[In vitro granulocyte colony formation in children with neuroblastoma (author's transl)]. 1977

G Tchernia, and C Parmentier, and S Morel-Brossel, and N Morardet, and O Schweisguth

In vitro granulocyte colony formation has been studied using the methylcellulose system in 22 children with neuroblastoma, 13 of them having bone marrow invasion. Only one third exhibited normal results. There were various disturbances of granulopoiesis in vitro: colony forming cells were decreased or increased and in the amplification compartment either an ineffective leucopoiesis or an increase in the number of mitosis was present. The abnormalities are not correlated to bone marrow invasion.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D007962 Leukocytes White blood cells. These include granular leukocytes (BASOPHILS; EOSINOPHILS; and NEUTROPHILS) as well as non-granular leukocytes (LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES).

D009447 Neuroblastoma A common neoplasm of early childhood arising from neural crest cells in the sympathetic nervous system, and characterized by diverse clinical behavior, ranging from spontaneous remission to rapid metastatic progression and death. This tumor is the most common intraabdominal malignancy of childhood, but it may also arise from thorax, neck, or rarely occur in the central nervous system. Histologic features include uniform round cells with hyperchromatic nuclei arranged in nests and separated by fibrovascular septa. Neuroblastomas may be associated with the opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome.

D001772 Blood Cell Count The number of LEUKOCYTES and ERYTHROCYTES per unit volume in a sample of venous BLOOD. A complete blood count (CBC) also includes measurement of the HEMOGLOBIN; HEMATOCRIT; and ERYTHROCYTE INDICES.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
