Outcome of reduced-intensity allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for multiple myeloma.

abstract：:Previous studies have suggested that an increase in mitochondrial reactive oxygen species may cause organ damage in patients with light-chain (AL) amyloidosis; however, this damage can be decreased by antioxidant-agent treatment. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the major natural catechin in green tea, has potent anti...

We measured the serum levels of total MBP, using an ELISA that detects both pro-MBP and M...
