IgM抗体诊断早期先天梅毒

我们用梅毒特异性19（s)IgM-TPPA抗体检测方法，对5例常规梅毒血清学方法RPR和TPPA两个试验均阳性的新生儿（其母亲已在怀孕时被确诊为不同病期梅毒）进行了检测。患儿中有3例19（s)IgM-TPPA阳性，另2例阴性。最终确诊3例新生儿为先天梅毒。特异性IgM检测应该作为新生儿和早期无症状先天梅毒确诊的实验诊断方法。加强婚前、孕前及早孕期的梅毒筛查和治疗，对控制先天梅毒的发生有重要意义。     

Sea-blue histiocyte syndrome in bone marrow secondary to total parenteral nutrition including fat-emulsion sources: a clinicopathologic study of seven cases

Bone marrow examination revealed a lipid-laden histiocytosis in seven patients undergoing long-term total parenteral nutrition necessitated by extensive short-bowel surgical resection. Clinical abnormalities occurred during this treatment which required bone marrow examination. These included hepatosplenomegaly and peripheral blood cytopenia; the median time to the detection of these abnormalities was 64 months.   The most striking change within the bone marrow was the presence of many pigment-laden histiocytes which had the typical morphology of sea-blue histiocytes seen in the so-called idiopathic sea-blue histiocyte syndrome. The occurrence of sea-blue histiocytosis in the bone marrow in association with long-term parenteral nutrition for short-bowel syndrome has not, to our knowledge, been reported previously and should now be considered in the differential diagnosis of bone marrow sea-blue histiocytosis.     

Autologous bone marrow transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia using busulfan plus etoposide as a preparative regimen

We have studied the use of a new preparative regimen for the treatment of patients in remission of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with autologous bone marrow transplantation. Chemotherapy consisted of busulfan 1 mg/kg every 6 hours for 4 days (total dose, 16 mg/kg) on days -7 through -4 followed by an intravenous infusion over 6 to 10 hours of etoposide 60 mg/kg on day -3. Autologous bone marrow, treated in vitro with 100 micrograms/mL of 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide, was infused on day 0. We have treated 58 patients up to the age of 60 years, 32 in first remission, 21 in second or third remission, and 5 with primary refractory AML unresponsive to high-dose Ara-C, but achieving remission with aggressive salvage regimens. Of the first remission patients, there has been 1 treatment related death and 5 relapses. With median follow-up of 22 months, the actuarial relapse rate is 22% +/- 9% and disease-free survival is 76% +/- 9% at 3 years. Patients with favorable French-American-British (FAB) subtypes (M3 or M4 EO) did especially well, with no relapses seen in 15 patients observed for a median of 30 months. Actuarial relapse rate at 3 years was 48% for first remission patients with less favorable FAB subtypes. Of patients in second or third remission, there were 5 treatment related deaths and 4 relapses. With median follow-up of 22 months, the actuarial relapse rate is 25% +/- 11% and disease-free survival is 56% +/- 11% at 3 years. Four of five primary refractory patients died during treatment and 1 remains in remission with short follow-up. These preliminary data are very encouraging and, if confirmed, support the use of autologous purged bone marrow transplantation using aggressive preparative regimens as one approach to improve the outcome of adults with AML.     

肺癌患者血浆cofilin蛋白含量检测在肺癌诊断中的应用分析

目的探讨血浆cofilin蛋白检测对诊断肺癌的价值。方法随机抽取60例肺癌患者作为实验组,80例健康体检者为对照组,检测两组血浆cofilin蛋白含量并比较。结果实验组血浆cofilin蛋白水平(0.538±0.145)ng/ml,对照组(0.187±0.132)ng/ml,实验组高于对照组(t=14.924,P=0.000);方差分析,实验组的三个临床分期的血浆cofilin蛋白水平差异有统计学意义(F=12.382,P0.05),Ⅲ期、Ⅳ期的血浆cofilin蛋白水平高于Ⅱ期(t=3.529,P=0.001;t=5.674,P=0.000),Ⅳ期高于Ⅲ期(t=2.085,P=0.045)。结论血浆cofilin蛋白的检测对诊断肺癌有重要参考价值,肺癌患者的血浆cofilin蛋白含量高于健康者,且临床分期越晚含量越高。     

Rigid membranes of Malayan ovalocytes: a likely genetic barrier against malaria

A high frequency of nonhemolytic hereditary ovalocytosis in Malayan aborigines is thought to result from reduced susceptibility of affected individuals to malaria. Indeed, Kidson et al. recently showed that ovalocytes from Melanesians in Papua New Guinea are resistant to infection in culture by the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum. In order to determine if protection against parasitic invasion in these ovalocytes might be the result of some altered membrane material property in these unusual cells, we measured their membrane and cellular deformability characteristics using an ektacytometer . Ovalocytic red cells were found to be much less deformable in comparison to normal discoid red cells. Similar measurements on isolated membrane preparations revealed a marked reduction in ovalocytic membrane deformability. To produce equal deformation of ovalocytic and normal membranes, ovalocytes required an 8-10-fold increase in applied shear stress, indicating that their membrane was capable of deforming under sufficient stress. To test the possibility that this increased membrane rigidity might confer resistance to parasitic invasion, we performed an in vitro invasion assay using Plasmodium falciparum merozoites and Malayan ovalocytes of varying deformability from seven different donors. The level of infection of the ovalocytes ranged from 1% to 35% of that in control cells, and the extent of inhibition appeared to be closely related to the reduction in membrane deformability. Moreover, we were able to induce similar resistance to parasitic invasion in nonovalocytic normal red cells by increasing their membrane rigidity with graded exposure to a protein crosslinking agent. Our findings suggest that resistance to parasite invasion of Malayan ovalocytes is the result of a genetic mutation that causes increased membrane rigidity.
