Increased Natural Killer Cells Activity in Schizophrenic Patients
Background: Schizophrenia has been associated with altered immunity. Different studies regarding natural killer cell activity (NKA) in schizophrenic patients have shown inconsistent results. Objectives: To evaluate NK cell activity in schizophrenic patients in comparison with healthy control individuals. Methods: 30 medication-free schizophrenic patients and 41 healthy sex, age and smoking st...
متن کاملPrimary cutaneous blastic natural killer cell lymphoma.
Sir, Blastic natural killer-cell lymphoma, also called “agranular CD4+ CD56+ haematodermic neoplasm” is an uncommon type of tumour, which is included in the new World Health Organization (WHO) classification as a malignancy derived from natural killer (NK) cells. It is very aggressive, affecting many organs, and skin involvement is highly characteristic. Several origins have been proposed, but ...
متن کاملNatural killer cell activity in lung cancer patients.
A total of 50 lung cancer (CA) patients and 20 normal persons as controls were included in our study. We obtained lymphocytes from heparinized blood by Ficoll-Hypaque gradient method, and after the macrophages were removed, they were incubated with 51Cr-labelled K562 cells at concentrations of 100:1, 50:1, 12.5:1 for four hours. We calculated the cytotoxicity activity and lytic unit (LU) of nat...
متن کاملPrognostic biomarkers in patients with localized natural killer/T-cell lymphoma treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy
Concurrent chemoradiotherapy has become one of the standard management approaches for newly diagnosed localized nasal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL). Few data are available on the prognostic biomarkers of NKTCL among patients treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy. To evaluate the prognostic significance of immunophenotypic biomarkers for patients treated with concurrent chemora...
متن کاملNatural Killer Cell Lymphoma: A Case with Classification Dilemma.
Non-Hodgkins lymphoma of the Natural Killer (NK) cell type is rare. World Health Organisation recognises 3 NK-cell phenotypic entities; extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENK/TL); aggressive NK cell leukaemia (ANKL); and chronic lymphoproliferative disorders of NK cells (CLPD-NK) which is classified as a provisional entity. Though specific clinical, morphological and immunophenotypic cr...
