Immune system remains under control of several controlling mechanism. Genetic or epigenetic changes in neoplastic cells provide antigen-derived diversity; however, these cells do not initiate immune response. The main mechanism of development of immune resistance by tumor cells seems to be a change in expression of proteins engaged...

Rzadkie choroby makrofag ów u dorosłych
This article focuses on macrophage disorders which can be present in adult patients. The review highlights pathogenesis, signs and symptoms, diagnostic criteria and principles of therapy in the most frequent macrophage diseases in adults: hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, Rosai-Dorfman disease, Gaucher disease, Niemann-Pick disease, and Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Since macrophage disorders can be encountered by various medical specialists, basic knowledge of these entities and their diagnostic criteria should be familiar to all physicians, including hematologists.

Zmiany rodzaju koncentratu czynnika krzepni ęcia u chorego na hemofilię – korzyść czy ryzyko?
Publication date: April–June 2016 Source:Acta Haematologica Polonica, Volume 47, Issue 2 Author(s): Anna Klukowska Patients with haemophilia are treated with a variety of coagulation factor concentrates. They usually change concentrate types many times during their lifetime for different, often independent, reasons. Since recombinant coagulation factor concentrates VIII and IX became available, some patients in well-developed countries have started using these products instead of previously applied plasma-derived concentrates. At the moment, there are different types of concentrates available, including first, seco...

Koncentrat p łytek krwi napromieniowany czy poddany redukcji biologicznych czynników chorobotwórczych – który składnik wybrać w celu profilaktyki poprzetoczeniowej choroby przeszczep-przeciw-gospodarzowi?
Publication date: Available online 24 April 2016 Source:Acta Haematologica Polonica Author(s): Piotr Olbromski, Piotr Radziwon Attributable mortality due to transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease (TA-GVHD) in contrary to the reaction occurring after transplantations has been estimated to be more than 95%. This type of reaction may occur not only in immunocompromised patients but also in patients without immune deficits. Because there is currently no available treatment for TA-GVHD and very high mortality the goal has been to reduce the likelihood of occurrence in recipients at risk of TA-GVHD. The removal...

Nowe metody diagnostyczne w prognozowaniu i śledzeniu odpowiedzi na leczenie inhibitorami kinaz tyrozynowych przewlekłej białaczki szpikowej
Publication date: Available online 28 April 2016 Source:Acta Haematologica Polonica Author(s): Joanna Wącław, Tomasz Sacha Techniques of molecular biology are of key importance in diagnostics and monitoring of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) treatment response of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Although much has already been achieved in this field, new prognostic factors and developments in laboratory methods are constantly emerging. Halving time is a new prognostic factor defined as the rate of BCR-ABL1 decline from baseline, assessed by estimating the number of days over which BCR-ABL1 halved. Among patients ...

Interferon γ i interleukina-2 a ostra choroba przeszczep-przeciw-gospodarzowi i powikłania infekcyjne u pacjentów po allogenicznej transplantacji komórek krwiotwórczych
Conclusion Serum concentration of IFN-γ following alloHSCT gradually increases. High serum concentration of IFN-γ is related to infectious complications rather than to acute GvHD. Undetectable serum concentration of IL-2 in majority of patients prevents from drawing conclusions. (Source: Acta Haematologica Polonica)
