Chinese Journal of General Practitioners 2015;14(4):285-287
To explore the clinical efficacies of narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) for atopic dermatitis (AD).Thirty AD patients (observation group) and 30 homochromous healthy volunteers (control group) were compared.The post-treatment scores of Scoring AD (SCORAD) and visual analogue scale (VAS) [(29.4 ± 9.5) & (3.2 ± 1.1) points] were lower significantly those pre-treatment [(60.7 ± 11.4) & 6.3 ± 1.6) points] (P < 0.01).The pre and post-treatment serum levels of 25 (OH) D3 and 1,25 (OH)2D3 were detected with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The post-treatment serum levels of 25 (OH) D3 and 1,25 (OH) 2 D3 [(75.36 ± 23.28) mmol/L & (149.28 ± 45.56) nmol/L] were significantly higher than those pre-treatment in observation group [(36.24 ± 18.48) mmol/L & (97.68 ± 32.88)nmol/L] (P <0.01).There were no significant differences from those in group control[(69.84 ± 20.64) mmol/L & (147.36 ± 43.68) nmol/L] (P > 0.05).And the pre-treatment serum levels of 25 (OH) D3 and 1,25 (OH)2D3 were all significantly lower in observation group than those in control group (P < 0.01).Thus NB-UVB therapy is both safe and effective for AD and it can boost significantly the serum level of vitamin D3.

Aim To examine the effect of Puerarin on calcium overload in human umbilical vascular endothelial cells(HUVECs).Methods The HUVECs were incubated with Puerarin,then were exposed to H_2O_2,ATP and high K~+.The changes of intracellular free calcium([Ca~(2+)]i) in HUVECs were determined using fluorescent Ca~(2+)-indicator fluo-3/AM with confocal laser scanning microscope.Results Puerarin inhibited the elevation of [Ca~(2+)]i induced by H_2O_2,ATP and high K~+,and the inhibition ratio were 72.2%,56.5% and 78.2% respectively.The effect of Puerarin inhibiting the elevation of [Ca~(2+)]i induced by high K~+ was similar to that of verapamil.Conclusion The mechanism of puerarin reducing the overload of calcium in HUVECs may be related with blocking both voltage-dependent calcium channels and the release of calcium pool in endoplasm.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between cytokeratin 19 fragment(CYFRA21-1), modified ultrasound B-line and connective tissue disease associated with interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD).Methods:The data of 112 patients with CTD hospitalized in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of the Second Hospital of Fujian Medical University from September 2019 to December 2021 were retrospectively collected. Sixty patients in the CTD-ILD group and 52 patients in the connective tissue disease without interstitial lung disease (CTD-noILD) group were included. The t-test and χ2 test were used to compare the demographic characteristics and tumor-associated antigens of the two groups of patients. Modified ultrasound score and HRCT Warrick score were evaluated by Pearson correlation analysis. In addition, the relationship between CYFRA21-1, modified ultrasound score and Warrick score were evaluated, and the diagnostic efficacy of CYFRA21-1 and modified ultrasound of CTD-ILD was evaluated and analyzed by binary logistic regression analysis. Results:Patients in the CTD-ILD group had higher CYFRA21-1 concentrations than the CTD-no-ILD group[5.74(4.25, 9.79) ng/ml vs. 2.79(2.21, 3.23) ng/ml, Z=45.94, P<0.001], patients in the CTD-ILD group had higher modified ultrasound scores than the CTD-no-ILD group [44.5(36.5, 60.0) vs. 5.0 (3.2, 6.8), P<0.001]. Modified ultrasound score was positively correlated with Warrick score ( r=0.93, P<0.001) and CYRFA21-1 was positively correlated with modified ultrasound score ( r=0.39, P=0.042). The sensitivity of CYFRA21-1 in determining CTD-ILD was 81.7% and the specificity was 92.3% [ AUC (95% CI)=0.88(0.81, 0.95), P<0.001], the sensitivity of modified ultrasound B-line to determine CTD-ILD was 96.4% and the specificity was 92.9% [ AUC (95% CI)=0.99 (0.97, 1.00), P<0.001]. History of smoking[ OR(95% CI)=9.26(1.11, 77.12), P=0.040] and elevated CYFRA21-1 concentration[ OR(95% CI)=19.40(4.89, 76.95), P<0.001] were risk factors for CTD-ILD. Conclusion:CYFRA21-1 is expected to be a serum marker indicating concomitant ILD in patients with CTD. Modified ultrasound B-line to determine concomitant ILD in CTD patients has good diagnostic utility and can reflect the severity of pulmonary fibrosis in CTD-ILD patients.

Objective To study the effects of fine particulate matter(PM2.5) on the autophagy in human melanocytes. Methods PM2.5 was collected in Huanggang city. Then the water-soluble extracts and non-water-soluble extracts were isolated and the melanocytes were exposed to a W-PM2.5 or NW-PM2.5 with various concentrations. Autophagy of melanocytes was observed by MDC staining, and the expression of LC3-II /I were detected by immunohistochemistry and western blot. Results With the increase of concentration of W-PM2.5 and NW-PM2.5, the expression of melanocyte autophagosome and LC3-II /I increased, and the autophagy response was significantly enhanced(P<0.01).In addition, the results of western blot showed that, at the same concentration, NW-PM2.5 components had a stronger effect on promoting LC3II/I expression than W-PM2.5 components(P<0.01).Conclusion PM2.5 can induce oxidative stress injury and excessive autophagy of melanocytes.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of iron deficiency(ID)and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in pregnant women in urban areas of China. Methods The study was a national cross-sectional survey conducted from September 19th, 2016 to November 20th, 2016. According to the classification of the National Bureau of Statistics, all survey sites were set up in 6 regions of the country. Pregnant women were continuously selected using multistage stratified sampling. A total of 12 403 pregnant women were collected and examined for serum ferritin and hemoglobin levels. Results The median serum ferritin level during pregnancy was 20.60 μg/L(11.78-36.98 μg/L), the hemoglobin level was(118±12)g/L. With the progress of pregnancy, the levels of serum ferritin and hemoglobin decreased gradually. The median serum ferritin levels in the first, second trimester and third trimester were 54.30 μg/L(34.48-94.01 μg/L), 28.60 μg/L(16.40-50.52 μg/L), and 16.70 μg/L(10.20-27.00 μg/L)respectively(P<0.01). The mean hemoglobin levels were(127 ± 10)g/L,(119 ± 11)g/L and(117 ± 11)g/L respectively(P<0.01). The prevalence of ID in urban pregnant women was 48.16%(5 973/12 403), and IDA prevalence was 13.87% (1 720/12 403). The prevalence of IDA in the first, second trimester and third trimester were 1.96% (20/1 019), 8.40%(293/3 487)and 17.82%(1 407/7 897), respectively(P<0.01). The prevalence of standardized ID and IDA were significantly different in various regions of China(P<0.01). The standardized prevalence of ID were relatively higher in East China and Northeast China, 57.37% and 53.41% respectively, while it was the lowest in Southwest China, 30.51%. The standardized prevalence of IDA in South Central, Northwest, and East China were relatively high, 21.30%, 16.97% and 17.53% respectively, and the standardized prevalence of IDA in Southwest China was the lowest, 5.44%,the differents in various regions were significant(all P<0.01). Conclusion The current phenomenon of ID and IDA in pregnant women is still very common,and nutrition and health care during pregnancy should be strengthened.
