Molecular cloning of EZH2 oncogene in chronic myeloid leukemia and therapeutic prospects by Juliana Costa Gaspar, Lucas Santos de Santana, Camila Menezes Freire de Souza, Marcos Montani Caseiro, Rosane Rezende de Souza Giuliani, Cleide Barbieri de Souza

“…Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasia, caused in 95 % of the cases by a cytogenetic abnormality characterized by the reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 t(9; 22) (q34; q11), resulting in Philadelphia chromosome (Ph).Considering that CML cure is only possible with a successful bone marrow transplantation and that there are resistance cases to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor Imatinib Mesylate, prescribed in first line drug treatment; it is important to know in detail the genes and proteins that are possibly altered in CML, favoring effective therapeutic strategies, optimized diagnosis and minimal residual disease detection. Among the new therapeutic approaches to CML is gene therapy, which, depending on the target gene, can be efficient to other neoplasms treatment. …”

Non-invasive Evaluation of Electromechanical Transmission in Patients with Hypertensive Response to Exercise Stress Test by Ahmet Ferhat KAYA, Mehmet Hasan OZDIL, Cemalettin YILMAZ, Raif KILIC, Mehmet OZBEK, Hasan KAYA

“…Lateral PA-TDI time (the time from the beginning of the P wave measured by tissue Doppler imaging to the beginning of the A' wave), left atrial electromechanical delay, and interatrial electromechanical delay were observed to be significantly longer in the hypertensive response group to exercise stress test compared with the control group (74.0+-6.3 vs. 68.8+-5.7, p=0.003; 24.7+-7.0 vs. 19.6+-7.1, p=0.013; 36.8+-8.5 vs. 30.6+-6.6, p=0.003, respectively). Conclusions: Early detection of electromechanical delay non-invasively may be useful in this patient group in predicting the development of new AF risk.…”
