The isolated fractions have been examined by electron microscopy and assayed for protein, serotonin, lactate dehydrogenase, cytochrome c oxidase, β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, 5′-nucleotidase, acid phosphatase, β-glucu-ronidase, β-galactosidase, β-N-acetylgluco-saminidase, cathepsin, aryl sulphatase and a-mannosidase. The latter two enzymes had low activities. Homogenization with blendor caused great solubilization of serotonin and lysosomal enzymes but not cytochrome c oxidase. The granules in the homogenate were swollen and showed great loss of osmo-philia. The particles were isolated by differential centrifugation and separated into 3 zones after centrifugation on discontinuous sucrose gradients. The upper zone contained proteinaceous material, the second contained mostly vesicular membranes and the lowest one contained α-granules, transected pseudo-pods plus mitochondria with varying degrees of preservation. Acid phosphatase was present in the membranes but the highest activity was found in the upper part of the granular band together with β-galactosidase. β-Glucuronidase, β-N-acetylglucosaminidase and cathepsin were mainly located in the lower part of this band. Homogenization with a ‘no-clearance’ Teflon pestle caused less solubilization than the blendor and gave better organelle preservation. Isolated particles from such homogenates separated into two bands on gradient centrifugation which morphologically and biochemically were equal to those obtained when these homogenates were applied directly on the gradient. The upper particulate band contained membranes and had bound 5′-nucleotidase. The lower band possessed in its upper part well-preserved α-granules and mitochondria whereas in the lower regions more electron dense granules, often with ‘Bull's eye’, were present. Swollen α-granules were present mainly in the lower part of this band. All lysosomal enzymes were localized at the same sucrose density. Probably, the α-gra-nules are the platelet lysosomes, but with pestle homogenization there was not the biochemical heterogenity as found when using the blendor. With pestle homogenization particle bound serotonin was found in fractions of high sucrose density which contained the dense α-granules with the ‘Bull's eye’.","PeriodicalId":21489,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian journal of haematology","volume":"4 1","pages":"3-35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79117967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When patients are matched for AA severity there is an obvious efficiency of the high-dose androgens in the survival of the less severe cases of aplastic anaemia and in their haematological improvement. The data further show that, among the 4 androgens tested, fluoxymesterone is the most efficient and stanozolol the least. We conclude that androgen therapy is truly efficient in moderately severe aplastic anaemia and that fluoxymesterone (1 mg/kg/d) for 18 months should be chosen as reference drug to any new androgen therapy assay.","PeriodicalId":21489,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian journal of haematology","volume":"51 1","pages":"346-52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76836127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whereas the HD1 receptor was found exclusively on human erythrocytes, the HD2 receptor could be demonstrated on human as well as on rat and guinea-pig erythrocytes. As neuraminidase has been shown to be the ‘specific’ enzyme for inactivating both the HD1 and HD2 receptors it can be concluded that also the configuration of the neuraminic acid as the HD determinant must be different. The special position of the HD receptor complex in comparison to other receptors determined by neuraminic acid is stressed.","PeriodicalId":21489,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian journal of haematology","volume":"38 1","pages":"280-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75808135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A severe bone marrow depression occurred 3 weeks after the start of the CCNU treatment. The nadir of the platelet count was reached after 4 weeks and that of the granulocyte count after 5 weeks. At the nadir of the white blood cell count, colony-forming cells (CFU-C) were found in significantly reduced numbers in the bone marrow, and were not found at all in the peripheral blood; the amount of colony-stimulating activity (CSA) produced by peripheral blood cells was reduced. However, the cells producing CSA recovered earlier than the CFU-C, and the CSA peak value was reached about 1 week before the peak value for CFU-C in the bone marrow. Thus, in vivo CSA-producing cells appeared to be more resistant to CCNU than were CFU-C, and their recovery appeared to be a prerequisite for the recovery of CFU-C and myelopoietic cells.","PeriodicalId":21489,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian journal of haematology","volume":"26 1","pages":"9-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84712807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
