Objective To obserVe the clinical efficacy and safety of yiqing caPsule in the treatment of acne with concomitant constiPation. Methods A randomized controlled method was used. One hundred and forty_fiVe Patients with acne and concomitant constiPation were randomized into treatment grouP (n=75) and control grouP (n=70). Patients in the treatment grouP receiVed yiqing caPsule orally and comPound tretinoin gel toPically, while Patients in the control grouP receiVed toPical comPound tretinoin gel only. Both grouPs were treated for 3 weeks. Results The theraPeutic effect of the treatment grouP was much better than that of control grouP (P<0. 01). No obVious adVerse reactions were obserVed in either grouP. In the treatment grouP,77.4%of Patients were relieVed from constiPation,the ratio being much higher than the control grouP (P<0.01). The chance of acne relief was remarkably higher in Patients whose constiPation were relieVed (P<0. 01). The SPearman correlation index between acne relief and constiPation imProVement was 0. 699 (P<0. 01). Conclusion Combination theraPy of yiqing caPsule and comPound tretinoin gel is effectiVe in the treatment of acne with no significant adVerse reactions. The constiPation imProVement from yiqing caPsule can contribute to the efficacy towards acne.

Objective To assess the clinical and pathological feature of patients with livedo vasculitis.Methods Clinical data were collected from 47 patients with livedo vasculitis,and retrospectively analyzed.All the patients were classified into three groups according to treatment strategy:anticoagulation group,anticoagulation + corticosteroids group,and anticoagulation + sulfasalazine group.Results Clinically,livedo vasculitis usually began as petechia or ecchymosis,edema with distending pain,followed by spotty necrosis which subsequently evolved into vermiculated ulcers and,finally,atrophie blanche.Pathological features included fibrinoid degeneration of and thrombus formation in small vessel walls within the superficial or deep dermis,as well as a sparse lymphocytic infiltrate around the injured vessels.The average time to onset of action of administrated drugs was (9.14 ± 3.48),(5.62 ± 1.04) and (8.23 ± 2.68) days,and time to remission was (2.57 ± 1.41),(4.06 ± 1.51) and (5.64 ± 1.32) months,in the anticoagulation group,anticoagulation + corticosteroids group and anticoagulation + sulfasalazine group,respectively.Conclusion Anticoagulation in combination with anti-inflammatory therapy appears to have a more rapid onset of action in the treatment of livedo vasculitis with a reduced recurrence rate compared with anticoagulation therapy alone.

Objective:
To investigate the clinical effect and safety of dasatinib combined with Chinese Children's Leukemia Group-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (CCLG-ALL) 2008 protocol in treatment of childhood Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
Methods:
The clinical data of 22 patients with Ph+ ALL who were newly diagnosed at the age of less than 15 years old in Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January 2014 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with dasatinib combined with CCLG-ALL2008 protocol (high-risk group). The patients were assigned to two groups according to different starting times of oral dasatinib: the dasatinib-induced group (starting from day 15 of induction chemotherapy) and the dasatinib-consolidated group (starting with early consolidated chemotherapy). The early treatment response and 5-year event-free survival (EFS) rate were compared between the two groups.
Results:
The differences of clinical characteristics and early efficacy of chemotherapy before treatment of dasatinib between the two groups were not statistically significant (both

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of IL3-IGH fusion gene-positive pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with hypereosinophilia as the first presentation.Methods:The clinical data of 1 pediatric IL3-IGH fusion gene-positive ALL patient with hypereosinophilia as the first presentation in January 2021 in Fujian Medical University Union Hospital was retrospectively analyzed and relevant literature was reviewed.Results:This 11-year-old male patient underwent bone marrow examination, and results showed that the proportion of eosinophils was increased; immunophenotyping disclosed that there were about 49.4% abnormal naive B lymphocytes in bone marrow; 43 leukemia fusion genes showed all negative; the whole transcriptome sequencing showed IL3-IGH fusion gene-positive. The patient was finally diagnosed as B-ALL with IL3-IGH fusion gene. According to the Chinese Children Cancer Group (CCCG)-ALL 2020 regimen, eosinophils returned to normal after induction therapy. Bone marrow examination on day 19 of induction showed that the proportion of promyelocytes was 0.005, the proportion of eosinophils was 0.05, and the minimal residual disease (MRD) was 23.02%. Bone marrow examination on day 46 of induction showed remission, and MRD was 0.18%. Consolidation chemotherapy used CAT (cyclophosphamide 1 g/m 2 once; cytarabine 50 mg/m 2, 12 h once, 7 days in total; mercaptopurine 40 mg/m 2, once per night, 7 days in total) regimen. Then the patient was added with lusotinib (75 mg 12 h once) orally and continued to receive high-dose methotrexate (5 g/m 2) regimen chemotherapy for 2 courses, the MRD was 0.20%. Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) regimen was administered, followed by negative MRD. Conclusions:IL3-IGH fusion gene ALL is more frequently found in males, and more common in older children and young adults. It is prone to organ infiltration damage, and it has a high rate of induction failure and recurrence as well as poor prognosis.

Objective To summarize the long-term outcomes and safety of childhood Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) with protocol ABVD. Methods The clinical data of 20 children with HL admitted to the Union Hospital of Fujian Medical University from July 2010 to June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Among the 20 children with HL, 15 were male and 5 were female. The median age of initial diagnosis was 6.5 years old (3-12 years old). The pathological types were as follow: 1 case was nodular lymphocyte-predominant HL (NLPHL) and 19 cases were classical HL (cHL), including 9 cases of mixed cell type, 9 cases of nodular sclerosis type and 1 case of lymphocyte rich type. Basing on Ann Arbor staging system, 1 patient was evaluated as stage Ⅰ, 4 patients were stage Ⅱ, 10 patients were stage Ⅲ, and 5 patients were stage Ⅳ. There were 3 patients in the low-risk group, 7 patients in the intermediate-risk group, and 10 patients in the high-risk group. There were 9 patients with B symptoms. All patients were treated with the ABVD regimen. Results All the 20 patients completed all chemotherapy courses. After 2 courses, the effective rate was 100%(20/20), including 12 cases of complete remission (CR) and 8 cases of partial remission (PR). After the treatment, 19 cases achieved CR, and at the end of the 6 courses, the evaluation showed that 1 case had residual lesions. Follow-up to February 2018, clinical symptoms of 18 cases achieved CR, 2 cases relapsed (all high-risk group); the median follow-up time was 42 months (10.1-87.9 months), the overall survival rate was 100 % (20/20), the estimated 5-year rate of freedom from treatment failure (FFTF) was (89.1 ±7.3) %.Conclusions According to the risk stratification, ABVD regimen has good safety and long-term efficacy for children with cHL. Even the patients in low-risk or intermediate-risk group do not achieve CR after 2 courses and do not receive radiotherapy, the prognosis of them is still good.
