Abstract Infant acute leukemia (IAL) has a unique profile characterized by the high incidence of translocations involving the MLL gene located at the 11q23 region. To test the potential role of intrauterine and perinatal factors linked to the risk of IAL development, a hospital-based case-control study was conducted in different cities of Brazil. A total of 202 children (ages 0-21 months) with newly diagnosed IAL was enrolled (1999-2005), and 440 age-matched controls were selected from the same hospitals ...

To investigate the association between maternal exposure to hair dyes and hair straightening cosmetics (HDSC) during pregnancy and leukemia at an early age (<2yr., EAL).A multicenter hospital-based case-control study was carried out in 13 states in Brazil between 1999 and 2007. Mothers of 176 ALL (acute lymphocytic leukemia) and 55 AML (acute myeloid leukemia) cases and 419 controls were enrolled and interviewed. Data on maternal exposure to HDSC occurring 3months before pregnancy, during pregnancy and ...

Specialized proresolving mediators and, in particular, 5(S), (6)R, 7-trihydroxyheptanoic acid methyl ester (BML-111) emerge as new therapeutic tools to prevent cardiac dysfunction and deleterious cardiac damage associated with myocarditis progression. The cardioprotective role of BML-111 is mainly caused by the prevention of increased oxidative stress and nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like 2 (NRF2) down-regulation induced by myocarditis. At the molecular level, BML-111 activates NRF2 signaling, ...

Abstract Airborne plant communication is a widespread phenomenon in which volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from damaged plants boost herbivore resistance in neighbouring, undamaged plants. Although this form of plant signalling has been reported in more than 30 plant species, there is still a considerable knowledge gap on how abiotic factors (e.g. water availability) alter its outcomes. We performed a greenhouse experiment to test for communication between potato plants Solanum tuberosum in response ...

To verify their influence on outcome, we analyzed a Brazilian pediatric T-ALL series of cases. One hundred and ninety two children, age ranged 0–21 years old, were consecutively diagnosed and treated. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique was used to identify the molecular alterations. Kaplan–Meyer method was applied to estimate ...

Abstract Background: Maternal exposure to dipyrone during pregnancy has been associated with risk of infant leukemia (IL). N-Acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) enzyme acetylates dipyrone, resulting in a detoxified metabolite. We performed genotyping to identify the distribution of NAT2 polymorphisms in duo samples from mothers and children previously investigated in a case-controlled study of IL.

Acute leukemia in early childhood is biologically and clinically distinct. The particular characteristics of this malignancy diagnosed during the first months of life have provided remarkable insights into the etiology of the disease. The pro-B, CD10 negative immunophenotype is typically found in infant acute leukemia, and the most common genetic alterations are the rearrangements of the MLL gene. In addition, the TEL/AML1 fusion gene is most frequently found in children older than 24 months. A ...

Cases of spastic paraparesis compatible with HAM/TSP had increased AI for HTLV-I (60/73) and HTLV-I proviral sequences in CSF (25/27).

Down syndrome (DS) is an important risk factor associated with acute leukemia (AL). The presence of polymorphisms that reduce 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) activity has been linked to the multifactorial leukemogenic process. The authors have conducted a study to test whether 677C→T and/or 1298A→C polymorphisms of MTHFR would play an additional role in susceptibility of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in DS children. They also verified whether any polymorphism in the MTHFR gene was associated ...
