For the last three months he has been feeling weaker and more fatigued than usual; his weight dropped from 170 to 155 pounds. Xin’s blood was drawn and testing was conducted. His hematocrit was 45% and white-blood cell count was 2,500 white-blood cells/mm3, with the differential showing neutrophils 65%, lymphocytes 25%, monocytes 10%. A biopsy was taken of one of the discolored lesions and grown in cell culture. After three days of growth the cells were confirmed as coming from malignant cancerous tissue. A magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the area around the skin lesions on Xin’s inner thigh revealed enlarged lymph nodes, a sign of potential metastasis.

- CLINICAL CASE STUDY: A 65-year-old woman recently discharged from the hospital following a myocardial infarction (heart attack) returns to the hospital emergency room complaining of the sudden onset of pain in her right lower extremity. The attending physician noticed that the patient leg is also pale and cool from the knee distally. Furthermore, he is unable to detect a pulse over the posterior dorsal pedal and popliteal arteries. A good femoral pulse, however, is palpable in the inguinal region. Upon questioning, the patient states that she was discharged from the hospital with blood- thinning medication because tests had revealed that the heart attack had caused a blood clot to form within her heart. She added that the doctors were worried that a piece of the clot could break off and go to other parts of the body. QUESTIONS: 1.

"The successful use of gene therapy to cure SCID syndrome (2000) is hoped to be a permanent cure for those patients because a good copy of the problem gene was inserted into the patients' blood stem cells in the bone marrow (hematopoietic stem cells). Once white blood cells enter the blood stream they have a limited life span, on the order of a few week to months. The blood stem cells are the cells that create more white blood cells to replace those that are lost. If the gene was only inserted into the circulating mature white blood cells, the patient would only be temporarily cured until those cells were used up or died." The current gene therapy approaches to cure CF involve inserting a functional CFTR gene into the mature epithelial cells of the lungs.
