Cow's milk-specific immunoglobulin E levels as predictors of clinical reactivity in the follow-up of the cow's milk allergy infants

Background IgE‐mediated cow's milk proteins (CMPs) allergy shows a tendency to disappear with age. The sooner tolerance is detected, the earlier the substitute diets can be suspended and the quicker family emotional hardship is alleviated. Objective To analyse the specific IgE levels to cow's milk and its proteins, which help to separate tolerant from no tolerant children in the follow‐up of infants with allergy to cow's milk. Patients and methods Sixty‐six infants diagnosed with IgE‐mediated allergy to CMPs were included in this prospective follow‐up study. Periodic reassessments were carried out every 6 months until they were 2‐years old and then, annually, until tolerance arose or until the last reassessment in which tolerance had not been achieved. Non‐tolerant infants were followed, at least, for a period of 3 years. In each visit, the same skin tests and determination of specific IgE (CAP System FEIA) for milk and its proteins were carried out. The open challenge test was repeated unless a clear transgression to milk, which came to be positive, had taken place within the previous 3 months in each of the follow‐up visits. Specific IgE levels to milk and its proteins, in different moments of the follow‐up were analysed by means of the receiver‐operating characteristic curve to predict clinical reactivity. Results Throughout the follow‐up 45 (68%) infants became tolerant. The follow‐up mean for tolerant infants was 21.2 months whereas for non‐tolerant infants it was 58 months. The specific IgE levels which were predictors of the clinical reactivity (positive predictive value (PPV)90%), grew as the age of the infants increased: 1.5, 6 and 14 kU_A/L for milk in the age range 13–18 and 19–24 months and in the third year, respectively. Specific IgE levels to casein: 0.6, 3 and 5 kU_A/L, respectively, predicted clinical reactivity (PPV90%) in the different analysed moments of the follow‐up. The cut‐off points: 2.7, 9 and 24 kU_A/L for milk and 2, 4.2 and 9 kU_A/L for casein, respectively, predicted clinical reactivity with an accuracy 95% corresponding to a specificity of 90%. Conclusions Monitorization of specific IgE concentration for milk and casein by means of the CAP system in allergic children to CMPs allows us to predict, to a high degree of probability, clinical reactivity. Age factor must be taken into account to evaluate the specific IgE levels which are predictors of tolerance or clinical reactivity.     

西咪替丁对血浆氨茶碱浓度的影响

在１６例呼吸系疾病患者观察了西咪替丁对氨茶碱血浆浓度的影响。结果表明加服西咪替丁４００ｍｇ，３次／日，３天后血浆氨茶碱谷浓度和峰浓度均明显增高（ｐ＜０．０１），其中谷浓度升高４３．０±５１．１％，峰浓度升高２７．０±２９．０％。提示二者合用时，应适当减少氨茶碱用量，以避免氢茶碱中毒的发生。

高效液相色谱法测定人血浆中翁丹西隆浓度

建立了翁丹西隆的高效液相色谱测定法。血浆样品用醋酸乙酯萃取，以ＺｏｒｂａｘＳｉｌｉｃａ为固定相，６０％０．０２５ｍｏｌ／Ｌ乙酸钠缓冲液（ｐＨ４．２）、４０％乙腈为流动相，紫外３１０ｎｍ处测定。采用外标法峰高定量。最低检出浓度达１ｎｇ／ｍｌ，线性范围１．０～４０．０ｎｇ／ｍｌ（ｒ＝０．９９９６），平均回收率为（９５．２２±３．５８）％（ＲＳＤ３．７６％）。用本法测定人血浆中翁丹西隆浓度具有快速、简便、专一性和灵敏度高的优点。

人大肠肥大细胞多态性光镜特征(两种新类群:CTMC-1与MMC-1的发现)

人体肥大细胞的多态性已受到广泛关注,对于肥大细胞分型的研究已成为这一问题的关键。本实验研究了42例人大肠4种肥大细胞类群光镜特征,其中两种为作者的新近发现,暂命名为结缔组织肥大细胞-1(CTMC-1)和粘膜肥大细胞-1(MMC-1)。     

人体内镭-226含量及分布

本文分析了101例成人骨灰样品和5例成人尸解样品中镭-226和钙的含量。实验范围内,人骨中镭-226含量与年龄及骨中钙含量呈二元线性相关关系。用苏州市人口相应的年龄构成计权的人骨中镭-226含量为(5.99+0.08)×10^-4Bq／g灰。所测各部位骨的骨灰中镭-226含量的差异无显著性意义;不同部位骨的灰化率差异甚大,由尸解样品中镭-226含量估算的人体软组织中镭-226负荷量约占全身负荷量的20%。此外,本文还根据所测骨、肺、肝,胃,小肠、大肠、骨胳肌和皮肤中镭-226含量,对相应受辐射危险的组织进行了剂量估算,并估算了接受镭-226及其短寿命子体所致年剂量后随机性健康效应发生的几率,将随机性建康效应发生的几率与世界癌症发病率最低的国家或地区的相应组织或器官的癌症发病率相比较,发现前者比后者至少低约二个数量级。     

Kathon® CG reactivity in 1396 consecutively patch tested patients in the Copenhagen area

In 1396 consecutively patch tested patients 18 (1.3%) reacted to Kathon CG. Relevance was established in 4 of the 18 patients. The frequency of positive reactions to Kathon CG in eczema patients seems to have been stable in Denmark during the period 1983 to 1988.     

修订车间空气中溶剂汽油容许浓度的研究

通过对969例汽油作业工人的体格检查和对86个作业点760次车间内汽油浓度的测定结果表明,在达标的条件下,工人仍有神经衰弱,植物神经功能障碍的临床症状,说明现行车间的卫生标准应当进行修订。根据动物实验资料计算 MAC,180汽油为198.6mg/m~3,120汽油为225.0mg/m~3,二者相差不大,我们建议车间空气中溶剂汽油容许浓度可修订为200mg/m~3。
