Total number of 252 cycles of GM-CSF-Leucomax Sandoz (5 mg/kg/day s.c.) and/or G-CSF Filgrastim Hoffmann-La Roche (5-10 mg/kg/day s.c.) was applied in 124 children aged from 0.5-20 years during neutropenia associated with chemotherapy of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Twenty four children with NHL treated according to the same chemotherapy protocol but without G-CSF and GM-CSF served as a control group. Our study have demonstrated the good efficacy of both G-CSF and GM-CSF therapy. They shortened the period of neutropenia, reduced the number of febrile days, infection's duration and decreased the frequency of infectious complications.

Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and its ligand PD-L1 have been detected at the materno-embryonic interface in both human and murine pregnancy models. However, research regarding the PD-1/PD-L1 signal in preeclampsia (PE) is limited. In the present investigation, 30 normal pregnant females and 30 PE patients were enrolled.

CSF1R-related leukoencephalopathy (CSF1R-L) and AARS2-related leukoencephalopathy (AARS2-L) were two disease entities sharing similar phenotype and even pathological changes. Although clinically, radiologically, and pathologically similar, they were caused by mutation of two different genes. As the rarity of the two diseases, the differential diagnosis of them was difficult.

Chlamydia muridarum (Cm) has reemerged as a moderately prevalent infectious agent in research mouse colonies. Despite its experimental use, few studies evaluate Cm's effects on immunocompetent mice following its natural route of infection. A Cm field isolate was administered (orogastric gavage) to 8-wk-old female BALB/cJ (C) mice.
