Objective:
To investigate the effects of PRX-2 gene on phenotype changes in epidermal stem cells differentiating into sweat gland cells.
Methods:
Epidermal stem cells and sweat gland cells separated and cultured from healthy foreskin and adult full-thick skin respectively, were identified by immunofluorescence staining. Lentiviral vector-mediated overexpression and knockdown of PRX-2 gene in epidermal stem cells were performed respectively, with empty vector-mediated epidermal stem cells as a control group. Overexpression、blank control and knowdown group′s PRX-2 expressions in gene and protein levels were detected using RT-PCR and Western blot technology. The ESCs of each group were co-cultured with sweat gland cells through transwell plate, and the expressions of CEA and β1 integrin in epidermal stem cells were determined by flow cytometry before and after co-culturing.
Results:
Epidermal stem cells and sweat gland cells were in line with their respective specific antigens. Before co-cultured, epidermal stem cells highly expressed β1 integrin (98.69±0.67)%, hardly expressed CEA (6.20±3.15)%. After co-cultured, β1 integrin expression levels were showed as knockdown group (19.30±0.53)%

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of ultrapulse fractional CO 2 laser in the treatment of mild to moderate orbital aging in Asians. Methods:From January 2018 to December 2018, 36 patients (72 eyes) with mild to moderate orbital aging were enrolled, 22 women and 14 men, with an average age of 32.4 years. Each patient was randomly divided into two groups. In the traditional operation group, 36 eyes received blepharoplasty through traditional inferior conjunctival approach. In the ultrapulsed fractional CO 2 laser group, 36 eyesunderwent blepharoplasty through the lower eyelid conjunctival approach assisted by optoelectronics. Both groups were treated with ultrapulsed fractional CO 2 laser for periorbital aging. The operation time, detumescence time and postoperative complications were compared. At the same time, the periorbital skin relaxation was treated by the combination of the two groups. The patients were followed up for 12 months. Results:In the traditional operation group, 11 cases were evaluated as Barton grade Ⅰ preoperatively, and the efficacy score was 0.64±0.21. In 25 cases of Barton grade Ⅱ the efficacy score was 1.34±0.34. 17 cases were Barton Ⅰ in photoelectric assisted group, and the efficacy score was 0.92±0.18. In 19 cases of Barton grade Ⅱ, the efficacy score was 1.71±0.42. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in Barton Ⅰ efficacy score, P<0.05 ( P=0.016); There was also a statistically significant difference between the two groups in efficacy score of Barton Ⅱ, P<0.05 ( P=0.039). The operation time of the photoelectric assisted group was (12.00±1.82) minutes, and the edema duration was (4.0±1.8) days. The duration of operation in the conventional surgery group was (16.00±3.75) minutes, and the duration of edema was (7.0±2.4) days. The operation time and edema duration in the photoelectric assisted group were both shorter than those in the traditional operation group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The blepharoplasty through traditional inferior conjunctival approach assisted with ultrapulsed fractional CO 2 laser has no obvious bleeding, with shorter operation time, swelling reduction time and the number of complications than the traditional operation.This method can solve the symptoms of blepharoplasty, lower eyelid skin relaxation and wrinkles around eyes. This method is worthy of promotion in the treatment of patients with mild to moderate periorbital aging.
