introduction: lymphomas as a group rank seventh as the most leading cause of death in cancers. stomach is the most common extra nodal site of primary lymphomas. on the other hand, new information demonstrates that malt lymphoma responds to helicobacter antibiotic therapy. we therefore decided to determine the frequency of distribution of helicobacter pylori infection in primary gastric lymphoma...

marginal zone lymphoma (mzl) accounts for between 5% and 17% of all non-hodgkin lymphomas (nhl). w e reported a rare case of marginal zone lymphoma presenting with bilateral ear erythema and swelling. the case was a 79-year-old man who suffered from progressive bilateral ear erythema and swelling since 2 years ago. physical examination was remarkable for erythmatous, edematous and non-tender au...

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is usually associated with a chronic inflammatory disease or autoimmune disorders from which lymphoid tissue of MALT type arises as a prerequisite for lymphoma proliferation. Primary hematopoietic neoplasms of the larynx are rare. MALT lymphomas of the larynx are believed to arise from preexisting or acquired lymphoid tissue of the upper airway ...

in this project, the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of malt obtained from barley, (var. sahra), wheat (var tajan) and triticale, and their admixtured malts were investigated in a completely randomized design with eight treatments to determine the optimal treatment using diastatic power, hot water extract and production of suitable raw materials for the malt beverage and bakery ind...

BACKGROUND Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), also called mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma accounts for 7-8 % of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) and most commonly involves the stomach. However, muscle involvement is very rare. CASE DESCRIPTION A 57-year-old woman was referred to our orthopaedics and traumatology clinic with a painful lump in the left arm. Physical examinat...

Gastric B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) develops in the chronically inflamed mucosa of patients infected with the bacterial pathogen Helicobacter pylori. Here we use patient material, primary gastric lymphoma cell cultures, and a preclinical model of the disease to examine the role of microRNA (miRNA)-mediated posttranscriptional regulation--focusing in part...

BACKGROUND/AIM Sjögren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune systemic disease characterized by polyglandular tissue destruction, leading to keratoconjunctivitis sicca and xerostomia. These patients have 44-fold increased risk of developing salivary gland lymphoma, of which 80% are marginal zone (MALT) type. Having in mind that criteria for distinguishing benign lymphoepithelial lesions from MALT l...

BACKGROUND Gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is associated with Helicobacter pylori infection and H. pylori eradication is used as its first-line therapy. However, controversies exist about the prognostic value of H. pylori infection in these patients. We evaluated the prognostic impact of H. pylori infection and eradication therapy in gastric MALT lymphoma. METHODS A ...

Hermetic storage is used to protect grain against insect pests, but its utility is not limited to whole grains. We evaluated hermetically-sealed, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles for preserving wheat and maize flour against red flour beetle (RFB, Tribolium castaneum, Herbst) population growth. Flours infested with RFB and kept in sealed PET bottles experienced much less weight loss over...

Long-term efficacy of the protein-enriched flour of pea (Pisum sativum L. var. Bonneville) in its toxicity, progeny reduction and organoleptic properties was evaluated by combining it with wheat flour and testing the admixture against the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst). The toxicity and progeny-reducing effects of the wheat flour treated with protein-enriched pea flour were stab...
