摘要
目的评价中剂量环磷酰胺(CTX)联合甲泼尼龙治疗重症肌无力(MG)危象的有效性与安全性。方法采用前瞻、开放、平行和随机对照的研究方法,选择1999年1月至2010年10月在中山大学附属第一医院神经科就诊的156例重症肌无力危象患者作为研究对象,其中CTX组与对照组各78例。CTX组予甲泼尼龙500mg/d连用3d,后改为250mg/d,每隔3d剂量减半,直到62.5mg/d改泼尼松30mg/d口服维持至试验结束。同时加用CTX0.4g静脉推注,连用3d后改为0.4g,隔3d一次。对照组单独应用甲泼尼龙。根据MG的临床绝对和相对评分法评定疗效。结果(1)CTX组中54例(69.2%)患者3d内呼吸困难消失,而对照组中36例(46.2%)患者在8~14d内呼吸困难消失,两组比较差异有统计学意义(P=0.000)。(2)CTX组中超过一半的患者在10~14d内肢体无力(44例,56%)与吞咽功能(47例,60.3%)得到明显的改善,而同样情况的对照组患者28d后症状改善。两组比较差异有统计学意义(P=0.000)。(3)CTX组中,54例(69.2%)MG患者应用CTX总量达到1.2g时呼吸困难消失,而超过一半的患者在CTX总量达到2.8g时才出现吞咽困难(47例,60.3%)与肢体无力(44例,56.4%)的恢复,3组症状改善时需要的CTX总量的差异比较有统计学意义(P=0.000)。(4)CTX组在治疗期间并发肺部感染17例(21.8%),对照组并发肺部感染53例(67.9%),两组肺部感染的发生率比较差异有统计学意义(P=0.000)。(5)CTX组患者所出现的不良反应短暂且轻微。结论(1)中剂量CTX联合甲泼尼龙治疗重症肌无力危象是有效且安全的。(2)与甲泼尼龙联用,当CTX总量达到1.6g时,90%的重症肌无力危象患者能成功脱机。
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of middle-dose cyclophosphamide plus methylprednisolone for myasthenia gravis (MG) patients in crisis. Methods For this prospective, open, parallel, randomized controlled trial, we recruited a total of 156 MG patients in crisis from January 1999 to October 2011 at Department of Neurology, First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University. They were divided into two groups of cyclophosphamide and control ( n = 78 each ). In the cyclophosphamide group, each received methylprednisolone 500 mg/d for 3 days, then tapered to 250 mg/d and tapered half every 3 days until 62. 5 mg/d. Afterward an oral dose of prednisone was prescribed at 30 mg/d until the end of the trial. At the same time, an intravenous injection of cyclophosphamide was offered at 0. 4 g/d for 3 days and then 0.4 g/d every 3 days. In the control group, each received methylprednisolone alone. And the efficacies were assessed by absolute and relative MG scores. Results ( 1 ) There were 54 ( 69. 2% ) patients off- ventilation in 3 days in the cyclophosphamide group versus 36 (46. 2% ) patients in 8 - 14 days in the control group. Notable statistical significance existed between two groups (P = 0. 000). (2) More than half of the patients in eyclophosphamide group with extremity weakness ( n = 44, 56% ) and dysphagia ( n = 47, 60. 3% ) significantly improved in 10 - 14 days versus 28 days in the control group. Notable statisticalsignificance existed between two groups ( P = 0. 000 ) . ( 3 ) In the cyclophosphamide group, dyspnea disappeared in 54 (69. 2% ) patients when the dose reached 1.2 g. The recovery of dysphagia ( n =47, 60. 3% ) and extremity weakness ( n =44, 56. 4% ) occurred in more than half of the patients when the dose reached 2. 8 g. Notable statistical significance existed among three groups (P = 0. 000). (4) During the treatment period, there were 17 eases (21.8%) with pulmonary infection in the cyclophosphamide group versus 53 eases (67.9%) in the control group. Notable statistical signifieance existed between two groups (P =0. 000). (5) Brief and minor side effects appeared in the patients of the eyelophosphamide group. Conclusion ( 1 ) The combined treatment of middle-dose cyclophosphamide and methylrednisolone for MG patients in crisis is both effective and safe. (2) When combined with methylrednisolone, 90% of patients with MG crisis are successfully off-ventilation when the dose of cyclophosphamide reaches 1.6 g.
