Oftalmoplejía completa izquierda por metástasis ósea de cáncer de próstata

Prognosis in prostate cancer is determined, in greater part, by the presence of metastases. Bone metastases can occur in any part of the skeleton even, for example, at the base of the skull. We present a case of a 78 year old male who, in December 2001, presented with paralysis of the third cranial nerve. The NMR and CAT scans were normal and circulating levels of PSA were elevated. He was referred to the Urology Service where the treatment guidelines included complete androgen block. Subsequently, he developed retro-orbital pain, divergent strabismus and palpebral ptosis. CAT and NMR indicated a soft tissue mass at the sphenoid level. Treatment was Gamma Knife Radio-surgery. Since August 2004, in conjunction with the latest rise in PSA, the patient's general status deteriorated considerably and he was referred to the Oncology Service. there was an increase in the paralysis of the third, fourth and sixth cranial nerve (complete left ophthalmoplegia) and left-central facial paralysis. Metastases from prostate cancer can be disseminated via the lymphatic or the blood system. Currently, there are more metastases from large-size tumours. Metastases are critical in prostate cancer because of their adverse effect on the patient's survival. Measurements of circulating levels of prostate specific antigen and prostate acid phosphatase are very useful in the clinical diagnosis of the primary tumour, or its metastases.     

Análisis coste-efectividad de samario-153 (Quadramet®) en el tratamiento del dolor en pacientes con cáncer de próstata y metástasis óseas

Objective. To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of samarium [¹⁵³Sm-EDTMP] (Quadramet®) compared to conventional therapy in the treatment of pain in patients with prostate cancer and bone metastases. Method. A decision tree model for the treatment of bone pain due to metastases was adapted to the Spanish context. The model represents the standard treatment patterns in Spain for the study population. The time-course of the model is 4 months and it computes an estimate for the cost of pain control per patient. The effectiveness data for the model derive from a randomised trial. The current treatment patterns have been established according to the consensus opinions of a group of medical experts. Results. The cost of pain control per patient is ? 12,515.39 for conventional therapy and ? 5,595.52 for samarium-153 (Quadramet®) therapy. The incremental cost-effectiveness analysis shows that samarium-153 (Quadramet®) is a dominant therapy. It presents lower costs and higher efficacy than the conventional strategy. The sensitivity analyses showed these results to be robust. Conclusion. Samarium-153 (Quadramet®) is costeffective in treating pain in patients with prostate cancer and bone metastases.

目的:对比血瘀证组和对照组巴马小型猪眼底视网膜血管血氧饱和度,探讨血瘀证候模型小型猪眼底视网膜血管血氧饱和度的改变。方法:12只小型猪,随机分为血瘀证组6只和对照组6只,正常喂养7d后进行眼底视网膜血管血氧饱和度检测并进行血液生化指标基线检测。第8d,血瘀证组耳缘静脉给予10%高分子右旋糖酐溶液5mL/kg,隔日1次,共7次;对照组正常饲养。第21d,再次检测2组眼底视网膜血管血氧饱和度及血液生化指标并进行统计分析。实验结束后分别摘除2组小型猪眼球,用于做视网膜切片和视网膜消化铺片并对其结果进行分析。结果:血瘀证候模型建立后,血液指标FIB、PT、APTT较前降低(P<0.05),TT较前出现升高(P<0.05);ESR、血浆黏度、红细胞压积、红细胞变形指数、红细胞聚集指数升高(P<0.05);全血还原黏度升高(P<0.05)。本实验初步评估了巴马小型猪眼底视网膜血管血氧饱和度,其视网膜静脉血氧饱和度范围大致为(74.67±6.12)%,动脉血氧饱和度大致范围为(110.91±8.52)%。与对照组相比,血瘀证组小型猪SvO2、鼻上SvO2、颞侧SvO2值降低(P<0.05),鼻下SvO2值明显降低(P<0.01),颞侧SaO2值降低(P<0.05),SaO2-SvO2、SaO2/SvO2均升高(P<0.05)。视网膜切片HE结果及视网膜消化铺片结果显示,血瘀证组巴马小猪视网膜神经纤维层厚度增加,轻度水肿,内皮细胞计数及周细胞计数降低(P<0.05)。结论:高分子右旋糖酐溶液建立血瘀证候动物模型,引起红细胞聚集,血液黏稠度增高,血流缓慢,造成微循环缺氧状态,对视网膜静脉血氧饱和度的影响比视网膜动脉血氧饱和度更加明显。

Potential advantages of a combination of Chinese Medicine and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation for removing blood stasis and stimulating neogenesis during ischemic stroke treatment

Combined treatment of ischemic stroke with Chinese medicine and exogenous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) transplantation may improve the removal of blood stasis and stimulation of neogenesis.Chinese medicines that remove blood stasis not only promote blood circulation but also calm the endopathic wind,remove heat,resolve phlegm,remove toxic substances and strengthen body resistance.The medicinal targeting effect of Chinese medicine can promote the homing of BMSCs,and the synergistic therapeutic effects of drugs can contribute to BMSC differentiation.As such,exogenous BMSC transplantation has potential advantages for neogenesis.Chinese medicines and exogenous BMSCs provide complementary functions for the removal of blood stasis and stimulation of neogenesis.Therefore,a combination of Chinese medicine and transplantation of exogenous BMSCs may be particularly suited to ischemic stroke treatment.
