The most common cause of death in patients with colorectal cancer is metastatic liver disease. In order to identify patients at a high risk of developing hepatic secondaries from colorectal cancers, DNA content was measured in metastasizing colorectal primaries (Group I, n= 32) as well as in their subsequently resected liver secondaries and in sections of non-metastasizing colorectal cancers (Group II, n= 25). A modified interpretation system involving both a DNA index and percentage of cycling cells (those in S and G2 + M phases) was developed. DNA content was measured in paraffin-embedded sections by flow cytometry using internal controls (human peripheral blood mononuclear cells) and non-malignant tissue controls (19 patients with diverticular disease). In Group I there were significantly more tumours with both abnormal ploidy (aneuploid or abnormal tetraploid peak) and > 15% cycling cells compared with Group II (Chi-squared; P= 0.034). The combination of abnormal ploidy and > 15% cycling cells was superior to Dukes’ classification for identifying metastasizing tumours (Logistic Regression; P= 0.047). However, it was not possible to discriminate between the two groups using either DNA ploidy or the percentage of cycling cells alone. The metastasizing colorectal cancers exhibited similar DNA ploidy characteristics and had a similar percentage of cycling cells compared with their liver metastases. These results suggest that tumour DNA ploidy plus the percentage of cycling cells may predict the development of liver metastases and thus survival in patients with colorectal cancer. 相似文献

ATRX encodes a novel member of the SNF2 family of proteins: mutations point to a common mechanism underlying the ATR-X syndrome 总被引:11,自引:3,他引:11

It was shown recently that mutations of the ATRX gene give rise to a
severe, X-linked form of syndromal mental retardation associated with alpha
thalassaemia (ATR-X syndrome). In this study, we have characterised the
full-length cDNA and predicted structure of the ATRX protein. Comparative
analysis shows that it is an entirely new member of the SNF2 subgroup of a
superfamily of proteins with similar ATPase and helicase domains. ATRX
probably acts as a regulator of gene expression. Definition of its genomic
structure enabled us to identify four novel splicing defects by screening
52 affected individuals. Correlation between these and previously
identified mutations with variations in the ATR-X phenotype provides
insights into the pathophysiology of this disease and the normal role of
the ATRX protein in vivo.

The clinical course of acute pancreatitis is variable. Severe pancreatitis is observed in up to 20% of cases and is associated with high mortality rates of up to 40%. The most serious complication is the infection of the (peri-)pancreatic necroses. The therapeutic goal is debridement of the infected material. Whereas surgical methods still represent the gold standard, minimally invasive interventional approaches are gaining importance. This article reviews the different interventional procedures, particularly percutaneous, CT-guided drainage and necrosectomy. Furthermore, an overview of published studies about interventional therapy in patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis is given. 相似文献

summary This Study investigated the status and associations of perceived chewing ability of a group of 891 elderly people, aged 55-91 years (average age 66 years). The majority of subjects (69%) considered that they could chew well. Only 9% reported poor chewing ability. This judgement was not associated with age. More men (11%) than women (6%) had reported poor chewing ability. Subjects with better perceived general and craniomandibular health reported better chewing ability. However, although related to permanent tooth loss, the perception of chewing ability was not seemingly associated with prosthetic rehabilitation. All elderly subjects with complete dental arches had no complaints of perceived chewing difficulty. Freedom from symptoms of craniomandibular pain when chewing, bilateral chewing activity and a wide choice of food range or textures were associated with favourably perceived chewing ability. This study identifies several suitable criteria for judging masticatory function and suggests that these may be used to complement chewing ability as an alternative measure of masticatory performance. These criteria are applicable to the elderly person, in particular, and warrant adequate clinical application. 相似文献

In an attempt to decrease the relapse rate after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for advanced acute leukemia, we initiated studies using 131I-labeled anti-CD45 antibody (BC8) to deliver radiation specifically to hematopoietic tissues, followed by a standard transplant preparative regimen. Biodistribution studies were performed in 23 patients using 0.5 mg/kg trace 131I-labeled BC8 antibody. The BC8 antibody was cleared rapidly from plasma with an initial disappearance half-time of 1.5 +/- 0.2 hours, presumably reflecting rapid antigen- specific binding. The mean radiation absorbed doses (cGy/mCi131I administered) were as follows: marrow, 7.1 +/- 0.8; spleen, 10.8 +/- 1.4; liver, 2.7 +/- 0.2; lungs, 2.1 +/- 0.1; kidneys, 0.7 +/- 0.1; and total body, 0.4 +/- 0.03. Patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in relapse had a higher marrow dose (11.4 cGy/mCi) than those in remission (5.2 cGy/mCi; P = .001) because of higher uptake and longer retention of radionuclide in marrow. Twenty patients were treated with a dose of 131I estimated to deliver 3.5 Gy (level 1) to 7 Gy (level 3) to liver, with marrow doses of 4 to 30 Gy and spleen doses of 7 to 60 Gy, followed by 120 mg/kg cyclophosphamide (CY) and 12 Gy total body irradiation (TBI). Nine of 13 patients with AML or refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB) and two of seven with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) are alive disease-free at 8 to 41 months (median, 17 months) after BMT. Toxicity has not been measurably greater than that of CY/TBI alone, and the maximum tolerated dose has not been reached. This study demonstrates that with the use of 131I-BC8 substantially greater doses of radiation can be delivered to hematopoietic tissues as compared with liver, lung, or kidney, which may improve the efficacy of marrow transplantation. 相似文献

The rates of endocytosis, intracellular degradation, and cell-surface shedding of 125I-labeled monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) HD-37 (anti- CD19), B1 (anti-CD20), MB-1 (anti-CD37), BC8 (anti-CD45), and DA4-4 (anti-mu) by B-lymphoma cells were compared by cellular radioimmunoassay, ultrastructural autoradiography, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and thin layer chromatography using biopsy specimens from 12 patients with non- Hodgkin's lymphomas. 125I-BC8 was stably retained on the surface of lymphoma cells without appreciable internalization or shedding, whereas 125I-DA4-4 underwent rapid endocytosis and degradation. 125I-B1 was not internalized or degraded by tumor cells, but rapidly dissociated from the cell surface in intact form. Moderate rates of endocytosis, intracellular metabolism, and cell-surface shedding were shown by 125I- HD37 and 125I-MB-1. The 3 patients with diffuse, small cleaved-cell lymphomas internalized and degraded antibodies more slowly than did patients with other histologic subtypes. These kinetic differences may be important in the selection of MoAbs for immunotoxin and radioimmunoconjugate therapy of B-cell malignancies. 相似文献

Cryptic structural lesions in refractory partial epilepsy: MR imaging and CT studies 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Results of contrast material-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and T2-weighted spin-echo magnetic resonance (MR) imaging were correlated with pathologic findings in 25 patients treated surgically for refractory partial epilepsy. Of 12 lesions present, ten (83%) were detected by MR imaging and seven (58%) by CT scanning. Of nine low-grade gliomas, eight were detected by MR imaging and four by CT scanning. One posttraumatic scar and one case of temporal lobe atrophy were better demonstrated by MR imaging. A small, thrombosed arteriovenous malformation was the only lesion detected by CT scanning but not by MR imaging. No lesions were detected in 13 patients with mild gliosis and one patient with a 1.2-cm grade 1 astrocytoma. Although more sensitive than CT for detection of structural lesions in patients with refractory partial epilepsy, MR imaging resulted in a 25% false-negative diagnostic rate when a repetition time of 2,000 msec and echo time of 60 msec were used. Multi-echo imaging with at least one long echo time may be needed to increase the sensitivity of MR imaging in these patients. 相似文献
