Bioinformatics Analysis of Altered lncRNAs in Peripheral Blood Molecular Cells from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) Patients

Mingjun He, Xiaoli Zhu, Wei Niu, Lingming Kong, Gaofeng Yao and Li-yi Zhang

Article Type: Research Article | First Published: December 12, 2018

Based on the prior studies, altered lncRNAs in peripheral blood Molecular Cells (PBMC) from depression patients were chosen to perform informatics analysis for lncRNA target gene prediction and functional annotation. Microarray was first used to screen dys regulated lncRNAs in the PBMCs of MDD patients, of which 10 lncRNAs were selected for quantitative real-time Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) study, as well as bioinformatics analysis....

The Results of the Single Center Pilot Randomized Russian Clinical Trial of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in Severe Neutropenic Patients with Septic Shock (RUMCESS)

Gennadiy Galstyan, Polina Makarova, Elena Parovichnikova, Larisa Kuzmina, Vera Troitskaya, Eduard Gemdzhian and Valeriy Savchenko

Article Type: Original Article | First Published: October 12, 2018

To investigate the safety of the of bone marrow-derived human multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MMSCs) administration in neutropenic patients with septic shock. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MMSCs) may represent a promising cell-based therapy of sepsis. MMSCs, activated by lipopolysaccharide or tumor necrosis factor-α, reprogram macrophages by releasing prostaglandin E2. Prostaglandin E2 acts on the macrophages through the EP2 and EP4 receptors and stimulates the production and release of an ...

Expression of Foxp3 and Rorc Genes in Patients Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation: Impact in the Development of Acute and Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease

Camila Marca de Veiga Cabral, Walter Moises Tobias Braga, Adriano de Moraes Arantes, Jose Salvador Rodrigues de Oliveira, Gisele Wally Braga Colleoni and Fabio Rodrigues Kerbauy

Article Type: ORIGINAL ARTICLE | First Published: September 07, 2018

The aim of this study is to characterize Treg (FOXP3) and Th17 (RORC)-related genes in patients who underwent hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and correlate them with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) onset and patients' outcome. Fifty-one patients undergoing allogeneic HCT from matched related donors (MRD) were studied. Samples were collected before HCT, at acute (aGVHD) or chronic GVHD (cGVHD) onset, and 90 days post-HCT for those who did not have signs of aGVHD. FOXP3 and RORC gene exp...

Lenalidomide Plus Dexamethasone is an Active Rescue Treatment for Myeloma with Severe Renal Impairment Failing to Bortezomib-Based Induction Therapy

Giuseppe Mele and Domenico Pastore

Article Type: Case Reports & Case Series | First Published: July 12, 2018

Patients with relapsed/refractory Multiple Myeloma (rrMM) and End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis must receive lenalidomide at a dosage of 5 mg daily on days 1-21 of repeated 28-day cycles, due to substantial elimination via the kidneys. Unfortunately, despite dose reduction, severe adverse events occur with a high frequency. Therefore, lenalidomide is recommended mainly in patients with mild-to-moderate renal impairment....

Benign Lymphadenopathy Presented in a Malignant Pathway - A Rare Case of Proteinaceous Lymphadenopathy

Md Serajul Islam and Pavel Kotoucek

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: June 30, 2018

Proteinaceous lymphadenopathy is a rare non-specific lymph node changes incidence of which increases with age. This condition is usually associated with hypergammaglobulinemia or rheumatological conditions. However, this condition can also be due to unknown aetiology as we are presenting a case where no underlying case was found. It may affect nodal function, and rarely may it calcify. Histopathologist needs to be vigilant of this condition as lymphoma with lymph node sclerosis should be conside...

Multiple Myeloma Associated with Dermatomyositis: A Short Report and Mini-Review

Md Serajul Islam and Pavel Kotoucek

Article Type: Research Article | First Published: June 20, 2018

Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by the neoplastic proliferation of plasma cell clones that produce monoclonal immunoglobulin. Dermatomyositis (DM), and to a lesser extent polymyositis (PM), carry a higher risk of cancer than that of the general population as demonstrated by several studies with the prevalence being 32% and 15% for DM and PM respectively. The mechanism underlying the association between idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) and malignancies remains unclear....
