Serum levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides were studied in 202 patients affected by various hematological malignancies at the time of diagnosis. A hypocholesterolemia was found in 44% of patients affected by lymphoproliferative diseases and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, with an evident
In the recent years more and more data suggest a significant relationship between malignant diseases and cholesterol, respectively lipoprotein metabolism. It is a significant decrease of cholesterol in primary myelofibrosis (agnogenic myeloid metaplasia) and in secondary myelofibrosis. Similarly,
A previously healthy 12-year-old girl was admitted to the intensive care unit with severe pulmonary bleeding. Her history revealed that she had suffered from high fever, fatigue, sore throat, myalgia and generalized rash for two weeks. Physical examination revealed hepatosplenomegaly. Laboratory
Lipoproteins have previously, been studied in various myeloproliferative disorders. This study focused only on agnogenic myeloid metaplasia (AMM). Total cholesterol (TC), phospholipids (PL) and triglycerides (TG) were measured not only in serum but also in HDL, VLDL and LDL with in the same time
Patients with the myeloproliferative disorders (MPD), myeloid metaplasia and polycythemia vera, have significantly reduced concentrations of plasma low density (LDL) and high density (HDL) lipoprotein cholesterol (C). We have previously demonstrated that increased catabolism of LDL was associated
Recently, the association of granulocytic fragments on blood smear with leukoerythroblastosis in sepsis has been identified in nine patients. Granulocytic fragments were identified by both light and electron microscopy as well as cytochemistry. Leukoerythroblastosis is a poorly defined, uncommon
OBJECTIVE
Sarcoidosis is a disease in which the proliferation of monocyte-macrophage-derived cells is observed. In other diseases characterized by expansion of the monocyte-macrophage system, such as Gaucher's disease and myeloid metaplasia, abnormalities of lipoprotein metabolism have been
BACKGROUND
There is an abnormal increase in TGF-β1 bioavailability in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which might play a role in the pathophysiology of this syndrome. Vitamin D (VD) supplementation improves various clinical manifestations of PCOS and decreases TGF-β1 levels in several
