According to the age of onset, childhood acne can be divided into neonatal acne, infantile acne, preschool acne, and prepubertal acne. Neonatal acne and infantile acne can serve as predictive factors for severe adolescent acne, preschool acne may be related to underlying endocrine diseases, and prepubertal acne is a sign of pubertal maturation. The treatment of childhood acne is similar to that of adolescent acne, and adverse effects of drugs and their impact on the growth and development of children should be considered.

ObjectiveTo observe the curative effect of alprostadil combined with cilostazol in treatment of patients with lower limb atherosclerosis.MethodsSixty-two patients with lower limb atherosclerosis were divided into cilostazol group (cilostazol 100 mg,2 times a day,oral) and therapeutic alliance group (cilostazol 100 mg,2 times a day,oral; alprostadil 10 μ g dissolved in 100 ml intravenous infusion of 0.9％ sodium chloride,once a day) by random number table with 31 cases each.The changes of ankle-brachial index (ABI),distance of 6-minute walk test(6-MWT) and the dorsal blood flow were compared before and after treatment.Results | After treatment,the distance of 6-MWT,ABI and the level of dorsal blood flow were significantly improved in two groups (P ＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01 ).Distance of 6-MWT and the level of dorsal blood flow in therapeutic alliance group was significantly higher than that in cilostazol group after treatment [(425.4±138.5) m vs.(379.5±124.6) m,(0.77±0.18) ml/ (s·cm2) vs.(0.66±0.14) ml/( s· cm2)] ( P＜0.05 ).The total effective rate in the treatment of cold feel in therapeutic alliance group was significantly higher than that in cilostazol group [ 87.5％(21/24) vs.61.9％( 13/21 ) ](P＜ 0.05).Conclusion Alprostadil combined with cilostazol is safe and effective in treating lower limb atherosclerosis.

Objective To study the effects of lidocaine on inflammatory mediators and myocardial enzymes in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB).Methods Twenty patients underging OPCAB were randomly divided into 2 groups of L and C with 10 cases each. After anesthesia induction, group L was given a bolus of lidocaine 2 mg/kg, which was followed by an infusion of lidocaine 2 mg·kg~(-1)·h~(-1) till the end of operation. Group C was given normal saline instead of lidocaine as the control. Blood samples were taken for the measurements of TNF-a, IL-8, SOD, MDA, cTnⅠ, CK-MB and MYO. The hemodynamics, early postoperative clinical informations and ICU and hospital stay were recorded. Results The increases of TNF-α and IL-8 were significiently less in group L than those in group C(P<0.01 or P<0.05). MDA at 24 h after operation was higher in group C than that in group L(P<0.05). The increases of CK-MB and cTnⅠ at 24 h and 48 h after operation were significiently less in group L than those in group C(P<0. 01 or P <0. 05). The ICU and hospital stays were shorter in group L than those in group C(P<0. 05). Conclusion Continuous infusion of lidocaine during OPCAB can decrease the inflammatory mediators and myocardial enzymes and protect the myocardium.

Drug addiction is a chronic relapsing brain disease. Repeated drug exposure can cause neuroadaptations in major brain circuitries,leading to compulsive drug consumption behav-ior and relapse after abstinence.Many studies have found that intercellular signaling cascades mediated central nervous system remodeling in the rewarding circuitry and addiction associated neuroplasticity of learning and memory are important molecular mechanism of drug addiction.Studies show that extracellular sig-nal-regulated kinase (ERK)is associated with drug-mediated psychomotor activity,rewarding properties and relapse of drug seeking behaviors.Therefore,this article has reviewed the role of ERK signaling pathway in drug addiction.Research on the role of ERK signaling pathway in drug addiction will provide im-portant theoretical foundation for in-depth understanding of the molecular mechanism of drug addiction and shine a light on new molecular targets and treatment strategies for drug addiction.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and the economic effectiveness of different therapeutic schemes for Chronic hepatitis UB.Methods Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B were treated by using different drugs:Interferon ?1b(group A),Lamivudine(group B),Interferon ?1b combination with Lamivudine(group C),Interferon ?1b combination with thymotentin(group D),Interferon ?1b combination with thymosin alphal(group E).Evaluation was carried out with pharmacoeconomic cost-effectiveness.Results At the end of therapy,the clearance rate of serum HbeAg was lowest in group B(10 94%),the other groups were more than 50%.The clearance rate of serum HBV-DNA was higher in group B and C than in the other groups,it was 85 94%,87 93% respectively.Normalizing ALT values was higher in group C,group D and group E than in group A and group B.The costs of several therapeutic schemes were RMB 8156 7(group A),6935(group B),15091 7(group C),26033 4(group D) and 89978 4(group E) yuans,respectively.Conclusions According to the evaluation with pharmacoeconomic cost-effectiveness analysis,the therapeutic scheme of Interferon ?1b,Lamivudine and Interferon ?1b combination with Lamivudine is best one for treating chronic hepatitsi B,in this groups,Interferon ?1b combination with Lamivudine was better than the other two groups.

Drug addiction is a chronic relapsing brain disease that is characterized by compulsive drug use and persistence of drug craving. Drug abuse can lead to changes in the neuron structure and function of plasticity,alterations in molecules and cells,and ultimately to individual abnormal behavior. Current studies have found that epigenetic changes leading to the sustainability of gene expression is an important mechanism of drug addiction. In this review,we will systematically summarize the latest advances in epigenetic mechanisms of drug addiction. This review is expected to provide robust evidence that repeated exposure to drugs of abuse induces changes within the brain′s reward regions in three major modes of epigenetic regulation-histone modifications such as acetylation and methylation , DNA methylation,and non-coding RNAs. It promises a new perspective from which to gain insights into the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of drug addiction and a new area for epigenetic research on clinical drug addiction treatment.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum and cord leptin levels in pregnancy induced hypertension(PIH) women and the significance. Methods Immunoradioassay was used to measure the serum and cord blood leptin levels in 50 PIH women (PIH group) and 80 normal pregnant women(normal group). The correlative analysis of the results was performed. Results (1) Serum leptin level in PIH women was (40.02?8.92)?g/L, notably higher than that (24.67?5.23) in normal pregnant women( P

Objective To compare the advantages and disadvantages of three methods of yeast-like fungi identification of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC).Methods The pathogenic candida strains were identified by CHROM agar chromogeinc culture medium,the chromogenic medium of Autobio and VITEK 2 system,and the result of VITEK 2 system was the gold standard.Results All candida strains were appraised.By VITEK2 system,217 candida isolates were identified as candida albicans,and 26 were detected as non-candida albicans.214 isolates were identified as candida albicans and 13 isolates were identified as non-candida albicans by Autobio.214 isolates were appraised as candida albicans,16 isolates were identified as non-candida albicans.The coincidence rate of identification of CHROMagar and the chromogenic medium of Autobio were 94.7％ and 95.06％.Compared with VITEK 2 system,there was no significant difference between these two chromogeinc culture medium identifying candida albicans and non-candida albicans.Conclusion The chromogenic medium of Autobio has higher cost-effectiveness,higher color discrimination and simpler technical operation,and is worthy of promotion in identifying candida species in clinic.
