Pharmacologic induction of fetal hemoglobin production

Reactivation of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) expression is an important therapeutic option in adult patients with hemoglobin disorders. The understanding of the developmental regulation of γ-globin gene expression was followed by the identification of a number of chemical compounds that can reactivate HbF synthesis in vitro and in vivo in patients with hemoglobin disorders. These HbF inducers can be grouped in several classes based on their mechanisms of action. This article focuses on pharmacologic agents that were tested in humans and discusses current knowledge about the mechanisms by which they induce HbF.     

口咽癌的综合治疗结果：单中心治疗经验

口咽鳞癌的临床处理仍存在争议，该文对口咽癌患者应用原发灶手术切除、颈淋巴清扫及术后行放疗的效果进行总结。对复合标准的211例患者进行回顾性研究。应用Kaplan—Meier曲线计算总生存率及无瘤生存率,应用单变量及多变量统计学分析研究疾病的临床特点与预后的关系。2年及5年的无瘤生存率分别为79．8％和68．8％．单因素分析表明，肿瘤切缘阳性是无瘤生存率重要也是唯一的预后因素。     

Renal artery to inferior vena cava fistula following gunshot wound to the abdomen

Traumatic fistula involving the renal artery and IVC is a rare event, and typically is a result of penetrating injury. A case of right renal artery to IVC fistula following a gunshot wound to the abdomen is reported, and illustrates the significant hemodynamic changes that accompany these fistulae. We also emphasize the importance of thorough initial exploration of retroperitoneal hematomas following penetrating trauma, and review management options in the treatment of renal arteriovenous fistulae.     

血浆置换显示干细胞移植后环孢素A引起的微血管病溶血性贫血和利福平的相应颜色反应

患者为1例39岁女性,患T/NK细胞淋巴瘤,在外周血异基因干细胞移植后15天,发生环孢素A(CSA)毒性相关的微血管病溶血性贫血(MAHA).因血清肌酐从移植前的0.4mg/dL,上升至移植后第9和15天的1.0和2.9 mg/dL.故停用CSA.     

Transoral laser surgery for laryngeal cancer: outcome, complications and prognostic factors in 275 patients

AIM: Curative treatment options for laryngeal carcinoma include primary radiation therapy, open surgical techniques and transoral laser surgery (TLS). In the last decade, TLS has become an important tool in the treatment of laryngeal cancer and has become the standard approach in many institutions. The aim of this study was to review the experience of a single center institution with TLS for early and advanced laryngeal cancer. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 275 patients who underwent TLS in regard to the survival outcome and surgical complications. RESULTS: The 5-year disease-free survival estimate was 90.3% and the 10-year disease-free survival estimate was 88.2%. The 5-year larynx preservation rate estimate was 88.2% and the 10-year larynx preservation rate estimate was 87.3%. The disease-free survival was significantly worsened by the variables T and N (p=0.0003; p<0.001, respectively). Two percent of all patients required intraoperative tracheostomy and the rate of minor postoperative complications was 17%. There were no fatal complications. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that TLS is a valid treatment method for early laryngeal carcinoma. Selected cases of advanced carcinomas may also benefit from TLS.
