Objective To study the relationship between common photoallergens and melasma.Methods Twenty allergens were selected according to the National Diagnostic Criteria for Photosensitive Dermatitis induced by cosmetics,National Diagnostic Criteria for Contact Dermatitis induced by cosmetics and National Diagnostic Criteria for Occupational Skin Diseases.Based on the standard procedures for photopatch test recommended by the British Photodermatology Group (BPG),photopatch test was performed on 50 patients with melasma and 30 normal controls.Results The positivity rate of photopatch test was 48.0%(24/50)in patients suffering from melasma,significantly higher than in the controls[23.33%(7/30),P<0.05].Conclusion Patients with melasma appear more likely to have positive photopatch test than normal controls.

Objective To investigate the influence of atorvastatin on tumor necrosis factor - α (TNF- α) of sepsis rats.Methods Sepsis models were established using male SD rats by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP).A total of 100 healthy rats were divided into 4 groups ( n =25) randomly ( random number):sham- operation group,CLP group,low- dose atorvastatin group and high -dose Atorvastatin group.Blood samples of 5 rats in each group were collected at postoperative 0,3,6,12 and 24 hours,to detect tumor necrosis factor - α (TNF - α) levels in plasma.Observe and compare the mobility of rats in each group and specimens of small intestine were taken for histopathological examination by optical microscope.Results At 0 hour,plasmic TNF - α levels in 4 groups were statistically equal (P > 0.05 ).In plasma of sham - operation group,changes of TNF - α levels were not obvious.Compared with CLP group,TNF - α levels in low - dose and high - dose Atorvastatin groups were both significantly lower ( P <0.01 ) at postoperative 3,6,12 and 24 hours.And TNF-α levels in high -dose Atorvastatin group were significantly lower than those in low - dose group ( P < 0.01 ) at the 4 time points.The mortality of sepsis was higher in CLP model group than other groups,That of Atorvastatin group was significantly lower than CLP model group but higher than control group and high - dose group was lower than low - dose group.Conclusions Atorvastatin can inhibit the expression of TNF - α in blood plasma of sepsis rats and reduce inflammatory reaction.

AIM: To observe the effect of crocetin on the apoptosis and the changes of its related regulating proteins caspase-3 and Bcl-2 expression induced by hydrogen peroxide (H_2O_2) in cultured cardiomyocytes. METHODS: Changes of cellular morphology were detected under microscope. Apoptosis rates of the cells were analyzed by PI staining with flow cytometry. Expressions of caspase-3 and Bcl-2 proteins in the cells were determined by immunofluorescence with flow cytometry. RESULTS: In the concentrations used, more severe morphological changes with higher apoptosis rate of the cultured myocardial cells were seen in each H_2O_2 group than that in control group. When treated with 1?10 -4 mol?L -1 H_2O_2, the caspase-3 was increased and Bcl-2 protein decreased remarkably in the cells. But each dosage of crocetin, especially the highest one (5?10 -5 mol?L -1, P

ObjectiveTo assess the safety and efficacy of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) treatment of renal carcinomas.MethodsFifteen patients with 17 renal tumors were retrospectively analyze. The patients’ ages were in the range of 46-80 years (65.2±9.4 years), the tumor diameters were in the range of 1.1-3.9 cm (2.3±0.7 cm) and biopsy pathological results were renal cell carcinoma. All of the tumors were inconspicuous on conventional ultrasound, while conspicuous on contrast enhanced-computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Seventeen tumors were ablated under the guidance of CEUS.ResultsAll tumors were successfully visualized on CEUS and MWA was performed under CEUS guidance. The durations of energy application for each tumor were in the range of 5-11 min (mean± SD 7.3±2.2 min). The mean session of CEUS-guided MWA for each tumor was 1.1±0.3. All patients were followed up for 3-49 months (median, 17 months) to observe the therapeutic effects and complications. There was no local tumor progress and major complication. ConclusionCEUS-guided PMWA is a safety, efficient and feasible therapy for patients with RCC which is inconspicuous on conventional US.

ObjectiveTo investigate the recent treatment result and the toxic responses of chemoradiotherapy with lobaplatin and paclitaxel in advanced esophageal carcinoma. MethodsFrom April 2010 to May 2011, 26 initial treatment patients withadvanced esophageal carcinoma were enrolled. The chemotherapy consisted of paclitaxel (135 mg/m2) on day 1 and lobaplatin (35 mg/m2) on day 2,and one cycle continued 21 days. Radiotherapy started on the second day after the fist cycle of chemotherapy. The median total dose was 60 Gy (2 Gy/Fraction,30 fractions,completed in 6 weeks).ResultsThere were 52 cycles in all and mean 2 cycles per patient.CR occurred in 7 patients (26.9 %),PR in 17 patients (65.4 %) and SD in 2 patients (7.7 %).The total effective rate was 92.3 % (CR+PR).The toxic responses mainly represented as following,myelotoxicity principally showed leucopenia at grade Ⅰ - Ⅱ occurred 46.1% (12/26) and at grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ 46.1% (12/26),thrombopenia at grade Ⅰ - Ⅱ occurred 30.8 % (8/26) and at grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ 7.7 % (2/26),hypohemoglobinemia at grade Ⅰ - Ⅱ occurred 42.3 % (11/26) and at grade Ⅲ 15.4 % (4/26).Baldness occurred 84.6 %(22/26). Pain of muscles or arthralgia occurred 69.2 %(18/26). Responses of gastrointestinal tract at grade Ⅰ - Ⅱ occurred 11.5 % (3/26).Radiation induced esophagitis occurred 88.5 % (23/26) and tracheitis 19.2 % (5/26).ConclusionThe toxic responses of concurrent chemoradiaotherapy with lobaplatin and paclitaxel in advanced esophageal carcinoma are tolerant, and the recent treatment result is good.Further study is needed.

Objective To investigate changes in expressions of activation antigens CD69 and HLA-DR in CD3+T lymphocytes in peripheral blood and skin lesions in patients with psoriasis vulgaris. Methods Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 20 patients with psoriasis vulgaris and 20 healthy controls, and skin specimens from the lesions of 15 out of the 20 patients and 10 healthy controls. Flow cytometry was performed to quantify the expressions of CD69 and HLA-DR in peripheral blood CD3+T cells, and an immunohistochemical study to measure the expression of HLA-DR in skin specimens. Statistical analysis was carried out by a two-sample t-test and Pearson correlation analysis with the SPSS 19.0 software. Results Compared with the healthy controls, the patients with psoriasis vulgaris showed increased expression rates of CD69 (4.70%± 1.90%vs. 1.56%± 0.95%, t=6.629, P<0.01)and HLA-DR (8.97%± 1.79% vs. 3.02% ± 1.15%, t= 6.204, P< 0.01)in peripheral blood. Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the percentage of CD3+HLA-DR+cells in peripheral blood was positively correlated with the psoriasis area and severity index (PASI)score (r=0.5626, P<0.05). The expression rate of HLA-DR was significantly higher in the dermis (64.87%± 17.31%vs. 19.80%± 5.69%, t=7.916, P<0.01), but lower in the epidermis(11.80%± 5.55%vs. 27.40%± 8.61%, t=5.479, P<0.01)in the psoriatic specimens compared with the control specimens. Immunohistochemically, HLA-DR was widely expressed in the dermis of psoriatic lesions, but mainly distributed around blood vessels in the control skin. Conclusions There is an aberrant activation of CD3+T cells in peripheral blood and inflammatory cells in skin lesions in patients with psoriasis vulgaris, and the percentage of CD3 +HLA-DR+ cells in peripheral blood is correlated with the severity of psoriasis vulagaris.
