چکیده
A 20-year-old man with a primary non-seminomatous mediastinal germ cell tumor (yolk sac tumor and immature teratoma) developed hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) three months after surgical resection. Around the same time, the patient was found to have bone metastases of the germ cell tumor. No other hereditary or acquired diseases related to HPS were found. The thrombocytopenia was refractory to corticosteroid therapy but improved after chemotherapy performed for germ cell tumor progression. Only three cases of germ cell tumor associated with reactive hemophagocytosis have been previously reported. Successful treatment of the present case by chemotherapy for HPS suggests a close relationship between this rare complication and germ cell tumor. 〔J Clin Exp Hematopathol 49(2) : 117-120, 2009〕

Uncovering a role for the tail of the Dictyostelium discoideum SadA protein in cell-substrate adhesion.
Previous work from our laboratory showed that the Dictyostelium discoideum SadA protein plays a central role in cell-substrate adhesion. SadA null cells exhibit a loss of adhesion, a disrupted actin cytoskeleton, and a cytokinesis defect. How SadA mediates these phenotypes is unknown. This work addresses the mechanism of SadA function, demonstrating an important role for the C-terminal cytoplas...
متن کاملSadA, a novel adhesion receptor in Dictyostelium
Little is known about cell-substrate adhesion and how motile and adhesive forces work together in moving cells. The ability to rapidly screen a large number of insertional mutants prompted us to perform a genetic screen in Dictyostelium to isolate adhesion-deficient mutants. The resulting substrate adhesion-deficient (sad) mutants grew in plastic dishes without attaching to the substrate. The c...
متن کاملVariations in serum alkaline DNase activity: a new means to assess early detection of relapse in patients treated for acute nonlymphoblastic leukemia.
Our previously published clinical results on various malignancies indicated that the variations in serum alkaline DNase activity (SADA) could be a sensitive test for therapeutic monitoring of human malignancies. In the present study, the clinical efficacy of SADA detecting relapse in 32 acute nonlymphoblastic leukemia (ANLL) patients in remission was tested. The observation period ranged from 3...
متن کاملSADA: A General Framework to Support Robust Causation Discovery with Theoretical Guarantee
Causation discovery without manipulation is considered a crucial problem to a variety of applications. The state-of-theart solutions are applicable only when large numbers of samples are available or the problem domain is sufficiently small. Motivated by the observations of the local sparsity properties on causal structures, we propose a general Split-and-Merge framework, named SADA, to enhance...
