Assessment of Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Status In Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at Diagnosis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Oxidative stress is an inevitable accompaniment in almost every disease process including cancer. As Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is a disease very much susceptible to oxidative stress, assessment of Plasma Malondialdehyde (MDA) and Erythrocyte Glutathione (GSH) levels are thought of as suitable parameters to detect oxidative stress and antioxidant status respectively in children with ALL. The purpose of the study was to assess the oxidative stress together with antioxidant defense by estimation of plasma MDA and erythrocyte GSH in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at diagnosis. Materials and methods: This prospective case-control study was conducted in the Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) in collaboration with the Department of Pharmacology, BSMMU from March 2019 to December 2021. Sixty two (62) children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia were recruited (Group-B) at diagnosis through purposive sampling and 20 control (Healthy children) were enrolled (Group-A). Plasma malondialdehyde and erythrocyte glutathione of these children (Group-A and Group-B) were estimated through spectro photometric measurements and results were compared between two groups of these two parameters by unpaired t-test. Results: The plasma malondialdehyde levels of Group-B were 3.28±0.40 mol/L (Means ±SD). Plasma malondialdehyde levels of Group-A were 1.17±0.57 mol/L. The difference was statistically significant (p=0.0001). Erythrocyte glutathione levels of group-B were 2.59±1.46mg/g (Means ±SD). On the contrary erythrocyte glutathione levels of group-A were 4.55±1.17mg/g. The difference was statistically significant (p=0004). These results evolve excess MDA production and GSH depletion in children with ALL. Conclusion: Observation from the study suggested that products of lipid per oxidation (MDA) in children with ALL remained at significantly higher (p=0.0001) at diagnosis. The study also x that malignancy induced stress, body’s endogenous antioxidant was being depleted in attempts to detoxify the products of oxidative injury. JCMCTA 2024; 35 (2) : 10-16

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
