Prognostic Factors in Elderly Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia

Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is predominantly a disease of the elderly; the median age of incidence is 64 years, and 60% of all cases are over 60. With improved chemotherapy regimens and maximal supportive care, remission rates of up to 60% may be achieved in selected elderly patients. Whilst intensive chemotherapy is the treatment of choice for fit patients, it may be inappropriate for debilitated patients with poor prognosis disease in whom supportive care or palliative chemotherapy may be more suitable. AML in the elderly exhibits biological differences from AML in younger patients, and elderly patients may be unable to withstand the rigors of the intensive treatment regimens given to younger patients.     

0～16岁城乡儿童骨骼矿物质含量及影响因素的研究

使用单光子骨矿物测定仪，自１９９４年初到１９９５年底，分别在河南省扶沟县和新乡市测定了３３２名健康的０～１６岁城乡儿童右前臂１／３处桡骨和尺骨的骨矿物质含量（ＢＭＣ），采用逐步多元回归分析了多个独立变量对桡骨ＢＭＣ和测量部位骨宽度的影响。结果显示：桡骨和尺骨的ＢＭＣ、骨宽度（ＢＷ）、ＢＭＣ／ＢＷ和前臂长度均随年龄而增加，０～６岁城市儿童的ＢＭＣ高于农村儿童；桡骨ＢＭＣ与所测量部位的ＢＷ呈正相关，年龄、体重和身高对桡骨ＢＭＣ都显示出显著和独立的正影响；儿童的桡骨ＢＭＣ与年龄呈显著正相关；而桡骨ＢＭＣ与体重的比值与年龄呈显著负相关；测定部位桡骨ＢＷ和前臂长度随年龄的增加呈曲线增加。在以身高和体重调整后，性别、年龄和体重对桡骨ＢＷ的影响变得不显著，只有身高的影响显著。本研究证明儿童在０～１６岁范围，身高（而不是肥胖）是骨骼ＢＭＣ的主要决定因素。在比较儿童骨密度结果时，要参考多个变量，如ＢＭＣ、骨密度，ＢＭＣ／体重、ＢＭＣ／年龄等综合评价指标更有说明力。

Potential contribution of nuclear factor-kappaB to cerebral vasospasm after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage in rabbits.

Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) plays a key role in inflammation, which is involved in the development of cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). In the present study, we assessed the potential role of NF-kappaB in regulation of cerebral vasospasm. Nuclear factor-kappaB DNA-binding activity was measured in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) treated with hemolysate and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC, 80 micromol/L), an inhibitor of NF-kappaB. Forty-two rabbits were divided into three groups: control, SAH, and PDTC groups (n=14 for each group). The caliber of the basilar artery was evaluated. Nuclear factor-kappaB DNA-binding activity and the gene expression levels of cytokines and adhesion molecules in the basilar artery were measured. Immunohistochemical study was performed to assess the expression and localization of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, and myeloperoxidase (MPO). It was observed that NF-kappaB DNA-binding activity was significantly increased by treatment with hemolysate in cultured VSCMs, but this increase was suppressed by pretreatment with PDTC. Severe vasospasm was observed in the SAH group, which was attenuated in the PDTC group. Subarachnoid hemorrhage could induce increases of NF-kappaB DNA-binding activity and the gene expression levels of TNF-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1 beta, ICAM-1, and vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1, which were reduced in the PDTC group. Immunohistochemical study demonstrated that the expression levels of TNF-alpha, ICAM-1, and MPO were all increased in the SAH group, but these increases were attenuated in the PDTC group. Our results suggest that NF-kappaB is activated in the arterial wall after SAH, which potentially leads to vasospasm development through induction of inflammatory response.
