International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(5):481-484
Infectious mononucleosis associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection (EBV-IM) is a proliferative disease of acute monocyte - macrophage system caused by primary EBV infection. Currently, the incidence IM has increased,and the cases are more severe. The mechanism of specific cellular immune response, new treatments and vaccines are increasingly becoming the focus.

Objective To analyze the short-term treatment effects and adverse effect on intermediate or advanced lung cancer by means of transbronchial arterial chemoembolization. Methods 68 patients were included in this study. First bronchial arteriography was performed to identify the tumor-feeding branch, and super-catheterize it. After CBP, EPI and 5-Fu was infused, embolization with gelatin sponge was carried out, chemoembolization was reperformed at 4~6 weeks intervals, 136 times of chemoembolization were done in 68 cases. Results The tumor blush of 51 patients stained obviously ,the feeding arteries with the second treatment decreased obviously. In 68 patients, the overall response rate was 82.3 %, the clinical beneficial rate was 97.0 %. The main side effect was myelosuppression, especially granulocytopenia, which was similar to that of conventional intravenous chemotherapy. No other severe adverse effect was seen. Conclusions Transbronchial arterial chemoembolization by selective tumor-feeding arteries catheterization has good short-term effect and clinic beneficial rate in the treatment of intermediate or advanced lung cancer, but the long-term treatment effects will be studied in the future.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of tirofiba in the treatment of patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). MethodsA total of 158 patients with acute STEMI were randomly divided into tirofiban group 1 (59 cases, received tirofiban before PCI), tirofiban group 2 (56 cases, received tirofiban when PCI) and control group(43 cases, only received PCI). The coronary reperfusion flow(TIMI grade) of infarct related artery (IRA) after PCI, the resolution of the sum of ST segment elevation(sum STR) at 90 min after the procedure, the changes of myocardial enzyme at 6 h and 12 h afterwards, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 1 week later, the major adverse cardiac events(MACE) within 30 d, bleeding and thrombocytopenia complications were analyzed and compared among the three groups. ResultsTIMI reperfusion grades in tirofiban group 1[98.3%(58/59 )]and tirofiban group 2[92.9%(52/56)]were higher than those in control group[60.5%(26/43)](P <0.05). The resolution of sum STR at 90 min after PCI in tirofiban group 1 [(89.3 ± 6.9)%]and tirofiban group 2[(82.4 + 7.3)%]was higher than that in control group[(65.6 +8.1 )%](P< 0.01 ),and there was significant difference between tirofiban group I and tirofiban group 2 (P<0.05 ). The occurrence of MACE within 30 d was lower in tirofiban group 1 and tirofiban group 2 than that in control group (P< 0.05). The level of CK-MB at 6 h and 12 h afterwards was lower in tirofiban group 1 than that in tirofiban group 2,and tirofiban group 2 was lower than control group (P< 0.05). LVEF 1 week later in tirofiban group 1[(56.2 + 6.4)%]was higher than that in tirofiban group 2[(51.1 + 4.9)%]and control group[(49.8 + 5.7)%](P < 0.05),but there was no significant difference between tirofiban group 2 and control group (P > 0.05). Although bleeding incidence in tirofiban group 1 and tirofiban group 2 was higher than that in control group, no severe bleeding and thrombocytopenia was observed. Conclusion Tirofiban can safely and effectively reduce the incidence of the ischemic events in the patients with acute STEM1 during preoperative of emergency PCI.

Objective:To investigate whether the increased plasma fibrinogen level is an independent predictor of cardiogenic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).Methods:Ninety-eight patients with NVAF hospitalized for cardiac causes were evaluated,and 24 of them had a history of ischemic stroke.The relationship between fasting plasma fibrinogen level and ischemic stroke were analyzed.Results:After adjusting traditional cardiovascular risk factors.the patients with NVAF who had the history of ischemic stroke were significantly older than those without(mean [SD] age 73.6 [8.4]vs.69.1[10.3] years,P=0.017).1he prevalence of hypertension was significantly higher(83.3%va.66.2%,P=0.011).The proportion of patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction was significantly higher(63.1% vs.45.9%,P=0.006),and plasma fibrinogen level increased significantly (mean [SD] 365 [108]vs.312[82] mg/dL,P=0.008).Conclusions:Plasma fibrinogen level is independently associated with a history of ischemic stroke in older patients with NVAF hospitalized for cardiac causes.
