A 36-year-old female presented with multiple dark brown papules on the chest and abdomen for more than 10 years,which had gradually increased in number.Physical examination revealed dozens of dark brown,flat papules measuring 1-3 mm in diameter in the chest and abdomen.Most of the lesions had a smooth surface,and some lesions gave a papilloma-like appearance,with no confluent trend.Biopsy of abdominal lesions showed mild hyperkeratosis of epidermis,acanthosis,extension of epidermal protrusions forming a reticulated appearance,horn pseudocysts in prickle cell layer,enhanced pigmentation of basal layer,and a sparse lymphocytic perivascular infiltrate in superficial dermis.A diagnosis of dermatosis papulosa nigra (DPN) was made.

Attenuation reflectance Fourier transformation infrared spectrometry(ATR FTIRs) combined with clustering analysis was used to identify genus Zanthoxlum .The dendrogram of clustering analysis showed that there were obvious difference between genus different species of Zanthoxlum . The results are consistent with that of morphologic study and analyzing.This method is rapid, simple, effective and can be used for the identification of crude drugs.

Objective To analyze the therapeutic outcomes and adverse effects of high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (hd-IVIg) in the treatment of some severe skin diseases (toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug hypersensitivity syndrome, connective tissue disease, autoimmune bullous disease, acute graft-versus-host disease). Methods Twenty-five cases of severe skin diseases were treated with hd-IVIg (0.4 g/kg/day for a course of 5 days). Results The therapeutic outcomes were different from each other. Of all the cases, 21 improved, especially those of acute onset of toxic epidermal necrolysis and drug hypersensitivity syndrome; 1 adult dermatomyositis and 2 elder bullous pemphigoid were not relieved. A patient with acute graft-versus-host disease died. Three patients presented with minor adverse effects (headache and blood pressure rising). Conclusions hd-IVIg is effective and safe in the treatment of some severe skin diseases. More importantly, it has a substantial effect on shortening disease course and decreasing the dosage of glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants as well as on preventing infections.

Objective To study the resistance mechanism of Ureaplasma urealyticum (Uu) to erythromycin.Methods The susceptibility of 73 clinical isolates of Uu to erythromycin was evaluated by using broth dilution techniques. PCR and DNA sequencing were carried out to screen hot spot mutations at the variable region of 23S ribosomal RNA in erythromycin-resistant strains of Uu. Moreover, erythromycin resistance methylase genes (ermA, ermB, ermC) and efflux pump genes (mefA/E, msrA/B, mreA) were screened by using PCR with specific primers. Results There were 35 (47.95%) resistant Uu strains out of the 73 isolates, and the minimal inhibitory concentration varied from 8 to 32 mg/L among these resistant strains. The ermB gene was detected in 19 (54.29%) resistant strains, and msrA/B gene in 9 (25.71%) resistant strains. Two resistant strains harbored both ermB gene and msrA/B gene. No mutation at 23S ribosomal RNA or amplification of resistance-associated genes was noted in sensitive or reference strains of Uu. Conclusion The ermB and msrA/B genes may be responsible for the erythromycin resistance of Uu.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of systemic sclerosis( SSc)patients with pulmonary hypertension(PAH)ane its treatment approach ane prognosis. Methods The clinical information of 16 SSc patients with PAH(PAH group)were recoreee. Seventy-four SSc without PAH were servee as no-PAH group. Patients in PAH group were given the basic therapy inclueing oxygen therapy,anticoagulants,careiac, eiuretic,anti-rheumatic,pulmonary vasoeilator therapy. Results The rate of antinuclear antiboey in PAH ane non-PAH group were 87. 5%(14 / 16)ane 75. 7%(56 / 74),ane the eifference was statistically significant(P= 0. 508). Serum albumin,erythrocyte seeimentation rate at 1 h in PAH group were(32. 6 ± 4. 6)g/ L ane (48. 4 ± 29. 4)mm/ 1 h. The rate of acral lesion proteinuria,hematuria,ECG abnormal rate were 62. 5%(10 / 16),62. 5%(10 / 16),43. 8%(7 / 16),62. 5%(10 / 16)respectively in PAH group. Serum albumin, erythrocyte seeimentation rate at 1 h in PAH group were(35. 6 ± 5. 0)g/ L ane(31. 3 ± 26. 3)mm/ 1 h in non-PAH group. The rate of acral lesions,proteinuria,hematuria,ECG abnormal rate were 31. 1%(23 / 74),27. 0%(20 / 74),12. 2%(9 / 74),9. 5%( 7 / 74 ) respectively in non-PAH group. The eifferences were significant between in terms of all above ineices(P = 0. 033,0. 041,0. 018,0. 006,0. 003,0. 000). During follow-up,the eisease was in stable in 74 case of non-PAH. Among 16 case with PAH,1 mile case was lost,1 case with severe PAH eiee of severe pneumonia,pulmonary hypertension,right ventricular failure,respiratory failure,3 mile patient with PAH were with eevelopment of primary eisease ane the rest 11 cases of PAH patients were with lower interstitial lung eisease than that of the previous eetectee by chest HRCT. Oppler echocareiography measurement of pulmonary artery systolic pressure was(48. 9 ± 2. 4)mmHg before treatment ane then reeucee to(31. 5 ± 4. 5)mmHg in rest 11 cases(t = 22. 27;P = 0. 001)measuree by Doppler echocareiography. Careiac function was improvee euring followee up ane no other aeverse reactions were seen. Conclusion SSc patients merge multiple PAH show it associate with other organ eamage,ane has a poor prognosis. Early careiac Doppler ultrasoune shoule be performee in oreer to get early eiagnosis ane treatment. Treatment approaches shoule be targetee at the primary eisease ane incentives such as pulmonary besiee oxygen therapy,eiuretics,careiac ane anticoagulant erugs in oreer to improve prognosis.

Objective To study the ability of standard strain and clinical isolates of Ureaplasma spp. to form biofilms in vitro and to compare the antibiotic susceptibility of sessile cells and their planktonic counterparts. Methods A total of 21 Ureaplasma wealyticum(Uu) isolates recovered from female patients diagnosed with cervicitis and Uu serovar 3 and Uu serovar 8( Uu3, Uu8) were included. Scanning electron microscope and confocal scanning laser microscopy were used to identify biofilm formation. Conventional antibiotic susceptibility tests and biofilm susceptibility assays for tetracycline, erythromycin and ciprofloxacin were carried out. The paired rank sum test and was applied to analyze the statistical differences between the MIC and the minimal biofilm inhibitory concentration. The x2 test was applied to analyze the statistical differences of global resistance percentages between planktonic cells and sessile cells. Results Uu3, Uu8 and 21 Uu isolates all can form biofilms in vitro. Minimal inhibitory concentration of sessile cells compared with planktonic cells were obviously higher for tetracycline, erythromycin and ciprofloxacin (P <0.001). Global resistance percentages between planktonic cells and sessile cells were different for erythromycin (9.52% vs 61.90% , P < 0. 001), ciprofloxacin ( 80. 95% vs 100% , P = 0. 035 ) and tetracycline (4. 76% vs 14.29% , P =0.293). Conclusion Uu isolates and Uu1, Uu8 all can form biofilms in vitro, and biofilm formation can strengthen resistance of Uu to antibiotics, even multidrug resistance was observed.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of two kinds of homemade sirolimus-eluting stents (Firebird and Excel) for treatment of acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods The 249 consecutive patients with STEMI who underwent PCI were randomly divided into two groups: Excel group (n=136) and Firebird group (n=113). They were followed up for 6-24 months, and coronary angiography was reviewed average 12 months later. The primary endpoints were major adverse cardiac events, including death, reinfarction and target vessel revascularization. The second endpoints included late luminal loss and restenosis 12 months after treatment. Results There were no significant differences in baseline data, coronary arterial lesion before operation, and immediateness condition after PCI between the two groups (all P＞0.05). Within follow-up, there were 2 (1.47%) death cases and 1 (0.88%) death case, 1 (0.74%) and 1 (0.88%) nonfatal myocardial infarction case, 2 (1.47%) and 2 (1.77%) target vessel revascularization cases in the two groups respectively (all P＞0.05). There were no significant differences in late luminal loss of in-stent and in-segment, the rates of in-stent restenosis, in-segment restenosis and stent thrombosis, the in-stent minimal lumen diameter and in-segment minimal lumen diameter between the two groups (all P＞0.05). Conclusions The two kinds of homemade sirolimus-eluting stents may have similar efficacy and safety in patients with STEMI treated with primary PCI.

Objective: To understand the awareness of palliative care and its influencing factors in community residents in Hangzhou,so as to provide basis for the development of palliative care service. Methods: By convenient sampling method,the residents in the urban-rural junction of Xihu District were recruited. A self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate their awareness of palliative care. The logistic regression model was employed to analyze the influencing factors. Results : A total of 519 questionnaires were recovered,with a response rate of 97.92%. There were 227 males and 292 females,accounting for 43.74% and 56.26%,respectively. There were 43,218 and 258 residents with more,basic and little understanding about palliative care, accounting for 8.29%,42.00% and 49.71%. The residents learned about palliative care mainly through television and radio,with 245 cases accounting for 47.21%;and they thought that the main reason for low awareness of palliative care was a lack of related knowledge,with 396 cases accounting for 76.30%. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that 50-59 years old（OR = 0.467,95% CI：0.285-0.767）,primary school education and below（OR = 2.248,95%CI：1.239-4.079）and experience of caring for dying patients（OR = 1.551,95% CI：1.094-2.199）were the influencing factors for the awareness of palliative care. Conclusion The residents in Hangzhou had relatively low awareness of palliative care,which were associated with age,education level and experience of caring for dying patients.
