DNA损伤在衰老相关疾病中的研究进展

DNA损伤是衰老相关疾病领域的研究热点, 可引起细胞周期停滞、凋亡, 加快个体衰老速度、增加衰老相关疾病的患病风险。本文将从细胞衰老和个体衰老两个层面阐述其与衰老之间的研究进展, 并综述其与衰老常见相关疾病(肿瘤、心血管疾病、阿尔茨海默病)及早衰综合征的关系, 为抗衰老研究和临床干预衰老相关疾病提供理论依据。

Interpretation,pitfalls of biomarkers in diagnosis of invasive fungal diseases

BackgroundInvasive Fungal Diseases (IFD), account for high morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised and seriously ill patients worldwide. Early, faster and accurate diagnosis with timely and appropriate patient management is critical for improved patient outcome and antifungal stewardship. Clinical/radiological presentations in IFD are non-specific and microscopy/culture based tests have low sensitivity and long turnaround time. Biomarkers have clinical utility for diagnosing IFD but their interpretation is not straight forward.ObjectivesThis review discusses the salient characteristics, clinical usefulness and limitations of common biomarkers such as Galactomannan (GM), 1–3, β D glucan (βDG), mannan, anti-mannan antibody (Mn/antiMn), Cryptococcal antigen test (CrAg), Nucleic Acid Amplification (NAA) tests and next generation sequencing for diagnosing IFD.ContentsFungal biomarkers are useful adjuncts as screening and diagnostic tools for IFD and are much more suited for ‘ruling out’ rather than ‘ruling in’ disease. GM, NAA tests are promising biomarkers for screening of invasive Aspergillosis in high risk asymptomatic patients who are not on antifungal therapy and for diagnosis of breakthrough infections in symptomatic patients. 1–3, β D glucan has limitations both as a ‘rule in’ and ‘rule out’ test and is useful in only specific clinical settings. Two consecutive positive 1-3-βDG tests or combined positivity with GM increases its specificity. Mn/antiMn, T2Candida nano diagnostic panel are promising candidates for diagnosing invasive candidiasis. Combining two or more biomarkers improves the sensitivity for prompt initiation of antifungal therapy and the negative predictive value for suspension of empirical treatment.Serum CrAg test is a good ‘rule in’ rather than a ‘rule out’ test in immunocompetent patients but has good diagnostic accuracy in immunocompromised patients. Detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms by next generation sequencing is useful for fungal characterization and identification of host determinants responsible for increased susceptibility to fungal infections but is still in experimental stages.     

Recurrent aseptic liver abscesses in a patient with Crohn’s disease: True infection or a Crohn’s flare?

A liver abscess is identified as a rare extraintestinal manifestation of Crohn’s disease, with an incidence of approximately 150 in 100,000 patients with this condition. In many of these patients, infectious causes are identified, and the patient’s condition is often noted to improve with antibiotics. An aseptic abscess (AA) is an increasingly recognized entity, especially in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, where repetitive evaluations to identify the infectious cause are futile. The average age of diagnosis for an AA is 29 years. The most common site is the spleen, followed by the lymph nodes and then the liver. In this study, we present a unique case of extensive aseptic liver abscesses extending into the pleural cavity in a young patient with Crohn’s disease.     

术前SCC与CYFRA21-1在肺鳞癌患者表达上调及临床意义

目的 分析术前SCC、CYFRA21-1与肺鳞癌临床病理特征、预后之间的关系。方法 收集2017年3月~2018年4月在云南省肿瘤医院确诊的肺鳞癌患者100例为观察组，确诊为肺良性肿瘤患者90名为肺良性肿瘤组、以及正常人群90名为健康人群组。通过电化学发光法对SCC、CYFRA21-1两种指标进行检测。检测SCC、CYFRA21-1含量，分析在肺鳞癌中表达的临床意义。结果 SCC、CYFRA21-1在肺鳞癌中比在肺良性肿瘤、健康人群中含量要高，差异有统计学意义（P＜0.001），并且敏感性均高于其他两组；男性患者的SCC、CYFRA21-1含量高于女性患者，差异具有统计学意义（P＜0.05）；SCC、CYFRA21-1含量在年龄≥60岁的含量高于＜60岁患者，差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）；有吸烟史患者的SCC含量高于无吸烟史患者，差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）。CYFRA21-1在吸烟史患者中高表达，差异有统计学意义（P＜0.05）；SCC、CYFRA21-1在有淋巴结转移、远处转移、肿瘤直径≥5 cm、病理分期为晚期时高表达，差异具有统计学意义（P＜0.05）；SCC、CYFRA21-1阳性患者OS、PFS比阴性患者短；SCC、CYFRA21-1两者之间呈正相关,相关系数（r）为0.630。结论 SCC、CYFRA21-1在肺鳞癌中表达上调；SCC、CYFRA21-1与性别之间存在某种内在联系；SCC、CYFRA21-1与肺鳞癌的TNM分期呈正相关；SCC、CYFRA21-1阳性患者OS、PFS比阴性患者短；SCC、CYFRA21-1两者之间呈正相关,相关系数（r）为0.630。
