The severe endothelial dysfunction in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) can result from the disease itself, from treatment, or from other conditions (e.g. sepsis). The aim of this study was to determine the levels of markers of endothelial activation in children with ALL and to assess their potential prognostic value. Fifty-two children with ALL, 19 children with ALL 1-10 years after the completion of therapy, and 28 healthy children were studied. In children with ALL, there was a significant increase in thrombomodulin (TM) and von Willebrand factor (vWF) levels during the acute phase of the disease and during treatment. Children with an unfavorable outcome had higher levels of TM. In conclusion, severe endothelial dysfunction is present during the acute phase of ALL and during treatment and appears to result from the disease itself. Serum TM and vWF levels might represent additional, but not independent, prognostic markers in childhood ALL. 相似文献

Background
Specific microanatomical characteristics of the trigeminal nerve root (TNR) blood supply and close neurovascular relationships with surrounding vessels as well as their possible clinical significance were the main reasons for this study. 相似文献4.

Detection of antinuclear (ANA) and antineutrophil cytoplasmic (ANCA) antibodies is extensively used for establishing a diagnosis in patients with clinical features suggestive of autoimmune disorders. The most common methods for the identification of positive patients' sera for ANA or ANCA are indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) and ELISA-based procedures. Considerable effort has been made in developing simpler automated assays for routine laboratory use. Recently a commercially available microsphere-based fluorescent assay has been introduced for the detection of ANA and ANCA. The aim of this study was to compare this technology with routinely used IIF and ELISA procedures, in patients with a suggested autoimmune disorder. A highly significant correlation between ELISA procedures for specific antibodies and the microsphere-based assays were obtained for both ANA and ANCA as well as for extractable nuclear antigens ELISA screening, indicating that multiplex technology could replace individual ELISA tests for the measurement of specific autoantibodies. However, a low sensitivity for identifying IIF-positive cases was obtained for both ANA (58.0%) and ANCA (59.1%), although there was a significant correlation between the assays. In conclusion, our data show that a microsphere-based fluorescent assay may be a valid platform for the simultaneous determination of circulating individual ANA and ANCA autoantibodies. Furthermore, multiplexing technology offers several advantages that will probably make it an attractive tool in the future. Nevertheless, until further studies are conducted that determine the clinical performance of the multiplex technology, the initial screening of patients for autoantibodies with IIF is still considered necessary. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To provide updated outcome data (10 years) of a Phase II study of combined surgery, postoperative radiotherapy, and adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with anaplastic oligodendroglioma and oligoastrocytoma. METHODS AND MATERIALS: In 23 adult patients, surgery, postoperative radiotherapy (60 Gy in 30 daily fractions within 6 weeks), and adjuvant modified chemotherapy (procarbazine 60 mg/m(2) on Days 1-14, lomustine 100 mg/m(2) on Day 1, and vincristine 1.4 mg/m(2) [maximum 2 mg] on Days 1 and 8) were administered every 6 weeks for up to six cycles or until progression occurred. RESULTS: The median follow-up was 116 months for all patients. The median survival time was 118 months, and the 5-year and 10-year survival rate was 57% and 47%, respectively. The median time to tumor progression was 78 months, with a 5-year and 10-year progression-free survival rate of 52% and 39%, respectively. Gender, age, Karnofsky performance status, location, and histologic type did not influence survival. Patients with tumors 4 cm (p = 0.0470), as did those with total tumor resection compared with those with subtotal tumor resection or biopsy only (p = 0.0024). Gender, Karnofsky performance status, location, and histologic type did not influence progression-free survival, but younger age (p = 0.0389), smaller tumor size (p = 0.0357), and more radical surgery (p = 0.0033) correlated positively with it. Acute high-grade (Grade 3 or worse) chemotherapy-related toxicity was mainly hematologic, with 3 patients (13%) experiencing acute Grade 4 toxicity. CONCLUSION: The results of this 10-year update confirmed that the trimodality approach is effective in patients with anaplastic oligodendroglioma and oligoastrocytoma. 相似文献

Background
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) shows a better correlation to target organ damage and cardiovascular morbidity-mortality than office blood pressure. A loss of arterial elasticity and an increase in carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) has been associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity-mortality. Tools have been developed that allow estimation of the retinal arteriovenous index but not all studies coincide and there are contradictory results in relation to the evolution of the arteriosclerotic lesions and the caliber of the retinal vessels. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between peripheral and central arterial pressure (clinic and ambulatory) and vascular structure and function as evaluated by the carotid artery intima-media thickness, retina arteriovenous index, pulse wave velocity (PWV) and ankle-brachial index in patients with and without type 2 diabetes. In turn, software is developed and validated for measuring retinal vessel thickness and automatically estimating the arteriovenous index. 相似文献7.

Summary Between 1988 and 1991, eighty-six patients with glioblastoma multiforme were evaluated in order to define the influence of extent of surgery and tumor location on treatment outcome. Patients underwent surgery followed by postoperative hyperfractionated radiotherapy and chemotherapy delivered according to one of two consecutive protocols. Surgery consisted of biopsy in 25 (29%) patients and subtotal or gross total tumor resection in 61 (71%) patients. Frontally located tumors were noted in 26 (30%) patients and other tumor locations were noted in 60 (70%) patients. Patients having more radical surgery had longer median survival time (MST) and higher 1- and 2-year survival rates than those with biopsy only (56 vs 29 weeks, respectively; 62 % and 23 % vs 16% and 0%, respectively; p=0.00000). Patients having frontally located tumors had longer MST and higher 1- and 2-year survival rates than those with other tumor locations (101 vs 47 weeks, respectively; 76% and 44% vs 37% and 2.5%, respectively; p=0.00001). Multivariate analysis confirmed that extent of surgery and tumor location were independent prognostic factors in patients with glioblastoma multiforme. Regarding progression-free survival, patients having more radical surgery had longer median time to tumor progression (MTP) than those with biopsy only (33 weeks vs 21 weeks, respectively). Also, progression-free survival at 1 year was higher in radically resected group than in biopsy only group (20% vs 0%, respectively; p=0.00000). Patients with frontally located tumors had longer MTP (42 weeks) and higher progression-free survival at 1 year (42%) than those with other tumor location (28 weeks and 1.7%, respectively; p=0.00002). Multivariate analysis confirmed that the extent of surgery and tumor location are independent prognosticators in patients with glioblastoma multiforme treated with combined modality approach using progression-free survival as an endpoint. 相似文献

Therapeutic protoclol for intracranial aneurysm treatment is very complex. In depand od patient status and anviografic founding we determinate modality and time of treatment. Analysis included 137 patients who were treated in Neurosurgical clinic CCS because sponatenus subarachnoid haemorrhage rigine from aneurysm belading. We performed direct surgery (microsurgery) in 109 patients. In early termine we operated 28 patients (25.69%), in first 24 hours 5 of them. In interemdiate period we performed surgery in 9, and other 72 patient we operated in postpone period. Embolisation was performed in 22 patinet. GOS form embolised patient was 4.636 +/- 0.581 and in operated 4.113 +/- 1.106 (p < 0.05). Cumulative experient of Neurisurgical Clinic CCS and summation of international experience impose as the best treatment is the treatment which is best known for the physician. 相似文献
