Treatment of scleromyxoedema with hydroxychloroquine

Background: Scleromyxoedema is a rare disease of unknown aetiology that is characterized by deposition of mucin and sclerotic induration of the skin; it is associated with paraproteinaemia. Patients suffer from progressive disability due to immobilization and cosmetic disfigurement. Treatment of scleromyxoedema is a therapeutic challenge. The antimalarial hydroxychloroquine has a rapid and reliable effect in reticular erythematous mucinosis. Patients and methods: Four consecutive patients (two women, two men; median age: 50 years) with scleromyxoedema, three of them with IgG λ paraprotein, were treated with hydroxychloroquine. Treatment was initiated with 600 mg p. o. for 10 days, followed by 400 mg for at least 4 weeks, and 200 mg thereafter. Results: Complete remission of skin manifestations was achieved in one patient, whereas three patients achieved a partial remission of 61+, 5 and 25 months' duration. Notably, three patients felt increased mobility and reduced firmness of skin during the first week of treatment, which was reflected in a rapid reduction in dermal thickness. In one patient, dysphagia was reverted as evidenced by normalization of oesophageal clearance. Paraproteinaemia was not influenced at all. Side effects included one case of electroretinogram abnormalities after 19 months of therapy and one case of leucopenia after 3 months. Conclusion: Hydroxychloroquine is an effective form of therapy for scleromyxoedema, leading to rapid and prolonged alleviation of symptoms.     

琼脂糖胶/聚苯乙烯磺酸微囊化胰B细胞株MIN6作为人工生物胰的实验研究

应用琼脂糖胶／聚苯乙烯磺酸微囊化胰B细胞林MIN6作为人工生物胰进行大鼠皮下异种移植。结果表明，在不应用任何免疫抑制剂的情况下，大鼠皮下异种移植一周后，重新取出的微囊仍保持光滑完整的球状，其内MIN6细胞仍清晰可见，囊周无明显纤维化及粘着。胰岛素释放试验结果显示，低糖浓度刺激时胰岛素的释放量为19．20±1．35μU·10microbead－1／h；高糖浓度刺激时胰岛素的释放量达到51．47±3．80μU·100microbeads-1／h，约为低糖浓度时的2．7倍，与低糖浓度时比较其差异有高度显著性（P＜0．001）。提示琼脂糖胶／聚苯乙烯磺酸微囊化胰B细胞林MIN6作为人工生物胰，既能保护移植物膜B细胞株MIN6免受排斥反应，也能维护膝B细胞株MIN6对糖刺激的有效的胰岛素分泌反应性。     

Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of new alkyl[3-(2-chloroethyl)ureido]benzene derivatives

Several alkyl[3-(2-chloroethyl)ureido] (CEU) benzene derivatives were prepared as potential anticancer agents. These new compounds were readily prepared in good yields by addition of anilines to 2-chloroethylisocyanate. Their cytotoxic activity was evaluated on human breast cancer (MDA-MB-231), human colon adenocarcinoma (LoVo) and mouse lymphocytic leukemia (P388D₁) tumor cell lines. Several new CEUs were significantly more cytotoxic than the nitrogen mustard chlorambucil. The biological activity of these aromatic urea derivatives seems to be related to the nature and position of the alkyl substituents on the aromatic ring. Substitution by branched alkyl groups on position 4 of the aromatic ring led to cytotoxic molecules which are up to 5 times more potent than the standard chlorambucil.     

Fentanyl and the interleukin-6 response to surgery

It has been suggested that large doses of opioids may suppress the interleukin-6 response to surgery. We examined the effects of the supplementation of inhalational anaesthesia with either 3 or 15 μg.kg⁻¹ fentanyl on the circulating interleukin-6, interleukin-8, C-reactive protein, cortisol and glucose concentrations in 16 patients undergoing pelvic surgery. In both groups, surgery evoked the expected glucose, cortisol and interleukin-6 response but no increase in interleukin-8 was detected. There were no significant differences between the two groups. We conclude that the supplementation of inhalational anaesthesia with conventional doses of opioids does not modify the cytokine response to surgery.     

小儿白血病瘤细胞P—糖蛋白测定方法及应用

本文介绍免疫组化法检测小儿白血病瘤细胞（Ｐ－ｇｐ）。检测３０例小儿白血病细胞膜Ｐ－ｇｐ，观察其原发耐药性。３０例中有８例ｐ－ｇｐ阳性，总阳性率２６．６７％，其中ＡＮＬＬ单项阳性率３３．３３％，ＡＬＬ为２０％。本组病例耐约性最高的是ＣＭＬ，其次是ＡＮＬＬ，ＡＬＬ组最低。同时发现ＭＤＲ阳性者复发率高，ＭＤＲ阴性者复发率低，多因素分析表明ＭＤＥＲ对初诊白血病患者预后及抗癌药物选择有重要意义。目的临床评价ＭＤＲ采用检测ｍｄｒ１ｍＲＮＡ或Ｆ－ｇｐ，本文认为采用简便、快速的免疫组化法检测Ｐ－ｇｐ在临床上具有较大的实用价值。     

Soluble CD14 but not interleukin-6 is a new marker for clinical activity in atopic dermatitis

Summary Levels of soluble IL-2 receptors, IL-6, soluble CD23, soluble CD14 and ECP (eosinophilic cationic protein) were measured as markers of T-cell, B-cell, monocyte and eosinophilic leucocyte activation in 26 patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) on admission to (A) and at discharge from (D) the Department of Dermatology in Zurich. The serum levels of sIL-2R, IL-6, sCD23, sCD14 and ECP were significantly elevated in AD patients in comparison with the normal values of healthy donors. A significant decrease in sIL-2R (p=0.0093) and in sCD14 (p=0.0134) levels was demonstrated between A and D, correlating with the improvement in the skin intensity score (SIS). In addition, a significant correlation of the sCD14 levels and the SIS at A was demonstrated (p=0.0415). These results also incriminate monocytes in the pathogenesis of AD, indicating that, besides sIL-2R and ECP, SCD14 could also be a possible marker for the disease activity.     

硬膜外腔阻滞对胸部手术应激反应的影响

目的 观察硬膜外腔阻滞对胸部手术应激激素和细胞因子的影响。方法20例食管癌手术病人,随机分为两组,每组10例,即全麻复令硬膜外腔阻滞(GEA)组和全麻(GA)组,分别测定麻醉诱导前、手术2h、手术4h、术毕、术后1d及术后3d的血浆去甲肾上腺素、肾上腺素、血清促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)、皮质醇、C-反应蛋白、IL-6及IL-10的水平。结果 血浆去甲肾上腺素和血清皮质醇GEA组术中术后无显著改变,但GA组术毕和术后1d显著升高(P<0.05),术后3d恢复至术前水平,组间比较前者有显著差异(P<0.05)。两组血浆肾上腺素、IL-10术中术后均无显著变化。两组血清ACTH、IL-6及CRP术中术后均显著升高(P<0.05),组间比较无显著差异。结论 硬膜外腔阻滞可以减轻胸部手术的应激反应。IL-6是较CRP更灵敏的反映组织损伤的炎性指标。
