Aim To study the effect of halometasone in combination with scutellaria baicalensis georgi on the vitiligo mice induced by monobenzone. Methods 40% monobenzone cream was applied to induce vitiligo in C57BL/6 mice. Through the halometasone, halo-metasone and scutellaria baicalensis georgi combined with 40% monobenzone cream, the influence of halo-metasone and scutellaria baicalensis georgi on mice de-colorizing was studied. Hair decolorizing was observed with the naked eye, the skin decolorizing was observed by reflectance confocal microscopy ( RCM ) , and CD8 +T cell infiltration was tested with immunofluores-cence detection. The serum levels of interleukin-6(IL-6 ) and tumor necrosis factor-α( TNF-α) were deter-mined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) . Results Mice in model group showed de-pigmentation at both the monobenzone application part and non-application part. The halometasone group did not show significant therapeutic efficacy. In halometa-sone and scutellaria baicalensis georgi treatment group, there was less decolorization, the occurrence ratio, the scores of occurring time and size were lower compared with model group. There were fewer infiltrated lympho-cytes and CD8 +T cells. Halometasone and scutellaria baicalensis georgi group also showed that the serum levels of IL-6,TNF-α decreased. Conclusion Halo-metasone and scutellaria baicalensis georgi have thera-peutic effect on vitiligo mice induced by monobenzone.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of decision-making impairment in male patients with heroin dependence in methadone maintenance treatment(MMT). Methods A total of 45 male patients in MMT were compared with matched 32 health controls on the Iowa Gambling Task. Results Participants with anxiety or depression had to be excluded, MMT subjects were required to have negative urine toxicology screening tests.The MMT group selected more net disadvantageous cards (number of cards selected from the disadvantageous decks minus number of cards selected from advantageous decks) than health controls( (9.11 ± 19.60, -4.25 ±10.27 respectively), t=3. 884, P<0.01). A 2(group) ×5(block) ANOVA (analysis of variance) on the cards of net disadvantageous from the gambling task revealed a significant main effect of group( F= 12.414, P<0.01 ).The ANOVA also revealed a significant main effect of block( F=6.871, P<0.01 ). The study indicated the totalnumber of net disadvantageous cards for MMT subjects was negative correlation to the age of initial drug use ( r=- 0. 320, P < 0. 05 ). Meanwhile, methadone dose and the time of enrollment MMT did not reveal a significant main effect on decision-making biases. Conclusion The deficit of decision making for male heroin dependent patients might be attributed to the dysfunction of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, and this effect does not resolve with abstinence, even very long term abstinence. Methadone may not get worse this impairment in male patients who have a history of heroin use during maintenance treatment intervention.

Objective:To explore the epidemiological characteristics, clinical characteristics, treatment strategies and clinical results of non-dislocated hyperextension tibial plateau fracture.Methods:A total of 25 cases of non-dislocated hyperextension tibial plateau fracture patients were collected, including 12 males and 13 females, aged 27-79 years with an average age of 51±15 years. Causes of injury: 18 cases of traffic accident, 2 cases of heavy injury, 5 cases of falling injury. Schatzker classification of tibial plateau fracture: 4 cases of type II, 5 cases of type IV, 13 cases of type V, 3 cases of type VI. Three columns theoretical classification: 4 cases of simple lateral column, 5 cases of simple medial column, 7 cases of medial column+lateral columns, 9 cases of three columns. Preoperative tibial plateau posterior slope angle was -10-0 degrees, average-5.2 degrees. Preoperative MRI showed 5 cases of medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury, 3 cases of posterolateral complex (PLC) complex injury, 2 cases of PLC+ posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury and 10 cases of menisci injury. The change of tibial plateau posterior slope angle was more than 10 degrees in patients with ligament injury, 5 patients had a tibial plateau posterior slope angle change more than 15 degrees, 5 patients had a tibial plateau posterior slope angle change more than 10 degrees, and the patients with a tibial plateau posterior slope angle change less than 10 degrees had no ligament injury; 6 patients with simple lateral column or medial column fracture had a ligament injury, 2 patients with medial column+lateral column fracture had a ligament injury, and 2 patients with three column fracture had a ligament injury.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-24 months, with an average of 16.4 months. The operation time was 124±33 min (65-180 min), and the bleeding volume was 106±48 ml (20-200 ml). All patients were treated by open reduction and internal fixation. According to the characteristics of fracture, targeted reduction of articular surface and restoration of lower limb force line were carried out. The plate was placed on the anterior part of tibial plateau to fix the fracture fragment. Evaluation of postoperative fracture reduction: 20 cases were anatomic reduction, 5 cases were good reduction (between 2-5 mm articular surface collapse), and the excellent rate of fracture reduction was 100%. Internal fixation: 4 cases were treated with simple lateral plate, 2 cases with simple medial plate, 15 cases with medial+ lateral plate, 1 case with medial plate+ lateral anchor suture, 1 case with medial plate+ posterior screw, 1 case with lateral plate+ fibular screw, 1 case with medial plate + lateral plate+ lateral anchor suture. The meniscus was repaired in 8 patients, including 5 medial and 3 laterals. The fracture healing time was 3-6 months (mean 3.3 months). The postoperative knee Rasmussen score was 24.9±3.5 (18-29), and the postoperative knee joint mobility was 118°±9° (90°-130°). Superficial infection occurred in 2 patients.Conclusion:The main imaging characteristic of "non-dislocated hyperextension tibial plateau fracture" is the change of tibial plateau posterior slope angle. The injury of single anteromedial column/anterolateral column fracture is easy to combine with the "diagonal" injury, and when the tibial plateau posterior slope angle changes more than 10 degrees, it is easy to be associated with peripheral ligament injury. By using open reduction and internal fixation, restoring the joint articular surface and lower limb force line, repairing the soft tissue structure and ligament, and reconstructing the stability of knee joint, we can achieve satisfactory results.
