A case of Klinefelter syndrome with retroperitoneal teratoma

Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is often associated with various neoplasms, especially germ cell tumors. Mediastinum is the most favored site of extragonadal germ cell tumors with KS, which is somewhat different from those without KS. The retroperitoneal germ cell tumor in KS is very rare. A five-month-old boy with an abdominal mass was found to have a retroperitoneal tumor. After surgical removal, he was diagnosed to have mature cystic teratoma. Cytogenetic study of his peripheral lymphocytes revealed that his karyotype was consistent with KS. This case suggests that patients with KS might be at risk of having germ cell tumors in sites other than mediastinum. It also suggests that all cases with these tumors should be screened for the presence of karyotypic abnormalities, and it might help to assess the exact correlation between germ cell tumors and KS, and to treat them accordingly.     

Multispacer typing of Rickettsia prowazekii enabling epidemiological studies of epidemic typhus

Currently, there is no tool for typing Rickettsia prowazekii, the causative agent of epidemic typhus, currently considered a potential bioterrorism agent, at the strain level. To test if the multispacer typing (MST) method could differentiate strains of R. prowazekii, we amplified and sequenced the 25 most variable intergenic spacers between the R. prowazekii and R. conorii genomes in five strains and 10 body louse amplicons of R. prowazekii from various geographic origins. Two intergenic spacers, i.e., rpmE/tRNA(fMet) and serS/virB4, were variable among tested R. prowazekii isolates and allowed identification of three and two genotypes, respectively. When the genotypes obtained from the two spacers were combined, we identified four different genotypes. MST demonstrated that several R. prowazekii strains circulated in human body lice during an outbreak of epidemic typhus in Burundi. This may help to discriminate between natural and intentional outbreaks. Our study supports the usefulness of MST as a versatile method for rickettsial strain genotyping.     

经舟骨月骨周围脱位的诊断和治疗

目的 探讨经舟骨月骨周围脱位的诊断和治疗。方法 回顾性分析17例经舟骨月骨周围脱位病例，背侧型13例，掌侧型4例；新鲜损伤组10例中8例行撬拨复位成功，仅2例因舟骨对位不良接受手术治疗；陈旧性组7例中均接受手术，4例行开放复位内固定，3例行近排腕骨切除术。结果 采用Cooney评价标准，优11例，良3例，可1例，差2例，优良率82．35％。结论 经舟骨月骨周围脱位的早期治疗简单且疗效较好，而一旦误诊，则多数需手术治疗，且残留不同程度的功能障碍。提高对本病损伤机制、腕部体征和影像学特点的认识和了解，减少误诊。是提高本病预后的关键因素之一。     

Cariporide对兔心房电重构的影响

目的：探讨钠氢交换体Ⅰ型(NHE-1)特异性抑制剂cariporide对快速起搏所致兔心房电重构的影响。 方法： 30只兔随机等分为3组：对照组、起搏组和cariporide组。起搏组和cariporide组给予6 h 600 beats/min的快速心房起搏。测定各组不同时点的心房有效不应期（AERP200，AERP150，AERP130），连续刺激6 h后取左右心耳组织，用Western blotting测定NHE-1的含量。 结果： 在快速起搏后1 h后，起搏组的AERP200较起搏前明显缩短，2 h时达高峰，相对缩短量为（15.63±9.04）ms，而对照组和cariporide组AERP未发生明显变化，起搏2h时相对缩短量为(1.43±2.44)ms和(1.43±6.90)ms（P<0.05，与起搏组相比），这些变化一直保持至快速起搏后6 h；起搏组的AERP频率适应性下降, 起搏前AERP130较AERP200缩短(11.88±15.57)ms，起搏后6 h只缩短(4.38±5.63)ms。而cariporide组的AERP频率适应性则未发生显著变化。起搏组右心耳组织的NHE-1含量显著少于对照组（P<0.05），cariporide组的右心耳组织NHE-1含量与对照组差异不显著。 结论： Cariporide可有效阻止快速心房起搏引起的AERP缩短，但不影响起搏引起的NHE-1含量的下降。

Incidence and outcome of adenovirus disease in transplant recipients after reduced-intensity conditioning with alemtuzumab.

Adenoviruses are emerging as a major cause of infectious complications after allogeneic transplantation. We evaluated the incidence and outcome of symptomatic adenovirus infection or adenovirus disease after alemtuzumab-based reduced-intensity conditioning in 86 consecutive patients. The overall probability of adenovirus disease was 18.4% (11/86 patients). Five patients died of progressive adenovirus disease, and this was the most important infectious cause of mortality in this cohort. The probability of nonrelapse mortality was 49% in patients with adenovirus disease compared with 25.5% in those without (P=.007). The severity of lymphocytopenia and continuation of immunosuppressive therapy were the most important risk factors for progressive adenovirus disease and death. In contrast, patients who were not receiving immunosuppressive therapy or had had it reduced or withdrawn cleared the virus. We also detected a correlation between the lack of preemptive anti-cytomegalovirus (CMV) therapy for CMV reactivation and the risk of progressive adenovirus disease (P=.05). Our findings highlight the emergence of adenovirus as an important posttransplantation pathogen even after reduced-intensity conditioning and demonstrate the effect of the severity of lymphocytopenia, anti-CMV prophylaxis, and immunosuppressive therapy on the outcome of adenovirus disease.
