How abciximab might be clinically useful.

Platelet aggregation is a crucial feature in coronary artery thrombus formation and is a major causative factor in both acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and reocclusion after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). The glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa (αIIbβ3) integrin receptor is the pivotal mediator of platelet aggregation. In late 1990s, the introduction of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors (GPI) was associated with a reduction of ischemic complication, and a clear clinical benefit in PCI during ACS, for both non ST-elevation (NSTE) and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

The correlation between T regulatory cells and autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in multiple myeloma.

Objective: Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by malignant proliferation of plasmocytes and their precursors. T regulatory cells (Tregs) have a role in immunosuppression and control of autoimmunity, and are currently an important topic in the study of immune response to tumor cells. The correlation between Tregs and autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (APBSCT) in MM has not been studied.
