background: both azadirachtin and rotenone, two botanical pesticides have shown inhibit the growth of cultured insect cells. the inhibitory effect of rotenone on cell growth is through disruption of electron transport chain, but exact mechanism of effect of azadirachtin on growth of cell is unknown. this study was carried out to compare the effect of these phytochemical on oxygen consumption by...

PURPOSE Cytokine-induced modulation of innate immunity is being explored to enhance the activity of monoclonal antibodies. Severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice engrafted with peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) from Epstein Barr virus-seropositive donors develop human B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas [B-NHLs (hu-PBL-SCID mouse model)]. We used this hu-PBL-SCID mouse model to study the syner...

Retinoids have been shown to modulate cell growth and differentiation in a variety of human tumor cell types, but their effects on B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL-B) have not been explored. In this study, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) in the free form and liposome-encapsulated form (L-ATRA) were used to determine effects on fresh NHL-B patient cells as well as cell lines recently establish...

BACKGROUND AND AIM The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship of pleural adenosine deaminase (P-ADA) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). DESIGN AND METHODS We retrospectively analysed 63 NHL patients with pleural effusions who accepted a diagnostic thoracentesis and who had P-ADA available at the China Medical University Hospital (Taichung, Taiwan) between January 2003 and April 2...

Background: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AlloHSCT) is a curative option for those who have high risk relapsed/refractory lymphoma in the era of novel and cellular therapies including CAR-T cell. There paucity data evaluating long term outcomes AlloHSCT Asian patients. We performed retrospective analysis 20 years to evaluate prognostic factors patients Singapore. Methods: ...

A B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL) cell line (Karpas 1106) with an unusual three-way translocation involving 18q21.3 has been derived from a patient with mediastinal lymphoblastic B-NHL. Although conventional cytogenetics showed a derivative 18q-identical to that seen in cases with t(14;18)(q32.3;q21.3), no translocations of either chromosome 14 could be detected. Instead fluorescent in si...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Although the incidence of T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is higher in Far East Asia than in Western countries, its incidence and clinical course in Korea are not well-defined. Therefore, we assessed the relative frequency and clinical features of T-cell NHL in Korea. METHODS We performed a retrospetcive analysis of 586 patients with NHL. RESULTS 101 (17.2%) had T-cell N...

The mechanism of lymphoma genesis in hepatitis C virusrelated, B cell NHL is unknown. It has been suggested that HCV may induce B cell clonal proliferation and BCL-2 gene overexpressionin chronicHCV patients. Aim of the Work: Is to evaluate the expression of BCL2 gene in patients with NHL with HCV infection. Methods: The study included 92 patients, divided into 52 patients with B-cell NHL with ...

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) B-Cell aggressive subtype (except mantle cell) Myeloablative autologous, myeloablative allogeneic or reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic HSCT with curative intent may be considered medically necessary:  As salvage for patients not in complete remission (CR) after first line chemotherapy induction;  To achieve or consolidate a CR in chemotherapy sensitive...

Background. To better describe the clinical, biological, and the outcome of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) with, at the initial presentation, bone marrow fibrosis (MF). Patients and Methods. From January 2001 to January 2007, 16 eligible patients with NHL and MF were retrieved from the Pathology Department of the University hospital of Amiens. Median age of patients was 62 years (range 16-74) wit...
