造血干细胞移植研究进展

造血干细胞移植(hematopoietic stem cell transplantation,HSCT)是通过化学药物及放射治疗清除患者的骨髓,再将健康供者的造血干细胞植入患者体内,建立新的造血系统及免疫系统,从而达到治愈血液系统恶性肿瘤及骨髓衰竭的目的.自从1981年我国开始第一例异基因造血干细胞移植(allo-HSCT)以来,经过20余年的努力,HSCT技术已取得很大进步,根据北京市道培医院移植中心统计结果,白血病标危组同胞人类组织相容性抗原(HLA)配型相合组5年生存率为80%,HLA半相合(单倍体)及非血缘造血干细胞移植组5年生存率为70%-75%,白血病高危组长期生存率为35%-40%.     

Single-acquisition chemical-shift imaging of a binary system with use of stimulated echoes

A method for separating binary chemical-shift components with a single image data acquisition by means of stimulated echoes is demonstrated. With a strategy analogous to the modified Dixon method, three stimulated echoes were acquired to form three complex images. In each of the images, the complex pixel intensities were imparted, by design of the pulse sequence, with a phase factor carrying chemical-shift or field inhomogeneity information. With these three images, true fat/water separation can be obtained in biologic tissues. Studies at high field strength (4.7 T) on a toluene phantom, a pseudo-binary chemical-shift system, were used to evaluate the applicability of the method. Its clinical feasibility was demonstrated on a healthy human subject in a 0.6-T whole-body imaging system.     

Cerebral Embolism Due to a Retained Pacemaker Lead: A Case Report

There are only a few reported cases of a pacemaker lead migrating inadvertently into the left atrium or ventricle. An unusual complication of unremoved, unwanted pacemaker lead is presented. The free tip of the lead caused cerebral embolism after perforating the interatrial septum.     

The effect of antibody against TNF alpha on cytokine response in Jarisch-Herxheimer reactions of louse-borne relapsing fever

Severe Jarisch Herxheimer reaction (J-HR) precipitated by antibiotic treatment of louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF) is associated with a transient, marked rise in circulating tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interleukin 8 (IL-8). Ovine polyclonal anti-TNF alpha antibody fragments (Fab) were used in a randomized double blind placebo controlled trial in an attempt to prevent this reaction. Within 4 h after penicillin, in controls (n = 29), a several- fold rise in cytokines occurred, concomitant with a fall in spirochaetes and maximal clinical manifestations of the J-HR. An intravenous infusion of anti-TNF alpha Fab, 30 min before penicillin in 20 patients reduced peak plasma levels of IL-6 and IL-8 (but not IL-1 beta) compared with controls (p = 0.01 and < 0.001, respectively) and the incidence of the J-HR, indicating some neutralization of TNF alpha. An apparent fall in TNF alpha reflected interference of anti-TNF alpha in the immunoassay.      

不断提高异基因造血细胞移植的疗效

1957年美国著名血液学家Thomas教授首先成功地应用异基因骨髓移植（allogeneic bone marrow transplantation，allo-BMT）治疗恶性血液病，并以此获得诺贝尔医学奖。此后allo-BMT技术不断改进，并在世界范围内迅速开展，目前已成为治愈恶性血液病的重要方法。亚洲的骨髓移植首先于20世纪60年代初在北京获得成功，为应用同基因骨髓移植治愈1例重型再生障碍性贫血患者。经历了十年动乱暂时无奈中断研究后，80年代初作者等又成功地将allo-BMT应用于恶性血液病的治疗，之后该项技术在全国不断开展，逐渐成熟，并已形成规模，且在许多方面已达到或超过国际水平。     

The Treatment of Septicemia in Pacemaker Patients

The authors analyzed the data of seven patients who had undergone open heart surgery because of pacemaker endocarditis in the past 4 years. Repeated surgical interventions on the pacemaker system were found to be the most common predisposing factors. Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis were the most common causative organisms. Two-dimensional echocardiography was important in the diagnosis of cases with atypical clinical picture and negative blood cultures. We concluded that: (1) any pacemaker patient with fever should be considered to have a pacemaker endocarditis; (2) all of these patients should be examined by two-dimenensional echocardiography; and (3) the total removal of the infected hardware seems to be the only way to achieve complete recovery.     

Management Strategies for Pain in Breast Carcinoma Patients: Current Opinions and Future Perspectives

Breast cancer is the most frequently encountered carcinoma in women worldwide. Pain is the most distressing symptom in patients with breast carcinoma and can occur at all stages of the disease due to the cancer per se as well as due to various diagnostic and treatment modalities. A proper pain assessment helps in identification of pain syndromes and guides in formulating analgesic strategies. Primary therapies of breast carcinoma like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy for bony metastases can cause substantial pain relief. However, multimodal analgesic approaches incorporating pharmacological, interventional as well as non-conventional techniques should be employed prior to, in conjunction with, and after primary therapies of breast cancer. The prevalence of chronic neuropathic pain following breast cancer surgery may exceed 50% by current estimates, and with the increase in life expectancy of these patients, providing adequate pain relief is of paramount importance to improve their quality of life. In this review, we discuss prevailing methods of evaluation and management of pain in patients of breast carcinoma and the new techniques that may become the mainstay of pain management protocols in future.

Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity in chronic human Chagas disease

Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity mediated by granulocytes (ADGC) or lymphocytes (ADLC) was assessed in 23 patients with chronic Chagas disease. The results of ADGC against T. cruzi were normal. ADLC against chicken erythrocytes was significantly reduced in patients as compared with normal controls. Possible causes of this abnormality were investigated.
