Abstract

Digestive tract damage during graft-versus-host reaction (GVHR) causes high morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis is often late because biopsies are performed when clinical signs are severe and pathologic markers of early inflammatory lesions are lacking. Eosinophils are inflammatory cells, cytotoxic in vitro to digestive epithelium; they are found in biopsy specimens taken during acute flare-ups of inflammatory bowel disease. We performed systematic duodenal biopsies immediately after digestive symptoms occurred and found a digestive GVHR incidence of 73.1% (n = 93), higher than that found when digestive biopsies were performed immediately after severe clinical signs. Eosinophils were only present when there were histologic signs of GVHR; eosinophil presence correlated with GVHR severity. Electron microscopy with immunogold staining showed pathologic signs of in situ eosinophil activation, such as cytoplasmic granule alterations, and eosinophil peroxidase release in all patients. Interleukin-5 presence in activated eosinophils suggests eosinophil recruitment in digestive GVHR is an autocrine mechanism. Eosinophil density also correlated with GVHR severity, whether in acute or chronic clinical phases. Tissue eosinophils could thus...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
