心血管外科术后急性肾功能衰竭的处理

目的：总结两组心血管外科术后急性肾功能衰竭病例的治疗经验，提出心血管外科术后急性肾功能衰竭的特点、早期诊断标准及处理原则。方法：１７例心血管外科术后急性肾功能衰竭病例，以入院先后分为两组。第１组８例，第２组９例。回顾第１组病例的急性肾功能衰竭的治疗经验，总结腹膜透析、血液透析和血液滤过的优缺点。在第２组病例治疗中，以急性肾功能衰竭的早期诊断为前题，早期开始腹膜透析。同时，强调综合治疗的重要性。结果：第１组病例均死亡。第２组病例，７例存活（７８％）。结论：心血管外科术后急性肾功能衰竭的早期诊断和早期肾功能替代疗法，是治疗成败的关键。腹膜透析简便易行，在急性肾功能衰竭的早期开始腹膜透析，可以收到良好效果，并以此作为心血管外科术后急性肾功能衰竭的首选肾功能替代疗法。

Characteristics of β-endorphin-induced histamine release from rat serosal mast cells Comparison with neurotensin,dynorphin and compound 48/80

Summary Rat peritoneal mast cells were exposed to the neurohormone and basic opioid peptide -endorphin. -Endorphin induced a dose-dependent release of histamine from the mast cells. A significant histamine release was found at 5 mol/l of -endorphin and maximal release (35% of total) at 20 mol/l. The histamine release process was very rapid and terminated within 30 s at 37°C, and in this sense is very similar to the histamine release induced by compound 48/80 or neurotensin. The histamine release was temperature-dependent showing an optimum release around 30°C, and it was independent of available extracellular calcium, but was inhibited in the presence of high extracellular calcium concentrations. Naloxone, only in very high concentrations (10 mmol/l), inhibited the release, and the very same concentration also inhibited the neurotensin — as well as the compound 48/80-induced histamine release. Cromoglycate and benzalkoniumchloride, a 48/80 antagonist, both produced a progressive dose-dependent inhibition of -endorphin-, neurotensin- as well as compound 48/80-induced histamine release. Taken together, the findings indicate that the opioid peptide -endorphin induces a selective, energy-dependent release of histamine from peritoneal rat mast cells. The pattern of release has much in common with that of compound 48/80 and other basic peptides, such as neurotensin and substance P. In addition this pattern of release is similar to that induced by dynorphin. Send offprint requests to Anita Sydbom at the above address     

Two Cases of Peritoneal Serous Papillary Adenocarcinoma

Two cases of peritoneal papillary carcinoma are reported. The patient in the first case was a 71-year-old woman with symptoms of obstructive ileus. Laparotomy revealed a tumor in the omentum involving the transverse colon, and several small tumors in the peritoneum and pelvic wall. However, no primary site of the tumor was seen in the ovary, pancreas, or gastrointestinal tract. The patient in the second case was a 44-year-old woman with carcinomatous peritonitis. Postmortem examination revealed multiple tumors in the peritoneum, omentum, and pelvic wall. Tumors were also found in the cortex with mild invasion of the underlying parenchyma of the bilateral ovaries, although these lesions were thought to be metastatic. The histologic features of the tumor in both cases were those of tubulopapillary adenocarcinoma containing scattered psammoma bodies. The cells were positive with the PAS D technique, but negative with alcian blue staining. In both cases, the serum levels of CA-125 were considerably elevated, and the tumor cells showed positivity for CA-125, S 100 protein, cytokeratin and EMA by im-munohistochemistry. The present cases were most likely peritoneal serous papillary adenocarcinoma derived from extraovarian peritoneal mesothelium with miillerian potential, being different from the usual type of diffuse malignant mesothelioma.

Lymphoid and non-lymphoid cells in the adenoid of children with otitis media with effusion: a comparative study

We characterized on immuno- and enzymecytochemical level the lymphoid and non-lymphoid cells in the adenoid of children with upper respiratory tract infections (URI) and otitis media with effusion (OME) and compared these with the adenoid of children with URI without OME and with the adenoid of 'healthy' children and adults. Besides macrophages and dendritic cells we also showed the presence of MHC class II positive, ciliated, epithelial cells. These non-lymphoid cells were present in all adenoids. However, their number was less than 1% of all cells. We found no difference in lymphocyte subsets from children with URI + OME compared with those from children with URI alone. These two groups showed a significant decrease of CD8-positive (suppressor/cytotoxic) cells and a slight increase in CD22-positive B cells in comparison to 'healthy' children. No difference was found in percentages of CD4-positive (helper/inducer) cells. The localization of the lymphoid subsets in adenoids of children with URI and/or OME did not differ from those of 'healthy' children and adults.     

Immunocytochemical characterization of lymphocytes in benign and malignant lymphocyte - rich serous effusions

Summary The cytological diagnosis of malignant Lymphoma in serous effusions can be difficult because reactive lymphocytes may be morphologically indistinguishable from malignant cells in lymphocytic and other low grade Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. As a result of the present study, diagnostic accuracy can be improved by means of B- and T-cell enumeration using an immunoalkaline-phosphatase method (IAP). 30 cytological specimens, including 28 pleural, 1 pericardial and 1 ascitic fluids, were studied with a panel of monoclonal anti B- and anti T-cell antibodies (PAN B, kappa, lambda, T1, T2, OKT4, T8). Reactive lymphocytic effusions were characterized by a predominance of T cells constituting 80% of all lymphocytes with an excess of helper/inducer cells (mean helper to suppressor ratio 3.0) and by a surface kappa to surface lambda ratio of 1.6 on B-cells. Tuberculous effusions showed a similar distribution of lymphocyte-subpopulations whilst most of the carcinomatous fluids showed a lower percentage of T cells (lowest value 67%) and lower Th:Ts ratio (mean 2.0). Lymphoid cells in samples of five B-cell lymphomas were characterized by T-cell depression ( 70%). B-cells in three cases expressed clear cut light chain monoclonality which was at least suggested in the other two cases.Lymphoid cells from two cases of Hodgkin's disease expressed an indistinct immunological pattern. Labelling of cytoplasmic immunoglobulins (heavy and light chains) using the peroxidase antiperoxidase method (PAP) may be important to characterize neoplasms of the plasma cell series.It is concluded that the chosen panel of antibodies in combination with IAP labelling method may be of great value in identifying B-cell lymphomas. The technique can be used in the routine laboratory and storage of unlabelled and labelled slides over long periods is possible.Dedicated to Professor K. Lennert, Kiel, on the occasion of his 65th birthdayThis study was supported by the Krebsliga St. Gallen/Appenzell     

Comparison of three commonly used cytologic preparations in effusion immunocytochemistry.

Discrepant results in effusion immunocytochemistry are often the result of specimen processing. Smears, cytospins, cell blocks, and monolayer preparations have all been used in various published studies; thus, there is no consistency in the immunostaining process for cytology to compare with the surgical pathology "gold standard" results. We sought to evaluate optimal specimen preparation for the immunostaining of effusion samples. Fourteen reactive and 15 malignant effusion samples (various epithelial/mesothelial neoplasms) were each prepared in three forms: air-dried cytospins (postfixed in ethanol), formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded cell blocks, and liquid-based thin-layer (ThinPrep, CYTYC, Boxborough, MA) processing. All slides were immunostained with antibodies commonly used in effusion cytology: HBME-1, calretinin, E-cadherin, BerEP4, B72.3, LeuM1, and CA19-9. Cytospin and ThinPrep samples performed in a similar manner: high background staining was encountered in 66% of cases, most evident in three-dimensional clusters of cells. In addition, membrane staining patterns were difficult to interpret. Cell blocks provided the best milieu for morphologic interpretation, with less background staining (only 17% of cases) and results that most closely approximated those reported in the surgical pathology literature. The cost per test for cell block immunocytochemistry was also the most economical for our laboratory.
