Celiac axis compression by median arcuate ligament on computed tomography among asymptomatic persons

Background/Aim  

Compression of celiac artery by median arcuate ligament (MAL) may cause abdominal symptoms. This study looked at the prevalence of this finding in asymptomatic persons.     

Undifferentiated Tumors: An Immunohistochemical Analysis on Biopsies

Immunohistochemical staining was performed on 145 biopsies with a diagnosis of undifferentiated or poorly differentiated tumor in order to classify them into lymphoid, epithelial, or mesenchymal in origin. It was possible to arrive at a histogenetic diagnosis on immunostaining in 85.5% of cases. Immunostaining confirmed the diagnosis in 32.4% and contributed to diagnosis in 53.1%. Malignant lymphoma was the most common diagnosis (35.9%), followed by carcinoma (23.4%). A panel of antibodies consisting of anti-common leucocyte antigen (LCA), anti-epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), anti-cytokeratin (CK), anti-low to intermediate molecular weight cytokeratin (CAM 5.2), anti-S-100 protein (S-100), and anti-vimentin (VM) may resolve, to a large extent, some of the common diagnostic problems. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Expression of P53 and bcl-2 proteins in T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma: prognostic implications

In patients (pts) with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) under 25 years, treatment with MCP-842 protocol, a short duration intense protocol, yields worse survival in pts with lymphoblastic lymphoma (LL) compared to other high grade lymphomas. In order to identify both favourable and unfavourable subgroups in pts with T-cell LL (T-LL) with respect to relapse free survival following treatment with MCP-842 protocol, we analysed the expression of p53 and bcl-2 proteins in 22 pts with T-LL treated at the Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai by immunohistochemistry. p53 protein overexpression was noted in 59% cases and bcl-2 overexpression was noted in 29.4% cases. p53 expression correlated with a higher rate of relapse (p = 0.03; RR 7.9). The 5-year relapse free survival (RFS) was better in p53 negative patients compared to positive patients (70 vs 38%) (log-rank sigma = 0.04). In conclusion, in this study, overexpression of p53 protein was common in patients with T-LL. T-LL pts negative for p53 are likely to benefit from the short intense protocol--MCL-842. Bcl-2 protein overexpression was not a prognostic factor in these patients.     

复治肺结核病人的成因分析

目的　探讨复治肺结核病人形成原因。方法　使用调查表的方法 ,对前来诊治的复治涂阳肺结核病人的首次诊疗 ,管理情况进行问卷调查。结果　综合医院仍然为大多数患者的首次诊疗单位 ,因此部分肺结核患者未能得到正确的诊断、治疗和化疗管理。导致 67.2 %病人“中断”或“间断”治疗 ;另外结核病健康教育宣传做得不够 ,60 .3 %的患者诊断前未接受过防痨宣教 ,3 4.5 %的患者接受初次化疗时仍未得到宣教。这些均在导致复治病人的产生中起了重要作用。结论　加大DOTS覆盖面 ,加强归口管理力度 ,做好防治结核病教育工作是防止复治肺结核病人产生的重要环节。
