| description | BACKGROUND: Leukemia defined as the cancer of bone marrow i.e. leading to wild proliferation of
blood forming cells. The WBCs are granulocytes, which avert bacterial infection and T and B
lymphocytes. Prognostic measures for the disease are still not clear whereas, in children prognosis
rate is better as compared to adults.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty (n=50) patients of leukemia and fifty (n=50) were obtained
and screened at Ganga Ram Hospital Lahore. Serum was separated and estimated for their 8-
hydroxy -2-deoxy guanosine, Isoprostanes, myeloperoxidase and cytokines such as TNF-α and
several interleukins with their commercially available ELISA kits respectively. While neutrophils
were estimated by the help of hematology analyzer and malondialdehyde (MDA) was estimatedby
the method of Ohkawa.
RESULTS: The results of the present study shows that variables of oxidative stressi.e.,
malondialdehyde (MDA), isoprostanes (IsoP-F2a), 8-hydroxy-2-deoxy guanosine (8-OHdG),
neutrophils and cytokines including interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and
myeloperoxidase (MPO)differed significantly. The recorded levels of MDA (5.26±1.26 nmoles/ml),
Isoprostanes (81.26±5.26 pg/ml), 8-OHdG (1.22±0.016 pg/ml), MPO (2.16±0.16 pg/ml) were
significantly increased as compared to controls. Levels of cytokines i.e., IL-6 and TNF-α remained
(6.59±2.16pg/ml) and (56.26±2.26 pg/ml) in diseased group while in controls they
were(0.965±0.16pg/ml) and (0.15±0.015pg/ml)respectively.
CONCLUSION: Performed research work concludes that leukemic patients have positive relation
among disease progression and oxidative stress. It is characterized by increased the levels of
oxidative stress markers significantly in serum concentration. Increased level of MDA signifies
increased lipid peroxidation in the subjects of leukemic patients. |
