简介:目的:探讨流式细胞术检测微小残留病(MRD)对判断儿童B淋巴细胞白血病(B-ALL)的预后价值。方法:回顾性分析2011年7月至2014年6月在我院初诊的196例B-ALL患儿,通过流式细胞术监测以上患儿诱导化疗第15天、第33天、第12周的骨髓MRD。结果:MRD阳性组中中危和高危分型的比例明显高于标危组,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05);分析各时间点MRD,显示MRD水平越高,患儿的复发率越高,3年EFS越低。其中第15天MRD≥10-2组、第33天MRD≥10-4、第12周MRD≥10-3组的患儿预后不佳;经多因素分析显示,第12周MRD≥10-3为独立的预后不良因素。结论:流式细胞术检测MRD对儿童B-ALL具有重要的临床预后判断意义;需动态监测MRD,第15天MRD≥10-2、第33天MRD≥10-4、第12周MRD≥10-3的患儿预后不佳,需调整危险分层及化疗强度;第12周MRD≥10-3为独立的预后不良因素。

简介:自上世纪八十年代中期日本学者Sugiura(杉浦)首次报告超声引导下行肝癌化学消融术有效后,该方法迅速在世界范围内开展起来。经大量的临床实践证实,化学消融术确是一种简便易行、疗效较好的治疗肝癌的方法。但是该方法也存在一定缺陷,在具体操作时,由于病灶注药后的超声显像多表现为强回声,对于药物弥散的程度和对个体应该给予的剂量均难以判定,影响治疗效果。近年来,人们开始利用CT、MRI等断层影像设备进行化学消融治疗。CT的优势在于断层图像清晰,可提供完整的给药后肿瘤局部及周围的影像,医生可根据图像的提示,决定消融针的操作方向、药量的多少等,这对于提高疗效起关键作用。我科自2004年4月引进该项技术,在改进了定位与穿刺方法后,在2年多的时间里,完成该项手术50例次,取得了较好的成果,现报告如下:
简介:乳腺恶性肿瘤是一种常见的女性肿瘤,成年女性中患病率最高。该病的发病原因尚不明确,但其早期诊断对于治疗和预后至关重要。乳腺肿瘤的诊断通常需要发现可疑肿块后进行穿刺活检,以确定是否是恶性肿瘤。在这个过程中,超声引导穿刺活检就比较重要。那么,下面会详细介绍超声引导穿刺活检的原理、操作步骤、相关应用等内容,以便读者更好地了解该技术,并学习其临床应用。

简介:许多人类疾病的发生和发展可归因于一些基因的异常表达,从而导致疾病的发生。其中一部分基因是在核因子kappaB(nuclearfactor-kappaB,NF—κB)调控下进行的。NF—κ是广泛存在于哺乳动物中的转录因子,是由Sen等于1986年首先在B细胞中发现的一种核蛋白。因它能与B细胞免疫球蛋白上的K轻链基因增强子κB序列(GGGACTITCC)特异结合而得名。实际上它能与多种细胞基因的启动子和增强子序列位点发生特异性结合,并促进转录和表达,参与众多与免疫和炎症反应有关的基因转录的调控。它的异常激活或完全抑制与多种疾病的发生有关。在控制细胞增殖、凋亡、肿瘤的发生、发展和耐药问题上均起着重要的作用。因此深入探讨NF—κB在体内病理状态下的活化机制以及其与细胞、基因之间的调节作用具有重要的意义。现就NF—κB的组成、结构、激活途径以及与肿瘤的关系作一综述。
