[Cytological study of acid phosphatase activity of plasma cells in monoclonal gammopathies].

Only registered users can translate articles

The activity of acid phosphatase in bone marrow plasma cells was investigated by a cytochemical method in 12 patients with multiple myeloma, in 12 patients with benign monoclonal gammopathy and in 5 normal controls. The activity of acid phosphatase was significantly higher in the multiple myeloma

Persistent Increase in Serum Alkaline Phosphatase in a Patient with Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undefined Significance.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report the finding of alkaline phosphatase-immunoglobulin complex (macro-alkaline phosphatase (macro-ALP)) in a patient with persistently increased ALP activity. The identification of macro-ALP is important to rule out pathological causes of increased ALP activity and to avoid unnecessary

[Plasma cell acid phosphatase in the differential diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathies].

Only registered users can translate articles

Acid phosphatase activity was studied cytochemically in bone marrow plasma cells of 32 multiple myelomas, 45 non-myelomatous monoclonal gammopathies and 20 normal subjects. We have found significant differences among these three groups (P less than 0.001). The usefulness of this cytochemical

Leukocyte alkaline phosphatase score in plasma cell dyscrasias: correlation with disease severity and circulating levels of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor.

In this study the leukocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP) score in 106 patients with multiple myeloma (MM) in various phases of the disease (66 at diagnosis, 18 in plateau phase, 22 in relapse) was examined and compared with the score of 68 patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined

Abnormal bone turnover in monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance: analyses of type I collagen telopeptide, osteocalcin, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase and propeptides of type I and type III procollagens.

Only registered users can translate articles

The main difference between monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and multiple myeloma (MM) is the presence of lytic bone destructions in the latter. About 20% of MGUS patients develop MM, and histomorphometric studies have shown disturbed bone turnover rates in some of these

Plasma cell acid phosphatase, a discriminative test for benign and malignant monoclonal gammopathies.

Only registered users can translate articles

Acid phosphatase activity estimated cytochemically is markedly increased in myeloma plasma cells compared to that found in normal plasma cells, polyclonal plasma-cytoses and most interestingly in the non-myelomatous monoclonal dysglobulinaemias. In the differential diagnosis of this last group the

[Usefulness of plasma cell acid phosphatase in the differential diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathies].

Only registered users can translate articles

The acid phosphatase activity has been studied cytochemically in bone marrow plasma cells of 12 patients with multiple myeloma and 15 with non-myeloma plasmocytosis. The acid phosphatase activity has been significantly higher in the myeloma group. The utilization and usefulness of this cytochemical

Spectrum of monoclonal gammapathies in Andhra Pradesh.

In the present study, monoclonal gammapathy was identified in a total of 245 patients of plasma cell dyscrasias during period of 1987 to 2000. The monoclonal band was identified in serum by agar gel electrophoresis in all the cases and in urine in a few cases. Characterization of paraprotein

Serum neural cell adhesion molecule differentiates multiple myeloma from paraproteinemias due to other causes.

Only registered users can translate articles

Serum neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) has been described as a prognostic marker in multiple myeloma (MM). Both C-reactive protein (CRP) and beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2M) are established prognostic markers in MM. We tested the diagnostic value of these markers in 212 serum samples of patients

[Contribution to the evaluation of serum levels of selected biological parameters in monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and in individual clinical stages of multiple myeloma].

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND This study aimed to measure serum levels of 12 selected parameters in patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and initial, asymptomatic phase of multiple myeloma (MM) to assess their potential benefit in differentiating both conditions. METHODS The analysed

Biochemical markers of bone formation in patients with plasma cell dyscrasias and benign osteoporosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Myeloma-induced bone loss is related to an uncoupling of bone formation and bone resorption. The aim of the present study was to assess the potential clinical value of biochemical markers of bone formation in the work up of patients with plasma cell dyscrasias. METHODS Serum total

Overexpression and involvement in migration by the metastasis-associated phosphatase PRL-3 in human myeloma cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by accumulation and dissemination of malignant plasma cells (PCs) in the bone marrow (BM). Gene expression profiling of 2 MM cell lines (OH-2 and IH-1) indicated that expression of PRL-3, a metastasis-associated tyrosine phosphatase, was induced by several

Bone remodelation markers are useful in the management of monoclonal gammopathies.

Only registered users can translate articles

The evaluation of bone disease in multiple myeloma (MM) by conventional radiology has low reproducibility. In the last decade, several serum and urine biochemical parameters, for evaluation of bone turnover, have become available. The present study was designed to explore the value of six bone

Quantification of dendritic cells and osteoclasts in the bone marrow of patients with monoclonal gammopathy.

Only registered users can translate articles

The purpose of this study was to find histological clues for reliable differentiation between monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and myeloma when clinical parameters are controversial. Differential appearance of dendritic cells and osteoclasts, two cell types developing from

[Atypical chronic myeloid leukemia presenting with trilineage dysplasia and IgG (lambda) type monoclonal gammopathy].

Only registered users can translate articles

A 78-year-old man was diagnosed as leukocytosis in February 1994. Physical examination revealed marked hepatosplenomegaly. A peripheral blood examination disclosed 95,090/microliter leukocytes without hiatus leukemicus, 6.5 g/dl Hb, and 15.0 x 10(4)/microliter platelets. The neutrophil alkaline
