Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is a rareE primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by early onset recurrent infections
in association with persistent severe agranulocytosis. To identify the clinical, immunohematological, and molecular characteristics
of patients with SCN, 18 Iranian patients with the mean age of 8.8 ± 5.8 years were investigated in this study. All of these
patients experienced severe neutropenia; the mean of absolute neutrophil count was 281.4 ± 137.7 cells/mm3. Bone marrow findings were typified by a myeloid maturation arrest at the promyelocyte–myelocyte stage in these patients.
Molecular analysis revealed different mutations in the ELA-2 gene of one patient and in the HAX-1 gene of another three patients. The most common presenting complaints in these patients were superficial abscesses, oral
ulcers, cutaneous infections, omphalitis, and pneumonia. During the course of illness, all patients developed mucocutaneous
manifestations, and 16 cases had respiratory infections. The most commonly manifestations were abscesses, oral ulcers, pneumonia,
periodontitis, otitis media, cutaneous infections, mucocutaneous candidiasis, and acute diarrhea. Three patients died because
of a severe infection. Although SCN is a rare disorder, early onset of severe and recurrent infections should always raise
a suspicion, which deserves further evaluation for detecting such disorder. 相似文献

Introduction Leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) type III is a rare syndrome characterized by severe recurrent infections, leukocytosis,
and increased bleeding tendency. All integrins are normally expressed yet a defect in their activation leads to the observed
clinical manifestations.
Materials and Methods Less than 20 patients have been reported world wide and the primary genetic defect was identified in some of them. Here we
describe the clinical features of patients in whom a mutation in the calcium and diacylglycerol-regulated guanine nucleotide
exchange factor 1 (CalDAG GEF1) was found and compare them to other cases of LAD III and to animal models harboring a mutation
in the CalDAG GEF1 gene.
Discussion The hallmarks of the syndrome are recurrent infections accompanied by severe bleeding episodes distinguished by osteopetrosis
like bone abnormalities and neurodevelopmental defects. 相似文献

Primary immunodeficiency disorders (PID) are a heterogeneous group of diseases, characterized by an increased susceptibility to infections. A total of 930 patients (573 males and 357 females) are registered in Iranian PID Registry (IPIDR) during three decades. Predominantly antibody deficiencies were the most common (38.4%), followed by congenital defects of phagocyte number and/or function (28.3%), other well-defined immunodeficiency syndromes (17.7%), combined T- and B-cell immunodeficiencies (11.0%), complement deficiencies (2.4%), and diseases of immune dysregulation (2.3%). Common variable immunodeficiency was the most frequent disorder (20.8%), followed by chronic granulomatous disease, ataxia-telangiectasia, btk deficiency, selective IgA deficiency, and T-B-severe combined immunodeficiency. The frequency of other PID disorders was less than 50 in number (<5%). There is an increasing trend in recognition of more PID in the recent years. Construction of such registry is not only important for its epidemiological aspect but also for its role in increasing the physician's knowledge about such disorders. 相似文献

BackgroundSelective Immunoglobulin M Deficiency (SIgMD) is known as a rare primary immunodeficiency characterized by an isolated deficiency of serum IgM. Other immunoglobulin levels and T-cell immunity are usually normal; although IgE may be elevated. SIgMD can be asymptomatic or with various bacterial and viral infections. It can also be associated with autoimmune diseases or malignancies. In the present study, we report for the first time, the prevalence of SIgMD in Iranian healthy adult population.Materials and MethodsA total of 3436 healthy donors were examined in the study; from August, 2006 to April, 2008. Serum IgM concentration was measured using the nephelometric method. We considered serum IgM less than 30 mg/dl as IgM deficiency.ResultsAmong 3436 participants, 65% were male and 34% were female; aging from 17 to 72 years (38.18 ± 10.78). Thirteen individuals were detected as IgM deficient subjects with the male to female ratio of 11/2, the prevalence of 0.37% and the frequency of 1/265. The mean serum IgM level was 24 ± 4.56 (16–29 mg/dl) in these cases. Among 13 IgM-deficient subjects, 7 cases were available for evaluating the clinical manifestations. In addition to atopic dermatitis which was the most common symptom in these patients, others were allergic rhinitis, food allergy, urinary tract infection and skin fungal infection. Two patients had no history of infectious disease or atopic conditions.ConclusionIn the present study we could determine the prevalence of SIgMD in our adult population (0.37%). The most common comorbid condition was atopy. Neither severe or life-threatening infections, nor autoimmune diseases (based on their history; the antibody screening was not performed as part of this study) or malignancies were found in these patients. Further evaluation is recommended to elucidate the prevalence of SIgMD among patients with recurrent infections. 相似文献

A simple, rapid assay was developed to diagnose holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency. Holocarboxylase synthetase first catalyzes the formation of biotinyl-AMP from biotin and ATP, an activity designated as biotinyl-AMP synthetase. In the second step of the reaction, biotin is transferred from biotinyl-AMP to the enzymatically inactive apocarboxylase to form an active holocarboxylase. The assay for holocarboxylase synthetase activity therefore requires a protein apocarboxylase substrate which is not readily available. In the assay for biotinyl-AMP synthetase, hydroxylamine reacts nonenzymatically with the product of the enzymatic reaction, biotinyl-AMP, to form biotinylhydroxamate. At the end of the reaction, unreacted radioactive biotin substrate, which is negatively charged at neutral pH, is bound to an anion-exchange resin and a neutral radioactive biotinylhydroxamate product in the supernatant is counted. In fibroblasts from 11 patients with proven holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency, the mean biotinyl-AMP synthetase activity at 25 nM biotin was 4% of the control mean with a range of 0.2 to 8%. This is an improved assay because it does not require preparation of an apocarboxylase substrate and is suitable for the diagnosis of patients with holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency. 相似文献

Background
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency type 1 (LAD I) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the ITGB2 gene, encoding the β2 integrin family. Severe recurrent infections, impaired wound healing, and periodontal diseases are the main features of disease.Methods
In order to investigate clinical and molecular manifestations of new LAD I cases, 11 patients diagnosed in one center during 7 years were studied. Patients were screened for the ITGB2 gene mutations, using polymerase chain reaction, followed by single-strand conformation polymorphism and sequencing.Results
The most common first presenting feature of the patients was omphalitis. The mean age of cord separation was 19.9?±?1 days. The most common clinical manifestations of the patients during the follow-up period included omphalitis, skin ulcers with poor healing, sepsis, and otitis media. During the follow-up, eight patients died. Eight homozygous changes, including seven novel mutations, were detected: two splicing (IVS4?6C>A, IVS7+1G>A), three missense (Asp128Tyr, Ala239Thr, and Gly716Ala), and three frameshift deletions (Asn282fsX41, Tyr382fsX9, and Lys636fsX22).Conclusion
Our results indicate that different mutations underlie the development of LAD I. Definitive molecular diagnosis is valuable for genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis. Regarding clinical presentations, it seems that omphalitis is the most consistent finding seen in LAD I infants. 相似文献11.

Leukocyte adhesion deficiency type 1 (LAD1) is an autosomal recessive disorder clinically characterized by severe, recurrent bacterial infections, impaired pus formation and wound healing. It is caused by mutation in the ITGB2 gene, encoding the β2 integrin subunit of the leukocyte adhesion cell molecule. This study aimed to identify disease causing mutations in 19 consanguineous families diagnosed with LAD1.Blood samples were collected after informed and written consent was obtained. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood of patients and their parents. PCR amplification of the ITGB2 gene was done using specific primers followed by sequencing for mutation detection.A total number of 14 alterations scattered throughout the ITGB2 gene were ascertained in which 10 mutations were previously reported, including c.329−6C>A, c.382G>T, c.715G>A, c.843delC, c.897+1G>A, c.1062A>T, c.1143delC, c.1877+2T>C, c.1907delA and c.2147G>C. Four novel likely pathogenic mutations consisting of c.576dupC (Asn193GlnfsX72), c.706G>A (Gly236Arg), c.897+1G>T and c.1030G>T (Glu3441), were identified. The majority of these mutations were located in exon six, suggesting this exon as a hotspot region probably.This study emphasis on allelic heterogeneity of the ITGB2 gene in Iranian patients diagnosed with LAD1. Our results suggest that every population should develop a mutation database for rare genetic disorders to take advantage in genetic counseling clinic as well as genetic testing for rapid diagnostic purposes. 相似文献

Context:
Quality of life (QoL) is an important issue in all cancer patients; especially in patients with metastatic cancer. But there is very little information available about QoL in patients with metastatic gastrointestinal cancer.Aims:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life and its associated factors among Iranian patients with metastatic gastrointestinal tract cancer.Materials and Methods:
In this cross-sectional study, a total of 250 patients with metastatic gastrointestinal tract cancer were recruited from the one oncology center related to the Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Sari, between March 2012 and August 2013. Their QoL was evaluated using the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire (Persian version).Results:
In this study, the overall QoL score of patients with gastrointestinal tract cancer was 57.63, which was relatively optimal. There was a statistically significant relationship between symptoms scale and general health status domains of quality of life with age (P < 0.05). Also, there was a significant association between patients’ gender and their social functioning (P = 0.017) and also their emotional functioning (P = 0.015).Conclusions:
The findings suggest that in patients with metastatic gastrointestinal cancers, the most affected functions in their QoL were social and emotional functioning which get worse with age. Thus, providing psychological counseling and psychotherapy services to deliver culturally appropriate mental health care and social support for these patients and their families’ which can lead to the improvement of QoL in these patients is strongly recommended. 相似文献13.

A variable height flow cell was used to measure the adhesion properties of the neural cell line of neuroblastoma X glioma (NG108-15) cells cultured on substrates of organosilane self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). The SAMs tested in this study were 13F, 15F, PEG 550, OTS, DETA and APTS. Utilizing deep UV lithography, patterning of the SAMs create three regions for cell attachment; the original SAM, the backfilled SAM, and the interface between the two. Upon plating, the cell soma show no preference for any of the three regions. One exception was on PEG 550, which was found to resist cell adhesion upon normal plating conditions. The cell processes of the NG108-15 cells show a preference for growth at the interface between two patterned surfaces. A factor of three increase in adhesive properties was found for the patterned surfaces over an uncoated glass surface. Design rules of a single whole cell biosensor using the NG108-15 cells can be developed based on these findings. 相似文献

Homeostasis is a word widely used in the scientific community to refer to the property of a system to maintain its uniformity and functionality. In living organisms, the word refers to the concept enunciated 150 years ago by C. Bernard by which external variations must be compensated for in order to maintain internal conditions compatible with life. This is especially true in the case of highly dynamic system such as the hematopoietic system that requires the coordinated control of cell proliferation and death within specialized microenvironments that are anatomically distinct. As a consequence, hematopoietic cell adhesion and migration must be tightly controlled in order for hematopoietic cells to reach and to be maintained in appropriate microenvironments. The junctional adhesion molecules (JAMs) are adhesion molecules that belong to the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSf) and that have been initially identified as important players controlling vascular permeability and leukocyte transendothelial migration. This involves the regulated localization of the JAMs at lateral endothelial cell/cell borders and their interaction with leukocyte integrins. More recently, some of the JAM family members have also been found to be expressed by stromal cells and to regulate chemokine secretion within lymphoid organs, acting not only on leukocyte transendothelial migration, but also on hematopoietic cell retention within specialized microenvironments. This review summarizes recent progress in understanding the role of the JAMs in leukocyte adhesion and migration to tentatively draw an integrated view of the homeostatic function of the JAMs within the hematopoietic system. 相似文献

Type 3 immunodeficiency-associated vaccine-derived polioviruses (iVDPVs) were isolated from a 15-month-old Iranian boy with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) who was subsequently diagnosed with X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). VP1 nucleotide sequences of the two isolates differed from Sabin 3 by 2.0% and 2.1% and from each other by 0.6%. Although the key determinant of attenuation and temperature sensitivity in the 5'-untranslated region (U(472)-->C) had reverted, a second capsid-region determinant (VP3:Phe(091)) was unchanged, but a presumptive suppressor (VP1:Ala(054)-->Val) was found. The isolates were Sabin 3/Sabin 1 recombinants, sharing a single recombination breakpoint in the 2C region. Although the two isolates were antigenically distinct from Sabin 3, only one amino acid replacement was found in the neutralizing antigenic sites (VP3:Ser(059)-->Asn in site 3). The patient was placed on intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy within 9 days of onset of AFP, and iVDPV excretion ceased thereafter, but the patient remained severely paralyzed until his death approximately 11 months after paralysis. No secondary AFP cases were found, and none of the seven tested contacts of the patient were found to be infected with poliovirus. 相似文献

Similar disorders in microrheology manifesting in increased rigidity of leukocytes and correlating with high blood levels
of globulins and C-reactive protein were detected in patients with diabetes mellitus and initial manifestations of hypertension.
It was found that statistical relationships between aggregate properties of erythrocytes and biochemical parameters of the
plasma are not universal and depend on the disease.

Due to rarity of factor V (FV) deficiency, there have been only a few case reports in Korea. We retrospectively analysed the clinical-laboratory features of FV deficiency in 10 Korean patients. Between January 1987 and December 2013, 10 case reports published in a Korean journal or proceedings of Korea Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis were reviewed. Severity is defined as mild (> 5% of factor activity), moderate (1%–5%), and severe (< 1%). The median age at diagnosis, six males and four females, was 26 years (range, 1 month-73 years). Six of 10 patients were classified as moderate, three as mild, and one as severe disease. Eight patients were diagnosed as inherited FV deficiency. The most frequent symptoms were mucosal tract bleedings (40%) such as epistaxis, and menorrhagia in female. Hemarthroses and postoperative bleeding occurred in one and four patients, respectively. Life-threatening bleeding episodes occurred in the peritoneal cavity (n = 2), central nerve system (n = 1), and retroperitoneal space (n = 1). No lethal haemorrhages happened to patients with mild disease. The majority of bleeding episodes were controlled with local measures and fresh-frozen plasma replacement. Two acquired FV deficient-patients showing life-threatening haemorrhages received the immunosuppressive therapy, but one of them died from postoperative bleeding complications. Despite the small sample size of this study due to rarity of the disease, we found that Korean patients with FV deficiency had similar clinical manifestations and treatment outcomes shown in previous studies. 相似文献
