摘要
OBJECTIVES:: Our study analyzes 40 years' experience with pediatric Langerhans cell histiocytosis patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS:: Between June 1968 and December 2009, 121 patients (79 males, 42 females; median age 4.13 y) were diagnosed at our center (74% monosystemic disease; 26% multisystemic), treated according to current protocols. We evaluated the response, the survival, and the neuroendocrinological sequelae. RESULTS:: Overall survival (OS) for all patients was 93% at 10 years from diagnosis, event-free survival (EFS) 77%. OS for patients younger than 2 years and older than or equal to 2 years was 82% and 97% (P=0.003); EFS 48% and 87% (P=0.001). OS for patients diagnosed before and after April 1, 1991 was 84% and 98% (P=0.007), EFS 66% and 85% (P=0.03). OS for monosystemic and multisystemic disease was 100% and 71% (P<0.001); EFS 88% and 45% (P<0.001). OS for "risk" patients (involvement of bone marrow, spleen, liver, lungs) and "low-risk" patients was 50% and 94% (P=0.007), EFS 37% and 54% (P=0.06). Fourteen patients developed diabetes insipidus, 7 patients growth hormone deficiency, 2 hypothyroidism, and 1 neurodegeneration. CONCLUSIONS:: Our study confirms improvement of pathogenetic knowledge and treatment over the last 20 years. Age at diagnosis older than or equal to 2 years and standardized treatment are associated with improved prognoses. Multisystemic involvement, especially with "risk" organs seem to be correlated to a worse outcome.

阅读文献之后写读书笔记是一个非常重要的科研习惯，特别对于年轻的科研工作者来说。好记性不如烂笔头，写读书笔记可以让自己在阅读文献的过程中不断积累知识；此外，在写读书笔记的过程中，我们对文献的理解和思考，也有助于我们更好地发展创新思维。很多伟大的思想家和科学家都有写读书笔记的习惯：马克思喜欢用卡片记录他的所学，并定期回顾；毛泽东无论看什么都做大量的批注，号称“不动笔墨不读书”；牛顿很小的时候就开始分门别类记读书笔记。
