An ocular cat-scratch disease patient positive for cytoplasmic anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody
摘要:
Background: We report a case of ocular cat-scratch disease with permanent vision reduction in a patient who was cytoplasmic antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (C-ANCA) positive. Methods: Case report and review of the literature. Results: While taking steroids and antibiotics, a 52-year-old man with uveitis associated with cat-scratch disease developed retinal vein occlusion and a macular exudate. His final visual acuity was poor because of residual macular degeneration and optic atrophy. Serum C-ANCA increased and decreased in parallel with ocular inflammatory activity. Conclusion: C-ANCA is an indicator of vasculitis and may be useful as an indicator of severe cat-scratch disease.

Derivatization of ursolic acid, one of the natural ursene-type pentacyclic triterpenes, was investigated by the oxidation with dioxoruthenium(VI) tetraphenylporphyrins. Oxidation selectivity on the terpenestructure was modulated by the auxiliaries introduced on the tetraphenylporphyrin. Chemical oxidation of the ursolic acid affected the cytotoxic activity against tumor cell lines.
There are described a new pharmaceutically active derivative of ursolic acid, 3.beta.-(3-carboxypropionyloxy)ursa-9(11),12-dien-28-oic acid, which possesses activity as an anti-ulcer and anti-viral agent, pharmaceutically acceptable, non-toxic salts thereof, a method of preparing the same and compositions containing the same.
