[Clinical study on pulmonary complications after allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation].

OBJECTIVE: To explore the incidence, pathogenesis, risk factors and effective treatment of pulmonary complications after allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (allo-PBSCT). METHODS: Pulmonary complications in 70 patients received allo-PBSCT were analyzed. RESULTS: Thirty one episodes were observed in 26 patients. Among them episodes were infectious complications, including bacteria pneumonia, pulmonary fungus disease, CMV interstitial pneumonia and tuberculosis, some cases were caused by two pathogens, and 11 episodes were noninfectious complications, including late-onset noninfectious pulmonary complications (LONIPCs) (n=9), pulmonary edema (n=1) and interstitial pneumonia (n=1). The overall mortality was 12.9%. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis without MTX, severe acute GVHD and extensive chronic GVHD were high risk factors for pulmonary complications and advanced disease at transplantation, extensive chronic GVHD were significantly associated with the incidence of LONIPCs. CONCLUSION: Pulmonary disease is the main complication occurred in patients undergoing allo-PBSCT. It is of greatly importance to treat pathogens specifically and diagnose LONIPCs in its early stage.

[An surgical case of right pulmonary coccidioidomycosis--with subcutaneous coccidiomycosis in the left wrist].

Coccidioides is an afferent fungus disease. In Japan, there have been only a few surgical reports on coccidioides disease. We report a 39-year-old male who was diagnosed as having coccidioides disease by biopsy of subcutaneous nodules in the left wrist. The patient also showed a tumor image (1.5 x 1.0 cm) in S4 in the right lung. He had previously lived in Fresno, California on business between 1988 and 1993. After biopsy of the subcutaneous nodules, Itraconazole (200 mg), an anti-fungal drug, was orally administered for the lesion in the right lung for about 6 months. Since the tumor image revealed no improvement through this treatment, the tumor was resected. Histopathological examination by Grocott staining demonstrated the spherical form Coccidioides, i.e., endospores. Only 5 cases of resected pulmonary coccidioidal lesions have been reported in Japan including this case. We must be careful when handling coccidioidal culture because of its strong infectiosity.

[Radiation-induced intracranial meningiomas].

Based on the analysis of 112 cases a clinical characterization has been done of intracranial meningiomas developed secondary to X-ray irradiation of the head for fungus disease of skull integuments. X-ray irradiation increases the risk of intracranial meningioma development up to 4-fold. Radiation-induced intracranial meningiomas are characterized by particular features of clinical manifestations, by preponderance of hyperdense forms, by being of large size, as well as by a high frequency of changes in the adjacent bone presenting as hyperostosis, usuration, and destruction. The above meningiomas are notable for a high specific weight of anaplastic varieties.

Studies on the management of root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita-wilt fungus, Fusarium oxysporum disease complex of green gram, Vigna radiata cv ML-1108.

Studies were conducted under pot conditions to determine the comparative efficacy of carbofuran at 1 mg a.i./kg soil, bavistin at 1 mg a.i./kg soil, neem (Azadirachta indica) seed powder at 50 mg/kg soil, green mould (Trichoderma harzianum) at 50.0 ml/kg soil, rhizobacteria (Pseudomonas fluorescens) at 50.0 ml/kg soil against root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita-wilt fungus, Fusarium oxysporum disease complex on green gram, Vigna radiata cv ML-1108. All the treatments significantly improved the growth of the plants as compared to untreated inoculated plants. Analysis of data showed that carbofuran and A. indica seed powder increased plant growth and yield significantly more in comparison to bavistin and P. fluorescens. Carbofuran was highly effective against nematode, bavistin against fungus, A. indica seed powder against both the pathogens and both the bioagents were moderately effective against both the pathogens.

The pulmonary aspergilloses: three distinct entities or a spectrum of disease.

The fungus Aspergillus can cause any of three clinical presentations--invasive aspergillosis, mycetoma, or allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis--or a disease process in which one of these entities overlaps with another process such as mucoid impaction, eosinophilic pneumonia, bronchocentric granulomatosis, "farmer's lung," or asthma. More than one form of the disease may be present at the same time; in addition, limited invasion may occur even in "noninvasive" forms of the disease, and the clinical and pathological aspects of allergic aspergillosis are often indistinguishable from those of unrelated allergic conditions. Thus it is no longer possible to compartmentalize the various types of pulmonary aspergillosis into exclusive forms of the disease; rather, the radiologist should be aware that various factors can modify the mode of growth of the fungus as well as the patient's response.
