China Pharmacy 2005;0(17):-
OBJECTIVE:To provide optimal therapeutic scheme for patients with acne vulgaris. METHODS: By a single-blind randomized controlled method,a total of 122 patients with acne vulgaris were assigned to one of the following 3 groups: tazarotene cream group(n=42),Water chlorine tincture group(n=38) and combined treatment group(n=42). The curative efficacy was observed after treatment for 8 consecutive weeks. RESULTS: The number of skin lesions in all the 3 groups reduced as the course of treatment increased,and there were significant differences across the 3 groups after 8-week treatment as compared with before treatment (P0.05). CONCLUSION: Tazarotene cream is effective for non-inflammatory acne. The superior efficacy of water chlorine tincture as compared with tazarotene for patients with impetigo might be related to the antibacterial action of chloramphenicol. Tazarotene cream combined with local application of 0.5% water chlorine tincture is effective for inflammatory acne.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of recurrence after laparoscopic myomectomy and provide references for clinical prevention and treatment.Methods:The clinical data of 216 patients who underwent laparoscopic myomectomy in Ningjin County People′s Hospital from June 2016 to December 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. The recurrence rate at 12 months after the operation was followed up, and the risk factors influencing the recurrence after laparoscopic myomectomy were screened by univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression model.Results:After followed up for 12 months after the operation, 24 cases had recurrence, with a recurrence rate of 11.11%(24/216). Univariate analysis showed that the recurrence after laparoscopic myomectomy was significantly correlated with surgical age, age at menarche, number of fibroids, uterine size, and gonadrotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) treatment after the operation ( P<0.05), but was not significantly correlated with body mass index, fibroid size, fibroid type, and pregnancy after the operation ( P>0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that surgical age ≥ 35 years old ( OR=1.289, 95% CI 1.013-1.641), age at menarche <13 years old ( OR=1.765, 95% CI 1.167 - 2.669), and number of fibroids ≥ 2 ( OR=2.487, 95% CI 1.442 - 4.288) were independent risk factors for recurrence after laparoscopic myomectomy ( P<0.05), while GnRH-a treatment after the operation ( OR = 0.696, 95% CI 0.510-0.951) was its protective factor ( P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of surgical age ≥ 35 years old, menarche age <13 years old, and number of fibroids ≥ 2 for predicting recurrence after laparoscopic myomectomy was 0.641 (95% CI 0.573 - 0.705), 0.719 (95% CI 0.654 - 0.778) and 0.622 (95% CI 0.554 - 0.687), and age at menarche had the greatest diagnostic efficiency. Conclusions:Surgical age ≥ 35 years old, age at menarche <13 years old, and number of fibroids ≥ 2 are independent risk factors for recurrence after laparoscopic myomectomy. Intraoperative ultrasound and postoperative GnRH-a treatment can help reduce the risk of postoperative recurrence.

Objective To explore the pathological mechanism of brain function and structure in young patients with major depressive disorder by diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)and resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI).Methods Sixteen participants diagnosed with major depression (MD) and 16 healthy age and gender-matched controls(HC) were recruited. Resting state fMRI and DTI brain scans were performed on all participants. A voxel-based method (VBM) was used to analyze the DTI datasets, and regional homogeneity (ReHo) approach was applied to preprocess the fMRI datasets. The value of fractional anisotropy (FA) and ReHo maps were obtained in the whole brain.Results FA values in the MD group were significantly lower than those of the healthy controls in the white matter of the left middle temporal gyrus, right middle frontal gyrus, left medial frontal gyrus, right precentral gyrus, left angular gyrus, left fusiform gyrus, left superior temporal gyrus, right middle temporal gyrus, right sub-gyral, left insula, and left pyramis (P<0.01). ReHo in the MD group decreased in the left superior frontal gyrus, right superior frontal gyrus, left middle frontal gyrus, right middle frontal gyrus, left medial frontal gyrus, right medial frontal gyrus, left paracentral lobule, right paracentral lobule, right inferior parietal lobule, left postcentral gyrus, right postcentral gyrus, left middle occipital gyrus, left lingual gyrus, right putamen, right cingulate gyrus, right cuneus, left superior temporal gyrus, and right middle temporal gyrus (P<0.01). Conclusion Abnormality of brain white microstructure and function exist widely in young patients with major depressive disorder. Abnormal connection of structures and function between the brain areas may be the key reason for the depression.
