The prognosis for patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) has improved dramatically since the introduction of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and intravenous arsenic trioxide (ATO). However, ATO administration requires daily infusions over several months, representing an onerous burden for hospitals and patients. We evaluated the bioavailability of a novel encapsulated oral ATO formulation in APL patients in first complete remission during standard-of-care consolidation.

Background: Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by abnormal promyelocytes and t(15;17)(q24;q21) . Rarely, patients may have cryptic or variant rearrangements. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)/arsenic trioxide (ATO) is largely curative provided that the diagnosis is established early.

Background: Arsenic emerges as most potent hazardous element ranked as number one in ATSDR (Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry) list, can easily accumulate in fish, transported to humans via consumption and affect humans and aquatic organisms. Considering above, current experiment designed to evaluate cyto-genotoxicity and histological alterations induced by arsenic in Labeo rohita used as an animal model.
Methods: By applying complete randomized design sampling acclimatized individuals of Labeo rohita (10 batches of 10 each with triplicates) were exposed to nine definitive doses (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 and 28 mgL) of arsenic in glass aquaria to determine 96-h lethal concentration (LC) of arsenic.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is driven by the specific fusion gene PML-RARA produced by chromosomal translocation. Three classic isoforms, L, V, and S, are found in more than 95% of APL patients. However, atypical PML-RARA isoforms are usually associated with uncertain disease progression and treatment prognosis.
