The results seem to be promising. Reprogrammed T cells recognize specific antigens on the surface of target cells, which in turn triggers their activation independently of MHC. Appropriate antigen selectivity and intracellular signalling facilitates killing cancer cells. The use of anti-CD19 CAR-T lymphocytes in the treatment of DLBCL and ALL has radically changed the way lymphoid neoplasms are treated, especially in patients who experience relapses or resist standard therapies. The genetic transduction involves not only CAR fusion protein modified by a retrovirus or lentivirus, but also costimulatory domains, suicide genes, and transgenes to produce additional effector molecules and CAR bispecific checkpoint inhibitors. Modern genetic engineering technologies such as TALEN or CRISPR/Cas9 are used to edit genes. Their goal is to improve the response rate and extend remission duration time, target new disease entities, reduce toxicity, and possibly create ‘universal CAR-T cells’. Potential mechanisms of CAR-T lymphocyte failure include tumor escaping from immune surveillance (e.g., by loss of CD19 expression), immunosuppressive microenvironment, depletion of CAR-T lymphocytes, or their decreased activity. This review also discusses potential toxicity and possible ways to prevent or treat dangerous or life-threatening adverse effects of the therapy.","PeriodicalId":38988,"journal":{"name":"Hematologia","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81247110","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}

Among them, endocrinological and diabetic complications of immunotherapy are of particular importance, and they belong to the most frequently observed, mainly due to the interference of the treatment with functioning of the immune system. As a result, it can lead to the induction of autoimmune processes in many systems, including endocrine glands. The effectiveness of some therapies may also be determined by the occurrence of side effects in the form of autoimmune diseases. Increasing use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, as well as glucocorticosteroids exerting immunosuppressive effect, which are applied, leads to the development of various pathologies of the endocrine system. The most common complications developing on the background of autoimmune inflammation are disturbances in the function of thyroid gland, pituitary gland in its anterior lobe, and very rarely in the posterior lobe in the form of diabetes insipidus. The above-mentioned disorders may occur in patients of all ages, regardless of gender. Some dysfunctions are subclinical and are found incidentally during routine check-up, both in the course of the treatment process or after its completion. Taking into account the possibility of serious consequences of the therapy, it is now recommended to periodically control the patients.","PeriodicalId":38988,"journal":{"name":"Hematologia","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87059907","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}

PAL are tumors characterized by a rapid growth, an aggressive course and a poor prognosis. The disease usually develops in the elderly, most often in the 6.–7. decade of life, 2–7 times more often in men than in women. The etiopathogenesis of PAL is complex, multifactorial and still not fully understood.. The most commonly reported symptoms include fever of unknown origin, abdominal pain, fatigue, and weight loss. In the case of lesions localized on both sides, symptoms of adrenal insufficiency are relatively common. PAL may also be clinically silent and be detected as incidentalomas. The examination of choice in PAL diagnostics is computed tomography (CT) of the abdominal cavity aimed at the adrenal glands and combined with hormonal assessment. The gold standard in the diagnosis of PAL is percutaneous fine-needle aspiration biopsy under ultrasound or CT guidance, which allows for the final diagnosis. Histopathologically, the vast majority of cases are diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. It has been suggested to combine various methods of treatment, including immunochemotherapy/chemotherapy, surgery with subsequent immunochemotherapy/chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. The purpose of the following systematic review was to perform an interdisciplinary analysis of the clinical picture, pathogenesis, diagnostic methods and current therapeutic strategies, taking into account the prognosis for individual PAL subtypes.","PeriodicalId":38988,"journal":{"name":"Hematologia","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89878189","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}

W artykule zaprezentowano przypadek 50-letniej chorej, u ktorej w wieku 34 lat rozpoznano CLL i ktorą z tego powodu leczono wieloma liniami chemioimmunoterapii, w tym zawierającymi fludarabine. W ostatnim okresie chora otrzymywala inhibitor kinazy tyrozynowej Brutona — ibrutynib. Po 52 miesiącach odpowiedzi na ibrutynib u chorej doszlo do progresji choroby z obecnością objawow ogolnych i z ewolucją klonalną pod postacią nowej del(17p). Chorą zakwalifikowano do leczenia wenetoklaksem, stosowanym przez 2 lata od 1. dnia 1. cyklu w dawce 400 mg/dobe, po wcześniejszym 5-tygodniowym stopniowym zwiekszaniu dawki, w skojarzeniu z rytuksymabem, stosowanym przez pierwsze 6 miesiecy leczenia. \u0000Pierwsze miareczkowanie wenetoklaksu przerwano przy dawce 50 mg/dobe ze wzgledu na gorączke i neutropenie 3. stopnia.

W wyniku zastosowanego leczenia uzyskano ustąpienie limfadenopatii i objawow ogolnych oraz istotną poprawe parametrow morfologii krwi obwodowej.

However, a changing trend is also visible in other fields of medicine, where PRF is becoming more important. The reason for the use of platelet concentrates and the ability to match their type to a specific surgical procedure is extremely important because of the different physico-chemical and biological properties. \u0000 This article will introduce the use of autologous blood derivatives. The multitude of potential applications in medicine proves versatility, minimal risk of complications associated with the use of platelet concentrates, and above all - improvement of all parameters related to healing, tissue regeneration or prevention of complications after surgery.
