The analysis o f cell surface antigenic determinants associated with malignant t ransformation of cells in the melanocyte lineage has been carried out in recent years (1-4) with autologous sera as well as with mAb to H L A and melanomaassociated antigens (MAA). This approach has revealed the existence of a high degree of phenotypic heterogeneity not only among tumors derived from different pati...

Purpose: the aim of this study was to describe the clinical results obtained after intra-articular injection of a leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma (PRP) preparation for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: forty-five patients (mean age: 59 years, mean BMI: 27) were included and treated with a cycle of three weekly injections of autologous conditioned plasma. Six patients were ...

refinements of this equipment. There was a direct analogy with the voltage clamp approach in nerve, but now length or force became the controlled parameter in place of voltage. This approach was applied in a quantitative study of the relation between the steady force produced by an active muscle fiber and its length: Huxley showed that force is proportional to overlap between the thick and thin...

SIR, We previously reported an autoinflammatory disease associated with nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain containing protein 2 (NOD2) gene mutations, designated as NOD2-associated autoinflammatory disease (NAID) [1, 2]. To date, none of the studies of NOD2 mutations have demonstrated spontaneous inflammation in NOD2-associated diseases [3]. Herein we report a patient with NAID to illust...
