Adenovirus infections are a frequent cause of severe complications in the post allogeneic bone marrow transplantation period, and to date, no established form of treatment exists. We report the case of an autologous bone marrow transplant recipient who developed adenovirus pneumonitis which was successfully treated with intravenous ribavirin. 相似文献

A 65-year-old man was hospitalized with IgG kappa-type multiple myeloma (MM) and enormous subcutaneous plasmacytomas. Two different combination chemotherapy regimens (MMCP and AVPP) and alpha-interferon therapy were ineffectual. Oral administration of etoposide at 50 mg/day was subsequently started, the tumors completely disappeared after 5 months. The blood level of monoclonal protein became undetectable after 8 months of continuous treatment. The side effect noted was loss of hair. The course in this patient suggests that long-term daily low-dose administration of etoposide should be attempted in patients with refractory MM and extramedullary plasmacytoma. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To describe two uncommon cases of bladder tumor metastasizing to soft tissues. METHODS/RESULTS: Two patients with bladder tumor and cystic metastases in the abdominal wall are described. The cysts were easily palpable and were confirmed histologically. CONCLUSION: Soft tissues, like the abdominal wall, are unusual sites of metastasis of bladder tumor. The foregoing, however, should be considered in order to make an early diagnosis. 相似文献

A case of acute undifferentiated leukemia (AUL), accompanied by subcutaneous tumor and thymoma is reported. The analysis of immunophenotype showed that the leukemic blasts were positive for CD7, HLA-DR, CD38 and CD34 in 17.5% but negative results were obtained for other lymphoid and myeloid antigens. The leukemic blasts had a rearranged immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) gene and T cell receptor delta (TCR-delta) chain gene chromosomal abnormality, 47, XY, +8, t(13; 17) (q12; q21), -17, +M was observed. In general, the CR rate is low and prognosis is poor in patients with AUL. In our case, CR was not achieved by the therapy with JALSG-ALL87 protocol, but was achieved by subsequent treatment with high dose ara-C therapy and combination chemotherapy including intermediate-dose ara-C, mitoxantrone, etoposide and prednisolone. 相似文献

The effect of ibopamine and furosemide in 130 patients with NYHA Class I and II heart failure were studied in a parallel, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled multi-centre trial. Ibopamine 200 mg b.i.d. was compared to furosemide 40 mg q.d. and placebo. A 1- to 2-week single-blind run-in period was followed by an 8-week double-blind treatment period. Reproducible treadmill exercise test times with the modified Naughton-Balke protocol were required for randomization. Exercise times increased significantly in comparison to the placebo group after 8 weeks of therapy for both the furosemide group (1.2 min, P < 0.035) and the ibopamine group (1.3 min, P < 0.025). Neither furosemide nor ibopamine affected quality of life assessments. Adverse clinical experiences were generally mild and similar in frequency amongst the three treatment groups. The results of this study show the usefulness of both ibopamine and furosemide as monotherapy in patients with mild congestive heart failure. 相似文献

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional cytokine postulated to play a central role as a growth factor for multiple myeloma (MM). We evaluated the spontaneous secretion of IL-6 in supernatants of Ficoll-Hypaque--enriched bone marrow (BM) cultures from 35 patients with MM. The levels of IL-6 were correlated with biological and clinical characteristics of the disease. High levels of IL-6 production defined a subgroup of patients with low tumor burden as determined by lower serum beta 2-microglobulin (B2M) (P = .02) and lower percentage of myeloma cells infiltrating the bone marrow (P = .003), higher synthetic rates of monoclonal protein (P = .006), and low proliferative compartments as measured by the percentage of Ki-67--positive myeloma cells. Patients with high proliferative fractions (Ki-67--positive myeloma cells > 20%) had significantly lower levels of IL-6 when compared with patients with low proliferative fractions (P = .005). Our findings do not support IL-6 as a major growth factor for MM, but demonstrate an association of high levels of IL-6 secretion with low tumor cell burden and low proliferative fraction. 相似文献

To our knowledge there have been only two previous cases of diaphragmatic hernia into the pericardium diagnosed antenatally. We describe our pre- and post-natal radiological findings in such a case, although the final diagnosis eluded us until after delivery. 相似文献

Cavernous hemangioma is a rare tumor with infrequent cardiac involvement. Preoperative or antemortem diagnosis may be difficult. Several prior case reports have described echocardiographic findings of cavernous hemangioma. We report here a 50-year-old white female patient with this tumor. Transesophageal echocardiography detected a mass with an echocardiographic appearance not previously described for cavernous hemangioma. The tumor appeared as a large echolucent unilocular cystic mass, leading to an erroneous preoperative diagnosis of pericardial cyst. This previously unreported finding should be recognized by echocardiographers in the evaluation of cardiac masses. 相似文献

The potential role of genetic factors in the etiology of posttraumatic and alcohol-associated seizures was studied in 289 male patients with recurrent seizures and in 174 individuals who had never experienced a seizure. The incidence of seizures in first-degree relatives of probands was compared with that in relatives of unaffected individuals. Relatives of patients with alcohol-associated seizures had a rate ratio of 2.45 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.41-4.25], whereas no excess incidence was noted among relatives of posttraumatic epilepsy patients (rate ratio 1.20, 0.64-2.25 CI). Relatives of probands with both antecedents showed an intermediate rate ratio of 1.72 (0.92-3.20 CI). Among probands with alcohol-associated seizures, the rate ratio of 2.05 for patients with alcohol-related seizures (i.e., spontaneously occurring seizures in association with chronic alcohol abuse) was slightly higher than that of 1.85 for probands with alcohol withdrawal seizures. Trauma severity had a slight impact on the incidence of affected relatives; patients with severe head injuries had a rate ratio of 0.73 and probands with milder trauma had a rate ratio of 0.99. The results indicate a limited, if any, role of genetic predisposition in development of posttraumatic seizures. Alcohol-related seizures, however, showed familial aggregation of unprovoked seizures, suggesting an involvement of genetic factors in the origin of such seizures. 相似文献

Between March, 1971, and September, 1975, glutaraldehyde-stabilized pericardial xenografts were used for single valve replacement in.212 patients (142 aortic, 67 mitral, and three tricuspid). The 195 operative survivors were observed for a total of 5,926 months over a period 6 to 61 months (mean 30). actuarial analysis of late results indicates an expected survival rate at 5 years of 92.3 per cent for patients with aortic and 91.1 per cent for patients with valve replacement. The rate of systemic embolism has been 0.62 episodes per 100 patient years for the aortic and 2.48 episodes per 100 patient years for the mitral group in the absence of anticoagulant treatment. All six emboli occurred early postoperatively, were trivial or mild, and left no sequelae. Symptomatically, 96.7 per cent of patients are now in Class I and 3.3 per cent in Class II (N.Y.H.A.). Maintenance of structural and functional integrity of the glutaraldehyde-stabilized pericardial zenograft was demonstrated by histologic and hemodynamic investigations. Catheterization showed substantial circulatory improvement in both patients with aortic and those with mitral replacement. The transaortic gradients were negligible (8 mm. Hg at rest and 17.5 mm. Hg during exercise). The available indicates that results of valve replacement withpericardial xenografts. Over this period of follow-up, compare very favorably with those obtained with other available prostheses and tissue valves. 相似文献

A case is reported of subcutaneous emphysema of the neck in association with emphysematous cystitis and uncontrolled diabetes. Problems in its management are discussed. Anatomic pathway for the spread of the gas from the bladder to the subcutaneous tissues of the neck and the back is speculated. 相似文献

We report an extremely rare case of intracranial lipoma that was associated with subcutaneous lipoma situated on the anterior fontanelle. During ultrasonographic examination of the subcutaneous lesion, intracranial lipoma was incidentally diagnosed. Computed tomography revealed corpus callosum agenesis, interhemispheric lipoma extending into the choroid plexus. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated the subcutaneous lipoma and also the exact extent of the lesion. The pathogenesis of lipomas is discussed and the literature is reviewed. 相似文献

Severe splenomegaly and anemia developed in a 5-year-old girl with diffuse lymphangiomatosis of the upper part of the body. Radioisotope scanning and celiac angiography demonstrated lymphangiomatosis of the spleen, a rare but diagnosable condition. Intractable infection in areas of ulcerated skin led to her death from overwhelming sepsis. 相似文献

Patients with significant cardiac sarcoidosis are at increased risk of sudden death from ventricular dysrhythmias or conduction disturbances. We report a patient in whom there was radiographic and histologic evidence of systemic sarcoidosis; though histologic confirmation of involvement of heart by sarcoidosis is lacking, the clinical manifestations, radionuclide image findings, rhythm disturbances, and the response to steroid therapy are strong evidence in favor of myocardial involvement by the granulomatous process. 相似文献
