Objective To summarize the main nursing points of toxic epidermal necrolysis. Methods On the foundation of conventional therapy, an overall assessment was carried out among 10 patients with toxic epidermal necrolysis. On loose skin with erythema, a combination of zinc oxide and talcum powder was externally applied to skin lesions where blisters were not broken in order to promote dry-style exfoliation of the skin lesion. After infrared irradiation, gauze containing MEBO was applied externally to skin lesions with eroded secretions to moisturize them, thus facilitating healing of the skin lesion. Meanwhile, mucosa of special part of patient's body was well nursed. Protective isolation was enhanced in order to reduce secondary infection. The patient's conditions were observed closely. Diet guidance was also done. Results All the patients were dry-style exfoliated with treatment ranges reaching up to 30%to 60%of the affected area. Dry-style exfoliation time was between 5 to 10 days, with an average of 7.20 ±1.69 days. The area of skin lesion erosion ranged from 10% to 60%. Following the external application of MEBO gauze to moisturize and heal, skin lesion healing time ranged from 7 to 18 days with an average of 13.70 ±3.40 days. Conclusion According to the specific situation of toxic epidermal necrolysis, targeted nursing and treatment can promote the dry-style exfoliation of skin lesions, reduce the area of skin erosions, alleviate the suffering of patients and promote healing of the skin lesion.

[Objective] To observe the specific immune responses induced by the recombinant major outer membrane protein (rMOMP) vaccine against Chlamydia trachomatis E serotype in rhesus monkeys.[Methods] Six rhesus monkeys were equally divided into three groups:adjuvant and protein group vaccinated with purified rMOMP and Freund's adjuvants,adjuvant group immunized with Freund's adjuvants only,and control group immunized with phosphate buffer.All the rhesus monkeys were intramuscularly immunized in the triceps brachii for 3 times at a 2-week interval.Two weeks after the last vaccination,serum,vaginal wash and venous blood samples were collected from the rhesus monkeys,and lymphocytes were isolated from the blood samples.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to determine the specific IgG antibody and interferon level in sera and secretory IgA (sIgA) level in wash samples,and methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay to evaluate the proliferation of lymphocytes after stimulation with Chlaraydia trachomatis serotype E elementary bodies.Delayed hypersensitivity was observed in rhesus monkeys challenged by inactivated Chlamydia trachomatis serotype E elementary bodies.In vitro antibody neutralization assay was conducted with the serum from rhesus monkeys.Indirect immunofluorescenee was used to detect Chlamydia trachomatis in exfoliative vaginal cells from rhesus monkeys from week 1 to 10 after challenge with Chlamydia trachomatis.Data were statistically analyzed by using one-way analysis of variance and least significant difference (LSD) test with the SPSS 14.0 software.[Results] The adjuvant and protein group differed statistically from the adjuvant group and control group in the serum level of specific IgG antibody (1.718 ± 0.213 vs.0.841 ± 0.315 and 0.791 ±0.437,both P＜ 0.05),interferon ((1086 ± 121.730) ng/L vs.(409 + 53.440) ng/L and (162 ± 48.046) ng/L,both P＜ 0.05),lymphocyte proliferation index (7.012 ± 1.026 vs.4.473 ± 1.850 and 1A26 ± 1.104,both P＜0.01 ) and the diameter of nodus in delayed hypersensitivity assay ( ( 1 1 ± 2.134) mm vs.(3 ± 0.914) mm and 0,both P ＜ 0.01 ).After attack,the exfoliative cells kept positive for Chlamydia trachomatis in the adjuvant and protein group from week 1 to 5,and in the other 2 groups from week 1 to 10,but were negative in the adjuvant and protein group from week 6 to 10.[Conclusion] The rMOMP vaccine can induce a specific,protective,humoral and cellular immune response against Chlamydia tracbomatis in rhesus monkeys.

OBJECTIVE: To study the molecular pathogenesis of SLC26A4 mutations associated with inner ear malformations including large vestibular aqueduct syndrome (LVAS), Mondini dysplasia and inner ear malformations but not accompanied with LVAS. METHOD: DNA sample and clinical material were obtained from 14 sporadic LVAS probands, six Mondini dysplasia probands and seven inner ear malformations excluding IVAS probands. SLC26A4 gene mutation was analyzed by direct sequencing for its 20 coding exons. GJB2 gene and also mt12SrRNA were analyzed by direct sequencing. RESULT: In 14 cases of LVAS, two mutations were detected in 12 patients (85.7%, either homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations), and one mutation was found in two patients (14.3%). In six cases of Mondini dysplasia, two mutations were detected in all of patients (100%). No mutation could be found in the seven cases of other inner ear abnormalities not accompanied with LVAS. No pathogenic mutation was detected in all of these 27 probands in GJB2 gene and mt12SrRNA 1555/1494T. CONCLUSION We have shown that LVAS and Mondini dysplasia closely correlate with SLC26A4 gene. No mutation was detected in seven probands of inner ear malformations not accompanied with LVAS. We should study the molecular pathogenesis of this disease in depth.

Objective: To evaluate the status and influencing factors of the mental health of patients with COVID-19 during isolation treatment. Methods: From February 2nd to 16th, 2020, 106 COVID-19 patients were anonymously investigated for their mental health status using onlinequestionnaires (including Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7, Patient Health Questionnaire-15 scales). The patients were from Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College ofHuazhong University of Science and Technology. After data processing, SPSS19.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results: Of the 106 COVID-19 patients, 46 were male and 60 were female, with an age of (35.90±11.92) years. The detection rates of depression, anxiety and somatic symptoms in those patients were 49.06% (52/106) , 56.60% (60/106) and 69.81% (74/106) respectively. The severe cases of depression (scale score greater than 19) , anxiety (scale score greater than 14) and somatic symptoms (scale score greater than 14) accounted for 9.43% (10/106) , 15.09% (16/106) and 20.75% (22/106) respectively. In addition, 67.92% (72/106) of the patients had sleep problems, 24.53% (26/106) had self-mutilating or suicidal thoughts, and 28.30% (30/106) required psychological counseling—all of which were at significantly higher percentages than those of the general population. Only 39.62% (42/106) of the examined patients had neither deression nor anxiety. By using the non-parametric test of rank conversion for analysis, and the results showed that both married patients and nucleic-acid-positive patients had more severe depressions, and both married patients and anoxemicpatients had more severe somatic symptoms. Conclusion This mental health assessment showed that depression, anxiety, and various somatic symptoms exist among the COVID-19 patients, and therefore early identification and intervention should be conducted to avoid extreme events such asself-mutilating or suicidal impulsivity, with a greater focus on both married patients and patients with severe symptoms.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-α receptorⅡ: IgG Fc fusion protein (rhTNFR:Fc) in the treatment of drug-induced toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) .Methods:From 2009 to 2018, 22 patients with TEN were enrolled from 8 centers such as the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, including 10 males and 12 females, whose age ranged from 22 to 75 years. These patients were subcutaneously injected with rhTNFR:Fc at a dose of 25 mg once every 3 days for 6 - 8 consecutive sessions, and the initial dose was doubled. The drug eruption area and severity index (DASI) score and DASI improvement indices (DASI50, DASI75 and DASI90) were assessed before treatment and on days 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22 and 25 after treatment; cytometric bead array (CBA) technology was used to detect the level of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) -α in peripheral blood and blister fluid samples. During the treatment, body temperature, rash changes, liver and kidney function of patients were monitored, and adverse reactions were recorded. Statistical analysis was carried out by using repeated measures analysis of variance, paired t test and Pearson correlation analysis. Results:Of the 22 patients, the temperature stopped rising in 20 patients without infections 24 - 72 hours after the first treatment, and returned to normal after 48 - 120 hours. Among the 22 patients, new blisters stopped appearing 24 - 48 hours after the first treatment, the skin color changed from bright red to dark purple after 48 - 96 hours, and most skin lesions subsided after 2 weeks. After 2 - 4 weeks of treatment, levels of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase returned to normal in 19 patients with abnormal liver function. After 4 - 13 days of treatment, levels of creatinine and urea nitrogen stopped rising in 7 patients with abnormal renal function. During the treatment, the DASI score of the 22 patients gradually decreased ( F = 532.81, P < 0.01) , from 53.64 ± 8.67 before treatment to 2.05 ± 1.21 on day 25 after treatment ( t = 26.60, P < 0.001) . On day 10 after treatment, 22 patients (100%) achieved DASI50; on day 19, 22 (100%) achieved DASI75; on day 25, 20 (90.90%) achieved DASI90. The level of TNF-α in peripheral blood of the 22 patients gradually decreased along with the extension of treatment duration, from 33.95 ± 27.90 ng/L before treatment to 2.38 ± 0.79 ng/L on day 25. Before treatment, the level of TNF-α in blister fluid of 15 patients was 111.99 ± 99.41 ng/L, and the ratio of blister-fluid TNF-α level to peripheral blood TNF-α level was 1.83 - 28.21. Before treatment, no correlation was observed between the serum level of TNF-α and DASI score in the 22 patients ( P = 0.10) , while the blister-fluid TNF-α level was positively correlated with DASI score in the 15 patients ( r = 0.59, P = 0.02) . No acute adverse reactions were observed during the treatment. All the 22 patients completed the treatment and were discharged with complete recovery. During 6 months of follow-up after discharge, no recurrence or any complication was observed. Conclusion:rhTNFR:Fc is effective and safe for the treatment of drug-induced TEN.
