Relationship between Plasma Ferritin Level and Siderocyte Number in Splenectomized β-Thalassemia/HbE Patients
Introduction. In iron overload status, excess iron deposits in reticuloendothelial cells and tissues and can be detected using Prussian blue staining. The aim of this paper was to investigate the relationship between siderocyte numbers and plasma ferritin levels (a practically standard marker of iron overload) in the blood of the splenectomized and nonsplenectomized β-thalassemia/HbE patients, ...
متن کاملWhy are hemoglobin F levels increased in HbE/beta thalassemia?
To try to further define the mechanisms that increase the levels of hemoglobin F (HbF) in the blood of patients with severe forms of beta thalassemia, we have studied two comparable populations of hemoglobin E (HbE)/beta thalassemics, one regularly transfused and one receiving only occasional blood transfusions. Regular transfusion was associated with a significant decrease in soluble transferr...
متن کاملRole of interleukin-3 and signaling pathways on beta-thalassemia/HbE erythroid progenitor cell in culture.
In order to study the role of the cytokine interleukin-3 (IL-3) and its signaling pathways in erythropoiesis of beta-thalassemia/HbE erythroid progenitor cells, CD34 positive cells were isolated from peripheral blood of patients and healthy subjects. After culturing the cells in the presence or absence of IL-3, cell viability was measured by trypan blue staining and apoptotic cells were analyze...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of thalassemia intermedia with homozygous Hb Malay and Hb Malay/HbE in Thai patients.
Patients with thalassemia intermedia have a mild anemia and survive without needing regular blood transfusions.1 Here we report two cases of Thai patients with β-thalassemia intermedia caused by homozygosity of hemoglobin Malay (Hb Malay; α2β219Asn-Ser)2 and compound heterozygosity of Hb Malay and hemoglobin E (Hb E; α2β226Glu-Lys). Both patients presented with a history of anemia with marked m...
متن کاملMicromodification of Serodia HBe haemagglutination kit and modification of kit to test for anti-HBe.
Modification of the Serodia HBe haemagglutination kit produced by Fujirebio Incorporated, Tokyo, Japan, gave a rapid, economical, and easily performed test for hepatitis Be antigen (HBeAg). The use of this method to test serum samples for HBeAg is described. A modification of the kit to screen for anti-HBe is also described. The results obtained showed that this kit, when used by the method des...
