RESUMO
Objectives@#To analyze the cardiac T2* value, liver iron concentration (LIC) , and related laboratory parameters in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with iron overload and evaluate the changes of organ functions after iron chelation therapy. To explore the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T2* in making early diagnosis and assessing organs iron overload.@*Methods@#Retrospective investigation was used to observe the cardiac T2* value, LIC, iron metabolism parameters and related laboratory parameters of 85 MDS patients from Nov 2014 to Jan 2018. Among them, 7 MDS patients with Low/Int-1 have received iron chelation therapy for 6 months during two MRI examinations. The above parameters were collected before and after iron chelation therapy for comparison.@*Results@#Correlations were found between heart T2* value and age (rs=-0.290, P=0.007) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (rs=0.265, P=0.009) . There was a significant negative correlation between heart T2* value and blood transfusion units (rs=-0.701, P<0.001) . There was a significant positive correlation between LIC and serum ferritin (SF) (rs=0.577, P<0.001) . There was also a correlation between LIC and ALT (rs=0.268, P=0.014) and blood transfusion units (rs=0.244, P=0.034) . There was no correlation between heart T2* and pro-BNP, SF (all P>0.05) , and no correlation between LIC and age (P>0.05) . The increase of heart T2* between the normal and abnormal groups was statistically significant (P=0.005) , but the iron overload ratio of the heart T2*<20 ms was not significant between the two groups. There was statistical significance in the proportion of severe liver iron overload (LIC>15 mg/g DW) (P=0.045) . After iron chelation therapy, the values of SF, transferrin saturation, ALT, AST, pro-BNP and LIC of 7 patients were decreased compared with values before iron chelation therapy, and the peripheral blood cell level was increased. However, the changes of LVEF and T2* values after iron chelation were not obvious.@*Conclusion@#MRI T2* may be a predictor of iron overload in patients with MDS in early stage, and may be more valuable compare with LVEF, SF and other laboratory indicators. The safety and repeatability of MRI cardiac T2* examination are recognized, and it can be used as an ideal detection for patients with iron overload.
RESUMO
Objective@#To explore the influence of personalized normative feedback interventions on precaution of adolescents’ Internet addiction，and to provide a new perspective for intervention in youth health online.@*Methods@#A total of 170 students from the second grade in a middle school and a high school of Fuzhou Province were randomly selected between April and May in 2016. By using the pretest post-test control group design, 90 adolescents in experimental group received personalized normative feedback interventions, while the 80 adolescents in control group were tested without interventions.@*Results@#At 1-month after intervention, students in the intervention group showed positive results relative to those in the control group on variables associated with online behavior, including the online time of students in experimental group and the index of their internet addiction have significantly reduced(t=2.79 and 3.09, P<0.01). Simultaneously, the estimate of the online time towards the experimental group students has decreased(t=3.75 and 3.74, P<0.01), the estimate of the proportion of study uses has decreased(t=-2.56, P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#The personalized normative feedback interventions, to some extent, has some precautions on the adolescents’ behaviors of internet addiction.
RESUMO
Objective To study the effect of decitabine treating elderly patient with myelodysplastic syndrome-ring sideroblastic refractory anemia (MDS-RAS) and review the literatures. Methods Decitabine treated a patient with MDS-RAS four courses, at the dose of 25 mg everyday for 5 days per course. Observed the change of symptoms, peripheral blood cell counts, myelogram, T cell polarization, cellular immunity,chromosome. Determined the curative effect combined with efficiency standard of WHO 2008. Results The clinical symptoms got better after two courses. Peripheral blood cell counts began to get better after one course. The number of leukocyte, hemoglobin and platelet got nearly normal after four courses. After two courses, T cell polarization state got normal, the number of iron ring promyelocyticin bone marrow declined from 16 % to 0 and chromosome changed from complex karyotype to normal. Conclusion Decitabine is an effective drug to the old patient with MDS-RAS. But it needs to increase the number of cases and follow up long-term to observe the effective rate and long-term efficacy.
RESUMO
20?10~9/L. This regimen was given for one course for induction, and was followed by conventional chemotherapy as maintenance or consolidation when complete remission(CR) achieved, or succeeding with other treatment when no response could be observed. Results Six patients achieved CR (54.5%) and one achieved partial remission (PR)(9.1%) with one course of treatment. Among 6 of 11 patients with CR, 5 relapsed at 2,3,6,8 and 16 months respectively. Three relapsed patients were retreated with the same protocol but achieved only one partial responses. Nine of the 11 patients had been died and their mean survival (since induction chemotherapy) was 9.2 months. Infectious complications during cytopenia were less serious than conventional chemotherapy withno treatment-related.Conclusion This moderate intensity protocol with G-CSF priming is effective and safe but remissions are of short duration.
