Seizures in children with low-grade tumors： outcome after tumor resection and risk factors for uncontrolled seizures

OBJECT： The goals of this study were to define the incidence of seizures in children with low-grade tumors, study seizure outcome after lesionectomy in these children, and identify risk factors for poor seizure outcome, METHODS： The authors performed a retrospective chart review of children who harbored low-grade brain tumors, experienced seizures, and were treated in a single institution, Statistical analyses included step-wise as well as single-variable binary logistic regression analyses.     

Regional and systemic cytokine responses to acute inflammation of the vermiform appendix

OBJECTIVE: To measure local (peritoneal fluid) and systemic (plasma) cytokine profiles in patients with infection-inflammation of the vermiform appendix, a relatively mild, localized inflammatory process. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: The systemic host response to invading microorganisms, often termed the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), includes changes in heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, and circulating white blood cell numbers. Although these changes can be induced experimentally by administering proinflammatory cytokines, the mediators that appear in the bloodstream during early, localized infection in humans have not been defined. METHODS: The authors studied 56 patients with pathologically proven appendicitis. Blood was obtained before the induction of anesthesia, when 82% of the patients met the criteria for SIRS. Peritoneal fluid (PF) was obtained by intraoperative lavage. Cytokines were measured by immunoassay. To assess the net impact of the mediators within plasma, the authors studied the ability of patient plasma to augment or suppress bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation of monocytes in vitro. RESULTS: Of the proinflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-alpha was present in PF but not in plasma, interleukin (IL)-1beta and interferon-gamma were found in low concentrations in both PF and plasma, and IL-12 (p70) was detectable in plasma but not PF. In contrast, IL-6 and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) were the most abundant cytokines in the PF and plasma, and the concentrations of IL-4 and IL-10 were also elevated in both compartments. Patients with more severe appendicitis had higher plasma levels of IL-6 and IL-10 and lower plasma levels of IL-12 and interferon-gamma than did those with uncomplicated disease. Patient plasma inhibited LPS-induced stimulation of a monocyte cell line, and this inhibition was accentuated by complicated disease. CONCLUSIONS: As judged from the pattern of soluble cytokines in plasma and the effect of the plasma on monocyte activation by LPS, mild, localized infection can induce a systemic response that is predominantly anti-inflammatory.     

308-nm准分子激光联合他克莫司软膏治疗面部白癜风656例疗效评价

目的：评价308nm准分子激光联合他克莫司软膏治疗面部白癜风的疗效。方法：对656例面部白癜风患者照射308nm准分子激光联合外用他克莫司软膏。他克莫司软膏每日2次,308nm准分子激光每周治疗1-2次,共治疗30次。末次治疗后随访1年。结果：1630块白斑中,总有效率为47.12%,病程<2年皮损总有效率为58.10%高于病程≥2年皮损的16.60%,两组差异具有统计学意义(P<0.001)。眼周皮损疗效最佳,总有效率为54.96%,口周皮损疗效最差,总有效率为40.22%,差异有统计学意义（P<0.0001）。结论：308 nm准分子激光联合他克莫司软膏治疗面部白癜风的疗效与病期和皮损部位有关。     

利用微型种植体支抗压低下颌磨牙的临床研究

目的研究安氏Ⅰ类错患者中,采用微型种植体作支抗,压低下颌磨牙的临床效果及其作用特点。方法选择12例成人患者,将24枚微型种植体植于下颌第一磨牙近、远中的颊侧牙槽骨内,Ni-Ti螺旋弹簧拉长后分别连接于下颌第一磨牙带环颊侧,来压低下颌第一磨牙。测量磨牙的压低量、颊舌向的位置变化、近远中倾斜度以及磨牙移动的速度,并通过治疗前后的X线片对比以观察磨牙牙根有无吸收,牙周膜腔的变化情况。通过测量下颌第二磨牙与下颌中切牙的位置变化来衡量支抗强弱。结果下颌第一磨牙平均压低3.5mm,疗程5.2个月,平均移动速度0.67mm/月;磨牙牙冠近颊尖、远颊尖分别颊向移动1.2mm、1.3mm。磨牙牙根没有吸收,牙周膜腔宽度没有改变。下颌第二磨牙与下颌中切牙的位置没有改变。结论所有下颌磨牙均被压低到了恰当的位置,为对颌牙的修复治疗提供了足够的间隙。同时该方法临床操作简单易行,适于推广。     

Facteurs associés aux perdus de vue des patients sous traitement antirétroviral dans un centre de traitement ambulatoire du VIH à Conakry,Guinée

Background

Late or inadequate therapeutic management increases the risk of mortality associated with HIV/AIDS. The aim of this study was to analyze the proportion and factors associated with loss of follow-up in HIV patients who receiving antiretroviral therapy at Conakry.

SA/hIL21双功能融合蛋白的表达、纯化及生物学活性检测

目的 制备链亲和素(SA)标记的人白细胞介素21融合蛋白(SA-hIL-21),检测其生物学活性.方法 构建hIL21-SA-pET21及pET24a-SA-hIL21质粒,利用大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)表达两种双功能融合蛋白,并利用镍金属螯合层析柱(Ni-NTA)纯化,之后透析复性,Western blotting进行鉴定,最后利用MTT法检测hIL21-SA及SA-hIL21融合蛋白与抗CD3单克隆抗体(anti-CD3)共刺激人外周血淋巴细胞的增殖活性,流式细胞仪分析两种融合蛋白对生物素化的MB49肿瘤细胞的锚定修饰效率.结果 hIL21-SA及SA-hIL21重组融合蛋白在大肠杆菌中实现了高效表达,约占菌体蛋白的30%,经复性后hIL21-SA及SA-hlL21具有了双重活性,即不仅可以与抗CD3单抗共刺激淋巴细胞的增殖,而且具有了SA介导的高效结合已生物素化的MB49肿瘤细胞表面的功能(表面修饰效率95.18%,96.91%).结论 本实验成功研制了具有双重活性的hIL21-SA及SA-hlL21融合蛋白,两种融合蛋白的双功能活性无显著性差异,该项研究为SA/hIL21双功能融合蛋白应用于肿瘤疫苗以及肿瘤局部治疗奠定了基础.
