Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is an uncommon illness but most common form of thrombocytopema in pregnancy. Corticosteroids, splenectomy, immunosuppressive drugs, and immunoglobulin therapy have been recommended for manaaement. The optimal method of delivery is controversial. We have experienced a case of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura diagnosed previously and managed with corticosteroid and vincrstine, which was followed by pregnancy, vaginal delivery and postpiirtum splenectomy.

Flaviviruses have been important human pathogens after emerging and resurging flavivirus diseases over the past decades. Although effective therapeutic agents are not yet commercially available for use in humans, significant progress has been made toward developing effective therapeutics and treatments. Several studies have shown that antibodies against the flaviviral E and NS1 proteins play a central role in prophylaxis and/or treatment of flavivirus infection through passive immunization. In addition, many anti-flavivirals, including interferons, oligonucleotide-based platforms, and small compounds, have been developed and evaluated for their antiviral effects. This review provides an overview of various approaches to the development of anti-flaviviral candidates and new insights that could improve our strategies for designing effective therapeutics against flaviviruses.

With the elucidation of structures and functions, antibodies are widely applied in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Today, therapeutic antibodies have played ever increasing roles in the treatment of cancers. In fact, there are over 20 monoclonal antibodies which have been approved by the U.S.Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the therapeutic use in cancers. For the gastric and colorectal cancers, there are at least 9 antibodies have been approved for cancer therapy or for clinical trials. These antibody drugs target to tumor associate antigens and can destroy the cancer cells through several mechanisms such as antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity, complement-dependent cytotoxicity, blockage of blood nutrition and crucial signaling pathways. With the progress in gene engineering technology, the diverse structures of antibodies can be created. In addition, the antibody-conjugates with radioisotopes, toxins and cytotoxins, are also designed for targeted therapy of gastric and colorectal cancers. In this article, we review the trends in the clinical development and application of antibody drugs for future research and development of the rapidly expanding therapeutic modality in gastric and colorectal cancers.

Guillain-Barre syndrome(GBS), characterized by Landry's ascending paralysis, has been known to be caused by some viruses and some vaccinations. We report a case of GBS caused by swine influenza vaccination. The patient presented with rapidly progressive ascending paralysis after vaccination. After intravenous immunoglobulin therapy and other conservative treatments, he recovered without any complications. Whilst the patient did not exhibit typical GBS features, we still suspect that this case represents a variant of GBS. GBS secondary to vaccination is rare and the association has yet to be proven. We therefore recommend that swine influenza vaccination continue despite this apparent case of secondary GBS.
