Bone-marrow transplant from an unrelated donor for chronic granulomatous disease.

View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

A boy with chronic granulomatous disease received a bone-marrow graft from a fully compatible unrelated donor, in association with a modified immunosuppressant regimen. He showed considerable clinical improvement with definite evidence of engraftment, and he has enjoyed a normal life for over 3 years.

beta-thromboglobulin in antecubital vein blood--the influence of age, sex and blood group.

Samples of blood for estimation of beta-thromboglobulin (B.T.G.) in normal subjects have been obtained both from blood donors at the end of their donation and from other volunteers by standard venepuncture. The former was a satisfactory method in males only. By standard venepuncture females have on average lower values than males and in the pre-menopausal age groups the difference is statistically significant. Mean values vary little up to 59 years after which they rise slowly but steadily. There is no significant difference in the mean B.T.G. values between the ABO blood groups.

Genetic polymorphisms and intrauterine development. Evidence of decreased heterozygosity in light-for-dates human newborn babies.

In 2 independent samples of low-birth-weight infants the proportion of females and homozygotes for a series of polymorphic systems was higher in light-for-dates than in preterm babies. The observation seems to give support to the hypothesis that homozygosity for 'normal' polymorphisms may decrease in general intrauterine growth rate. Since it is known that survival rate is strongly related to birth weight, a correlation between growth retardation and homozygosity may have a major role in the maintenance of such polimorphisms.
