Abstract

Some chromatographic procedures, which can be used to detect and determine certain corticosteroids in samples from race horses, are described. These procedures include thin-layer, gas and high pressure liquid chromatography.

Rituximab for treatment of opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome in neuroblastoma.

Opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (OMS) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome that occurs in 2%-3% of patients with neuroblastoma. The cause of this syndrome is believed to be immune mediated, but the exact mechanism still remains unclear. There is an urgent need to improve our current strategies for treating patients with OMS, as many patients have significant long-term neurologic deficits and behavior disorders with current treatment approaches. Therapies that have shown to improve symptoms in these patients have ranged from ACTH and corticosteroids, to intravenous gammaglobulin and plasmapheresis. We report our experience with Rituximab in a patient with neuroblastoma and OMS.

Cyclosporine sparing with mycophenolate mofetil, daclizumab and corticosteroids in renal allograft recipients: the CAESAR Study.

Although the calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) cyclosporine (CsA) and tacrolimus are highly effective immunosuppressants, they are associated with serious side effects. There is great interest in immunosuppressive regimens that permit reduction or elimination of CNIs, while maintaining adequate immunosuppression and acceptable acute rejection rates. Patients (n = 536) receiving their first renal allograft were randomized to one of three immunosuppressant regimens: daclizumab, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), corticosteroids (CS) and low-dose CsA (target trough levels of 50-100 ng/mL), weaned from month 4 and withdrawn by month 6; daclizumab, MMF, CS and low-dose CsA; or MMF, CS and standard-dose CsA. Mean GFR 12 months after transplantation (primary end point) was not statistically different in the CsA withdrawal and low-dose CsA groups (both 50.9 mL/min/1.73 m(2)) vs. the standard-dose CsA group (48.6 mL/min/1.73 m(2)). At 12 months, the incidence of biopsy-proven acute rejection was significantly higher in the CsA withdrawal group (38%) vs. the low- or standard-dose CsA groups (25.4% and 27.5%, respectively; p < 0.05). In summary, a regimen of continuous low-dose CsA with MMF, CS and daclizumab induction is a clinically safe and effective immunosuppressive regimen in renal transplant recipients.
