[Comparative analysis of collecting mononuclear cells from peripheral blood by using Fenwal CS-3000 plus, haemonetics MCS plus and COBE spectra separators].

This study was aimed to compare the collection efficiency of mononuclear cells (MNC) from peripheral blood as well as the changes of blood-related indices in patient by using 3 cell separators. MNC were collected from 94 tumor patients by using Fenwal CS-3000plus, Haemonetics MCSplus and COBE spectra separators. Routine blood test was performed before and after MNC collection to detect the potential effects of cell separators on blood-related indices in the patients.

E-selectin S128R polymorphism is associated with cancer risk: a meta-analysis.

Background: Genetic factors have been shown to play an important role in the development of cancers. However, individual studies may fail to completely demonstrate complicated genetic relationships because of small sample size. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the association of E-selectin Ser128Arg (S128R) with cancer risk.

[Effect of various oxygen concentrations on biological function of human bone marrow hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells].

Hypoxia in bone marrow is suitable for the perfect preservation of biological functions of bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells (BM HSC). It is deserved to study whether the biological functions of BM HSC are influenced when being exposed to environment of oxygen at various concentration during amplification of BM HSCs in normal oxygen condition in vitro and process of peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). This study was purposed to investigate the effects of various oxygen concentrations on biological functions of human BM HSCs.
