Bone marrow and peripheral blood from a myelodysplastic syndrome patient with trisomy 13 and monoclonal B lymphocytes (without evidence of systemic lymphoma) were investigated for clonal lymphoid lineage involvement using interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and X-chromosome inactivation assay (HUMARA) on CD19+ and CD34+ sorted cells. Trisomy 13 was detected in 55% of CD34+ cells and in 5.5% of CD19+ cells, the latter being comparable to the negative control specimen. X-chromosome inactivation showed both CD34+ and CD19+ cells to be monoclonal, though their inactivated X-chromosome was different. The results strongly suggested that both populations of CD34+ and CD19+ cells have originated from a different progenitor stem cell.

Various therapeutic strategies have been developed to treat Pancreatic Cancer (PaCa). Unfortunately, most efforts have proved unfruitful, as the poor prognosis observed in this disease has only attained little improvement in the past 40 years. Recently, deeper understanding of the immune system and its interaction with malignant tumors have allowed significant advances in immunotherapy.

Lymphomas of T-follicular helper origin (T-follicular helper-cell lymphoma [TFHL]) are often accompanied by an expansion of B-immunoblasts, occasionally with Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg-like (HRS-like) cells, making the differential diagnosis with classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) difficult. We compared the morphologic, immunophenotypic, and molecular features of 15 TFHL and 12 CHL samples and discussed 4 challenging cases of uncertain diagnosis. Compared with CHL, TFHL disclosed more frequent sparing of subcortical sinuses, high-endothelium venule proliferation, dendritic cell meshwork expansion, T-cell atypia, and aberrant T-cell immunophenotype.

Noninfected and infected livers were collected from the freshly slaughtered buffalo at the Aligarh abattoir. Small pieces of both infected and noninfected livers ( = 5) were cut and processed for histologic and histochemical studies.

Background: The effectiveness of rituximab (RTX) for steroid-dependent/frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome (SDNS/FRNS) in children is well documented. However, there are insufficient data on relapse risk factors. Additionally, the retreat regimen for relapsed children requires further investigation.
