title: [Leukemia associated with bimkolane].
abstract: Psoriatic patients and mice treated with bimolane were observed. The frequency of chromosomes aberration and micro-nuclear cells presence in the treated group (11 cases) was significantly higher than that in the control group (11 cases, P < 0.005; < 0.001). Study of lymphocytic subsets showed that value of CD4/CD8 in the peripheral blood of the treated group was lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The level of serum IgM in the treated group was also lower (P < 0.05). There were 10 mice suffering from leukemia (7 mice with acute promyelocytic leukemia) in a treated group of 40 mice of an inbred line of 615 mice, while there was no leukemia in a control group of 20 mice of the same species. The morbidity of leukemia in the treated mice was higher than that of controls (P < 0.05).
