemotherapy plus G-CSF. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy profile of different G-CSF agents including filgrastim (Neupogen®), biosimilar filgrastim (Leucostim®) and Lenograstim (Granocyte®) on CD34(+) mobilization in patients who underwent autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (autoHSCT)...

Elevated levels of glycated low density lipoprotein (glyLDL) are frequently detected in diabetic patients. Previous studies demonstrated that glyLDL increased the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), activated NADPH oxidase (NOX) and suppressed mitochondrial electron transport chain (mETC) enzyme activities in vascular endothelial cells (EC). The present study examined the effects of cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G), a type of anthocyanin abundant in dark-skinned berries, on glyLDL-induced ROS production, NOX activation and mETC enzyme activity in porcine aortic EC (PAEC)...

We explored the risk of lymphoma and its most prevalent subtypes associated with occupational contact with livestock, and whether risk was modified by age at first contact, in 2,348 incident lymphoma cases and 2,462 controls who participated in the EPILYMPH case-control study. A detailed occupational history was collected in cases and controls, including working in a livestock farm, species of livestock, its approximate number and circumstances of contact. For each disease outcome, and each type of livestock, odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated using unconditional logistic regression, adjusting for age, gender, education and center...

BACKGROUND: There is debate on the timing and outcome of coronary artery bypass surgery in patients with coincident malignancy. In this study, we compared the outcome of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in such patients with those without malignancy. METHODS: The patients were selected from those who had undergone coronary artery bypass surgery in the last decade. The study group (group I) included the patients with malignancy in remission. The control group comprised those patients who were selected randomly from those without any malignancy...

In extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), the gastrointestinal tract is by far the most frequent localization. One must differentiate between primary lymphoma, e.g. those arising in the gastrointestinal tract, and secondary lymphoma, which can affect the digestive tract as a disseminations of nodal lymphoma. Analysis of histomorphologic and immunhistochemical characteristics and the concept of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) have led to primary gastrointestinal lymphoma now being viewed as an independent entity...

We reviewed all cases of primary pediatric mediastinal masses diagnosed and treated over a 24-year period. In this study, out of 187 primary mediastinal mass cases diagnosed between 1980 and 2004 in Istanbul University Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, Cardiovascular Surgery Department, 37 pediatric primary mediastinal mass cases were retrospectively evaluated according to age, sex, symptoms, diagnostic procedure, anatomical location, surgical treatment, histopathological evaluation and postoperative adjuvant therapy...

BACKGROUND: To investigate the proportion, clinical characteristics and outcome of lymphocyte-rich classical Hodgkin lymphoma (LRCHL) in relation to nodular lymphocyte predominant HL (NLPHL) and classical HL (cHL). PATIENTS AND METHODS: A series of 2743 HL patients of all stages enrolled into three EORTC trials (H7, H8, H34) conducted between 1988 and 2000 and forming an unbiased series of HL patients was studied. RESULTS: Detailed histological classification after panel review was available in 96% of the cases to allow selection of all cases with features potentially compatible with the WHO-definition of LRCHL for this study...
