Thyroid diseases associated with interferon α treatment for viral hepatitis

There are many complications during the interferon alpha (IFNα) treatment for viral hep-atitis,and thyroid disease is the most common side-effect in endocrine aspects. Thus, clinicians are drawing much attention to the interferon induced thyroiditis (IIT). Though the etiology is not clear,some factors may contribute to the susceptibility to IIT, such as genetic predisposition, gender,and hepatitis C virus (HCV) in-fection. The pathogenesis may be secondary to immune modulation by IFNα and/or by its direct effects on the thyroid. Autoimmune IIT may manifest as Graves' disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis and the development of thyroid antibodies without clinical symptoms. Non-autoimmune IIT can manifest as destructive thyroiditis or hypothyroidism with negative thyroid antibodies. Screening for autoantibodies and serum thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH)is recommended before, during and after IFNα treatment. Early detection and therapy of these conditions is important.

Hypertension in Jordanian children: a retrospective analysis of 70 cases

Seventy patients, aged 1–20 years, were seen at Jordan University Hospital with high blood pressure (BP) over a 3-year period. BP values ranged from 140 to 230 mmHg for systolic pressure and from 90 to 130 mmHg for diastolic pressure. Essential hypertension was seen in only 6 patients (8.6%); secondary hypertension (n=64 or 91.4%) was due to renal parenchymal diseases (RPD) in 46 patients (65.7%), reno-vascular lesions in 8 (11.4%), renal transplantation in 5 (7.2%), teenage pregnancy in 4 (5.7%), and phaeochromocytoma in 1 patient (1.4%). The aetiologies of RPD were as follows: end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis in 14 patients, acute glomerulonephritis in 14, idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in 10, chronic renal insufficiency in 5, and polycystic kidney in 3 patients. Surgical cure of hypertension was achieved in 5 of the children with reno-vascular lesions and in the patient with phaeochromocytoma.

离体牙上釉珠的观测与临床意义

本文从12379枚离体牙上观测了釉珠的发生率、发生部位、形态、直径大小。结果釉珠的发生率为2.49％,以上颌第三磨牙发生率最高,下颌第一磨牙次之。最常发生的部位是在冠颈部的根分叉处,上颌磨牙的釉珠多呈园形,下颌磨牙釉珠多呈梭形。釉珠最大直径为3.2mm,最小为0.5mm,平均为1.56mm。结合文献认为釉珠是一种牙齿形态发育异常,它对牙周病的发生、发展、治疗与预后有重要影响,口腔科医师对这种牙齿形态变异应予以重视。     

Factors influencing the variations of ejection fraction during exercise in chronic aortic regurgitation

The influence of left ventricular volume variations and regurgitant fraction variations upon left ventricular ejection fraction, during exercise was examined using equilibrium radionuclide angiography in patients suffering from aortic regurgitation. Ejection fraction (EF), regurgitant fraction (RF), end diastolic volume (EDV) and end systolic volume (ESV) variations from rest to peak exercise were determined in 44 patients suffering from chronic aortic regurgitation (AR) and in 8 healthy volunteers (C). In C, EF increased (+0.10±0.03, P<0.01) and ESV decreased significantly (-23%±12%, P<0.01) RF and EDV did not vary significantly. In AR patients, EF, EDV and ESV did not vary significantly because of important scattering of individual values. Changes in EF and ESV were inversely correlated (r=-0.79, P<0.01) and RF decreased significantly (-0.12±0.10, P<0.01). Volumes and EF changes during exercise occurred in three different ways. In a 1st subgroup of 7 patients, EF increased (+0.09±0.03, P<0.05) in conjunction with a reduction of ESV (-24%±12%, P<0.05) without a significant change in EDV. In a 2nd group of 22 patients. EF decreased (-0.04±0.07, P<0.01) in association with an increase in ESV (+17%±16%, P<0.01) and no change in EDV. In a 3rd subgroup of 15 patients, EF decreased (-0.02±0.06, P<0.01) despite a reduction in ESV (-7%±6%, P<0.01) because of a dramatic EDV decrease (-10%±6%, P<0.05). In this subgroup, changes in EF were inversely correlated with changes in ESV (r=-0.55, P<0.01) and positively related to EDV variations (r=0.42, P=0.02). EDV related to EDV variations (r=0.42, P=0.02). EDV changes were weakly, but significantly, correlated to RF decrease (r=0.39, P<0.05). We conclude that changes in left ventricular ejection fraction during exercise in patients with chronic aortic regurgitation are significantly related in some patients to changes in ventricular loading conditions as well as contractile state. Therefore, a correct interpretation of EF changes during exercise requires the simultaneous determination of changes in LV volumes.Abbreviations EDV end diastolic volume - EF ejection fraction - ESV end systolic volume - LV left ventricle - RV right ventricle
