概括
在接受纳塔利祖马布治疗的多发性硬化症患者中,抗JCV抗体血清转化与吸烟,更高的BMI和35岁后开始治疗有关. 对这些人来说,警监测至关重要.
科学领域:
- 神经学 神经学
- 免疫学 免疫学 免疫学
- 药理学 药理学是指药理学的学科.
背景情况:
- 抗JCV抗体指数对于监测多发性硬化症 (MS) 患者的纳塔利祖马布治疗至关重要.
- 对抗JCV抗体的血清转化增加了渐进式多焦点白血脑病 (PML) 的风险.
研究的目的:
- 为了确定在接受纳塔利祖马布治疗的多发性硬化患者中抗JCV抗体血清转换的患病率.
- 为了确定与抗JCV抗体血清转化相关的风险因素.
主要方法:
- 卡普兰-梅尔生存分析被用来计算血清转换的中位时间和年率.

- 该研究包括96名多发性硬化患者,他们至少有一年暴露于纳塔利祖马布,并且在基线时具有负的抗JCV抗体.
主要成果:
- 29.2%的患者 (29/96) 在99个月的中位数随访期间经历了血清转化.
- 血清转换的中位数时间为8.3年,年率为6.1%.
- 在吸烟者,BMI>25 kg/m2的患者和35岁以上开始服用纳塔利祖马布的人群中观察到更高的血清转化率.
结论:
- 吸烟,BMI升高和35岁后开始服用纳塔利祖马布是抗JCV抗体血清转换的重要危险因素.
- 大多数血清转化发生在治疗的前三年内.
- 在接受纳塔利祖马布治疗的高风险多发性硬化症患者中,建议对抗JCV抗体进行密切监测.

Transcytosis of IgG
Transcytosis is the process in which molecules are internalized by endocytosis, transported across the cell, and released through exocytosis from the opposite end of the cell. Molecules such as insulin, immunoglobulins, and certain nutrients are transferred through the recycling endosomes by recycling and transcytosis.
IgG molecules from a mother undergo transcytosis starting around 13 weeks of gestation. The amount of IgG transferred and entering the fetal blood circulation increases with...

Immunodeficiency Diseases
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.

Myocarditis II: Clinical Features and Diagnostic Tests
Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle. The symptoms vary widely, encompassing asymptomatic presentations to severe, acute manifestations.Clinical PresentationAsymptomatic cases: In some instances, myocarditis may be asymptomatic, with the infection resolving without intervention. These cases often go undetected unless discovered incidentally through diagnostic imaging or tests conducted for other reasons.General Early Symptoms: Early symptoms of myocarditis are non-specific and can...
Arboviral Encephalitis
Arboviral encephalitis refers to brain inflammation caused by arthropod-borne viruses, particularly those transmitted through mosquito vectors. Among these, West Nile virus (WNV), a member of the Flaviviridae family, is a significant public health concern. WNV is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. Human infection typically begins when an infected mosquito introduces the virus into the dermis during feeding. The primary transmission cycle involves birds as amplifying hosts...
Cytomegalovirus Disease
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is caused by human cytomegalovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. While primary CMV infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, the virus can cause severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection in the United States, and a major pathogen in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.CMV is transmitted via bodily fluids, sexual...
Multiple Sclerosis l: Introduction
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that affects the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. It is an inflammatory demyelinating disorder and a leading cause of neurological disability in young adults.EpidemiologyMS commonly begins between 20 and 40 years of age and is twice as common in women. Its exact cause remains unclear, but genetic susceptibility contributes, with higher risk in first-degree relatives and identical twins. A greater...
