Objective:To compare the efficacy and adverse reactions between intralesional betamethasone injection combined with botulinum toxin type A and topical hyaluronic acid and simple intralesional betamethasone injection and topical hyaluronic acid in treatment of keloid.Methods:A total of 58 patients with keloid were divided into two groups: intralesional betamethasone injection combined with botulinum toxin type A and topical hyaluronic acid group (combined group, n=28) and intralesional betamethasone injection combined with topical hyaluronic acid group (control group, n=30).In both two groups, the intralesional betamethasone injection was given once every 4 weeks for 3 times totally, and topical hyaluronic acid was applied every day.In combined group, an injection of botulinum toxin type A was given around the lesion after the first intralesional injection of betamethasone.The parameters for therapeutic efficacy and adverse reactions of the patients in two groups were recorded, and the clinical pictures were taken before and after each treatment, and they were analyzed and compared.Results:After 3 treatments, compared with control group, the lesion appearance in combined group was improved.In control group, the VAS value was reduced at 1 month, but was increased gradually at 2 and 3 months. In combined group, the VAS value was reduced gradually in 3 months. There was a significant difference in VAS value at 2 and 3 months between two groups (P<0.05).In combined group, the thickness of keloids were reduced gradually in 3 months, while the reduction was not obvious in control group (P<0.05).The recurrence of pain, itching and lesion height were observed 2 weeks after each treatment in control group, but there was no recurrence in combined group.The incidence rate of adverse reactions was 26.7% in control group, which had no significant difference compared with combined group(25.0%) (P>0.05).Conclusion:Compared with control group, the combined group shows better efficiency in the treatment of keloid and there is no increase of adverse reactions.The therapy is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To confirm the protective effect of berberine (BBR) on cold ischemia reperfusion (I/R)-induced liver injury and to show whether the hepatic protection conferred by BBR involves the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) / protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR) signal pathway.Method Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned randomly to four groups:BBR group (BBR was intragastrically administered at a dose of 100 mg·kg-1 · d-1 2 weeks before hepatic cold I/R treatment),dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) group (BBR was replaced by DMSO,and others were the same as BBR group),I/R group (BBR was replaced by normal saline,and others were the same as BBR group) and sham group (normal saline was administered 2 weeks before opening and closing abdomen treatment).Then the rats were sacrificed at 3,6,and 24 h after reperfusion.The liver function,oxidative stress level,apoptosis rate,and the expression of PI3K/Akt/mTOR related pathway proteins were assayed.Result As compared with sham group,the I/R-induced liver tissue displayed severe lobular distortion with widespread necrosis,high level of oxidative stress and apoptosis rate.As compared with I/R group,BBR dramatically attenuated the histopathologic damage,restored the liver function and decreased the oxidative stress level.Simultaneously,BBR significantly ameliorated the apoptosis by decreasing the apoptosis rate,increasing the Bcl-2/Bax ratio and inhibiting caspase-3 activity in rats subjected to hepatic I/R.The expression of p-Akt was effectively upregulated with the inhibited expression of p-mTOR.Conclusion Our result provides robust in vivo evidence that BBR can prevent I/R-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis.The mechanisms involved can be attributed to the activation of P]3K/Akt/mTOR signal pathway.

Objective:To investigate the efficiency of maternal serum triple screening for the genetic abnormality in second-trimester and the morbidity of adverse pregnancy outcome in false positive results of the test. Methods: A total of 4 680 pregnant women with singleton pregnancies assigned in Obs & Gyn Hospital, Fudan University, underwent triple screening test (alpha fetoprotein, AFP; human chorionic gonadotropin, HCG and unconjugated estriol, uE3) by fluorescence enzyme immunoassay between 2003 and 2005. The valid MoM (Multiples of Median) value of mid-trimester serum AFP, uE3, and hCG and risk assessments was provided by Beckman Coulter Co. When applied in the prenatal Down syndrome screening service. The study compares the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities with Down syndrome in screen positive women and compares to the MoM value established in the literature. The risks of having a fetus with congenital abnormalities or of developing obstetric complications in the screen positive women with their matched controls.Results:The MoM values for the triple tests of our study are similar to established values of literature. Only 51.01% women with pregnancies agree to receive screening. Amniocentesis utilization rate was 55.12% in the screen-positive pregnancies. The false positive rate was 6.89% and the median of maternal age of the women was 28.13 (range 19 to 49) years old. Chromosomal abnormalities were identified in 21 pregnancies, including 9 cases of trisomy 21.The detection rate was 77.77%. Pregnancies with positive screening results had a significantly higher risk of adverse outcomes than those with negative results (P< 0.05). Whereas there was no difference in the incidences of fetal congenital appearance or skeleton abnormality. Conclusion: Adjusting MoM values of local unaffected populations is limited to increasing the detection rate. Because chromosomal defects have variable exhibitions, amniocentesis utilization is still a choice for screen-positive pregnancies. Screen-positive pregnancies had increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities.
