目的 探讨首发精神分裂症患者认知功能状况. 方法对60例首发精神分裂症患者进行威斯康星卡片分类测验(WCST),韦氏成人智力量表(WAIS-R)、韦氏记忆量表(WMS)、简明精神病评定量表(BPRS)评定,同时对60名正常健康志愿者进行WCST评定. 结果病例组在WCST完成分类数(t=-4.6,P<0.05)、正确应答数(t=-2.3,P<0.05)、概念化水平百分数(t=-4.9,P<0.05)、错误应答数(t=5.8,P<0.05)以及持续错误数(t=4.6,P<0.05)等评定指标上测试成绩明显差于对照组;患者的WCST正确应答数与操作智商(r=0.5,P<0.05)、总智商(r=0.5,P<0.05)以及总记忆商数(r=0.6,P<0.05)呈正相关;错误应答数与操作智商(r=-0.5,P<0.05)以及总智商呈负相关(r=-0.5,P<0.05);持续错误数与总记忆商数呈负相关(r=-0.5,P<0.05);BPRS迟滞因子分与WCST总用时、错误应答数呈正相关(r=0.4,P<0.05);敌对猜疑因子分与WCST总用时呈正相关(r=0.4,P<0.05). 结论精神分裂症患者部分认知功能受损,与精神症状之间存在相关.     

精神分裂症病人维持治疗中的依从性研究

为了研究门诊精神分裂症病人在维持治疗中的依从性，对３９７例门诊精神分裂症病人在维持治疗中的服药依从性采用直接面询法进行了研究。结果显示，完全依从的有２９９例，占７５．３％，部分依从和不依从的有９８例，占２４．７％。＞３０岁组的依从性较≤３０岁组的好（Ｐ＜０．０１），家庭人际关系好的病人依从性优于家庭人际关系差的病人（Ｐ＜０．０１），目前精神症状严重的病人、维持治疗药物剂量（折合氯丙嗪剂量）＞３００ｍｇ／ｄ的病人、ＭｏｒｎｉｎｇＳｉｄｅ康复状态量表评分高的病人依从性差。经逐步多元回归分析，影响服药依从性的主要因素为：家庭人际关系、维持治疗药物剂量、维持治疗时间、慢性精神病病人标准化精神症状量表评分。认为提高病人的依从性能减少疾病的复发。

Soluble interleukin-2 receptor level on day 7 as a predictor of graft-versus-host disease after HLA-haploidentical stem cell transplantation using reduced-intensity conditioning

In the present study, we analyzed the kinetics of serum soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) using data from 77 patients undergoing HLA-haploidentical transplantation using reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC), who were at an advanced stage or at high risk for relapse, to clarify the usefulness of sIL-2R as a biomarker of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Anti-T-lymphocyte globulin and methylprednisolone were used as GVHD prophylaxis. While the median sIL-2R in 38 patients not developing GVHD was suppressed at levels <740 U/ml, sIL-2R in 25 patients developing severe GVHD peaked on day 11 (1,663 U/ml), and thereafter decreased to <1,000 U/ml after day 30. The occurrence of GVHD was not limited to times of high sIL-2R level, but occurred at any time point on the sIL-2R curve. Most patients developing GVHD, however, experienced a higher sIL-2R level early in their transplant course. The combination of RIC and glucocorticoids sufficiently suppressed sIL-2R levels after HLA-haploidentical transplantation. In a multivariate analysis to identify factors associated with GVHD, day 7 sIL-2R >810 U/ml was the only factor significantly associated with the occurrence of severe GVHD (p = 0.0101).     

Enteral metallic stenting by balloon enteroscopy for obstruction of surgically reconstructed intestine

We present three cases of self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement using a balloon enteroscope (BE) and its overtube (OT) for malignant obstruction of surgically reconstructed intestine. A BE is effective for the insertion of an endoscope into the deep bowel. However, SEMS placement is impossible through the working channel, because the working channel of BE is too small and too long for the stent device. Therefore, we used a technique in which the BE is inserted as far as the stenotic area; thereafter, the BE is removed, leaving only the OT, and then the stent is placed by inserting the stent device through the OT. In the present three cases, a modification of this technique resulted in the successful placement of the SEMS for obstruction of surgically reconstructed intestine, and the procedures were performed without serious complications. We consider that the present procedure is extremely effective as a palliative treatment for distal bowel stenosis, such as in the surgically reconstructed intestine.     

C反应蛋白基因多态性与原发性高血压病的关系

目的：研究C反应蛋白（CRP）基因的3个单核苷酸多态性（SNP）位点（rs1205r、s1130864、及rs1800947）与原发性高血压病的相关性。方法：采用TaqMan荧光定量PCR技术,对中国上海地区712例高血压病患者和672名正常血压者进行基因分型、分析单位点和单倍型与高血压及表型的相关性。结果：未发现CRP基因的3个SNP位点的基因型和等位基因频率在原发性高血压病组（EH）和正常血压者对照组（NT）之间存在显著差异（P〉0.05）。CRP基因rs1205（T/C）基因位点和rs1130864（G/A）基因位点经过连锁不平衡分析,D’值〈0.85,进行单倍型分析显示,单倍型C-A分布频率在EH组和NT组中有显著差异[NT比EH：0.064比0.040,优势比（OR）=0.617,95%可信区间（CI）：0.429~0.887,P=0.009],并且经过FDR校正后仍具有显著差异。未发现高血压病患者中不同单倍型之间血压、体质量指数和血清超敏CRP存在显著差异。结论：CRP基因3个SNP单点与原发性高血压病无明显相关性,单倍型CA可能与高血压保护作用有关。     

Risk factors of liver dysfunction after extended hepatic resection in biliary tract malignancies

Background

Postoperative hepatic insufficiency is a critical complication after extended hepatic resection in patients with biliary tract malignancies, the majority of whom suffer from obstructive jaundice. The aim of this study was to assess clinical parameters linked to this type of liver dysfunction.

Methods

A total of 111 patients were retrospectively reviewed. Patient background, pre- and intraoperative parameters, and a ratio of remnant liver volume/entire liver volume (RLV/ELV) as a volumetric parameter were compared between patients with and without postoperative hyperbilirubinemia and subsequent fatal outcome.

Results

Logistic regression indicated that only RLV/ELV ratio was an independent factor influencing postoperative hyperbilirubinemia, and RLV/ELV ratio and indocyanine green retention rate at 15 minutes (ICG-R15) were factors affecting survival. Patients with RLV/ELV less than 40% had 7.6 times the risk of postoperative hyperbilirubinemia, while no patients with RLV/ELV greater than 40% and ICG-R15 less than 25% died of liver failure.

Conclusions

The RLV/ELV ratio was the factor with the greatest impact on liver dysfunction after extended hepatectomy in patients with biliary tract malignancies.     

Strategy for bone marrow transplantation in eculizumab-treated paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria

Although the recent introduction of eculizumab has had a significant impact on the management of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), bone marrow transplantation (BMT) remains the only therapeutic option for patients who develop severe aplasia in the clinical course of PNH. However, information regarding BMT for eculizumab-treated PNH patients is scarce, and two major points-the optimal duration of eculizumab therapy, and the optimal BMT conditioning regimen-remain unclear. Here, we describe the clinical course of a PNH patient who was successfully treated with unrelated reduced-intensity BMT. Eculizumab was discontinued 2?weeks prior to the initiation of the conditioning regimen, which consisted of fludarabine 180?mg/m(2), cyclophosphamide 100?mg/kg, rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin 2?mg/kg, and TBI 3?Gy. Complete donor chimerism was rapidly achieved in association with a rapid decrease in the proportion of PNH erythrocytes. The patient became transfusion-free immediately after BMT, and had no recurrence of hemolysis. The present case suggests that discontinuation of eculizumab before BMT and the use of a highly lymphoablative conditioning regimen may act as a successful treatment strategy in BMT for PNH. Further studies are warranted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this treatment strategy.
