In the last years, the development of immunophenotypic and molecular analyses allowed to recognize several cases of hybrid acute leukemia (AL), whose blast cell display both lymphoid and myeloid features. Hybrid, or mixed-lineage, AL seems to have distinct clinical manifestations and hematological findings, and is mainly characterized by resistance to chemotherapy and poor prognosis. We report on a patient with AL, which showed a very rapid switch from the lymphoblastic phenotype exhibited at presentation to a myelomonoblastic one, appeared at first relapse, and lastly progressed to an undifferentiated leukemia in the terminal phase. Together with this morphologic and cytochemical evolution, leukemic cells expressed, besides the primary early-B antigens, new immunological markers related to T-lymphocytic and myeloid lineages. Based on this observation and current understanding of the ontogenesis of hematologic malignancies, we discuss biological mechanisms which are likely to underlie hybrid leukemia.

Elevated blood cholesterol (above the 95 degrees percentile) was found in three of thirty-one children with psoriasis, as in adult subjects with psoriasis. Therefore a steadily evaluation of lipids pattern is suggested for patients with psoriasis, even children, in order to start an appropriate management.

Sixty-nine patients (mean age 49 +/- 13 years), affected by primary hypercholesterolemia (65 type IIa and 4 type IIb), were treated for 2 years with 12 gr/day cholestyramine subdivided in two doses. Total serum cholesterol decreased from 353 (sd 66) mg/dl to 291 (sd 62) mg/dl (p less than 0.001) at the third month active treatment remaining thereafter constant. Overall, LDL-cholesterol reduced by 30% in cases with a familial form of the metabolic disorder, by 27% and 30% in those with polygenic or indefinite hypercholesterolemia, respectively. HDL-cholesterol remained unchanged during the study whereas serum triglycerides tended toward an increase. The frequency of reported side effects ranged between 11% and 23% of cases. Mostly they were constipation and abdominal discomfort which, however, did not cause a definitive discontinuation of the resin. The favourable side effect profile and the efficacy confirmed that low-dose cholestyramine represents the first choice drug for hypercholesterolemia.
