Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) is one of the frequent malignancies in pediatrics and involves bone marrow and extramedullary sites. Proptosis as extramedullary involvement of leukemia usually present in acute and chronic myeloid leukemia. It is extremely rare for ALL to present initially as proptosis.Here, a-21-month-old boy was presented with proptosis without any associated symptoms except ...

Background: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common adult leukemia in the western world. This health problem is caused due to the accumulation of mature B-lymphocytes in the peripheral blood and bone marrow. In the course of cancer, CD4+ T cells become “exhausted” and characterized with poor effector functions and the expression of multiple inhibitory receptors. Objective: To inve...

Down syndrome [DS] is the most common chromosomal disorder in population manifested by intellectual disabilities of varying degrees, often accompanied disorders organ systems. Compared to children without DS, these have a greater risk developing malignancy such as acute leukemia. Leukemia blood cells and lymph nodes form cancer children. Its treatment with DS more complex compared this syndrome...

Targeted therapy with inhibitors of cell signaling pathways and anti-apoptotic molecules significantly improved treatment chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Inhibitors Bruton?s tyrosine kinase bcl2 protein showed significant efficacy in either treatment-na?ve or relapsed/refractory patients poor risk factors. The majority respond to have durable remissions, but some them develop resistance, which le...

Background: Acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) is a clonal disorder due to bone marrow failure and uncontrolled proliferation of myeloid lineage. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a subtype of AML. Heterocyclic compounds, such as indole, are considered as attractive candidates for cancer therapy, due to their abundance in nature and known biological activity. Sal-like protein (SALL4) is a zi...

Leukemia is a group of lethal diseases characterized by hematological neoplasm with complex and abnormalities in proliferation bone marrow stem cells, that cause sever loss functional capacity hematopoietic tissue. Four most common types leukemia are included acute lymphoblastic (ALL), myeloid (AML), chronic lymphocytic (CLL) (CML). It has been reported opium besides pain killer effects, may ha...

objective(s): mutant forms fms-like tyrosine kinase-3 (flt3), are reported in 25% of childhood acute lymphoid leukemia (all) and 30% of acute myeloid leukemia (aml) patients. in this study, drug response, growth promoting, and protein trafficking of flt3 wild-type was compared with two active mutants (internal tandem duplication (itd)) and d835y. materials and methods:flt3 was expressed on fact...

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric hematologic malignancy characterized by aberrant proliferation of immature lymphoid cells. A20 a deubiquitinase gene that inhibits functional activation immune cells mediated through nuclear factor κB (NFκB)/signal transducers and activators transcription (STAT) pathways. frequently inactivated in leukemia/lymphoma. Little known ab...


 Purpose: To determine the effect of fresh soy milk and its compounds (coumestrol, daidzein genistein) on apoptosis in human leukemic cells peripheral blood mononuclear (PBMC).
 Methods: The apoptotic (K562, Jurkat, U937) PBMC was determined by flow cytometry. from healthy donors were isolated conducting density gradient centrifugation principle. Lymphoprep cytotoxicity evaluated 3-(...
