High-dose intravenous IgG for chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in adults

Summary Sixteen adult patients of mean age 48 years with chronic ITP were studied for platelet response to high-dose (0.4 g/kg body weight per day for five consecutive days) intravenous polyvalent intact IgG in the absence of any concurrent treatment. The platelet count returned to normal values in nine patients, a partial response (rise in the platelet count between 50 and 150 ×10⁹/l) was observed in three cases. One patient refractory to any other treatment went into a sustained remission. In the other responsive patients the response was only transient. Among seven splenectomised patients only three responded to IgG infusions versus nine in the non-splenectomised group. The length of ITP history appeared as a more critical factor for the response to IgG than previous splenectomy.

川崎病治疗前发热时间与丙种球蛋白耐药的相关性临床研究北大核心CSCD

目的 探讨川崎病(Kawasaki disease,KD)患儿丙种球蛋白(intravenous immunoglobulin,IVIG)治疗前发热时间与IVIG耐药的关系。方法 回顾性收集2018年1月至2020年12月收治KD患儿317例的病例资料,根据IVIG治疗前发热时间分为短热程组(发热时间≤4 d,n=92)和长热程组(发热时间>4 d,n=225),根据是否发生IVIG耐药将每组再分为耐药组和非耐药组。分析比较不同热程耐药组及非耐药组的基线资料及实验室结果,并采用多因素logistic回归分析IVIG耐药的影响因素。结果 短热程组中IVIG耐药19例(20.7%),并发冠状动脉瘤5例(5.4%);长热程组中IVIG耐药22例(9.8%),并发冠状动脉瘤19例(8.4%);短热程组IVIG耐药率明显高于长热程组(P<0.05),而冠状动脉瘤发生率在两组间差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。短热程组中,耐药患儿治疗前血钠水平低于非耐药患儿,而降钙素原、C反应蛋白及N末端B型利钠肽原水平则明显高于非耐药患儿(P<0.05)。长热程组中,耐药患儿治疗前血钠及肌酸激酶水平低于非耐药患儿(P<0.05)。多因素logistic回归分析显示,血钠水平降低与长热程组KD患儿IVIG耐药有关(P<0.05)。结论 KD患儿IVIG耐药因IVIG治疗前发热时间不同而异。在治疗前发热时间>4 d的KD患儿中,血钠降低与IVIG耐药具有相关性。     

Decreased incidence of hepatic veno-occlusive disease and fewer hemostatic derangements associated with intravenous busulfan vs oral busulfan in adults conditioned with busulfan + cyclophosphamide for allogeneic bone marrow transplantation

We investigated the occurrence of hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in 241 adults conditioned with busulfan + cyclophosphamide at a single institute and retrospectively compared 186 patients who received oral busulfan (O-Bu group) with 55 patients who received intravenous busulfan (I-Bu group). Various hemostatic parameters were determined at baseline and on days 0, 7, 14, and 21. Hepatic VOD occurred in 41.7% of the O-Bu group and in 18.5% of the I-Bu group. Multivariate analysis revealed that the I-Bu group had significantly decreased risk of VOD compared to the O-Bu group [p=0.006, odds ratio: (OR) 0.345]. Eleven patients in the O-Bu group and none of the I-Bu group developed severe VOD. A repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a between-subjects factor revealed significant differences in post-transplant levels of antithrombin III, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), and D-dimer according to the occurrence of VOD. The level of antithrombin III was significantly lower, whereas the level of D-dimer was significantly higher, in the O-Bu group than in the I-Bu group. These findings show that, in adults conditioned with busulfan + cyclophosphamide, intravenous busulfan was associated with significantly decreased incidence of VOD and fewer hemostatic derangements after allogeneic BMT compared to oral busulfan.     

The response to intravenous glucose infusion in normal and diabetic subjects

Summary Data from single injection studies on 23 normal subjects led to development of an intravenous primed — constant infusion test. The plasma glucose response to this test was determined in 48 normal and 24 diabetic subjects. Variation in plasma glucose concentration at equilibrium was minimal in normal and marked in diabetic subjects — assessed by the difference between maximum and minimum glucose concentration over the final 25 min of a 50 min infusion. This parameter was used successfully in predicting the course of 16 pregnant women with clinical suspicion of prediabetes unresolved by oral glucose tolerance tests.Submitted as part fulfillment of the requirements for Doctor of Medicine, Monash University, Melbourne, 1967.     

Sequential Treatment of Guillain-Barré Syndrome with Extracorporeal Elimination and Intravenous Immunoglobulin

Abstract: Plasma exchange and administration of intravenous immunoglobulin (IgG) are established treatments for Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). Elimination of postulated pathogenetic factors by plasma exchange or selective adsorption treatment using affinity-type adsorption columns and subsequent immunomodulation by intravenous IgG may provide a more effective treatment. Forty-five patients with acute GBS were prospectively examined using a clinical score. We treated 11 patients by plasma exchange, 13 patients by selective adsorption using a tryptophan-linked polyvinyl alcohol gel adsorbent, and 21 patients by selective adsorption followed by intravenous IgG. The patients treated sequentially by selective adsorption and intravenous IgG improved significantly better than the patients who received plasma treatment only. The results suggest that sequential treatment of GBS may be superior to plasma treatment alone. The higher cost of combined treatment may be offset by lower overall expenditure.     

IVIg therapy in autoimmunity and related disorders: our experience with a large cohort of patients

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is used to treat a number of immune-deficiencies and autoimmune diseases. It has been shown that IVIg contains anti-idiotypic antibodies, which explains its immunomodulatory action.

In murine models, recent investigations have demonstrated that IVIg can prevent and reduce the affliction by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and scleroderma. Relevant disease-specific fractions of IVIg were able to reproduce and even enhance the therapeutic effect in a murine model.

IVIg treatment before tumor resection in rodents inoculated with melanoma and sarcoma cells dramatically improved the cure rate (50%) in comparison to the control group (0%).

In patients affected by SLE, several clinical manifestations responded to IVIg treatment including serositis, hematological manifestations, treatment-resistant nephritis and central nervous system involvement. Similarly, in women with recurrent fetal loss due to APS, IVIg was able to diminish the abortion rate. Vasculitides such as Churg–Strauss' and Wegener's and skin fibrosis in patients affected by scleroderma improved after IVIg treatment. In agreement with in vitro investigations, prolonged survival has been noted in cancer patients treated with IVIg.

We suggest that in the presence of a steroid and immunosuppressive-resistant autoimmune disease, IVIg is a rational and safe choice.
