PURPOSE: To further describe the glaucoma with the oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe (OCRL) including the responsible filtration angle abnormalities and response to treatment. METHODS: The scientific literature regarding the glaucoma associated with OCRL from 1952, when the first report of the syndrome appeared, to the present was reviewed. The medical records of 7 patients with OCRL were studied. The occurrence of glaucoma, corneal changes secondary to glaucoma, gonioscopic abnormalities, iris features, and response to glaucoma surgery were recorded. RESULTS: Signs of glaucoma are defining abnormalities leading to recognition of OCRL. The OCRL medical literature reports the frequency of glaucoma, secondary clinical signs of increased intraocular pressure (IOP), and results of glaucoma surgery, but little information related to the responsible filtration angle abnormalities. Glaucoma was present in 71% (5 of 7) of patients studied, and was recognized in infancy in 9 of their 10 eyes. Gonioscopy was performed in 6 OCRL patients and revealed the constant presence of open angles, primary filtration angle anomalies, and defects considered secondary to previous infantile lens extractions. The observed anomalies were anterior insertion of the iris, narrowing of the ciliary body band, and decreased visibility of the scleral spur. The angle defects felt to be acquired following lens surgery included a more anterior insertion of the iris on to the trabecular meshwork, pigment dusting of the angle tissues, and iris synechial abnormalities related to the surgery. Bilateral goniotomies were unsuccessful in 4 of 4 patients. The fundi of 6 of 7 patients showed normal optic disc development with variable abnormalities secondary to glaucoma, and normal retinal vessels. Minimal evidence of macular development was observed in a single patient from 1 month of age to his most recent examination at 14 months of age. CONCLUSION: A primary X-linked infantile glaucoma is a defining and frequent component of OCRL and is secondary to expression of a primary filtration angle anomaly. Goniotomy was unsuccessful in all (8) operated eyes. The adverse effects of cataract surgery on the filtration angle structures may influence the results of goniotomy surgery by superimposing a secondary aphakic glaucoma component that may explain the need for alternative glaucoma surgery. 相似文献

Immunoglobulin kappa (IGK) and immunoglobulin lambda (IGL) light chain repertoire was analyzed in 276 chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cases and compared with the relevant repertoires from normal, autoreactive, and neoplastic cells. Twenty-one functional IGKV genes were used in IGKV-J rearrangements of 179 kappa-CLL cases; the most frequent genes were IGKV3-20(A27), IGKV1-39/1D-39(O2/O12), IGKV1-5(L12), IGKV4-1(B3), and IGKV2-30(A17); 90 (50.3%) of 179 IGK sequences were mutated (similarity < 98%). Twenty functional IGLV genes were used in IGLV-J rearrangements of 97 lambda-CLL cases; the most frequent genes were IGLV3-21(VL2-14), IGLV2-8(VL1-2), and IGLV2-14(VL1-4); 44 of 97 IGL sequences (45.4%) were mutated. Subsets with "CLL-biased" homologous complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) were identified: (1) IGKV2-30-IGKJ2, 7 sequences with homologous kappa CDR3 (KCDR3), 5 of 7 associated with homologous IGHV4-34 heavy chains; (2) IGKV1-39/1D-39-IGKJ1/4, 4 unmutated sequences with homologous KCDR3, 2 of 4 associated with homologous IGHV4-39 heavy chains; (3) IGKV1-5-IGKJ1/3, 4 sequences with homologous KCDR3, 2 of 4 associated with unmutated nonhomologous IGHV4-39 heavy chains; (4) IGLV1-44-IGLJ2/3, 2 sequences with homologous lambda CDR3 (LCDR3), associated with homologous IGHV4-b heavy chains; and (5) IGLV3-21-IGLJ2/3, 9 sequences with homologous LCDR3, 3 of 9 associated with homologous IGHV3-21 heavy chains. The existence of subsets that comprise given IGKV-J/IGLV-J domains associated with IGHV-D-J domains that display homologous CDR3 provides further evidence for the role of antigen in CLL pathogenesis. 相似文献

In utero viral infections have been associated with an adverse pregnancy outcome and may have a causative role in the unexplained fetal death file. Parvovirus B19 and cytomegalovirus are among the most common pathogens implicated in fetal loss cases. Parvovirus B19 has been reported to account for cases of spontaneous abortions, intrauterine fetal death and nonimmune hydrops fetalis, whereas cytomegalovirus accounts for nonimmune hydrops fetalis, intrauterine growth retardation and congenital anomalies. This review aims to summarize the current literature in an attempt to underline the need for routine screening, close follow-up and prevention. A better understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms of viral infections during the crucial time of organogenesis, along with early detection, may contribute to the reduction in stillbirth rate. 相似文献

There are previous indications that transplacental transmission of cytomegalovirus (CMV), parvovirus B19 (PB19) and herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (HSV-1/2) cause fetal infections, which may lead to fetal death. In a prospective case-control study we examined the incidence of these viruses in intrauterine fetal death and their association with fetal and placenta pathological findings. Molecular assays were performed on placenta tissue extracts of 62 fetal deaths and 35 controls for the detection of CMV, PB19 and HSV-1/2 genomes. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded liver, spleen and placenta tissues of fetal death cases were evaluated histologically. Thirty-four percent of placental specimens taken from intrauterine fetal deaths were positive for any of the three viruses (16%, 13%, and 5% positive for CMV, PB19, and HSV-1/2, respectively), whereas only 6% of those taken from full term newborns were positive (P = 0.0017). No dual infection was observed. This difference was also observed when fetal deaths with a gestational age <20 weeks or a gestational age >20 weeks were compared with the controls (P = 0.025 and P = 0.0012, respectively). Intrauterine death and the control groups differed in the detection rate of CMV DNA (16% and 3%, respectively; P = 0.047), which was more pronounced in a gestational age >20 weeks (P = 0.03). Examination of the pathological findings among the PCR-positive and PCR-negative fetal deaths revealed that hydrops fetalis and chronic villitis were more common among the former group (P = 0.0003 and P = 0.0005, respectively). In conclusion, an association was detected between viral infection and fetal death, which was more pronounced in the advanced gestational age. Fetal hydrops and chronic villitis were evidently associated with viral DNA detection in cases of intrauterine death. 相似文献
