Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the non-ablative 1550 nm fractional laser on post-acne atrophic scarring and post-acne erythema.By following up,the correlative factors were analyzed to guide the further use of the non-ablative 1550 nm fractional laser.Methods Twentyseven patients who received the non-ablative 1550 nm fractional laser therapy from Dec.2011 to June 2013 were enrolled in this retrospective study.We used a quartile grading scale for evaluation of postacne atrophic scarring and post-acne erythema.Results The effective rate was 13.0％ (3/23) for post-acne atrophic scarring and 44.0％ (11/25) for post-acne erythema.Nonparametric test showed that there was no statistical correlation of the efficacy with gender,age and courses of disease.But there was positive correlation between efficacy and treatment frequencies on post-acne erythema (r=0.619,P＜0.05).No severe adverse effect was observed.Conclusions We suggest that the nonablative 1550 nm fractional laser may provide a new treatment algorithm in some cases of post-acne atrophic scar and post-acne erythema.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association of angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) gene polymorphism and its serum levels with cerebral infarction, and further to explore its possible mechanism. MethodsEighty-four patients with cerebral infarction(cerebral infarction group) and 74 healthy controls(healthy control group) underwent the determination of ACE gene insertion/deletion polymorphism by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and agarose gel electrophoresis(AGE). The serum levels of ACE were measured simultaneously. The difference in distribution of ACE gene polymorphism was compared between cerebral infarction group and ealthy control group. ResultsThe frequency of DD genotype in cerebral infarction group was significantly higher than that of healthy control group(50% vs 28% ,P<0.01); so was the frequency of D allele(64% vs 46% ,P<0.05). ACE gene polymorphism was associated with the serum level of ACE. A significant difference in serum ACE level was observed among three ACE genotypes. The highest serum ACE level or activity was in deletion homozygote(genotype DD), followed by heterzygote(genotype ID) and insertion homozygote(genotype Ⅱ)(P<0.01). ConclusionThe polyrnorphism of ACE gene and serum level of ACE are associated with cerebral infarction. The DD gene type of ACE and D allele may be the risk factor for cerebral infarction.
