Direct insertion of an ultra‐slim upper endoscope for cholangioscopy in patients undergoing choledochoduodenostomy

Direct peroral cholangioscopy (POC) using an ultra‐slim upper endoscope is one modality of POC for intraductal endoscopic evaluation and treatment of the bile duct. Choledochoduodenostomy (CDS) is one modality of biliary bypass surgery that provides a new route to the bile duct. We carried out direct POC using an ultra‐slim upper endoscope without the use of accessories in 10 patients (four sump syndromes, three bile duct strictures and three intrahepatic duct stones) previously undergoing surgical CDS. Direct POC was successful in all patients. The use of an intraductal balloon catheter was required in one patient for advancement of the endoscope into the bile duct. Distal bile ducts with sump syndromes were cleared using baskets and water irrigation under direct POC. Cholangiocarcinoma was diagnosed in one patient with hilar bile duct stricture after cholangioscopic evaluation and a targeting forceps biopsy under direct POC. Intrahepatic duct stones were successfully extracted after intraductal fragmentation under direct POC. Oozing bleeding occurred during intraductal lithotripsy but stopped spontaneously. Direct POC using an ultra‐slim upper endoscope without the assistance of accessories can easily be carried out in patients undergoing CDS.

Biomarkers on patient T cells diagnose active tuberculosis and monitor treatment response

BACKGROUND. The identification and treatment of individuals with tuberculosis (TB) is a global public health priority. Accurate diagnosis of pulmonary active TB (ATB) disease remains challenging and relies on extensive medical evaluation and detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in the patient’s sputum. Further, the response to treatment is monitored by sputum culture conversion, which takes several weeks for results. Here, we sought to identify blood-based host biomarkers associated with ATB and hypothesized that immune activation markers on Mtb-specific CD4⁺ T cells would be associated with Mtb load in vivo and could thus provide a gauge of Mtb infection.METHODS. Using polychromatic flow cytometry, we evaluated the expression of immune activation markers on Mtb-specific CD4⁺ T cells from individuals with asymptomatic latent Mtb infection (LTBI) and ATB as well as from ATB patients undergoing anti-TB treatment.RESULTS. Frequencies of Mtb-specific IFN-γ⁺CD4⁺ T cells that expressed immune activation markers CD38 and HLA-DR as well as intracellular proliferation marker Ki-67 were substantially higher in subjects with ATB compared with those with LTBI. These markers accurately classified ATB and LTBI status, with cutoff values of 18%, 60%, and 5% for CD38⁺IFN-γ⁺, HLA-DR⁺IFN-γ⁺, and Ki-67⁺IFN-γ⁺, respectively, with 100% specificity and greater than 96% sensitivity. These markers also distinguished individuals with untreated ATB from those who had successfully completed anti-TB treatment and correlated with decreasing mycobacterial loads during treatment.CONCLUSION. We have identified host blood-based biomarkers on Mtb-specific CD4⁺ T cells that discriminate between ATB and LTBI and provide a set of tools for monitoring treatment response and cure.TRIAL REGISTRATION.

鼻咽癌组织中iNOS的表达与微血管密度计数的研究

目的探讨诱导型一氧化氮合酶(inducible nitric oxide synthase,iNOS)在鼻咽癌中的表达与鼻咽癌生物学行为的关系,探讨肿瘤血管生成与鼻咽癌生物学行为的关系,探讨iNOS的表达与鼻咽癌血管生成的关系。方法采用非生物素二步免疫组化法,检测iNOS在鼻咽癌组织中表达,并根据CD34相关抗原标记血管内皮细胞。结果鼻咽癌组织中MVD显著高于慢性鼻咽炎组织(27.7±8.88 vs 9±3.1,P<0.05)。MVD与年龄、性别无关,临床分期Ⅲ、Ⅳ期组的MVD显著高于Ⅰ、Ⅱ期组(30.7±4.7 vs 22.2±7.5,P<0.05)。淋巴转移组MVD显著高于淋巴结未转移组(29.6±4.8 vs 20.5±4.8,P<0.05)。iNOS在鼻咽癌组织中阳性表达率为56.25%,iNOS的表达与年龄、性别无关。临床分期Ⅲ、Ⅳ期组iNOS的阳性表达率为70.97%,显著高于Ⅰ、Ⅱ期组29.41%(P<0.05)。淋巴转移组iNOS的阳性表达率为65.79%,显著高于淋巴结未转移组20.00%(P<0.05)。iNOS阳性表达组的MVD显著高于iNOS阴性表达组(30.0±5.4 vs 24.0±6.0,P<0.05)。结论血管生成及iNOS的表达与鼻咽癌生物学行为关系密切。iNOS表达促进了鼻咽癌血管生成及颈淋巴结的转移。测定MVD及iNOS的表达有助于判断鼻咽癌的恶性程度及预后。
