Significant impact of cryopreserved amniotic membrane on acute ocular Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis

The ocular surface is covered by an epithelium encompassing an area including the cornea,the limbus and the conjunctiva bordered by the upper and lower lids.The healthy state of the ocular surface epithelium depends on a stable and protective preocular tear film when the eye is open.A stable preocular tear film is governed by sound ocular surface defense that involves effective neuroanatomic integration of compositional and hydrodynamic factors by two neural reflexes (1).

Therapeutic Effect of Dimethyl Dimethoxy Biphenyl Dicarboxylate on Collagen-Induced Arthritis in Rats

Objective:To study the effect of oral administration of dimethyl dimethoxy biphenyl dicarboxylate(DDB) on adjusting angiogeneic/inflammatory mediators and ameliorating the pathology of bones in rats with collagen-induced arthritis(CIA).Methods:Wistar rat model of CIA was set up using bovine collagen type Ⅱ.Fifty rats were divided into five groups randomly:normal,CIA model,DDB treatment,methotrexate(MTX) treatment,and combined DDB+MTX treatment.Ankle joints of rats were imaged with digital X-ray machine to show the destruction of joints.Fore and hind paw and knee joints were removed above the ankle joint then processed for haematoxylin and eosin staining.Plasma levels of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),platelet derived growth factor,interleukin-8(IL-8),IL-4,tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),and cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Nitric oxide levels were detected by Griess reagent.Results:Compared with the CIA model group,a remarkable reduction in various angiogenic(VEGF and IL-8) and inflammatory mediators(TNF-α,IL-4 and COX-2) after treatment with DDB either alone or combined with MTX(P0.05 or P0.01).Histopathological and X-ray findings were confirmatory to the observed DDB anti-arthritic effect.The DDB-treated group showed amelioration in signs of arthritis which appeared essentially similar to normal.Conclusion:Our data shed light on the therapeutic efficacy of DDB in experimental rheumatoid arthritis(RA) compared with a choice drug(MTX) and it may be offered as a second-line drug in the treatment of RA.     

Prosthetic urology:past,present,and future

Transplantation of an eight-organ multivisceraI graft in a patient with frozen abdomen after complicated Crohn's disease

To report an extended multivisceral transplantation (MVTx) including right kidney and ascending colon in a patient with complicated Crohn's disease (CD). A 36-year old female suffering from short bowel syndrome and frozen abdomen due to fistulizing CD after multiple abdominal operations underwent MVTx of eight organs including stomach, pancreatoduodenal complex, liver, intestine, ascending colon, right kidney, right adrenal gland, and greater omentum in November 2003. Immunosuppression consisted of alemtuzumab, tacrolimus and steroids. The patient was off parenteral nutrition by postoperative wk 3. She experienced one episode of pneumonia. The patient recovered completely and discharged 2.5 mo and was doing well 30 mo after MVTx. This is one of the very rare cases in which a complete mulitivisceral graft of eight abdominal organs was transplanted orthotopically.     

伴Leiden V因子突变和狼疮抗凝物的恶性萎缩性丘疹病（Degos病）死亡1例

恶性萎缩性丘疹病（Degos病）是一类非常罕见的疾病，其皮损特点是萎缩性丘疹和多种系统症状。作者描述了1例33岁的男性患者，其表现为泛发性皮损，与恶性萎缩性丘疹病的体征一致。患者病程中甚至发生阴茎溃疡，此症状以往仅有少数报道。患者发病2．5年后死于小肠复穿孔。实验室检查显示Leide nV因子突变和狼疮抗凝物的出现，但未发现抗心肌磷脂抗体。患者先后接受了窄波紫外线（UV）、强的松龙和阿司匹林、己酮可可碱、华法林的治疗。尽管接受了这种强抗凝血和抗血小板治疗，患者皮损和系统症状仍未得到改善。
