BACKGROUND Immunophenotyping, as suggested by WHO, may improve diagnosis of childhood leukemia since it offers a better classification of the hematopoietic lineage of malignant cells as compared to morphology. Therefore, we aimed to determine the proportion of the immunophenotypic subtypes of acute leukemia in Indonesian children. METHODS Samples were obtained from patients (0-14 years of age...

Abstract Background Metastatic involvement of the breast is relatively rare and has an incidence 0.5–3%. Lesions that metastasize to may produce changes look similar those primary cancer on mammography, but they are more likely be multiple frequently bilateral. Case presentation A 38-year-old female complaining progressive proptosis with bilateral palpable lumps. She was referred imaging unit e...

multi drug resistance(mdr) is a major problem in the treatment of cancer and hemalological malignancies. this resistance is multi factorial and is the result of decreased intra cellular drug accumulation. this is partly due to the presence of a 170kd intra membranous protein termed p-glycoprotein(p-gp) that is an energy-dependent efflux pump which has increased expression on drug-resistance cel...

The histiocytoses are a group of proliferative disorders of themonocyte-macrophage lineage that are neoplastic or reactive innature. Based on immunophenotyping and electron microscopy,two main groups have been recognized namely 1) Langerhanscell histiocytosis (LCH) and 2) non- Langerhans cell histiocytosis(non-LCH). In this study, a fairly rare disease of the non-LCHgroup, generalized eruptive ...

Objective: To study whether the generated CD1a positive cells belong to the leukemic cells among patients with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia. Materials and Methods: We used mononuclear cells from 3 patients with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, from which two had monosomy 7. The mononuclear cells from these patients were cultured in RPMI/10%FCS without adding exogeneous growth factors fo...

Rapid, quantitative detection of cell-secreted biomarker proteins with a low sample volume holds great promise to advance cellular immunophenotyping techniques for personalized diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. Here we achieved such an assay with the THP-1 human acute moncytic leukemia cell line (a model for human monocyte) using a highly integrated microfluidic platform incorpora...

INTRODUCTION Surgical biopsy examination is the gold standard for lymphoma diagnostics. However, fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) offers several advantages in that it is quick, inexpensive, and the aspiration procedure has very few complications. This prospective study compares the diagnostic outcome between FNAC and surgical biopsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 103 patients (>15 ye...

The objective of this study was to establish mean CD4+ T cell values among healthy Javanese adults in Indonesia. Two hundred forty-one healthy adults (119 women and 122 men), aged 18-65 years, were enrolled in the study. CD4+ T cells were analyzed by immunophenotyping. The mean absolute CD4+ T cell count was 753.3 ± 270.3 cells/µl (median = 725.0 cells/µl) and the mean CD4+ T cell percentage wa...
