血清白蛋白对晚期卵巢癌

新辅助化疗联合中间性肿瘤细胞减灭术给不适合初次肿瘤细胞减灭术的晚期卵巢癌患者带来新的希望,但术前筛选恰当的患者予以新辅助化疗是妇科肿瘤医生的一大挑战。低白蛋白血症是卵巢癌初次肿瘤细胞减灭术术后并发症高发的独立危险因素之一。本文将就低白蛋白血症对卵巢癌新辅助化疗加中间性肿瘤细胞减灭术（neoadjuvant chemotherapy & interval debulking surgery,NACT IDS）治疗模式的影响进行综述。     

晚期卵巢癌术前新辅助化疗的临床研究

目的探讨新辅助化疗对晚期卵巢癌的临床意义。方法①对56例Ⅲc、Ⅳ期上皮性卵巢癌采用新辅助化疗,肿瘤细胞减灭术加以铂类和（或）紫杉醇为主的化疗组（A组）：术前给予1～3个疗程以铂类和（或）紫杉醇为主的化疗,途径为静脉＋腹腔或静脉化疗,每3周1次,56例患者共施行新辅助化疗109次;②49例Ⅲc、Ⅳ期上皮性卵巢癌传统肿瘤细胞减灭术加以铂类和（或）紫杉醇为主的化疗组（B组）;A,B两组均按卵巢癌手术原则行最大限度减瘤术,部分患者进行腹膜后淋巴清扫,术后1周左右开始化疗,均采用联合化疗6～8个疗程,方案和剂量同新辅助化疗。结果A组新辅助化疗总有效率（CR＋PR）为85.7%,胸、腹水控制有效率为93.6%。A组满意肿瘤细胞减灭术（术后残瘤最大直径〈2cm）80.4%,减瘤术（术后残瘤最大直径≥2cm）19.6%;B组满意肿瘤细胞减灭术51.0%,减瘤术49.0%,两组比较有显著性差异（P〈0.01）,A组缩短了手术时间,减少手术出血,为术后化疗创造了有利条件,新辅助化疗毒副反应轻,可以耐受。5年生存率A组为35.7%,B组为15.6%,两组比较有显著性差异（P〈0.05）。结论新辅助化疗有可能为晚期上皮性卵巢癌患者创造手术条件,提高达到满意肿瘤细胞减灭术,改善生存质量,提高生存率。     

卵巢癌术前新辅助化疗筛选与评估的展望

卵巢癌是妇科恶性肿瘤致死率最高的肿瘤。肿瘤细胞减灭术辅以术后铂类为主的联合化疗是目前公认的卵巢癌标准治疗方案。但对于就诊时已属晚期且伴发高危疾病,无法直接手术的患者,术前的新辅助化疗（ Neoadjuvant chemotherapy ,NACT）的应用显示出了优越性,并得到了临床医生的肯定且已应用于晚期恶性肿瘤的治疗中。值得探讨的是：哪些患者在初次治疗时宜选用新辅助化疗,而不是直接行肿瘤细胞减灭术。本文对近年来的相关研究进行了归纳总结,希望对临床医生的决策有所帮助。     

卵巢癌的初始治疗

 卵巢癌的首次治疗直接关系患者预后。早期卵巢癌（EOC）手术效果良好,化疗似无必要。但对高危EOC患者,术后化疗是有意义的。对于晚期患者,理想的细胞减灭术是治疗的基石。术前估计不能达到理想减灭术者,应先行新辅助化疗,然后再手术。卡铂和紫杉醇联合化疗已成为卵巢癌化疗的首选方案。     

新辅助化疗联合肿瘤细胞减灭术及术后腹腔热灌注化疗治疗晚期卵巢癌的疗效观察

  目的   探讨新辅助化疗联合肿瘤细胞减灭术及术后腹腔热灌注治疗晚期卵巢癌的临床疗效。   方法   分析郑州人民医院从2009年4月至2012年7月收治的60例晚期卵巢癌的患者,分为两组,研究组患者术前采取新辅助化疗联合肿瘤细胞减灭术及术后腹腔热灌注辅助化疗2次（顺铂80 mg）,术后给予TC/TP方案化疗,对照组采取常规肿瘤细胞减灭术+术后TC/TP方案化疗,比较两组患者在手术时间、出血量、腹水量、术后化疗疗程、疗效、复发与死亡、生存率等数据的差异。   结果   研究组患者在术中的各项疗效指标优于对照组,且有统计学显著性差异（P < 0.05）,临床治疗有效率高于对照组。   结论   在临床上对于晚期卵巢癌患者采取术前新辅助化疗联合肿瘤细胞减灭术术后腹腔热灌注辅助化疗,对于患者的疗效较常规的方法有较大的提高,值得在临床上进行推广。      

晚期卵巢癌新辅助化疗探讨

卵巢癌是目前死亡率较高的妇科肿瘤之一。由于发病隐匿,约70％的患者确诊时已属晚期…。如何才能有效实施满意的细胞减灭术,已成为广大妇科肿瘤医师探讨的热点话题。1982年,Frei提出的新辅助化疗（neoadjuvantchem—otherapy,NACT）通过提前化疗降低肿瘤负荷,提高减瘤的成功率,成为晚期卵巢癌的一种新的治疗策略。我院自2003年1月至2008年12月以来,共实施了41例晚期卵巢癌初次肿瘤细胞减灭术（primarydebulkingsurgery,PDS）前的新辅助化疗,临床效果满意,现报告如下。     

卵巢癌的新辅助化疗与间隔减瘤术

在过去10年中,晚期卵巢癌的新辅助化疗和间隔减瘤术一直是人们关注的焦点,全文回顾了近年来的有关文献,认为对于那些预计首次手术无法切除的晚期卵巢癌,由于缺乏随机对照研究证实新辅助化疗能够改善生存,尚不能作为常规治疗手段来使用。同时,探讨了欧洲和美国的两项有关卵巢癌间隔减瘤术的随机对照研究。     

Ringworm in animals in a farm in Assiut

Bericht über das Auftreten von Hautmykosen bei Tieren auf der Farm der Landwirtschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität Assiut. Von 70 Kälbern waren 42 pilzkrank, davon 22 durch T. mentagrophytes, 20 durch T. verrucosum. Von 180 Kühen waren 8 pilzbefalien, sämtlich durch T. mentagrophytes. Von 2 kranken Bullen wurde T. verrucosum isoliert. Auch die 3 Pferde und 2 Maultiere der Farm waren pilzinfiziert; Erreger war in diesen Fällen T. equinum. Auch ein Kalb war von T. equinum befallen. Die gleiche Pilzart wurde ferner von 3 Tierpflegern isoliert, die Pilzherde am Hals und an den Armen aufwiesen.     

Statistical challenges in preprocessing in microarray experiments in cancer

Many clinical studies incorporate genomic experiments to investigate the potential associations between high-dimensional molecular data and clinical outcome. A critical first step in the statistical analyses of these experiments is that the molecular data are preprocessed. This article provides an overview of preprocessing methods, including summary algorithms and quality control metrics for microarrays. Some of the ramifications and effects that preprocessing methods have on the statistical results are illustrated. The discussions are centered around a microarray experiment based on lung cancer tumor samples with survival as the clinical outcome of interest. The procedures that are presented focus on the array platform used in this study. However, many of these issues are more general and are applicable to other instruments for genome-wide investigation. The discussions here will provide insight into the statistical challenges in preprocessing microarrays used in clinical studies of cancer. These challenges should not be viewed as inconsequential nuisances but rather as important issues that need to be addressed so that informed conclusions can be drawn.     

Trends in zygomycosis in children

Zygomycosis, or mucormycosis, is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in both children and adults. Studies in adults have shown an increase in the incidence of zygomycosis, particularly among haemtopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients and patients with haematologic malignancies. There is a paucity of data on the epidemiology of zygomycosis in children. We performed a retrospective analysis to describe trends in zygomycosis between 1 January 2003 and 31 December 2010. We used the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) database to identify paediatric patients who were diagnosed with zygomycosis during the study period. Administrative data on diagnoses, demographics, underlying conditions and clinical experiences were collected. Summary statistics were calculated and tests for trend were conducted. We identified 156 unique patients with zygomycosis. The prevalence of zygomycosis did not significantly increase over time (P=0.284). The most common underlying condition was malignancy (58%) and over half received intensive care. Voriconazole utilisation among all hospitalised children significantly increased during the period (P=0.010). Our study demonstrates that the incidence of zygomycosis is not significantly increasing. During the time period there was a significant increase in the use of voriconazole among children.     

Hemoglobin in lymphogranulomatosis in children

The peculiarities of hemoglobin content and properties in lymphogranulomatosis were studied in children by different methods. In most patients the content of fetal hemoglobin and methhemoglobin was found to increase and the rate of ferricyanide oxidation of hemoglobin also increases. Simultaneously, the rate of non-homogenicity of basic hemoglobin fractions was observed to increase on account of immunologically different components.     

Dermatomycosis in Goats in India

Summary: In an extensive survey involving 2176 goats 1.56% of goats manifested clinical lesions of ringworm infection. Animals below the age of 6 months were affected most (4.20%). The incidence of infection was higher during the winter months. T. verrucosum, T. mentagrophytes and M. gypseum were isolated from the skin scrapings of 12, 4, and 2 goats respectively. It is suggested that the infected animals could be a source of disease to human population in which the zoophilic dermatophyte invasion is characterized by severe inflammatory lesions of the skin. The zoonotic importance of different dermatophytes is stressed.
Zusammenfassung: In einer ausgedehnten Untersuchung an 2176 Ziegen wurden bei 1,56% klinische Zeichen einer Hautmykose festgestellt. Tiere, die jühger als 6 Monate alt waren, zeigten mit 4,20% am häfigsten Krankheitssymptome. In den Wintermonaten war die Erkrankungshäufigkeit am gröBten. T. vermcosum, T. mentagrophytes and M. gypseum wurden jeweils von 12,4 bzw. 2 Ziegen isoliert. Die inflzierten Tiere köinnen eine Infektionsquelle für die menschliche Bevölkerung darstellen und dort Mykosen mit stark entzündlichen Veränderungen auslösen. Die Bedeutung verschiedener Dermatophyten als Erreger von Zoonosen wird hervorgehoben.     

Sex hormones in women in rural China and in Britain

Plasma concentrations of certain hormones linked to breast cancer risk were measured in age-pooled samples from 3,250 rural Chinese women in 65 counties, and 300 British women, all aged 35-64. In age-groups 35-44, 45-54 and 55-64 respectively, mean oestradiol concentrations were 36% (P = 0.043), 90% (P less than 0.001) and 171% (P = 0.001) higher in the British than in the Chinese women, and mean testosterone concentrations were 48% (P less than 0.001), 68% (P less than 0.001) and 53% (P = 0.001) higher in the British than in the Chinese women. The difference in testosterone concentrations between the two countries appeared to be due largely to the lower average body weight in the Chinese women. Sex hormone binding globulin did not differ significantly between the two countries in age groups 35-44 and 45-54, but was 15% (P = 0.002) lower in the British than in the Chinese women at ages 55-64. Prolactin concentrations did not differ significantly between the two countries in any age group.     

Temozolomide treatment in glioma--experiences in two university hospitals in Finland

Thirty-two patients with relapsing glioma were treated with temozolomide in two university hospitals in Finland. One patient (3%) had complete response and 9 (28%) partial response, with 8 patients (25%) showing stable disease. Median progression-free survival for these 18 patients (56%) was 7 months (range 2-11+). The remaining either had progressive disease (25%) or only clinical evaluation (19%). Karnofsky score improved in 34% of patients and decreased in 3%. Symptoms were alleviated in 44% and deteriorated in 9%. Grade 3-4 toxicity was detected in 9% of the patients. Only 4% of the days in treatment were spent in hospital. An average 1.8 neuroradiological investigations, 6.9 laboratory visits, and 5.3 visits to the oncologist were made. This study confirms that temozolomide has positive effects on the outcome of often heavily pretreated glioma patients. High drug costs are compensated by prolonged home care and even the possibility to maintain working capacity.
