Objective To investigate alterations in epigenetic regulation in B cells in subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE).Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated from the peripheral venous blood of SCLE patients and healthy donors with density gradient centrifugation.B cells were isolated with CD19 micro beads and protocols provided by the manufacturer.Total RNAs were isolated with RNA kits.The expressions of silence information regulator 1 (Sirt1) mRNA were investigated with quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Results The levels of Sirt1 mRNA were significantly increased in SCLE B cells relative to healthy controls (P < 0.01).Conclusions Histone modifications appear abnormal in B cells in SCLE.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of K8 short wave therapeutic apparatus on facial sensitive skin.Methods 130 patients with facial sensitive skin admitted in our hospital from November 2015 to September 2017 were selected as the subjects.According to the different surgical methods,65 cases in the control group were treated with intensive care cream.On the basis of the control group,65 cases in observation group were given K8 therapeutic apparatus.Then we compared the treatment effect between the two groups.Results K8 shortwave therapeutic apparatus to treat facial sensitive skin can achieve higher total effective rate,reduce the skin area score and and erythema parameters,reduce the skin water loss and improve skin stratum corneum moisture content.After two weeks of treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group (98.46%) was higher than that of the control group (86.15%),the skin area score [(2.28 ± 0.26) piont],the erythema parameter (180.28 ± 29.87) and the epidermis water loss [(9.85 ±2.25)g/(cm2 ×h)] were lower than that in the control group [(4.54 ± 1.14) point,223.87 ± 30.47,(13.02 ± 3.25) g/(cm2 × h)],while the water content of the skin cuticle [(88.75 ± 10.35) %] was higher than that of the control group [(78.98 ± 9.58) %] (all P < 0.01).Conclusions K8 short-wave therapeutic apparatus combined with intensive care cream has a better clinical effect and certain advantage in the treatment of facial skin sensitive skin than the use of intensive care cream alone.
