Journal Article
TL;DR: In this case study, splenectomy has proved the most satisfactory (87% of positive results) thus representing, in the opinion, the only effective therapy for resistant or relapsed case.
Abstract: One hundred and two patients with newly diagnosed autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura (ATP) were treated with prednisone (1.5-2 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks). A favourable response, lasting more then 12 months, was obtained in 22,5% of the cases. Different therapeutic strategies, such as immunosuppressive drugs, high dose immunoglobulins, splenectomy and others, were applied in unresponsive or relapsed patients. In our case study, splenectomy has proved the most satisfactory (87% of positive results) thus representing, in our opinion, the only effective therapy for resistant or relapsed case.

TL;DR: The findings show that the reduction of NK activity in neoplastic patients is not an irreversible phenomenon since it can be restored by "in vitro" AL administration, important for the adoptive immunotherapy by which the patients could give LAK cells to the patients.
Abstract: In the present study we observed the absolute number of NK cells and the NK activity in 10 patients with cervical cancer. NK activity was determined before and after stimulation with Active Lipids. We reported a significant decrease of basal NK activity, but after AL stimulation NK activity was increased with statistical significance. Therefore our findings show that the reduction of NK activity in neoplastic patients is not an irreversible phenomenon since it can be restored by "in vitro" AL administration. This is important for the adoptive immunotherapy by which we could give LAK cells to the patients.
