Objective To investigate the efficacy of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) antagonists therapy and the possible eauses of new onset or exacerbation of psoriatic skin lesion in patients with arthritides treated with TNF-α atagonists therapy. Methods One patient with definite psoriatie arthritis and one patient with definite ankylosing spondylitis, who were treated with TNF-α antagonist therapy developed an unexpected exacerbation or new onset of psoriatic skin lesion, were investigated in this study. Furthermore, the literatures associated with psoriasis induced by anti-TNF-α therapy were reviewed. Results The patient with psoriatic arthritis experienced exacerbation of psoriatic skin lesion and the skin lesions subsided after discontinuation ofetanereept therapy. The skin lesions recurred with re-introduction of etanereept, which improved after withd-rawal of etanercept therapy. The patient with ankylosing spondylitis unexpectedly developed psoriasis vulgaris after receiving etanercept therapy. The skin lesion waxed and waned followed the administration or discon-tinuation of etanercept therapy. The same settings were reported in patients with rheumatoid arthritis receiving different types of anti-TNF-α therapy. Conclusion Blockage of TNF-α is highly effective in arthritides. Ho-wever, some patients with arthritides can unexpectedly develop either a new onset or exacerbation of psoriatic skin lesions after initiation of TNF-α antagonist therapy. The skin lesions subside after discontinuation of the TNF-α antagonist therapy, but the causes remain unclear.

Objective To investigate the effects of different upper limb abduction angles on the occurrence of malposition of PICC into internal jugular vein. Methods Totally 210 cases of patients treated with PICCs for unilateral breast cancer of our hospital from August,2015 to January,2017 were randomly assigned to three groups with 70 cases in each group. The abduction angle of the upper limb for placement was set at 45° ,90° and 160° , respectively. We chose the basilic vein of the uninfected arm using modified Seldinger technique under the guidance of ultrasound for PICC,and malposition was confirmed by detecting the tip of PICC in internal jugular vein. Results The incidence rate of internal jugular venous dislocation in 45° group was 7.14%(5 cases) and 8.57% in 90° group (6 cases),and no internal jugular venous dislocation in 160° group. There was no statistically significant difference among 45°,90° and 160° groups(χ2=5.95,P>0.05). Significant differences of group comparisons for 45° v.s. 160° and 160° v.s. 90° were found (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between 45° and 90° groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Abduction angles of 45° ,90° and 160° can all be used for PICC placement. The abduction angle can be selected according to specific situation of patients instead of being limited to the standard abduction angle of 90°.

OBJECTIVE To determine the value of acidic electrolyzed oxidizing water (EOW) for disinfecting endoscopes in the children's hospitals. METHODS The detection methods of field sampling were used for monitoring the effect of EOW disinfection. Washed after-use endoscopes were disinfected by EOW for 3-5min. Bacteriological tests on samples of pre-and post-disinfection made for 30 samples of laryngoscopes,30 examples of gastroscopes and 16 samples of enteroscopes,which were selected randomly. RESULTS Through EOW disinfection,the bacteria were not found on the laryngoscopes. The total number of bacteria on digestive endoscopes was conformed to the Standards of Disinfection Techniques and no pathogenic bacteria were detected. CONCLUSIONS Applying EOW to disinfection of endoscopes for clinical purpose can fulfill the State Standards completely. EOW has strongly germicidal activity,also with characteristic aslo act rapidly,securely and environment friendly,and without any irritant odor. These rusults indicate a widely potential use of EOW as in children's hospitals,especially,with a positive significance in health care of pediatric patients.
