Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of postoperative radiotherapy (PRT) for dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP).Methods:A systematic review and meta-analysis of articles published before February 23, 2019 were conducted. A total of 655 studies were retrieved consisting of 195 DFSP patients. Among them, 50 cases were assigned into the PRT group and 145 cases in the surgery alone (SA) group. The recurrence rate was statistically compared between two group.Results:Meta-analysis showed that the recurrence rate in the PRT group was significantly lower than that in the SA group (8% vs. 24.1%, OR=0.28, P=0.010). The recurrence rate of patients with positive margins in the PRT group was significantly lower compared with that in the SA group (8% vs. 61.5%, P=0.002). The recurrence rate of patients with negative margins in the PRT group had a decreasing trend than that in the SA group (6% vs. 21.6%, P=0.205). Conclusions:The recurrence rate of surgery combined with PRT is lower than that of SA. The recurrence rate of patients with positive margins is higher than that of those with negative margins. For patients with positive margins, PRT can decrease the recurrence rate. The recurrence rate trends to decline in patients with negative margins after receiving PRT.

Objective To investigate the effect of long?term exposure of nitrogen dioxide on the incidence of hypertension. Methods From March to December 2009, 37 386 eligible residents from four cities in northern China (Tianjin, Shenyang, Taiyuan, and Rizhao) were enrolled in a follow?up study by using the random cluster sampling method. Demographic characteristics, lifestyle, history of diseases, and self?report situation of hypertension were collected by using questionnaire. Based on the average annual concentration of NO2 during the period from the cohort to the onset of hypertension as an estimate of exposure, the effect of NO2 exposure on hypertension was analyzed by employing Cox proportional hazards model. The interactions between NO2 exposure and different characteristics (age, sex, body mass index, smoking, alcohol consumption, education, economy, exercise, and fruit intake) were also examined. Results The baseline age of residents was (43.74±13.78) years, and the body mass index (BMI) was (22.56±2.92) kg/m2. During an average follow?up time of 11.40 years, 2 619 (7.0%) new cases of hypertension were reported. The overall mean environmental pollution levels during the study period for the entire cohort was (40.74±17.07) μg/m3. After adjusting for age, sex, BMI, family history of hypertension, socio?economic information, and lifestyle, the hazard ratio (HR) of incident hypertension with a 10 μg/m3 increase of NO2 was 1.21 (95%CI:1.18-1.25). Compared with residents aged 60 years and over ( HR=1.19, 95%CI : 1.14-1.26), former and current smoking ( HR=1.20, 95%CI : 1.14-1.25), and high?frequency fruit consumption ( HR=1.17, 95%CI :1.13-1.21), residents younger than 60 years ( HR=1.28, 95%CI : 1.25-1.32), non?smoker ( HR=1.23, 95%CI :1.19-1.27), and low?frequency fruit consumption ( HR=1.27, 95%CI : 1.20-1.35) had stronger interaction effect with NO2 (all P values for interaction<0.05). Conclusion NO2 exposure may lead to the onset of hypertension, which has a stronger effect on people younger than 60 years old, without smoking history and with low?frequency fruit consumption.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) on long-wave UV damage in mouse skin in order to provide ideas for the treatment of skin photodamage.Methods:The inguinal and perirenal adipose tissues of C57BL/6 mice were extracted and processed to obtain mouse ADSCs, and the surface markers, adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation capabilities were identified. The mouse photoaging model was irradiated with the SS-03AB UV illuminator, the total UVB dose was 9.45 J/cm 2, and the total UVA dose was 94.5 J/cm 2. Experimental mice (72 in total) were divided into normal group, model group, DMEM (medium) group and ADSC group, each with 18 mice. In the normal group and model group, the materials were taken two weeks after the end of irradiation. After irradiation, the ADSC group was given a subcutaneous injection of 200 μl ADSC suspension, and the DMEM group was given 200 μl of serum-free medium for treatment, and the materials were taken for pathological staining after 2 weeks. The experimental data was processed by analysis of variance. This study was carried out from August 2018 to July 2019 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Results:The extracted cells were identified as adipose-derived stem cells. HE staining showed that the inflammatory cell infiltration in the ADSC group was significantly reduced compared with the DMEM group ( t=20.649, P<0.001) and the normal group ( t=16.147, P<0.001), and the thickness of the dermis layer was significantly increased. Masson staining showed collagen fibers were arranged neatly and the density increased significantly after ADSC treatment. Conclusions:Subcutaneous injection of ADSC can reduce inflammation, promote collagen tissue proliferation, increase the thickness of the dermis, effectively resist inflammatory damage and collagen breakdown caused by UVB.

Objective:To investigate personal exposures to nitrogen oxides(NOX)and nitrogen di-oxide(NO2)and the influence of baseline personal characteristics,living environment and daily activity patterns of the participants on the exposures among adults over 35 in Tianjin and Shanghai.Methods:In this panel study,91 healthy nonsmoking adults aged over 35 from Tianjin and Shanghai participated in our study.The study was conducted in summer and winter.The participants were followed for three times with an interval of at least two weeks.Only participants in Shanghai were followed once in winter because of the COVID-19 pandemic.Twenty-seven participants completed follow-up visits in both seasons.We measured their 24 h personal exposures to NOX and NO2and collected their baseline and time-activity in-formation through questionnaire/diary.The linear mixed model was used to analyze the associations be-tween potential influencing factors and personal NOX and NO2 exposure levels.Results:There were 349 follow-up visits with valid 24 h personal NO2 and NOX exposure measurements in the two cities.The ave-rage 24 h personal exposures to NO2 and NOX(volume fraction)in Tianjin participants were 18.0 x 10-9 and 26.2 × 10-9 in summer,and 31.0 x 10-9 and 54.9 x 10-9in winter,respectively;and the average 24 h personal exposures to NO2 and NOX in Shanghai participants were 38.7 x 10-9and 100.0x10-9in summer,and 45.5 x10-9 and 139.2 x 10-9 in winter,respectively.The results of univariate regression analysis showed that their personal NOX exposure levels were significantly associated with city,season,gender,average daily cooking times,and ambient NO2 concentrations measured at fixed-site monitoring stations.In addition to the above factors,the personal NOX exposure levels were also significantly associ-ated with educational level and the personal NO2 exposure levels were also significantly associated with passive smoking,average daily home time,cooking energy type,residential distance from main traffic road,and use of kitchen ventilators.Multivariate regression analysis showed that the personal exposure levels of NO2 and NOX were significantly lower in Tianjin than that in Shanghai,were significantly lower in summer than that in winter,and were significantly and positively associated with ambient NO2 concen-trations measured at fixed-site monitoring stations.In addition,personal NOX exposure levels were signifi-cantly lower in females than in males,and personal NO2 exposure levels were significantly positively asso-ciated with average daily cooking times and significantly inversely associated with average daily home time.For every interquartile range(IQR)increase(12.7 × 10-9)in ambient NO2,the personal NO2 exposure levels increased by 27.5％(95％CI:17.0％-38.9％),and personal NOX exposure levels in-creased by 16.1％(95％CI:7.1％-25.8％).Conclusion:Season,city and ambient NO2 concentra-tions are significant influencing factors of personal exposure levels of NO2and NOX At the same time,the personal exposures levels of NO2 are also affected by lifestyle factors.Our study provides scientific evi-dence for making precise air pollution control decisions and reducing the exposure levels of NOX in the population.
