Electron spin resonance as a useful technique in the management of Hodgkin's disease

Electron spin resonance of caeruloplasmin and iron transferrin in blood of patients with various malignant diseases

“…Techniques used for the ESR study of caeruloplasmin and Fe transferrin in whole blood are identical to those previously described (Foster et al, 1977a …”

Estimation of the Malignancy of Pleural Effusions by Electron Spin Resonance

“…plasma, and serum are iron transferrin with a signal This value was estimated from a receiver-operating of g Å 4.2 and the copper ceruloplasmin with a signal of g Å 2.049 (2,(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)14). In the pleural effusions, we also observed the signals with g Å 4.2 and 2.049.…”

“…Hodgkin's diseases showed higher ceruloplasmin inten-group (P õ 0.01). A fluctuation in the determination of the absolute signal intensity should be cancelled out sities and lower iron transferrin intensities than those with inactive disease (6). In our ESR measurements of by taking the ratio, which leads to the significant difference of the Cu 2/ /Fe 3/ ratios in the effusions.…”

“…nance (ESR) 1 method on blood (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). Some authors The peak-to-peak height was used as a measure of sighave reported that the patients with the malignant nal intensity, since the signal was confirmed to have diseases such as cancer and Hodgkin's disease had a constant line width and line shape in all the samples.…”

Electron Spin Resonance in Haematological Research

“…Patients with clinically active Hodgkin's discasc show clevated caeruloplasmin e.s.r. signal sizc (Foster et a / , 1977b) which is currently used by these workers in routine managerncnt of patients. Slight elevations are also found in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (Foster et a / , 1977a) but it was felt that these findings were of less value in the clinical context.…”
