概括
青少年白血病患者在化疗期间出现了模仿抗NMDAR脑炎的神经症状. 营养不良和肝脏问题的生化变化,而不是抗体,可能参与其中,这表明常见的途径和需要营养支持.
科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 生物化学 生物化学
背景情况:
- B细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病 (B-ALL) 是一种常见的儿童癌症.
- 在癌症治疗期间可以出现神经精神症状.
- 抗N-甲基-D-酸盐受体 (anti-NMDAR) 脑炎呈现出严重的神经和精神症状.
研究的目的:
- 在接受化疗的青少年B-ALL患者中调查神经和精神症状的原因.
- 探索化疗诱导的代谢变化与NMDA受体功能障碍之间的潜在联系.
- 为了区分这些症状与实际的抗NMDAR脑炎.
主要方法:
- 三名患有B-ALL.的青少年患者的案例研究.
- 在诱导化疗期间对神经和精神症状的临床观察.
- 实验室分析包括NMDAR抗体测试,血液氨,血酸和铜水平.
- 评估肝功能和营养状况.
主要成果:
- 这三名患者都呈现出类似于抗NMDAR脑炎的症状,包括精神病,沉默,运动障碍和昼夜节律障碍.
- 在所有患者中,NMDAR抗体测试呈阴性.
- 患者表现出化疗诱导的肝功能障碍,体重减轻和营养不良.
- 观察到生物化学异常,如血氨含量升高,血中谷氨酸含量升高和铜缺乏.
- 已知这些生化变化会影响NMDA受体活性.
结论:
- 这些B-ALL患者的神经和精神症状不是由抗NMDAR抗体引起的.
- 化疗诱导的代谢障碍,包括影响NMDA受体功能的代谢障碍,可能导致观察到的神经毒性.
- 在B-ALL神经毒性和抗NMDAR脑炎之间可能有共同的,但尚未定义的病理生理路径.
- 早期的营养干预对于那些有这种神经毒性发展风险的B-ALL患者至关重要.

Encephalitis l: Introduction
15
Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain parenchyma, most often due to infections or autoimmune processes. It presents with neuropsychiatric features such as fever, altered mental status, behavioral changes, cognitive dysfunction, seizures, focal deficits, and sometimes autonomic instability. In some cases, the meninges are also involved, resulting in meningoencephalitis.Infectious CausesInfectious encephalitis is most commonly viral but can also result from bacterial, fungal, or parasitic...

Encephalitis ll: Pathophysiology
22
Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain parenchyma caused by direct viral invasion or immune-mediated mechanisms triggered by infections or tumors. Both processes lead to neuronal injury, disrupted neurotransmission, and diverse neurological symptoms, often with overlapping clinical and pathological features.Autoimmune EncephalitisIn autoimmune encephalitis, antibodies target neuronal antigens on cell surfaces, synapses, or within neurons. A key example is anti-NMDAR encephalitis, which can...

Hepatic Encephalopathy
53
DefinitionHepatic encephalopathy is a reversible neurologic syndrome that results from advanced liver dysfunction or portosystemic shunting. It leads to disturbances in cognition, behavior, and motor function due to the brain’s exposure to gut-derived toxins that the liver fails to detoxify.EtiologyThis condition develops either in the setting of acute fulminant hepatitis or progressively during chronic liver disease, such as cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Portosystemic...
