儿童癌症幸存者成年后的慢性疾病

由于治疗方法的进步,近80%的儿童和青少年癌症患者能够长期生存。在美国,约有270000例儿童癌症的幸存者,即每640名20至39岁成年人中就有一名幸存者。大量的幸存者有利于儿童癌症治疗后长期健康结果的研究。现在可以明确的是,化疗和放疗所致的儿童各器官系统损害在临床上可能潜伏多年。为了全面了解治疗儿童癌症而继发的健康问题,重要的是衡量三项长期结果:健康状况、死亡率和患病率。这三项中,关于前两项已有相当好的研究报道。在一项对20227例癌症5年生存者的回顾性分析中,Mertens等发现以下原因导致的超额死亡率具有统计学意义:继发癌症(…     

Mutations in Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy and their effects on emerin protein expression

Seventeen families with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) have been studied both by DNA sequencing and by emerin protein expression. Fourteen had mutations in the X-linked emerin gene, while three showed evidence of autosomal inheritance. Twelve of the 14 emerin mutations caused early termination of translation. An in-frame deletion of six amino acids from the C-terminal transmembrane helix caused almost complete absence of emerin from muscle with no localization to the nuclear membrane, although mRNA levels were normal. This shows that mutant emerin proteins are unstable if they are unable to integrate into a membrane. A 22 bp deletion in the promoter region was expected to result in reduced emerin production, but normal amounts of emerin of normal size were found in leucocytes and lymphoblastoid cell lines. This shows that DNA analysis is necessary to exclude emerin mutations in suspected X-linked EDMD. Emerin levels in female carriers often deviated from the expected 50% and this was due, in at least two families, to skewed emerin mRNA expression from the normal and mutated alleles. In one family with a novel deletion of the last three exons of the emerin gene, a carrier had a cardiomyopathy and very low emerin levels (<5% of normal) due to skewed X-inactivation. In the three autosomal cases of EDMD, emerin was normal on western blots of blood cells, which suggests that autosomal EDMD is not caused by indirect reduction of emerin levels.      

变应性鼻炎脱敏治疗的效果观察

目的观察变应性鼻炎（AR）脱敏治疗的效果，探讨影响变应性鼻炎脱敏治疗效果的相关因素。方法对185例AR患者通过皮肤试验，选择敏感变应原浸液，按递增剂量进行常规皮下脱敏治疗。根据患者治疗前后的症状和体征得分情况，分为显效、有效和无效。选择性别、年龄、病程、病情、伴慢性鼻窦炎、伴哮喘、脱敏治疗时间、皮试反应等8个影响变应性鼻炎脱敏治疗效果的可能因素进行多元回归分析，筛查影响脱敏治疗效果的因素。结果总有效率74．6％，其中显效22．9％，有效51．7％。影响脱敏治疗效果的主要因素是治疗时间，即时间越长，效果越好（P〈0．01）；其次是年龄因素，年龄越小，效果越好（P〈0．05）；伴慢性鼻窦炎和伴哮喘也可能影响脱敏治疗效果（P值分别为0．072和0．069）。结论变应性鼻炎脱敏治疗是有效的，脱敏治疗时间越长、年龄越小，效果越好。     

Foraminal spurs: a normal variant in the lumbar spine

A normal variant, the foraminal spur, is described in five patients. It was seen on computed tomographic studies as a bony process extending from either the pars or the pedicle into the neuroforamen dorsal to the nerve root. In four of the cases it was seen bilaterally. None of the patients had any symptoms related to these spurs. No associated disease of the neuroforamen or facet was present. These spurs most likely represent ossification of the ligamentum flavum at its point of insertion and should not be mistaken for osteophytes, free disk fragments that have calcified, or fracture fragments. Sagittal reformations are helpful in visualizing the extent of the foraminal spurs.
