The time of initiating stem cell collection is very important for successful transplantation and determined according to peripheral blood CD34+ count analysed by flow cytometry. In this study, we aimed find the role new complete parameters determine optimal collection. Eighty-six patients who underwent mobilization were included in study. Peripheral cells on same day. Patients with CD 34+ count...

two cases of erythremic myelosis and one case of erythroleukemia in iran erythremic myelosis or di-guglielmo disease is characterized by generalized and systemic proliferation. selectively affecting erythropoietic apparatus and according to the course; there ure acute and chronic forms. thus the condition has much in common with leukemia but depends on a proliferation of erythrocytic series ins...

Erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activities were measured in 45 subjects, 15 each of beta 0-thalassaemia/haemoglobin (Hb) E disease, Hb H disease, and normal. The erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activities were significantly higher in the patients with beta 0-thalassaemia/Hb E and Hb H diseases than in the normal subjects. The increase of erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activities is most lik...

A 17-year-old female with history of a left cheek alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) status after 14 cycles of vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide presented 2 months after the last drug cycle with bruising, thrombocytopenia, and anemia (white blood cell count 3.4 109/L, hemoglobin 7.1 g/dL, platelets 8 109/L). The peripheral blood smear demonstrated normocytic anemia with nucleated re...

Using an easy and safe procedure for fetal blood sampling in utero, we studied 3,415 fetuses for prenatal diagnosis. Retrospectively, 2,860 normal blood samples, performed from the 18th week of gestation to the end of pregnancy, were selected. Differentials were evaluated in 732 cases. Burst-forming unit erythroid (BFU-E) and erythropoietin (Epo) were measured in 27 and 163 cases, respectively....

OBJECTIVE Nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) have been identified in maternal circulation and potentially provide a resource for the monitoring and diagnosis of maternal, fetal, and neonatal health and disease. Past strategies used to isolate and enrich for NRBCs are limited to complex approaches that result in low recovery and less than optimal cell purity. Here we report the development of a h...

Intense research has been carried out into methods that aim at harvesting fetal cells from maternal blood as substitutes to amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling. Although much has been accomplished using well established techniques, a rapid and inexpensive method to separate fetal cells with great accuracy and efficiency to maximize cell yield is still required. This work focuses on the ...
