概括
西尼罗神经侵入性疾病 (WNND) 在接受抗CD20疗法的患者中造成显著残疾. 反转录PCR (RT-PCR) 对于诊断WNND在这个人群中至关重要,因为WNV IgM测试不可靠.
科学领域:
- 神经免疫学 神经免疫学
- 传染性疾病 传染性疾病
- 在瘤学瘤学.
背景情况:
- 对于接受抗CD20治疗的患者的严重西尼罗病毒神经侵入性疾病 (WNND) 有有限的数据.
- 在接受B细胞消耗治疗的患者中,鉴别WNND病例至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 在第三级学术卫生系统中,在接受抗CD20治疗的患者中系统地描述WNND病例.
- 评估这个特定患者队列的诊断方法和临床结果.
主要方法:
- 从2016年1月到2024年1月的回顾性队列研究.
- 电子病历查询,然后对WNND和抗CD20使用的患者进行个人病历审查.
- 分析临床表现,诊断结果 (CSF WNV IgM,RT-PCR),成像,治疗和结果 (mRS,死亡率).
主要成果:
- 确定了25名患者,52%患有多发性硬化症,作为抗CD20治疗的指示.
- 84%的患者出现脑膜炎;CSFRT-PCR在93%的测试患者中呈阳性,而WNV IgM仅在24%的患者中呈阳性.
- 75%的人经历了残疾累积 (mRS增加≥1点),8%的人在90天内死亡.
结论:
- 在接受抗CD20疗法的患者中,WNND显著导致残疾.
- 由于WNV IgM测试的敏感性较低,RT-PCR是该人群中WNND的重要诊断工具.
- 早期和准确的诊断对于在免疫受损患者中管理WNND至关重要.

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Immunomodulatory Agents
277
Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disorder marked by chronic inflammation of the GI tract. Various treatment strategies for Crohn's disease are employed, such as immunomodulatory agents, glucocorticoids, and biologics or anti-TNF therapy. Azathioprine (Imuran), a commonly used immunomodulatory drug for Crohn's disease, is converted in the body to mercaptopurine, which inhibits purine biosynthesis and cell proliferation. Both are utilized in severe cases of Inflammatory Bowel...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists
265
Neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors are distributed across the GI tract, vagal afferents, and key CNS regions including the central vomiting center and chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) Chemotherapy agents stimulate enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to release large amounts of substance P (SP). SP is a neuropeptide released by specific sensory nerves in response to many different stressors, including those in the GI mucosa affected by chemotherapy. SP binds and activates...
