Juvenile Xanthogranuloma with Ocular Involvement

Abstract:   Juvenile xanthogranuloma is a benign histiocytic skin disorder encountered primarily in infancy and childhood. Approximately 0.4% of cases exhibit ocular manifestations, which can result in glaucoma and blindness. We present a case of a 7-month-old male with unilateral glaucoma associated with Juvenile xanthogranuloma, and emphasize the importance of an ocular screening in patients with Juvenile xanthogranuloma, especially those with periocular lesions.     

5-羟色胺受体激动剂对脊髓损伤猫排尿功能的影响

目的探讨5-羟色胺(5-HT)受体激动剂对猫脊髓损伤后膀胱过度活动的影响。方法雌性猫18只,其中正常假手术组5只,脊髓损伤组13只。术后6~8周,氯醛糖麻醉下,在猫颈动脉及膀胱内置管,连接压力感受器,记录诱发膀胱收缩的膀胱容量阈值、膀胱容量、剩余尿量、排尿量和血压。静脉注入5-HT1A受体激动剂8-OH-DPAT(0.3~30μg/kg)或5-HT1B/1D受体激动剂GR-46611(0.03~300μg/kg),得到剂量-效应曲线后再给予5HT1A受体抑制剂WAY-100635(300μg/kg),比较给药前后各项指标变化。结果正常猫使用8-OH-DPAT后,膀胱容量阈值、膀胱容量、剩尿量均有增加趋势,但差异无统计学意义;8-OH-DPAT和GR-46611均能使脊髓损伤猫的膀胱容量阈值、膀胱容量、剩余尿量增加,且效应随着剂量增加而增加,差异有统计学意义。WAY-100635能抵消8-OH-DPAT的作用,但对GR-46611无影响。结论5-HT1A和5-HT1B/1D受体激动剂能改善慢性脊髓损伤后的膀胱过度活动,增加膀胱容量。

Outcome of frozen embryo replacement cycles following elective cryopreservation of all embryos in women at risk of developing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome

Aim: Our aim was to compare the outcome in subsequent frozen embryo replacement cycles in four groups of patients who had elective cryopreservation of all their embryos because they were considered to be at increased risk of developing severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Design: Sixty-two (91%) of 68 IVF cycles (68 patients) in which elective cryopreservation of all embryos was performed were analyzed. All patients continued on the GnRH agonist, buserelin, after oocyte recovery until the onset of vaginal bleeding. Frozen embryo replacement occurred in a hormone replacement cycle that started either on day 3 of the withdrawal bleed (group I;N=15) or after serum estradiol levels had fallen to <100 pmol/L (group II;N=16). The other patients commenced a frozen embryo replacement cycle several months later in either a hormone replacement (group III;N=15) or a natural (group IV;N=16) cycle. Results: Two patients developed severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. There were no significant differences among the four groups regarding demographic variables, the dose of hMG used, and the clinical outcome. There was a higher but not significantly different clinical pregnancy rate in group I (26.7%), compared to group II (12.5%), group III (13.3%), and group IV (18.8%). Conclusions: Several options exist for the timing and protocol used for frozen embryo replacement in patients who had elective cryopreservation for the prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, none of which was found to be clearly superior in this observational report.Presented at the 1994 Annual Conference of the American Fertility Society.

Seroepidemiological characterization of a syphilis epidemic in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, formerly a yaws endemic area.

The annual numbers of reported cases of syphilis in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) increased from none in 1983 to more than 600 in 1989, suggesting a large outbreak of syphilis. Much of the increase resulted from expanded serological screening. The apparent outbreak of syphilis, therefore, may have been partly the result of increased surveillance or, since the RMI was formerly a yaws endemic area, possibly due to a resurgence of yaws. To address this problem and better characterize the epidemic, we analysed results from a 1989/90 Ministry of Health Services mass serological screening on Majuro Atoll, the main population centre. Serum specimens from 9160 people (86% of residents aged 15-44 years) on Majuro were screened with the rapid plasma reagin (RPR) card test; we repeated the RPR and performed a confirmatory microhaemagglutination assay for Treponema pallidum-specific antibodies (MHA-TP) on a sample of serum specimens. To estimate the seroprevalence of syphilis, we also tested a sample of RPR nonreactive specimens by MHA-TP. Among people less than 45 years of age, total (11.5%) and high-titre (5.2%) seropositivity rates were highest in the 20-24 year age group, as was MHA-TP seroprevalence (15.9%). These results suggested that a large outbreak of syphilis was responsible for the observed seroreactivity. Cumulative incidence modelling and comparisons with the results of a previous serosurvey conducted in 1985 suggested that the duration of the syphilis epidemic was approximately 10 years and that incidence had not increased appreciably since 1985.     

外伤后癫痫大鼠模型脑内铁蛋白与转铁蛋白含量的动态变化研究

目的:从脑内铁代谢的角度研究铁在外伤后癫(PTE)发病机制中的可能作用。方法:用ELISA方法检测PTE大鼠模型脑组织内铁蛋白(Ft)和转铁蛋白(Tf)的动态含量。结果:早期Ft在整个脑组织内呈现为即刻反应性升高,15d后其含量在实验对侧脑组织内恢复至正常范围,而在实验侧脑组织内呈现继续升高的趋势;Tf含量只在实验侧脑组织内升高,且呈现随时间继续升高趋势。结论:PTE大鼠模型中的铁代谢过程十分复杂,相关蛋白尤其是Tf含量的增加提示铁可能是外伤后癫灶形成机制的一部分。
