Mice homozygous for the gld (generalized lymphoproliferative disease) mutation develop both lymphadenopathy and autoimmune disease. CD4-CD8- (double negative, DN) T cells comprise the major population of T cells in mature C3H-gld/gld peripheral lymphoid tissues. These DN T cells are unresponsive to
OBJECTIVE
Initial presentation with only cervical lymphadenopathy and fever is one of the pitfalls in the diagnosis of Kawasaki disease (KD). As the number of such patients is small, their clinical features have remained uncertain. The purpose of the present study is to characterise the features of
The therapeutic indications in prostatic cancer depend on the regional and distant extension of the cancer and are difficult to assess before lymphadenectomy. Radioimmunodetection of lymph node involvement with monoclonal anti-prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) antibodies can be proposed as a
Cytochemical tuberculin-associated shifts along with their prognostic evaluation were studied in 30 patients with silicosis and silicotuberculosis with intrathoracic adenopathy. The study revealed that a decrease of alkaline phosphatase activity of neutrophils, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a proliferative disorder of Langerhans cell (LC)-like CD1a-positive cell (LCH cell) with unknown causes. LCH consists of two subtypes: single-system LCH (LCH-SS) with favorable prognosis and multisystem LCH (LCH-MS) with poor prognosis. LCH has been indicated
A 28-year-old man with recurrent swelling of both upper eyelids was found to have increased values in several liver function tests (GOT 162 U/l, GPT 356 U/l, gamma-GT 643 U/l, bilirubin 3.0 mg/dl, alkaline phosphatase 925 U/l). Abdominal ultrasonography demonstrated lymph node enlargements up to 3
In this study, we compared small lymphocytic lymphomas with predominant lymphadenopathy with those with predominant splenomegaly and found differences in morphology and immunophenotype as well as clinical features. Cases with lymphadenopathy were characterized by widespread disease, CLL type
Contribution of a case report of a male patient presenting with single left supraclavicular adenopathy of initially unknown origin and histologic pattern of neuroendocrine nature, finally traced to the prostate. It is believed that in any male over 45 diagnosed with carcinoma of unknown origin in
We previously demonstrated that hematopoietic cell protein-tyrosine phosphatase is one of the molecules that can transduce Fas-mediated apoptosis signals in lymphoid cells. The present study analyzed the effect of defective Fas signaling on the T cell phenotype and apoptosis function in
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of dual time-point (DTP) PET/CT with (18)F-FDG to discriminate between malignant and benign lymphadenopathies. The relationship between DTP FDG uptake and glucose metabolism/hypoxia markers in lymphadenopathies was also
Adenocarcinoma of the prostate may occasionally present as distant metastatic disease. This tumor, if accurately identified, is amendable to effective treatment with hormonal manipulations. We have seen nine patients with prostatic cancer presenting as metastatic adenocarcinoma of undetermined
Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) expressing both surface monocytoid antigen and IgM (kappa) was reported. A 62-year-old male was admitted to our hospital in September 21, 1989 because of leukocytosis. Physical examinations showed axillary and inguinal lymphadenopathy but no hepato-splenomegaly. The
We used a panel of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to analyze frozen and paraffin-embedded lymph node biopsy specimens from 25 intravenous drug abusers (IVDA) with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related lymphadenopathy histologically characterized by follicular hyperplasia. Our aim
BACKGROUND
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in American men, yet treatment of its metastatic androgen-independent form remains inadequate. This mandates development of new therapies such as immunotherapy. In this Phase 2 trial, we determined the efficacy of antigen
The T cell protein tyrosine phosphatase (TC-PTP) is one of the most abundant mammalian tyrosine phosphatases in hematopoietic cells; however, its role in hematopoietic cell function remains unknown. In this report, we investigated the physiological function(s) of TC-PTP by generating
