The Cytokine Tnf-Alpha. Genetics And Suitability For Prenatal Risks Assessment, El-Harith A. El-Harith
The Cytokine Tnf-Alpha. Genetics And Suitability For Prenatal Risks Assessment, El-Harith A. El-Harith
Saudi Medical Journal
The tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) is a cytokine known as a mediator of inflammation and immunity. The genes coding the tumor necrosis factors alpha and beta are considered part of class III major histocompatability complex. The 2 involved genes have been mapped to chromosome 6. Certain mutations in the TNF-alpha gene are believed to be causative for increased production of the cytokine. In this respect, the most common variant is the TNF2 allele, a single nucleotide substitution of guanine by adenine at position -308 relative to the promoter transcription site of the gene. Elevated production of TNF-alpha has been found …
Fertility Preservation In Children And Young Adults Undergoing Treatment For Malignancy, Haya M. Al-Fozan, Togas Tulandi
Fertility Preservation In Children And Young Adults Undergoing Treatment For Malignancy, Haya M. Al-Fozan, Togas Tulandi
Saudi Medical Journal
Advances in cancer therapy have improved the long-term survival of young patients suffering from malignancies. However, the adverse effects of the treatment are sterility and loss of gonadal function especially in females. Preservation of fertility in males by sperm freezing is more practical and already established. For young women undergoing cancer treatment, the availability of preserving the gonadal function and fertility has just begun. Today, we can cryopreserve the oocytes, the embryos or the ovarian tissue and in those undergoing pelvic irradiation, laparoscopic lateral ovarian suspension can be considered. Because women with non-gynecological malignancies seek advice from a general surgeon …
