T lymphocyte function in laryngectomized patients

A SURVEY OF CELLULAR IMMUNITY, TOTAL T-LYMPHOCYTE, T-ACTIVE , B-LYMPHOCYTE A ND T-CELL FUNCTION IN RELATION TO PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININ (PHA) IN THALASSEMIC PATIENTS

The aim of this study was to evaluate the immune system and lymphocyte function in 41 Iranian β-thalassemic patients and 50 controls, ages ranging from 2 to 18 years. The patients consisted of 20 splenectomized and 21 non-splenectomized patients. They were treated with Desferal, and had received repeated blood transfusion. Laboratory investigations included measurement of total T lymphocyt...

T Lymphocyte Apoptosis in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients

Objective(s):  Apoptosis is a tightly regulated process and plays a crucial role in autoimmune diseases. Because abnormalities in apoptosis are considered to be involved in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), in present study we studied the apoptosis in T lymphocytes from Iranian SLE patientsat protein and gene expression levels for some molecules which are involved in apopt...

[Method for the study of pulmonary function in laryngectomized patients].

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study is to develop a instrumental method capable to achieve pulmonary air function test (spirometry) by assembling the spirometer mouthpiece to the laryngectomized patient's stoma. MATERIAL AND METHOD Our study was carried out in 33 laryngectomized patients (all male). The spirometer tests were done with a Datospir 92 by Sibelmed equipment, which consists of a dry Fl...
