BACKGROUND: The erythemal response of the skin to UVB radiation is used as a diagnostic phototest and guideline to phototherapy. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the UVB-induced MEDs to the back, arm, and thigh skin METHODS: A sunlight fluorescenct lamp(Waldmann UV 7001K) was used as a UVB radiation source. The back, arm, and thigh skin were irradiated with the dose, from 40mJ/cm2 to 180mJ/cm2. The minimal doses for erythema responses to the skin were assessed visually at 24 hours after irradiation. RESULTS: MEDs of the back, arm and thigh skin were 92.6 +/- 17.3mJ/cm2(mean +/- S.D.), 123.0 +/- 24.2mJ/cm2, and 126.6+/- 28.3mJ/cm2, respectively. The most frequent MED was 100mJ/cm2 for the back skin and 120mJ/cm' for the arm skin and thigh skin. CONCLUSION: In this study, UVB-induced MEDs to the back, arm, and thigh skin in young adult Koreans were assessed. A significant difference in the MED was found between the back and extremities skin, with a lower value for the back skin(92.6 +/- 17.3mJ/cm2) than for the arm skin(123.0 +/- 24.2mJ/cm2) or for the thigh skin(126.6 +/- 28.3mJ/cm2).

PURPOSE: The purpose of our study was to characterize the enhancing patterns of hepatic metastasis from gastric adenocarinoma using multi-phase incremental bolus dynamic CT with obtained both in early and late phase contrast scan and to evaluate the its advantages. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Of 33 cases of multi-phase incremental bolus dynamic CT with proved hepatic~metastasis from gastric adenocarinoma, we classified dynamic enhancement patterns as three types according to early phase contrast enhancement, and then analized the late phase contrast enhancement, more metastasis detection, segmental abnormal arterial perfusions and correlation between pathologic type. RESULTS: Type I (totally hypodense lesion) was in 18 patients(55%), type II (peripheral high density area) was seen in 13 patients (39%), and type III (near totally hyperdense lesion) was seen in two patients(6%). But in late phase, masses showed totally hypodense area in 26 patients(79%), central high with peripheral low density area(PLDA) in six patients(18%) and totally isodense in one patient(3%). More metastatic masses were detected with early phase in 11 patients(33%) as compared with late phase contrast. Segmental arterial hyperperfusion around the lesions, which could represent intrahepatic portal branch invasion, was seen in 10 patients(30%). There was no correlation between pathologic type and enhancement pattern of lesions. CONCLUSION: Multi-phase incremental bolus dynamic CT could represent variable hemodynamic changes of hepatic metastatic masses and was useful to evaluate the qualitative and quantitative analysis of hepatic metastases.

Objective:To analyze dermoscopic and reflectance confocal microscopic characteristics of acanthosis nigricans, and to assess the value of dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) in the auxiliary diagnosis of acanthosis nigricans.Methods:A total of 63 patients with acanthosis nigricans were collected from Department of Dermatology, the Third People′s Hospital of Hangzhou from January 2018 to December 2019, and 5 healthy individuals served as controls. Two lesions on the neck and axilla were examined with dermoscopy and RCM separately in each patient. Biopsies were carried out at the sites evaluated by dermoscopy and RCM in 3 patients, followed by routine histopathological examination.Results:Dermoscopy showed papilloma-like hyperplasia in 126 (100%) lesions, "fat finger" structures in 119 (94.4%) , and "gully" structures in 120 (95.2%) . RCM showed hyperpigmentation in the basal layers, downward extension and twisting of dermal papillary rings and "gully" structures in 126 (100%) lesions, moderately to highly refractive particles in the dermal papillary rings in 87 (69.0%) .Conclusion:Acanthosis nigricans has typical dermoscopic and reflectance confocal microscopic characteristics, which can provide a basis for its diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

BACKGROUND:The finite element analysis used to study the biomechanical properties of foot structure contributes to overcome the disadvantages of traditional mechanical analysis of specimens. OBJECTIVE:To summarize some representative finite element models of the foot and review the establishment methods of finite element models of the foot with biomechanical properties. METHODS:A computer-based online search was conducted in CNKI, Wanfang and PubMed databases by using the key words of“finite element model, biomechanic, foot structure”from 1999 to 2015. The language was limited to both Chinese and English. Establishment methods of finite element models of the foot structure containing obtaining of model establishment data, establishment of solid model, setting methods of properties of model materials. The application of finite element analysis of the foot structure in sports biomechanics and medical orthotics was summarized to point the characteristics and disadvantages of finite element analysis application in biomechanics. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:An increasing number of studies on foot biomechanics provide the platform for finite element analysis of the foot applied in biomechanical analysis. Many key technologies, including self-adaption image segmentation method, hexahedron grid product method and establishment of finite element models with various materials have to be utilized to converse the medical images into digital models of finite element analysis during establishment of finite element models. Results of model establishment may be affected by limitation conditions, accuracy of image col ection, calculation results of finite element analysis. The reliability of finite element models can be increased by modify technologies and verification methods.

Objective To evaluate the effects of ischemic postconditioning on nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression during lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in a dog model of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and further investigate the pulmonary protection induced by ischemic postconditioning and the underlying mechanism.Methods Twelve adult mongrel dogs of both sexes, weighing 12-15 kg, were randomly divided into either CPB group or ischemic postconditioning group (IPO group) using a random number table, with 6 dogs in each group.CPB was established after the chest was opened in dogs anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium.Ischemic postconditioning was induced by 2 cycles of 5 min reperfusion followed by 5 min ischemia immediately after occlusion of the left pulmonary artery was released in group IPO.Before CPB (T1), before occlusion of the artery was released (T2) , and at 2 h after termination of CPB, lung specimens were obtained for examination of pathological changes which were scored (with light microscope) and for determination of the expression of NFκB and ICAM-1 (using Western blot) and wet/dry lung weight ratio (W/D ratio) in left lung tissues.Blood samples were collected from femoral arteries at T1 and T3 for blood gas analysis, and oxygenation index (OI), respiration index (RI) and dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn) were calculated.Results OI and Cdyn were significantly decreased, and RI was increased at T3 , and W/D ratio, pathological scores, and expression of NF-κB and ICAM-1 were increased at T2,3 than at T1 in the two groups.W/D ratio, pathological scores, and expression of NF-κB and ICAM-1 were significantly higher at T3 than at T2 in the two groups.Compared with group CPB, OI and Cdyn were significantly increased, and R1, W/D ratio, pathological scores, and expression of NF-κB and ICAM-1 were decreased at T3 in group IPO.Conclusion Ischemic postconditioning up-regulates the expression of ICAM-1 through inhibiting NF-κB activity, thus reducing lung I/R injury induced by CPB and improving the lung function in dogs.
