Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of long-pulsed 1064 nm Nd ∶ YAG laser combined with intralesional injection of triamcinolone in the treatment of keloids.Methods A total of 78 cases were randomly divided into two groups.The treatment group was treated with long-pulsed 1064 nm Nd ∶ YAG laser combined with intralesional injection of triamcinolone.The control group was only given intralesional injection of triamcinolone.The efficacy and adverse reactions were determined at the end of the first and the second course,respectively,and follow-up for one year was conducted in order to observe the recurrence.Results When the first course was over,cure rate of 21.95 ％ and efficiency rate of 73.17 ％ were observed in the treatment group,while they were 10.81％ and 45.95 ％,respectively,in the control group; the efficacy rate was statistically significant different in these two groups (P＜0.05).After two courses,cure rate of 70.73 ％ and efficiency rate of 100 ％ were observed in the treatment group while they were 45.95 ％ and 83.78 ％,respectively,in the control group,showing that both of the rates were statistically higher in the treatment group (P＜0.05).Conclusions Compared to intralesional injection of triamcinolone,long-pulsed 1064 nm Nd ∶ YAG laser combined with injection of triamcinolone has a more satisfactory effect on keloids.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between the high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and anxiety levels in patients hospitalized with cardiovascular-related diseases and hypertension.Methods:A total of 221 patients hospitalized with cardiovascular-related diseases in the Fuwai Hospital were selected by a voluntary sampling method from September to December 2021. Participants were divided into hypertensive and non-hypertensive groups ( n=119 and n=102) based on the diagnosis of hypertension in their inpatient medical records. Anxiety levels were assessed using the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, and the levels of serum hs-CRP were estimated by automatic immunoanalyzer. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between hs-CRP and anxiety. Results:In the hypertensive group, the risk of anxiety in patients with abnormal hs-CRP (>3 mg/L) was 4.239 times (95% CI: 1.569-11.748, P=0.005) higher than those in normal hs-CRP (≤3 mg/L). In turn, compared with patients without anxiety, those with anxiety had 3.878 times greater probability of experiencing abnormal hs-CRP (95% CI: 1.495-10.062, P=0.005), while those with mild anxiety and moderate to severe anxiety had 4.525 times (95% CI: 1.392-14.714, P=0.012) and 3.286 times (95% CI: 0.911-11.357, P=0.070) greater odds of experiencing abnormal hs-CRP, respectively. No similar significant association was seen in the non-hypertensive group. Conclusion:There is an interrelationship between elevated hs-CRP and anxiety in hospitalized patients with cardiovascular-related diseases and hypertension.
