Abstract
CD11b (Leu15) epitope is expressed on 20-30% of peripheral blood lymphocytes, including CD16+ large granular lymphocytes and CD8+ cells. This study confirms that 30% of CD8+ lymphocytes and virtually all CD16+ NK cells from healthy subjects express this determinant. In parallel, our data show that various proportions of CD3+4-8-, TCR-delta cytotoxic T lymphocytes and occasionally CD4+ lymphocytes subsets could also express this epitope. The CD8+11b+ phenotype is associated with suppression of T-cell proliferative response and has been extensively used to characterize suppressor T lymphocytes. Since about 25% of CD8 lymphocytes are non-T (CD3-) and express the CD16 NK antigen (CD8+16+3-), the expression of CD11b was also studied on CD8+3+ T-cell and CD8+16+ NK-cell subsets. To this end, we developed three methods using a flow cytometer equipped with a single laser and two fluorescence detectors. Results showed that T CD8+3+11b+ and NK CD8+16+11b+ lymphocytes account for 30% and 70% of CD8+11b+ cells respectively. Consequently, the CD8+3+11b+ phenotype would be more specific for suppressor T lymphocytes than the total CD8+11b+ phenotype which includes high proportions of CD16+ NK cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To define the most effective treatment for polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) and Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS). METHODS We conducted a prospective, randomized, multicenter trial in which 78 patients were randomly assigned to receive either prednisone and plasma exchange (group A; n = 36) or prednisone alone (group B; n = 42) as first-line treatment of PAN and CSS. Patients with hepatitis B virus-related PAN were not included in this study. The end point of the study was control of the disease (recovery and remission) or death. RESULTS Clinical symptoms and laboratory findings did not differ statistically in the 2 groups at study entry. Initial control of the disease was similar in both groups. The assigned treatment was stopped in 16 patients because of lack of efficacy. Oral cyclophosphamide or dapsone therapy reversed the disease evolution in 7 of these 10 group A patients and in 4 of these 6 group B patients. At 7 years of followup, 56 patients had completely recovered (27 in group A, 29 in group B), 7 patients were in clinical remission, and 15 patients had died (19.2%; 6 group A patients and 9 group B patients). The prednisone-plasma exchange combination was no more beneficial than corticosteroids alone in preventing relapses over the long term. There was no significant difference in the 7-year cumulative survival rates of the two groups (83% and 79%, respectively). CONCLUSION Based on our data, we conclude that combined treatment with prednisone and plasma exchange is not superior to treatment with prednisone alone and must not be systematically employed for initial treatment of PAN and CSS. In most cases, cyclophosphamide as second-line treatment is effective and well tolerated.

Abstract
To define the most effective treatment for polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) and Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS), we undertook 3 consecutive prospective therapeutic trials including 182 patients and tried to answer several important questions: should cyclophosphamide (CYC) be given as the first-line treatment? what is the place of plasma exchanges (PE) in the treatment of systemic vasculitis? does hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related PAN require specific treatment? Our first randomized trial in 71 patients compared the association of CYC with corticosteroids (CS) and PE to CS and PE, in order to evaluate the efficacy of CYC given as the first-line treatment to control disease activity and subsequent survival of PAN and CSS patients. Between December, 1983, and December, 1988, we conducted two trials simultaneously: one aimed at patients without HBV markers and the second at patients with HBV markers. In 78 patients without HBV markers, we compared prednisone and PE to prednisone alone as the initial therapeutic regimen. In 33 patients with PAN related to HBV, a new therapeutic strategy was applied as an alternative to long-term steroid and immunosuppressive therapy: short-term steroid therapy and PE were used to control the evolution of PAN and anti-viral therapy was administered to suppress the etiological agent of the vasculitis. Twelve years after the beginning of the trials on PAN and CSS patients, we think that the therapeutic strategy should be as follow: in PAN without HBV and CSS: Prednisone in association with CYC improves the control of the disease despite infectious side effects which may be reduced by better CYC dose adaptation. It is also possible that CYC could be more effective in some subgroups of PAN, for instance those with clinical symptoms of poor prognosis. We are presently attempting to optimize the CYC prescription (pulses of CYC) in PAN and CSS in the hope of improving prognosis; in PAN related to HBV: The first-line treatment should be the association of anti-viral agents and PE. This treatment was effective and cured a majority of patients within 2 to 3 months; half of them seroconverted. The length of HBV infection before its diagnosis, delay before initiation of treatment and previous immunosuppressive therapy led to a poor seroconversion rate; the role of PE in the treatment of systemic necrotizing angiitis: PE are obviously useful in PAN related to HBV where immune complex deposition has been demonstrated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
We report the case of a 68-year old woman complaining of disorders of memory and persistent headaches in whom the diagnosis of Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia (WM) was made. Computerized tomography of the brain showed a butterfly-shaped hyperdensity in the splenium of the corpus callosum, with ventricular dilatation. Magnetic resonance imaging displayed high-intensity signals on T2-weighted sequences. Protein immunoelectrophoresis elicited an IgM kappa peak. The CSF was found to contain proteins and lymphocytes in excess, and immunohistochemical staining confirmed the predominance of anti-kappa and the presence of intrathecal IgM secretion. Chemotherapy was temporarily effective on the memory disorders, but the patient died 26 months after the beginning of treatment. Central nervous system manifestations are seldom observed in WM, and they are now grouped under the name of Bing-Neel syndrome. Psychic disorders are rarely reported. It is suggested that IgM secretion plays a predominant role in the pathogenesis of leucoencephalitis, and this is supported by the finding of intrathecal IgM synthesis.

Abstract
Seventeen patients with Behçet's disease were treated with intermittent intravenous bolus injections of cyclophosphamide. Twelve patients had severe eye lesions, 7 had central neurological disorders and 2 had both ocular and central nervous system involvement. Cyclophosphamide was given during 4 weeks on average, in mean doses of 922 +/- 127 mg. Each patient received an average of 10 +/- 5 injections. The drug was generally well tolerated; only one patient developed moderate and transient hepatocytolysis. Visual acuity was improved in 12 of the 22 eyes with active lesions, and signs of inflammation disappeared in all cases. Neurological improvement was observed in 5 of the 7 patients affected, with complete regression of the disorders in 2 of them. In 16 patients who were also under corticosteroid therapy, steroid dosage could be significantly reduced by 44 +/- 11 mg per day.
