Objective:To assess the application value of reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) in evaluating clinical efficacy of hemoporfin-mediated photodynamic therapy for purple-type port-wine stain.Methods:From April 2018 to January 2020, a total of 39 patients with centrofacial purple-type port-wine stains were enrolled from Department of Dermatology, Wuhan No.1 Hospital, and received 3 sessions of hemoporfin-mediated photodynamic therapy. Before the first treatment, and 3- 6 months after 3 sessions of hemoporfin-mediated photodynamic therapy, skin lesions were photographed, and RCM was conducted to measure the diameter and density of blood vessels at a depth of 100 μm in the lesions. Clinical efficacy was evaluated based on the clinical photos, and the average diameter of blood vessels and density of blood vessels per square millimeter of lesion area were calculated. Measurement data were compared among different groups by using one-way analysis of variance, multiple comparisons were performed using least significant difference test, and comparisons of parameters before and after treatment were conducted by using paired t test. Results:After 3 sessions of hemoporfin-mediated photodynamic therapy, 1 (2.56%) patient was nearly completely cured, 16 (41.03%) received marked improvement, 20 (51.28%) received improvement, and 2 (5.13%) showed no response to the treatment. In the patients receiving marked improvement or improvement, the average diameter and density of blood vessels significantly decreased after treatment compared with those before treatment (all P < 0.05) , while no significant difference was observed before and after treatment in the patients with no response (both P > 0.05) . The average difference in the blood vessel diameter before and after treatment was significantly higher in the patients receiving marked improvement (48.56 ± 17.87 μm) than in those receiving improvement (31.15 ± 21.09 μm, P < 0.05) and those with no response (12.00 ± 2.83 μm, P < 0.05) . The average difference in the blood vessel density before and after treatment was 7.13 ± 3.44, 5.00 ± 2.22 and -0.50 ± 3.54 vessels/mm 2, respectively, in the patients receiving marked improvement, improvement and those with no response, and pairwise comparisons between the 3 groups all showed significant differences (all P < 0.05) . Conclusion:RCM can be used to assess the average diameter and density of blood vessels in the port-wine stain lesions before and after hemoporfin-mediated photodynamic therapy, and is helpful in quantitatively evaluating the therapeutic effect of hemoporfin-mediated photodynamic therapy.

Objective: To explore the effect of Laminarina Japonica Polysaccharides (LJPS) on blood glucose in diabetes mice.Methods: Effect of LJPS on alloxan inducing diabetes mellitus model was investigated by applying different doses(125,250 and 500mg/kg bw).Results: The doses of LJPS were able to lower blood glucose level by 34.96%,20.70% and 26.82% respectively. They also decreased BUN level, enhanced liver glycogen, calcium in serum and insulin concentration. LJPS could restore the injury of alloxan induced pancreas islet significantly by histopathological findingConclusion: The results show that LJPS is an active component in protecting against alloxan induced pancreas injury and mediating the blood glucose level.

Objective To investigate the effects of artesunate (AS) on septic lung injury in mice and to study the modulation of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in lung in order to clarify the mechanism of AS action.Methods Sixty male Kunming mice were randomly (random number) divided into four groups: Sham group (n =15), CLP group (n =15), AS + CLP group (n =15) and AS + ZnPP + CLP group (n =15).Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) method was employed to induce septic lung injury.AS (15 mg/ kg) was injected into the abdomen of mice 2 hours before the CLP procedures, and ZnPP Ⅸ, an inhibitor of HO-1, was intraperitoneally injected in dose of 40 μmol/kg 1 hour after the AS injection.The equivalent volume of normal saline was intraperitoneally injected instead in mice of Sham group and CLP group.The mice were sacrificed 24 hours after the CLP procedures.The TNF-α, IL-6 in serum were assayed by ELISA method.The lung injury score and wet/dry ratio were measured.The western blotting and immunohistochemistry methods were used to determine HO-1 protein expression in lung tissue.The protein level of nuclear factor-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf-2), an important transcriptional factor of HO-1 in lung tissue was also analyzed by western blotting.One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for comparisons among the groups, and SNK-q (Student-Newman-Keuls) test was performed for further comparison, and difference was statistically significant at P ＜ 0.05.Results The TNF-α (pg/mL) (54.37 ± 15.59 vs.627.45 ± 117.03, P ＜ 0.05), IL-6 (pg/mL) (81.53 ± 26.89 vs.898.52 ± 222.78, P ＜ 0.05) in serum was increased, and the lung protein exudation, pulmonary edema (wet/dry weight ratio: 4.27 ± 0.22 vs.6.78 ±0.73, P ＜ 0.05), pulmonary pathology injury (lung injury score: 2.20 ± 0.2 vs.13.25 ± 2.67, P ＜ 0.05) were aggravated by CLP.The HO-1 and Nrf-2 were up-regulated in lung tissue in CLP group compared with the sham group (P ＜ 0.05).After the intervention of AS, the HO-1 and Nrf-2 were further increased (P＜0.05), theTNF-α (pg/mL) (627.45 ±117.03 vs.307.88 ±72.33, P＜0.05), IL-6 (pg/mL) (898.52 ± 222.78 vs.413.47 ± 115.14, P ＜ 0.05) in serum, lung protein exudation, pulmonary edema (wet/dry weight ratio: 6.78 ± 0.73 vs.5.05 ± 0.61, P ＜ 0.05), pulmonary pathology injury (lung injury score: 13.25 ± 2.67 vs.4.95 ± 1.46, P ＜ 0.05) were attenuated compared with the CLP group.However, the protective role of AS in the septic lung injury in mice was partly reversed by ZnPP, and no significant difference was detected between the AS + CLP + ZnPP and CLP group (lung injury score: 12.15 ± 2.95 vs.13.25 ± 2.67, P ＞ 0.05;wet/dry weight ratio: 6.78 ± 0.73 vs.6.29 ± 0.82, P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions AS plays protective roles in septic lung injury, and it is attributed to limiting lung inflammation via up-regulation of HO-1.

Background and purpose: Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a high risk breast cancer characterized by the negative expression of estrogen receptor(ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and Her-2 that have no specific therapy. This study was to analyze clinical pathological characteristics, survival, and prognostic factors of patients with TNBC. Methods: Clinical and pathological as well as follow-up data of TNBC, treated at the Cancer Centre of Sun Yat-sen University from Jan. 2000 to Dec. 2003, were collected and analyzed. Results: A total number of 128 women were identified as having triple negative breast cancer. The median age of these patients was 46 years, and 60.9% of them had stage Ⅰ or Ⅱ disease. The majority of pathological types were invasive ductal carcinomas, and 78.1% of tumors were staged T1 or T2. And 48.4% of these patients were involved in lymph node. Event-free survival, local replase-free survival, distant metastasis-free survival and overall survival at five years were 71.1%, 84.3%, 75.8% and 83.6% respectively. Though lymph node metastasis, tumor masses, stage and lymph-vascular invasion were all found to be related to overall survival, however, only lymph node metastasis and tumor masses affected the overall survival as revealed by the Cox proportional hazard model analysis. Conclusion: Triple negative breast cancer has distinct clinical and pathological characteristics. The patients are usually young, with large masses, lymph node metastasis, family history of breast cancer and poor prognosis; lymph node metastasis and tumor mass are important prognostic factors.

Objective To monitor epidemiological distribution and antibiotic resistance of bacteria isolated from cerebral spinal fluid in neurosurgically treated patients. Methods Bacteria isolated from cerebral spinal fluid specimens and antibiotic resistance identification results of patients admitted into our department from January 2003 to December 2007 were collected to analyze distribution and antibiotic resistance of the pathogens. Results Of 437 isolates, Gram-positive bacilli and Gram-negative bacilli accounted for 73.5% (321 isolates) and 26.5% ( 116 isolates), respectively. The first five most fre-quently isolated pathogens were staphylococcus epidermidis (55.6%), staphylococcus aurens (15. 3% ), enterobacter (6.6%), aeinetobacter (5.3%) and pseudomonas aeruginosa (3.0%). The anti-bacterials with highest susceptibility to Gram-negative bacilli were imipenem ( 83.9% ), amikacin ( 68. 8% ), ciprofloxacin and tobramycin (67.4%), cefepime (61.3%) and ceftazidime (69.2%). The other antibacterials had susceptibility of less than 60%. Conclusions The prevailing pathogens in post-operative intracranial infection are Gram-pnsitive bacilli, especially staphylococcus epidermidis and staphylococcus anreu. Data collected in present study may provide valuable information for prophylactic and empirical antibiotic use in post-operative intracranial infection.
