Cancer/Testis antigens (CTAs) as a group of tumor antigens are the novel subjects for developing cancer vaccine and immunotherapy approaches. They aberrantly express in tumors with highest normal expression in testis, and limited or no expression in normal tissues. There are important similarities between the processes of germ-cell and cancer cell development Spermatogenesis begins at puberty w...

متن کاملRituximab therapy for thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura: a proposed study of the Transfusion Medicine/Hemostasis Clinical Trials Network with a systematic review of rituximab therapy for immune-mediated disorders.
The rationale for immunosuppressive therapy of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) was established by observations that TTP may be caused by autoantibodies to ADAMTS13. Patients with high-titer autoantibodies to ADAMTS13 may have a higher mortality, and survivors may require prolonged plasma exchange therapy in spite of adjunctive glucocorticoid treatment. More intensive immunosuppressive...
متن کاملHomocysteine and cardiovascular risk: considering the evidence in the context of study design, folate fortification, and statistical power.
The hypothesis that moderately increased plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) concentrations are causally related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) originated from observations of vascular disease in patients with homocystinuria (1 ). tHcy concentrations are 10-fold higher in patients with untreated homocystinuria than in the general population, and these patients often suffer from CVD in early life....
متن کاملCLINICAL TRIALS AND OBSERVATIONS Cardiovascular risk factors in hematopoietic cell transplantation survivors: role in development of subsequent cardiovascular disease
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients may be at an increased risk of developing hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia (referred to as cardiovascular risk factors [CVRFs]); and these factors can potentially increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We examined the incidence and predictors of CVRFs and subsequent CVD in 1885 consecutive 1 year survivors of HCT performed ...
