Objective To investigate the effects of aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy(ALA-PDT) on chicken combs, an animal model for port wine stains (PWS), and to explore the feasibility of PWS treatment with ALA-PDT. Methods A total of 80 leghorns were randomly and equally divided into 10 groups: blank control group receiving no treatment, ALA group treated with ALA alone, four single laser groups irradiated with 630-nm red laser at 75, 100, 150 and 200 J/cm2 respectively, four ALA-PDT groups pretreated with ALA followed by 630-nm red laser radiation at 75, 100, 150 and 200 J/cm2 respectively. An area sized 1 cm × 1 cm were marked at one side of combs in all these leghorns, and served as the experiment area to receive corresponding treatment, with that in the other side as the control area. Tissue specimens were obtained on the 14th and 28th days after treatment followed by the observation of morphological and histological changes, calculation of decrement rate in capillary number, and determination of apoptosis index in vascular endothelial cells (VECs) in chicken combs. Results In all the four ALA-PDT groups, the combs became lighter in color with apoptosis of some VECs as well as a decrease in capillary count and diameter in the dermis of the experiment areas. The decrement rate in capillary number was 33.53% ± 4.89%, 52.02% ± 2.77%, 67.48% ± 5.58%and 88.96% ± 2.47% respectively, and apoptosis index in VECs was 63.44 ± 1.09, 88.50 ± 6.11, 94.32 ± 3.67 and 113.76 ± 10.57 respectively, in the 75-, 100-, 150- and 200-J/cm2 ALA-PDT groups on the 14th day after treatment, and both the decrement rate and apoptosis index in each of these groups were significantly different from those in the blank control group, ALA group, single laser groups receiving red laser radiation at the corresponding dose, and the other ALA-PDT groups (all P < 0.01)separately. The apoptosis depth of VECs, defined as the vertical distance from the basal layer to the deepest level at which VEC apoptosis occurred, was 201.19 ± 0.33 μm, 266.15 ± 1.02 μm, 546.09 ± 2.45 μm and 766.37 ± 1.08 μm respectively in the 75-, 100-, 150- and 200-J/cm2 ALA-PDT groups on the 14th day, with significant differences between these four groups (all P < 0.01). Conclusions ALA-PDT can markedly damage capillaries in the animal model of port wine stains, chicken combs, with the degree and depth of capillary damage associated with red light energy density. The induction of VEC apoptosis may be an action mechanism of ALA-PDT in the treatment of PWS.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of Xingnaojing Injection combined with minimally invasive percutaneous drainage on brain edema and content of serum aquaporin-4 (AQP4) in patients with moderate hypertensive basal ganglia hemorrhage, and discuss the treatment mechanism of Xingnaojing injection combined with minimally invasive percutaneous drainage for cerebral hemorrhage.

METHODForty-two patients with moderate (25-50 mL) hypertensive basal ganglia hemorrhage (< 24 h) were selected and randomly divided into two groups: the observation group (n = 22) and the control group (n = 20). The neurological severity score were evaluated by the NIHSS (national institutes of health stroke scale), the volume of brain edemas were measured by head CT, the serum levels of AQP4 were determined by ELISA method on admission and 1 and 2 weeks after treatment.

RESULTOn admission, there was no significant difference in the scores of NIHSS, the volume of brain edemas and the level of serum AQP4 between the observation group and the control group. At the end of the first week after the treatment, the score of NIHSS of the observation group were lower than that of the control group, with significant different (P < 0.05); the observation group showed reduced volume of brain edemas than that on admission (P < 0.05), whereas the control group the control group showed increased volume of brain edemas than that on admission; the control group displayed increased level of serum AQP4 than that on admission, but without significant difference; the observation group displayed decreased level of serum AQP4 than that on admission (P < 0.05). At the end of the second week after the treatment, the control group showed decreased score of NIHSS than that on admission and at the end of the first week after treatment (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group showed a much lower score of NIHSS (P < 0.01), the control group displayed reduced volume of brain edemas than that on admission and at the end of the first week after treatment, but the observation group was even lower than the control group. Both of observation and control groups displayed significantly reduced level of AQP4 (P < 0.05), but the observation group showed a lower AQP4 level than that of the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe therapy of Xingnaojing injection combined with minimally invasive percutaneous drainage could remarkably reduce brain edema, and promote neural functional recovery, thus could be selected as a therapeutic regimen for patients with moderate hypertensive basal ganglia hemorrhage.

Epigenetic changes are important etiological factors of human tumor. The integrity of the genome is frequently challenged by the damage of DNA. However, the highly condensed structure of chromatin imposes significant obstacles on the repair processes. Eukaryotes have developed intricate mechanisms to overcome this repressive barrier imposed by chromatin. Covalent histone modifications and ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling play important roles in the process of DNA repair. Recent advances of the epigenetic regulations in the repair process were summarized. New findings in the cellular responses to DNA double strand breaks and how histone modifications and chromatin remodeling contributes to DNA double strand break repair were introduced. Future challenges in this field are also discussed.
