We used a PCR and sequence procedure to analyze the Ig V(H) gene and the mutations in the 5' regulatory regions of BCL-6 genes in pulmonary lymphoproliferative disorders (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, HIV-related, EBV-related, and virus-negative lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia (LIP)). Eight of 20 (40%) pulmonary MALT lymphoma and 10 of 20 LIP (5 of 5 (100%) HIV-related, ...

The origin of low-grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT)-type B-cell lymphoma is still unclear. Using a novel two-step procedure, we have sequenced the Ig VH genes expressed by cells from four patients with gastric low-grade MALT-type lymphoma. The nucleotide sequences of the complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3) of the genomic DNA were first amplified using consensus oligonucleot...

In this study, firstly, enzyme-active malt flours were obtained from different germinated grains including wheat, barley, rye, triticale, millet, maize, rice, and oat. Next, these commercial enzyme added to bread wheat flour in a level that provides the same amylolytic activity their effects on quality investigated. The germination process significantly increased but also caused significant cha...

Management practices are needed to reduce dryland soil CO(2) emissions and to increase C sequestration. We evaluated the effects of tillage and cropping sequence combinations and N fertilization on dryland crop biomass (stems + leaves) and soil surface CO(2) flux and C content (0- to 120-cm depth) in a Williams loam from May to October, 2006 to 2008, in eastern Montana. Treatments were no-tille...

PURPOSE The well-known translocations identified in MALT lymphomas include t(11;18)/API2-MALT1, t(1;14)/IGH-BCL10, and t(14;18)/IGH-MALT1. Molecular investigations have suggested that these three disparate translocations affect a common pathway, resulting in the constitutive activation of nuclear factor-kappaB. However, the vast majority of MALT lymphomas are negative for any of the above-menti...

The majority of low grade gastric lymphomas arise within acquired organized lymphoid tissue, which has all the features of MALT. This MALT is specifically acquired most commonly in response to infection of the gastric mucosa by H pylori. The lymphocytes within this MALT are therefore programmed to respond to this organism and the neoplastic cells of the lymphoma that may develop within this acq...

We conducted comprehensive gene expression profiling (GEP) of primary pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma (n = 33) and compared the results to GEP of other B- and T-cell lymphomas and normal lymphocytes to identify novel markers and deregulated pathways. MALT has a prominent T-cell signature and a marginal zone/memory B-cell profile. Four novel transcripts were specifica...

Sorghum grains of cultivars Wad Ahmed and Tabat were germinated for 1, 2 and 4 days to obtain 1-, 2and 4day-old malts. About 1% of sorghum malt was added to sorghum flour. The mixtures were incubated at 30 C with shaking for 30, 60, 90 and 120 min. Phytic acid and tannin contents and minerals o extractability (as an index for minerals bioavaliability) were assayed for all treatments. The result...

Gastric adenocarcinoma developing concomitantly with a gastric lymphoma of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type is rare. Herein, we report a case with a synchronous primary gastric MALT lymphoma and an early adenocarcinoma of the stomach. A 72-year-old patient with initial presentation of weight loss was found with endoscopy to have a large tumor mass in the gastric body. Pathologi...

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is one of the most common lymphomas and accounts for about 7% of all newly diagnosed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). The clinical course of MALT lymphoma is relatively indolent and, in the majority of cases (50%), the lymphoma arises within the stomach. Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), an uncommon variant of extranodal NHL, can aff...
