ABSTRACT
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease characterized by the proliferation of Langerhans cells and the destruction of local tissue. LCH large occurs in children, whilst incidence of the elderly population is extremely low, and there are few related studies. LCH lesions can involve multiple organs and systems, including bone tissue, lymph nodes, skin, liver, and spleen. However, it is rare that multiple soft tissues are implicated for eldly patients with LCH and present with soft tissue mass as the main manifestation. Here is a report on the clinical features, treatment and prognosis of an elderly LCH with multiple soft tissue masses as the main manifestation, in order to provide clinical reference.
ABSTRACT
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are a group of clonal disorders of hematopoietic stem cells, and JAK2 V617F gene mutation is the main basis for the diagnosis of MPN. Previous studies have shown that BCR-ABL fusion gene and JAK2 V617F gene mutation are mutually exclusive in MPN patients, but in recent years, patients with a double mutation of both genes are often reported. The article synthesizes the relevant domestic and foreign literature in recent years, and reviews the BCR-ABL fusion gene and JAK2 V617F mutation double-positive MPN.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the recuperative effect of immunological function and nutritional status on the patients treated by immune enteral nutrition in early stage after severe multiple injury (SMI). Method The patients with SMI,in department of Trauma Surgery,Tongji Hospital,Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology,between January 2006 to May 2007 were randomly divided into 2 groups: immune enteral nutrition group (IEN group, 20 cases), enteral nutrition group (EN group, 20 cases). The health persons served as the control group(15 cases) .Since 1st postinjury day, all patients were treated with nutritional support. The T-cell subgroup in periphera blood were detected by FCM and the level of PA, RBP, IL-2 and IL-4 in blood serum were detected by ELASA on the 1st, 3rd,5th, 8th postinjury day. Results After the treatment of IEN and EN,the serum levels of PA, RBP and the proportion of T-cell subgroup were significantly increased on the 8th postinjury day compared with on 1st postinjury day (P ＜ 0.01), but there were no differences between IEN group and EN group. The level of IL-4 were significantly decreased and the level of IL-2 were significantly increased in each group on 8th postinjury day, at same time, the level of IL-2 were significantly increased in IEN group compared with EN group (P ＜ 0.05), and the level of IL-4 were significantly decreased in IEN group compared with EN group (P ＜ 0.05). The duration of SIRS was transient and the infected complication was low on the patients treatment by IEN than EN. Conclusions On the patients with severe multiple injury, IEN was most ascendant than EN to improve the immunosuppression and clinical prognosis.
