Objective There is a significant increase of squamous cell carcinoma antigen ( SCCA) in patients with common skin diseases .The aim of this study was to investigate the difference expression of serum SCCA in patients with common skin diseases . Methods A total of 497 patients with 14 kinds of common skin diseases from the Department of Dermatology were recruited , and the serum SCCA was measured . Results The positive rates of SCCA in 116 patients with psoriasis and 37 patients with erythroderma were 90 .5% and 100%, respectively .The common skin diseases with positive rate of SCCA greater than 60% includes eczema (61.7%), generalized dermatitis (65.1%),pemphigus (61.1%), bullous pemphigoid (62.2%).The SCCA values in pustulosa (1.76 ±1.22 ng/mL) and arthropathica psoriasis (1.69 ±1.05 ng/mL) were decreased compared with pustular (2.86 ±1.46 ng/mL) and arthropathica psoriasis (3.56 ±1.84 ng/mL) (P<0.05). Conclusion The SCCA value may have a relationship with the increase of the performance of keratinization and desquamation in the skin diseases , and it could be used as a valuable indicator for the diagnosis and treatment in patients with cutaneous diseases .

Objective To investigate the efficacy of acupoint injection of Astragalus on contents of SOD,HYP and MDA in skin of aging mice in-duced by D-galactose. Methods The mice were randomly divided into normal group,model group,Astragalus group,and saline group(n=15). Except for the normal control group,the mice of other groups were treated with continuous subcutaneous injection of D-galactose to establish mice ag-ing model. The Astragalus group mice was injected with 0.01mL Astragalus in Sanzuli acupoint per day,The saline group mice received an injection of same amount of saline. SOD,HYP and MDA changes in the skin tissue and serum were evaluated after 21 days. Results All the index in the skin tissue and serum showed significant difference(P<0.01)between model group mice and normal control group. Compared with model group,SOD activity and MDA content in the skin tissue and serum of the Astragalus group mice were significantly raised,HYP content was significantly reduced (P<0.01). There also were significant differences of these index between the saline group mice and the model group(P<0.05),but the effect was not as good as the Astragalus group mice. Conclusion Acupoint Injection of Astragalus can prevent and protect against skin aging induced by D-galactose.

PurposeSpinal cord is one of the most frequently involved sites of multiple sclerosis (MS), which seriously affects the life quality of patients. In this paper, we investigate the application value of voxel-based morphology (VBM) and resting-state magnetic resonance imaging (RS-fMRI) in multiple sclerosis patients with single spinal cord involvement (MS-SSCI).Materials and Methods Three-dimensional T1WI data and RS-fMRI data were acquired from 20 patients with MS-SSCI and 20 normal controls, grey matter volume (GMV), changes of white matter volume (WMV), total intracranial volume (TIV) and local nuclei volume were compared between the two groups using VBM, posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) was regarded as the seed point and the functional connectivity about whole brain was compared between the two groups by using resting-state functional connectivity analysis, the relationships between MS-SSCI structure, function change parameters and expanded disability states scale (EDSS) scores were further explored.Results①Compared with the control group, GMV, WMV, TIV of MS-SSCI group were not significantly reduced, only the volume of some regions (bilateral middle temporal gyrus, left inferior temporal gyrus) showed significant atrophy (P<0.01); MS-SSCI exhibited increased functional connectivity (FC) in the left medial prefrontal cortex, left inferior temporal gyrus, left caudate nucleus and right supplementary motor area (two-sample t test, after AlphaSim correction,P<0.01, voxel size >40).②There was no significant correlation (P>0.05) between MS-SSCI structure change parameters and EDSS; while a significant correlation between EDSS scores and FC was noted in the left inferior temporal gyrus (r=0.633,P<0.05).Conclusion Both structural abnormalities and altered FC with PCC can be detected in MS-SSCI, but only functional parameters are associated with clinical abnormalities, which are more sensitive than microstructural changes.

Objective To study the sensitivity and specificity of the Chinese eating assessment tool (EAT-10) in screening acute stroke patients for oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD).Methods A total of 130 inpatients with acute stroke were screened using the Chinese EAT-10.On the same day they were also screened using the gold standard technique for diagnosing dysphasia-videofluoroscopy.A receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was developed to study EAT-10's sensitivity and specificity.A Youden index,positive predictive value (PPV),negative predictive value (NPV),and positive and negative likelihood ratios (LHR+ and LHR) were quantified.Results According to the ROC curve,a cut-off point of 1 (EAT-10 score≥ 1) gave the best sensitivity (77.9％),the highest NPV (73.2％),with 66.1％ specificity,71.6％ PPV,2.30 LHR+ and 0.33 LHR in screening for OD.The test-retest reliability was above 0.7.An investigator consistency reliability test showed good repeatability,and the consistency between each item and the mean total score was high.Conclusion The Chinese EAT-10 has good test-retest reliability and investigator consistency.The optimal cut-off point is 1,with good sensitivity and NPV at scores ≥ 1.The test can be recommended as a screening tool for OD in acute stroke patients.

Cordyceps sinensis is an expensive and tonic-valuable famous herb in China. Due to a narrow growing distribution, a low parasitic rate and a harsh living environmental condition, its wild recourse is not abundant. In re-cent years, with the improvement of living standards, people’s awareness of health care has increased strongly. That is because of people’s over-excavation need;and the natural resources are becoming increasing scarcity. In order to meet the demand for Cordyceps, domestic researchers conducted vigorous studies. Since 1987, four or five cul-tured Cordyceps species have been developed, namely fermented Cordyceps sinensis. Through subsequent unceasing research, they were put into a lot of production, bringing a certain benefits for income and society. Currently, there are four commercial brands on the market. They are Bailing, Jinshuibao, Xinganbao and Ningxinbao. This paper summarized the studies of its chemical compositions and clinical applications on fermented Cordyceps militaris in the recent five years. It will let scholars understand its value of the cultured Cordyceps militaris more comprehen-sively and supply more information for scholars in its further research.
