It has long been noted that dermabrasion, plum-blossom needling or micro-needling, and even ablative fractional CO 2 laser can effectively induce repigmentation of vitiligo lesions resistant to conventional ultraviolet B phototherapy. In addition to trauma-induced increase in the transdermal absorption of drugs, these treatments also initiate wound repair and activate melanocytes in hair follicles or epidermis. Basal layer keratinocytes, vascular endothelial cells and fibroblasts in the wound margins can secrete chemokine CXCL12 to recruit melanocytes or melanocyte stem cells expressing chemokine receptors CXCR4/CXCR7 in the hair follicle bulge or around the skin lesions to move towards the vitiliginous area. This review summarizes progress in repigmentation of vitiligo lesions induced by therapeutic skin trauma.

Objective To study the use of early bile duct to bile duct end-to-end(side) anastomosis for extrahepatic bile duct injuries.Methods The clinical data of 25 patients with extrahepatic bile duct injuries with early bile duct to bile duct end-to-end(side) anastomosis were retrospectively analyzed.Results Bile duct injuries happened in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (n=17),laparoscopic exploration of common bile duct (n=1),laparotomy (n=5),and knife wound (n=2).All of the repairs were successfully carried out.Except for one patient who was lost to follow-up,the other patients were followed for over 2 years.There was no bile duct stenosis.One patient died after 5 months of repair in other hospital because of a recurrent bile duct calculus.Conclusions Early bile duct to bile duct end-to-end(side) anastomosis had a good long-term results.The operation needs to be done by a good surgeon or supervised by an experienced specialist in biliary surgery.A prolonged period of T tube stenting is a prerequisite for success.

Objective To establish the blood glucose fluctuation diabetic rat model by subcutaneous injecting insulin. Method The male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly assigned into two groups, normal group ( n =20) and model group ( n =40). Normal group rats were fed with normal diet, model group rats were fed with a high-sucrose-high-fat diet. After 6 weeks, a low dose of streptozotocin ( STZ ,30mg/kg) was injected to induce hyperglycemia in model group rats. And then the model group rats were ran-dom divided into two subgroups, diabetic group ( n = 20) and blood glucose fluctuation group ( n = 20). Blood glucose fluctuation group rats were induced by subcutaneous injecting insulin twice daily. All rats were executed after intervening for 3 months, metabolic cages were used to collect 24-hour urine one week before all rats were executed. Results The average blood glucose levels (MBG), the standard deviation of daily aver-age blood glucose (SDBG) and the largest amplitude of glycemic excursions (LAGE) were significant differ-ent (P<0. 05) among normal group, diabetic group and blood glucose fluctuation group. The 24 hours, pro-teinuria of diabetic group and blood glucose fluctuation group was higher than that in normal group[( 100. 38±7. 99)mg/24h vs (18. 13±1.41)mg/24h, (123. 71±11.23) mg/24h vs (18.13 ± 1.41 ) mg/24h, P <0.01] , and blood glucose fluctuation group was higher than diabetic group[(123. 71 ± 11.23 )mg/24h vs(100.38±7.99)mg/24h, P <0.05] . Conclusions The blood glucose fluctuation diabetic rats model was successfully induced by the method of subcutaneous insulin injection in diabetic rats twice daily.

Objective To investigate induction of the expression of human ?-defensin-2 (hBD-2) mRNA and the changes in activation of I-?B? and NF-?B by IL-1? in the human airway epithelium. Methods Primary human respiratory tract epithelium were stimulated with IL-1? and and/or PDTC. The expression of hBD-2 mRNA was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The I-?B? protein level in the cytoplasm was determined by Western blot, and the nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-?B) binding activity was analyzed by electrophoretic mobility shift assays. Results The hBD-2 mRNA expression could be detected after 1.5 hours of IL-1? stimulation at concentration of 1?g/L, and the expression of HBD-2 was in a dose dependent manner. Stimulation with IL-1? resulted in a reduction of I-?B? protein levels. The supershifts assays indicated that the p65-p50 heterodimer complexes of NF-?B were involved in the activation of NF-?B. Conclusions I-?B? can induce the expression of HBD-2 mRNA in a dose dependent manner; the p65-p50 heterodimer complexes of NF-?B play an important role in the regulation of hBD-2 gene expression in response to IL-1?.
