Allergic contact dermatitis from grasses

This study attempts to demonstrate the existence of allergic contact dermatitis from grass, and to develop a patch test series to screen patients with grass intolerance. 6 common grass species from lawns and military training areas were collected. Solvent extracts of polar. non-polar and volatile fractions were prepared and used for patch testing in 20 control subjects and 46 patients with a history of grass intolerance. The 20 control had negative responses to patch testing. 5 out of 46 patients had positive patch tests to Axonopus compressus (carpet grass). Ischaenmum muticum (sea-shore centipede grass). Imperata evlindrica (lalang). Panicum maximum (Guinea grass) and Pennisetum purpureum (elephant grass). Reactions to the non-polar fraction for all 5 species were noted. This study demonstrates the existence of allergic contact dermatitis from various common species of grass. In our series, this is seen in 11% of those with a history of grass intolerance.     

人晶体 γ-晶体蛋白的研究:Ⅳ.近紫外线对胚 γ_2-晶体蛋白的光氧化作用

对人胚胎晶体γ_2-晶体蛋白溶液用近紫外线(γmax 365nm)照射,不同时间取样分析。利用巯基(-SH)特异性试剂 DACM[N-(7-甲基氨基-4-甲基-3-邻羟苯烯基)-马来酰亚胺],经 SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳观察光照射后的γ_2-晶体蛋白及其聚合物的游离巯基,同时检测照射后的蛋白溶液的紫外吸收光谱、光散射强度、色氨酸荧光发射光谱,以及丙烯酰胺对色氨酸荧光的猝灭效应。结果显示:人胚胎γ_2-晶体蛋白经紫外线照射,使其游离-SH 减少,蛋白聚合和分解,蛋白溶液的光散射增强,其二聚体不含游离-SH,γ_2-晶体蛋白的色氨酸荧光减少,这些变化随照射时间的延长而更明显;而对丙烯酰胺对蛋白分子中的色氨酸荧光猝灭效应影响不大。说明人胚胎γ_2-晶体蛋白通过光氧化,损伤及含游离-SH 的氨基酸残基、色氨酸残基,光氧化促使蛋白聚合和分解.提出通过进一步定量分析,可能在较深层次揭示紫外光氧化损伤含-SH 氨基酸、色氨酸残基,进而影响整个蛋白质分子结构的差异。眼科学报 1993;9:85-89。     

Jugular foramen neuromas: a review of 14 cases

We present 14 patients with jugular foramen neuromas treated in the professorial unit at the National Hospital, Queen Square, in the 20-year period from 1969 to 1989. The growth characteristics and associated symptomatology of these tumors are variable, and often they do not give rise to a typical jugular foramen syndrome, making differentiation from other low cerebellopontine angle tumors difficult and occasionally impossible. One tumor presented mainly in the neck, but the remaining 13 were predominantly intracranial and their anatomical relationships as defined radiologically determined the surgical approach used. Nine tumors were resected using a posterior fossa approach, three required a combined posterior fossa and neck dissection, and one a combined supratentorial and infratentorial craniotomy. The aim of operation was total excision of the tumor, which was achieved in 10 patients; the remaining three all suffered recurrence. There was no operative mortality and little long-term disability.     

Non-tuberculous mycobacterial keratitis: a study of 22 cases.

AIM: To investigate causes and clinical findings of non-tuberculous mycobacterial keratitis, and to study its response to topical antibiotic therapy and surgical extirpative keratectomy. METHOD: A single centre, retrospective review of 22 patients with non-tuberculous mycobacterial keratitis seen in a 3 year period. Laboratory diagnoses were established with Ziehl-Nielsen acid fast staining and Löwenstein-Jensen cultures. RESULTS: In 20 patients (91%), there was an antecedent history of foreign body eye trauma (18 patients) or elective surgery (two patients). There were 19 cases of Mycobacterium chelonei, and three of M fortuitum. Clinical signs included epithelial defects, satellite or ring stromal infiltrates, crystalline keratopathy, and hypopyon. For topical antibiotic therapy, 20 patients received amikacin, while one patient received rifampin and another received ciprofloxacin, each in accordance with the results of the in vitro drug sensitivities. An extirpative keratectomy was performed in 15 cases; four of these cases additionally required a temporary conjunctival flap in order to finally eradicate the infection. At the end of the follow up period (median 18 months; range 3 months to 3 years) all eyes were stable and free of infection, with 19 (86%) having final visual acuities of 20/200 or better. CONCLUSION: Early clinical recognition and prompt laboratory diagnosis, together with aggressive topical antibiotic therapy and early keratectomy, may shorten morbidity and improve the clinical outcome of non-tuberculous mycobacterial keratitis.

Outcome of frozen embryo replacement cycles following elective cryopreservation of all embryos in women at risk of developing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome

Aim: Our aim was to compare the outcome in subsequent frozen embryo replacement cycles in four groups of patients who had elective cryopreservation of all their embryos because they were considered to be at increased risk of developing severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Design: Sixty-two (91%) of 68 IVF cycles (68 patients) in which elective cryopreservation of all embryos was performed were analyzed. All patients continued on the GnRH agonist, buserelin, after oocyte recovery until the onset of vaginal bleeding. Frozen embryo replacement occurred in a hormone replacement cycle that started either on day 3 of the withdrawal bleed (group I;N=15) or after serum estradiol levels had fallen to <100 pmol/L (group II;N=16). The other patients commenced a frozen embryo replacement cycle several months later in either a hormone replacement (group III;N=15) or a natural (group IV;N=16) cycle. Results: Two patients developed severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. There were no significant differences among the four groups regarding demographic variables, the dose of hMG used, and the clinical outcome. There was a higher but not significantly different clinical pregnancy rate in group I (26.7%), compared to group II (12.5%), group III (13.3%), and group IV (18.8%). Conclusions: Several options exist for the timing and protocol used for frozen embryo replacement in patients who had elective cryopreservation for the prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, none of which was found to be clearly superior in this observational report.Presented at the 1994 Annual Conference of the American Fertility Society.     

Destabilization of lens protein conformation by glutathione mixed disulfide

Mixed disulfide between lens crystallin and glutathione has been observed in human cataracts and could be formed in vitro by thiol-disulfide exchange reaction. The glutathionyl crystallins have been reported to become partially unfolded. The present paper reports the conformational destabilization by the mixed disulfide formation in calf alpha- and gamma-II crystallin. The conformational stability was studied by the denaturants urea and guanidine hydrochloride (Gdn-HCl), and by proteolytic degradation. The denaturation curves of both urea and Gdn-HCl shift to lower denaturant concentration for crystallins of glutathione mixed disulfide. The decrease in conformational stability is estimated to be 0.22- and 0.92 kcal mol-1 for modified alpha- and gamma-II crystallin, respectively. Proteolytic digestion also shows a faster rate of degradation for the modified crystallins. These results indicate that mixed disulfide destabilizes the crystallin conformation. The destabilization may make crystallins more susceptible to changes as observed in aging lenses.
