Fudan University Journal of Medical Sciences 2009;36(6):786-788
Radioimmunotherapy using monoclonal antibodies incorporated with radionuclide has been showed to be an effective agent for refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Many anti-CD20 antibodies labeled with radionuclide, such as 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin) and 131I-tositumomab tiuxetan (Bexxar), have been reported to be effective for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory low-grade, follicular, or transformed NHL. This review summarizes the current advance in clinical trials and studies of Zevalin and Bexxar for the treatment of NHL patients.

Recent Advances in Ophthalmology 2000;20(6):418-419
Objective To investigate the application of bursting phacoemulsification for hard nucleus cataract.Methods Phaco burst and chop technique were used to emulsify the hard nucleus cataract. The degree of nuclear hardness in 74 eyes was grade Ⅳ~Ⅴ.Results The visual acuity without correction was 0.8 or better in 75.67%, 79.73% and 83.87% one day, one week and three months after the operations respectively. There was no statistical difference between the mean preoperative astigmatism and postoperative astigmatism(P>0.05).There were corneal edema in 5 eyes, posterior capsular ruptures in 5 eyes. Little lens fragments dropped into the vitreous in 2 eyes.Conclusion The phaco burst technique is apt for phacoemulsification of hard nucleus cataract.

To assess the principles of diagnosis and management of Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS), ascending venography and PPG were used as the means of diagnosis for KTS. 18 cases received nonoperative therapy with elastic bandages or stockings, and 26 patients were operated on, including stripping of varicose vein, decompression of popliteal vein and segmental transplantation with valve to femoral or popliteal vein. The effective rate in the operative group was 73.1% (19/26),whereas the illness of 18 patients was stable with elastic support. Thirty one of 44 patients have been improved during 1~10 year follow up period . It is important that the indications and styles of operation must be carefully considered according to the clinical manifestations and venogram.

To assess the principles of perioperative management and prevention and treatment of postoperative complications of extracranial carotid artery aneurysm(ECAA),15 patients with ECAA received surgical treatment between 1988 and 2000.Among them,11 patients underwent aneurysmectomy with artery reconstruction,3 had resection of aneurysm and ligation of external carotid artery, and the other patient had aneurysmorrhaphy. No postoperative deaths or severe complications occurred except one patient with Horner's syndrome.Satisfactory results were achieved in 7 out of 8 patients within a 6 month to 7 year follow up period. The results showed that aneurysmectomy with artery reconstruction is a best operative procedure for extracranial carotid artery aneurysm. In order to prevent severe complications,such as brain ischemia and injury of cranial nerves, intensive perioperative management must be emphasized.

This paper is to summarize our experiences in the operation indication and management of perioperative complications in treatment of Stanford B aortic dissection by using endovascular graft exclusion (EVGE). 32 patients underwent the procedure of EVGE . Various sizes of tubular grafts were introduced over the entry tear of aorta via the femoral artery. The procedure was technically successful in all patients. No Severe complication occurred during the perioperative period except one death due to heart infarction. These preliminary results suggest that EVGE is safe and efficient for Stanford B aortic dissection. EVGE is a method of first choice for the patients with this disease.

Objective To investigate the number of osteoclast (OC) precursor in the peripheral blood of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and its relationship with serum receptor activator of nuclear factor KB-ligand (RANKL) and Osteoprotegerin (OPG) concentration as well as the disease activity. Methods The peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 8 cases of AS patients and 5 healthy controls were cultured in the medium containing macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) (25 ng/ml) and RANKL (40 ng/ml). After being cultured for 14 days, cytochemistry was applied to detect tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) expression and the cells with TRAP expression and ≥3 nuclei were counted and defined as OC. Bone resorption assay was used to demonstrate OC function. ELISA was used to measure serum RANKL and OPG concentration in 23 cases of AS and 17 healthy controls. The relationship was analyzed in AS patients between the number of OC precursors and serum RANKL and OPG concentration as well as the disease activity. The indicators of disease activity were Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI), Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP). T test, t' test and Spearman correlation were selec-ted. Results ① Significantly higher OC production was observed in the peripheral blood of AS patients than that of healthy control group. The OC number per ten fields was 10.9±3.4 and 6.2±1.3 respectively (P<0.05); ② There was significant difference between AS patients and healthy controls in serum concentration of OPG and RANKL and the ratio of RANKL/OPG. OPG was significantly higher in AS patients [(157±49) pg/ml] than in healthy controls [(105±20) pg/ml] (P<0.05). RANKL was significantly higher in AS patients [(5.4± 3.8) pg/ml] than in healthy controls [(1.6±0.8) pg/ml] (P<0.05). The ratio of RANKL/OPG was significantly higher in AS patients (0.037±0.026) than in healthy controls (0.016±0.008) (P<0.01 );③Significantly positive correlation was observed between the OC number and the serum concentration of RANKL (r=0.692, P=0.009), the ratio of RANKL/OPG (r=0.813, P=0.001);④ In AS patients, serum concentration of OPG was found to have significantly negative correlation with BASDAI (r=-0.444, P=0.044). Serum RANKL concentration was found to have significantly positive correlation with BASDAI (r=0.543, P=0.011). The ratio of RANKL/OPG was found to have significantly positive correlation with BASDAI (r=0.672, P=0.001). Conclusion ① More OC precursors exist in the peripheral blood of AS patients. These cells may differentiate into osteoclasts, which might play a role in joints destructions in AS;② The mechanism of high OC production is likely to be due to high RANKL concentration which is caused by inflammatory reaction.

Aim To investigate the effect of iontophoresis on skin permeation of defibrase. Methods Iontophoresis was carried out in side-by-side chambers, excised rat skin membrane (RSM) or human epidermis membrane (HEM). The effects of electrode polarity, permeation medium pH and ionic strength were evaluated. Results Permeation of defibrase caused by anodal iontophoresis was more effective [the apparent permeability coefficient was (1.2±0.4)×10-4 cm·h-1] than that of cathodal iontophoresis[(4.3±1.4)×10-5 cm·h-1]. The amount of permeated defibrase caused by anodal iontophoresis in pH 7.4 medium was (25±5)×10-14 mol·cm-2, which was higher than that of in pH 6.4 permeation medium [(15±4)×10-14 mol·cm-2]. Conclusion Iontophoresis could enhance skin permeation of defibrase. Electroosmotic flow effect played an important role.

Objective To establish the quality standard of Compound Kangganling Granules. Methods TLC method was used for qualitative identification of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and Forsythiae Fructus, and HPLC method was used for determination of chlorogenic acid in the preparation. The HPLC separation was performed on Diamonsil C18 column. The mobile phase was consisted of acetonitrile-0.4%phosphoric acid (20∶80, V/V), and the flow rate was 1.0 mL/min. Results TLC identified chlorogenic acid in Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and phillyrin in Forsythiae Fructus. The linear relationship of chlorogenic acid in the preparation measured by HPLC was A=30461C-5938.8, r=0.9998, RSD=1.01%, showing that the linear range of chlorogenic acid was 10.2-102.0μg/mL. Conclusion The method is accurate and rapid, with good stability, reliability and reproducibility, and can be used for the quality control and evaluation of the preparation.

Object To provide the theoretical basis for the artificial planting of Hypericum perforatum L., the effects of light, gibberellin and ethephon on the germination of H. perforatum seeds were studied. Methods The method of direct germination was used. Results The seeds germinated to 79% in the light, while didn't germinate in the dark. Gibberellin and ethephon not only promoted the germination in the light, but also induced the germination in the dark. But ethephon inhibited the growth of seedling radicals severely. Conclusion The seed of H. perforatum is light-dependent seed, its light-dependence is related to gibberellin and ethephon.
