A majority of miscarriages have been thought to be caused by fertile ovum abnormalities; however, our findings suggest that a small uterus can also potentially cause miscarriage. There are no reports on the association between a small uterus and miscarriage. A woman in her late 20s, whose medical history revealed childhood acute lymphocytic leukemia, which progressed to remission after chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and bone marrow transplantation. Ultrasound revealed no ovarian follicles in either of the ovaries and small uterus (length, 32 mm) In cycle 15, after ovum collection, frozen embryos with Veeck’s classification of G3b9 were obtained. Embryo transplantation was performed during the hormone replacement cycle, resulting in pregnancy. On day 5 of gestational week 18, the patient experienced mild lower abdominal pain, and she underwent a spontaneous delivery.

In Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia motility of lymphocytes is associated with dissemination of malignancy and establishment of metastatic foci. Normal and leukemic lymphocytes in circulation reach solid tissues where due to in adequate perfusion some cells get trapped among tissue spaces. Although normal lymphocytes reenter into circulation leukemic lymphocytes are thought to remain entrapped owing to reduced mobility and form secondary metastasis. Cell surface, transmembrane interactions, cytoskeleton and level of cell differentiation are implicated in lymphocyte mobility. An attempt has been made to correlate ultrastructural information with quantitative data obtained by Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV). TEM of normal & leukemic lymphocytes revealed heterogeneity in cell populations ranging from well differentiated (Fig. 1) to poorly differentiated cells (Fig. 2). Unlike other cells, surface extensions in differentiated lymphocytes appear to originate by extrusion of large vesicles in to extra cellular space (Fig. 3). This results in persistent unevenness on lymphocyte surface which occurs due to a phenomenon different from that producing surface extensions in other cells.

Background: High-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) is likely to cause a number of side effects and manifest itself as hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, mucositis, and neurotoxicity. A several studies demonstrated the efficacy of extracorporeal detoxification methods such as plasma exchange, hemodialysis (HD), HD filtration, and hemoperfusion for the treatment of MTX delayed clearance. However, none of the existing methods as effective as expected and limited for general implementation due to a procedure-related complication. Case Report: Here, we report a successful implementation of HA-230 hemoadsorption procedure to remove cumulated MTX from the body and reduce its toxicity in a child with ALL after high-dose chemotherapy. Results and Conclusion: Based on our results, single-hemoadsorption procedure with the HA-230 adsorber in case of delayed methotrexate clearance was safe and well-tolerated in a pediatric patient with ALL and would significantly improve the patient’s condition. Further studies need to demonstrate its safety and efficacy in a large number of pediatric patients.
