Host-directed therapies for tuberculous pericarditis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2015
TB Pericarditis is associated with significant inflammatory and immune responses which can paradoxically cause injury to the pericardium and myocardium. Management with anti-TB therapy alone does not prevent complications or reduce mortality.

Efficient lysis of rhabdomyosarcoma cells by cytokine-induced killer cells : implications for adoptive immunotherapy after allogeneic stem cell transplantation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background: Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in childhood and has a poor prognosis. Here we assessed the capability of ex vivo expanded cytokine-induced killer cells to lyse both alveolar and embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines ...

Heme oxygenase-1: Equally important in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and organ transplantation? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The intracellular enzyme heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is responsible for the degradation of cell-free (cf) heme. Cfheme, released upon cell damage and cell death from hemoglobin, mitochondria and myoglobin, functions as a powerful damage-associated molecular ...

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in Tunisia [PDF]

open access: yesBone Marrow Transplantation, 2008
In 1998, the Tunisian team of the 'Centre National de Greffe de Moelle Osseuse' initiated allogeneic hematopoietic SCT (AHSCT) in Tunisia. As of June 2007, information was collected about 299 patients with a first AHSCT and 12 additional retransplants. The median age was 19 years (range 2-49 years). The main indications were aplastic anemia (n=106, 36%)

Adoptive Immunotherapy in Chimeras with Donor Lymphocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation has a well-defined indication in the treatment of hematological malignancies. The beneficial immune effect of allogeneic marrow transplantation has long been known, but only recently have methods been developed to ...

Risk factors for relapse after allogeneic transplantation in acute myeloid leukemia

open access: yesHaematologica, 2016
Acute myeloid leukemia is a clonal neoplasm derived from myeloid progenitor cells with a varying outcome. The initial goal of treatment is the achievement of complete remission, defined for over 40 years by morphology.

Alemtuzumab in allogeneic hematopoetic stem cell transplantation [PDF]

open access: yesExpert Opinion on Biological Therapy, 2011
With the use of reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC), early toxicity of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) has been much reduced. Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) causes morbidities and mortality. Alemtuzumab is a mAb directed against CD52. When administered prior to transplant, it leads to T-cell depletion.

Adoptive transfer of cytomegalovirus-specific CTL to stem cell transplant patients after selection by HLA–peptide tetramers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Stem cell transplantation is used widely in the management of a range of diseases of the hemopoietic system. Patients are immunosuppressed profoundly in the early posttransplant period, and reactivation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains a significant ...

Impact of different post-remission strategies on quality of life in patients with acute myeloid leukemia

open access: yesHaematologica, 2008
Background The impact on quality of life of allogeneic stem cell transplantation or conventional chemotherapy in patients with acute myeloid leukemia remains unclear, mainly because of a lack of studies with long-term follow-up. The German AML-Intergroup,

Risks and benefits of sex-mismatched hematopoietic cell transplantation differ according to conditioning strategy

open access: yesHaematologica, 2015
Sex-mismatched hematopoietic cell transplantation is linked to increased graft-versus-host disease and mortality in myeloablative conditioning. Here we evaluated outcomes of 1,041 adult transplant recipients at two centers between 2006 and 2013 and ...
