Objective To investigate the relationship between clinical types and related risk factors in female patients with post-adolescent acne.Methods Female outpatients with post-adolescent acne aged more than 25 years were enrolled from Department of Dermatology of Renji Hospital between January and October 2016.A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate related risk factors for post-adolescent acne in the females.Skin lesions and clinical types were evaluated by dermatologists.Statistical analysis was carried out by t test for comparison of means between two groups and by chi-square test for comparison of ratios.Results A total of 312 female patients with post-adolescent acne completed the survey,including 268 (85.9%) with mild to moderate acne and 44 (14.1%) with severe acne,241 (77.2%) with persistent acne and 71 (22.8%) with late-onset acne,or 102 (32.7%) with comedonal post-adolescent acne (CPAA) and 210 (67.3%) with papular post-adolescent acne (PPAA).Survey on related risk factors showed that 121 patients reported seasonal factors and 59 (18.9%) patients became worse in summer,and spicy,sweet and fried foods can aggravate the condition in 131 (42%),93 (29.8%) and 85 (27.2%) patients respectively.Other risk factors such as premenstrual period (62.8%,196/312),psychological factors (51.6%,161/312) and exogenous chemical exposures (43.6%,136/312) were complained of by the patients.Furthermore,premenstrual period,diet and constipation were found to be more associated with PPAA compared with CPAA (x2 =4.523,4.068,3.910,respectively,all P < 0.05).Exogenous chemical exposures,such as the use of cosmetics,exposure to polluted air environment and occupational hazards,were more associated with CPAA compared with PPAA,as well as with late-onset acne compared with persistent acne (x2 =6.579,9.057,both P < 0.05).In addition,premenstrual exacerbation occurred more frequently in patients with persistent acne compared with those with late-onset ache (x2 =4.512,P < 0.05).Conclusions The risk factors for the occurrence of female post-adolescent acne are very complex.Premenstrual exacerbation plays a major role in the aggravation of papular and persistent post-adolescent acne,diet and constipation are more associated with PPAA,and exogenous chemical exposures are still be considered in the aggravation of comedonal and late-onset post-adolescent acne.Thus,clinical types should be considered in the diagnosis and treatment of post-adolescent acne in females.

Objective:To study the effectiveness and safety of PD-1(programmed cell death protein-1,PD-1)inhibitors for the treatment of patients with advanced cancer in real-world in a Chinese cohort. Methods:Data of patients with advanced cancer who were admitted to the Department of Oncology,Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine between May 2018 and September 2019 and received PD-1 inhibitor alone orcombined with otheranti-cancer therapies were collected.The clinical characteristics,therapeutic efficacy and adverse events were analyzed retrospectively. Results:A total of 75 patients with advanced cancer were included in this study.The cohort consisted of 53 males and 22 females with an average age of 60 years,among whom 60 patients had metastasis.Lung cancer(27 cases)and gastric cancer(12 cases)accounted for the largest proportion.Other cancer types included cancers of the digestive system(colorectal,liver,pancreatic,esophageal,and bile duct cancer),urinary system(kidney,pelvis,ureter,and bladder cancer)and female reproductive system(breast,cervical,and ovarian cancer),malignant melanoma,and head and neck cancer(nasopharyngeal and laryngeal cancer).Among all the patients studied,55 patients(73.3%)received PD-1 inhibitors as first-line and(or)second-line therapy,and 62 patients(82.7%)received PD-1 inhibitors in combination with other anti-cancer therapies.The objective response rate was 1 4.5%,disease control rate was 65.2%,the median progression-free survival was 6.1 months[95%confidence interval(C/):4.356-7.844],and the median overall survival was 1 8.0 months(95%CI:9.565-26.435).Adverse events,mainly grade 1 or grade 2,accured in 5 5 patients.The progression-free survival was 6.3 months in patients treated with PD-1 inhibitors as first-line and(or)second-line therapy,significantly longer than the 3.0-month-long progression-free survival of the patients treated with PD-1 inhibitors as third-line or multiline therapy[hazard ratio(HR)=0.492,95%Cl:0.244-0.992,P=0.048]. Conclusions:Immunotherapy with PD-1 inhibitors was effective and safe for patients with advanced cancer in real-world,especially in those who received PD-1 inhibitor treatment as first-or second-line therapy.

Morita therapy has been bom for more than 100 years.Inpatient Morita therapy is highly oper-able and easy to master.It can improve many refractory neuroses through four-stage treatment.But more neuroses are treated in outpatient clinics,and Morita therapy cannot be used in hospitalized patients.Therefore,the formula-tion of expert opinions on outpatient operations is particularly important.This paper is based on domestic and for-eign references,and after many discussions by domestic Morita therapy experts,and then drew up the first version of the expert opinions on operation of outpatient Morita therapy.Meanwhile the operation rule of Morita therapy in three stages of outpatient treatment was formulated:in the etiological analysis stage,under the theoretical guidance of Morita therapy,analyze the pathogenic factors,to improve treatment compliance and reduce resistance;during the operating stage,guide patients to engage in constructive and meaningful actions,realizing the achievement of letting nature take its course principle;in the cultivating character and enriching life stage,pay attention to positive infor-mation,expanding the scope and content of actions,improving the ability to adapt to complex life,and preventing recurrence caused by insufficient abilities.It will lay a foundation for the promotion of Morita therapy in domestic outpatient clinics,so that more patients with neurosis and other psychological diseases could receive characteristic Morita therapy treatment in outpatient clinics.

ObjectiveTo assess the level of internal exposure to PCP in a community population in Shanghai, to investigate the factors affecting the level of PCP, and to analyze the correlation between the exposure and thyroid hormone levels. MethodsA total of 464 residents of a community in Shanghai were selected as the study subjects. A questionnaire survey was conducted to obtain the demographic information, dietary situation, lifestyle and behavioral habits, and disease history of the individuals, and blood samples were collected. Gas chromatography-electron trap was applied to determine the PCP levels in serum. Multicategorical logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the possible influencing factors of PCP exposure in humans. Thyroid hormone levels were used as the dependent variable and serum PCP as the independent variable. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to assess the association between PCP and thyroid hormones in the community population after controlling the confounding factors such as age, gender, literacy, annual personal income, and chronic diseases. ResultsThe detection rate of serum PCP in 464 subjects was 90.3%, and the median serum PCP level was 0.43 μg·L-1. The differences in PCP levels among different age groups were statistically significant. There were no significant differences in PCP levels among different gender and BMI groups. The study of PCP exposure factors showed that age, frequency of using plastic products, consumption of freshwater fish, type of occupation, annual income, and consumption of tea or coffee were the potential influencing factors for PCP exposure. Among them, age, frequency of using plastic products, consumption of tea or coffee, and consumption of freshwater fish were positively associated with PCP levels, and annual personal income was negatively associated with it. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that among men, PCP levels were positively correlated with TSH (b=0.105, 95%CI:0.017‒0.313) and negatively correlated with FT4 (b=-0.026, 95%CI:-0.057‒0.004), and among women, PCP levels were positively correlated with TSH (b=0.092, 95%CI:-0.211‒0.904) and FT3 (b=0.017, 95%CI:-0.058‒0.230) and negatively correlated with FT4 (b=-0.013, 95%CI:-0.011‒0.037). ConclusionSerum PCP detection is common among community residents in Shanghai. Different demographic characteristics or behavioral habits may increase or decrease PCP exposure. PCP exposure then affects human thyroid hormone levels.
