Diagnostik des Synovialsarkoms Simultane t(X;18) FISH- und SYT/SSX-RT-PCR-Analyse

Synovialsarkome sind mitunter schwierig von anderen Spindelzellsarkomen zu unterscheiden. In diesen Fällen kann der Nachweis einer t(X;18) Translokation unter Verwendung der FISH und RT-PCR helfen. Die vorliegende Arbeit wurde unter der Fragestellung durchgeführt, ob bei Synovialsarkom-verdächtigen Tumoren der simultane Einsatz beider Methoden zum Translokationsnachweis erforderlich ist oder ob eine der Methoden ausreicht.In die Studie wurde Paraffin-eingebettetes Tumorgewebe von 53 Patienten einbezogen, bei denen nach Lichtmikroskopie und Immunhistochemie der Verdacht auf das Vorliegen eines Synovialsarkoms bestand. Es erfolgte der Nachweis von t(X;18) mittels FISH und RT-PCR.     

静脉丙种球蛋白冲击治疗溶血尿毒综合征

目的探讨大剂量静脉用丙种球蛋白(IVIG)治疗儿童溶血尿毒综合征(HUS)的效果,以降低HUS的病死率。方法将本院收治的HUS 30例分为2组。普通组14例,予以综合治疗、甲泼尼龙静脉冲击及透析;冲击组16例,在普通治疗基础上早期联合应用IVIG,400 mg/(kg.d),3-5 d为1个疗程。结果冲击组病死率6.3%(1/16);普通组病死率42.8%(6/14)。两组病死率经统计学处理有显著性差异(P<0.05)。结论IVIG能降低HUS的病死率。     

载瘤动脉闭塞术治疗颅内巨大动脉瘤的探讨

目的总结和探讨脑血管造影和载瘤动脉闭塞在治疗颅内巨大动脉瘤上的作用及特点。方法60例颅内巨大动脉瘤患者,根据其脑血管造影的特点采取血管内介入方法[可脱式球囊和(或)弹簧圈]闭塞载瘤动脉近端53例、闭塞载瘤动脉两端后孤立动脉瘤7例;其中23例闭塞前先行颅内-外血管搭桥术。结果出院时Rankin评分分级:单纯血管内介入治疗组37例中轻残3例,合并颅内-外血管搭桥术组23例中死亡1例、重残2例。1-6年的影像学随访动脉瘤无复发。结论血管内介入结合颅内-外血管搭桥术闭塞载瘤动脉是治疗颅内巨大动脉瘤的方法之一。

Use of fMRI to predict psychiatric adverse effects of interferon treatment for Hepatitis C – preliminary report

Interferon alfa2 (IFN-α2) is a parenterally administered cytokine used to treat patients with Hepatitis C and B, and malignancy. Interferon (INF) has a relatively high rate of central nervous system (CNS) adverse effects, including agitation, depression, fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, suicidal thought and drug craving. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) we studied patients with Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who were not more than mildly clinically depressed at baseline for their CNS reaction to IFN-α2. During fMRI, patients underwent visual stimulation with pictures designed to induce feelings of depression. In the two patients who became clinically depressed or markedly anxious while on treatment with interferon, but not in patients who did not experience these effects, there was a significant activation in specific areas of the brain known to be involved with depression, along with an increase above baseline in the Beck Depression Scale for the patient who developed INF-induced depression. The activation pattern differed from that previously observed for endogenous depression, indicating that INF-induced depression may differ in its underlying neuropathology. Functional magnetic resonance imaging can be an important tool in understanding and monitoring for (INF and other) medication-induced CNS effects, and response to treatment.     

New insights on COPD imaging via CT and MRI

Multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) can be used to quantify morphological features and investigate structure/function relationship in COPD. This approach allows a phenotypical definition of COPD patients, and might improve our understanding of disease pathogenesis and suggest new therapeutical options. In recent years, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has also become potentially suitable for the assessment of ventilation, perfusion and respiratory mechanics. This review focuses on the established clinical applications of CT, and novel CT and MRI techniques, which may prove valuable in evaluating the structural and functional damage in COPD.
