Objective To study the topical application of Tuhuai decoction and its disassembled prescriptions on skin function of mice with epidermal hyperplasia, and to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of psoriasis. Methods According to the Denda method, skin barrier function in mice was destructed with tape, to produce epidermal hyperplasia model. Tuhuai decoction and its disassembled prescriptions with different concentrations of water and alcohol extracts were external applied on the mice. Since the beginning of the treatment, loss of skin moisture of both sides the trunk was detected with Multi-functional instrument at every day before using the medicine. Results Tuhuai decoction had function of reducing the amount of water loss of skin. The disassembled prescriptions, such as Angelica group, safflower group, Danshen root group, and water and ethanol extracts of Prtmella group can reduce the amount of water loss of skin effect. Conclusion Water and ethanol extracts of Tuhuai decoction has the functions of reducing water loss of skin and resisting hyperplasia,suitable for treating psoriasis by external application, setting a foundation for clinical treatment of psoriasis.

Objective To investigate the expression of CD133 and CD44 proteins in gastric stromal tumors (GST) and their clinical significances. Methods The expression of CD44 and CD133 proteins in the GST tissues of 112 patients was detected by immunohistochemical staining. The relation between the expression of CD44 and CD133 proteins and the clinicopathological characters was analyzed. The survival and prognosis of GST were also analyzed. Results Both CD44 and CD133 were expressed on the cell membranes. The expression rates of CD44 and CD133 were 58.04 % (65/112) and 42.86 % (48/112) separately; the co-expression rate of CD44 and CD133 was 27.68 % (31/112). CD44 and CD133 were negative in normal peritumoral tissues. No correlation was found between CD44 and CD133 and the clinicopathological parameters including gender, age and lymphatic vessel invasion (all P>0.05), but the expression levels of CD44 and CD133 in patients with the mitotic count ≥ 5/50 high-power field, large diameter and vascular invasion were significantly higher (all P<0.05). No correlation was found between co-expression of CD44 and CD133 and the clinical clinicopathological parameters including gender, age, the mitotic count ≥ 5/50 high-power field and vascular invasion (all P>0.05), but the co-expression level of CD44 and CD133 in patients with tumor diameter ≥5 cm was significantly higher than that in patients with tumor diameter < 5 cm (χ2=5.040, P=0.025). The overall survival rate of the patients with co-expression of CD44 and CD133 was shorter than that in other groups (χ2 = 8.758, P= 0.001). No correlation was found between CD44 and CD133 expression (r=0.126, P=0.210). Multivariate analysis with the Cox regression models showed that the tumor diameter ≥5 cm (P=0.042) and co-expression of CD44 and CD133 (P=0.003) were significantly associated with poor prognosis. Conclusion CD44 and CD133 as robust cancer stem cell markers in GST might be the prognostic factors.

1), attributable risk (AR)=13.33%; ⑤Even though the serum specimens were taken from PB patients, the Ab of majouity of patients converted to positive when relapse occurred. In the majority of patients relapsed the levels of IgM-AbL tended to be increasing or pesistently positive. Usually relapse occurred 1-2 years after IgM-AbL was converted to positive. Relapse occurred 11-30 years after the patients were cured. In very rare case downgrading(from tuberculous to borderline leprosy) occurred. ⑥The levels of IgM-AbL gradually decreased in all relapsed patients after effective treatment except one case whose IgM-AbL was persistently positive. Conclusions The above results indicate that the ND-ELISA might be useful in screening early M.leprae infection and in predicting and monitoring the relapse of leprosy, especially in multibacillary patients.

Objective The mechanism of traditional double-eyelid blepharoplasty is adhering skin to tarsus,by which the skin below the incision could be elevated along with the tarsus and produce the crease.But the anatomic basis of native double-eyelids is not the same,which depends on the connection of levator aponeuroses with muscle and skin.That is,the elevations of tarsus and skin is based on the different branches of levator aponeuroses to skin.According to this,the authors have developed a modified blepharoplasty suturing levator aponeuroses to the obicularis occuli muscle to mimic the native double eyelid.Methods The surgical procedures were modified from traditional surgery.The major improvements were:keeping obicularis occuli muscles intact,dissecting the levator aponeuroses and suturing them together.Since the suturing was performed between mobilized tissues of muscle and aponeurosis,the method was named as "flexible suspension technique".Five-hundred patients were performed with this method.Forty cases randomly selected from them were compared with 40 cases performed with traditional method,and the results were investigated using questionnaire survey.Results The results of the modified surgery were more natural than traditional technique.Majority of patients were satisfactory,whereas 15 cases (3%) had asymmetry,narrowing and even fold loss.All these 15 cases were puffy eyelids.Statistical results indicated that the satisfaction rate was significantly high (P =0.003),and the adverse effects (edema,bruise and scar) were significantly lighter than traditional technique;whereas the asymmetry and fold loss were higher than traditional technique.Conclusions The flexible suspension technique of blepharoplasty can obtain more natural double eyelid appearance,and is suitable for primary blepharoplasty but not applicable for severe puffy eyelids.

Objective:
To explore the efficacy and safety of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells in the treatment of central nervous system leukemia (CNSL).
Methods:
Two leukemia patients with CNSL were treated with CD19-CAR-T cells. The process and results of the entire treatment is reported and related literature review is conducted.
Results:
The patients were diagnosed as acute myeloid leukemia (AML)-M2 with B lymphoid antigen expression and B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia(B-ALL) by morphology and immunophenotype assay. The immunophenotype was consistent with the abnormal manifestations of AML-M2 and B-ALL. Their clinical manifestations and laboratory tests met the diagnostic criteria of CNSL. The diagnosis was clear and the two patients were treated with CD19-CAR-T cell immunotherapy. Central nervous system symptoms were relieved. The imaging abnormalities of patient one has disappeared but cytokines release syndrome (CRS) occurred during the treatment. Cerebrospinal fluid of patient two was negative and no obvious CRS reaction was found.
Conclusions
CAR-T cell immunotherapy is likely to induce the remission of CNSL and improve the prognosis.

The combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy motivates a potent immune system by triggering immunogenic cell death (ICD), showing great potential in inhibiting tumor growth and improving the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITM). However, the therapeutic effectiveness has been restricted by inferior drug bioavailability. Herein, we reported a universal bioresponsive doxorubicin (DOX)-based nanogel to achieve tumor-specific co-delivery of drugs. DOX-based mannose nanogels (DM NGs) was designed and choosed as an example to elucidate the mechanism of combined chemo-immunotherapy. As expected, the DM NGs exhibited prominent micellar stability, selective drug release and prolonged survival time, benefited from the enhanced tumor permeability and prolonged blood circulation. We discovered that the DOX delivered by DM NGs could induce powerful anti-tumor immune response facilitated by promoting ICD. Meanwhile, the released mannose from DM NGs was proved as a powerful and synergetic treatment for breast cancer in vitro and in vivo, via damaging the glucose metabolism in glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Overall, the regulation of tumor microenvironment with DOX-based nanogel is expected to be an effectual candidate strategy to overcome the current limitations of ICD-based immunotherapy, offering a paradigm for the exploitation of immunomodulatory nanomedicines.
