Objective To determine the clinical features of childhood vitiligo in Han nationality.Methods A standardized questionnaire was used to clinically investigate 396 cases of vitiligo in patients aged less than 12 years;825 adult patients with vitiligo served as controls.Data analysis was done by SPSS 10.0.Results In child patients with vitiligo,46.2% were males,and 53.8%females;there was no statistically significant difference in gender ratio between the childhood and adult groups(P＜0.05).The incidence of segmental vitiligo was 33.3%in children,significantly higher than that in adult patients(13.5%).On the contrary,the incidence of generalized vitiligo was significantly lower in children han in adult patients(4.3%vs 11.6%).A family history of vitiligo was observed in 12.4%of children,and in 12.7% of adults,withoutsignificant difference between the two groups.For both childhood and adult vitiligo patients,the incidence of vitiligo was significantly higher in firSt-degree relatives than in second-degree relatives.The most common precipitating factor of childhood vitiligo was trauma.The incidence of halo nevi was higher in patients with childhood vitiligo compared to patients with adult vitiligo,while thyroid disease was seen more frequently in adult patients.Conclusion There are some differences in clinical characteristics of vitiligo between children and adults.

S-nitrosation, which involves the formation of an S-nitroso function group on a protein cysteine residue, is a prototypic redox-based post-translational modification of proteins, and thereby conveys a large part of the ubiquitous influence of nitric oxide on cellular signal transduction. A purview of this modification was given mainly concerning the characteristics, the detection methods, the functional effects, the relevant diseases and the perspectives.

0.05).Between subgroups divided by the clinical restoration time,the CP IgM seropositive rate of the tachy restoration group was significantly higher than that in the deferred group(P0.05).Among subgroups divided by the clinical manifestation,the subgroup of paralysis plus disorder of consciousness had significant higher CP IgM seropositive rate than other groups(Pa

Objective To explore the effect of cutaneous never anastomosis on sensory recovery in repairing wide spreadly soft tissue defects in dorsal hand with free anterolateral femoral flap. Methods The cases with wide spreadly soft tissue defects in dorsal hand repaired with free anterolateral femoral flap from January 2006 to December 2012 were divided into 2 groups. The control group including 15 consecutive patients from January 2006 to January 2009, whose sensation was reconstructed in routine way. Other 15 consecutive patients from Febnary 2009 to December 2012 were as research group, whose sensation was reconstructed with the suture of cutaneous nevers of anterolateral femoral flaps and forearm. All the patients were followed up for 12~24 months. Results All the free flaps survived in both groups. There were 4 cases good of sensory recovery in the control group, and it was 11 in the research group. No ulceration happened. Conclusion Cutaneous never anastomosis may result in satisfactory sensory function in the patients with wide spreadly soft tissue descts in dorsal hand repaired with free anterolateral femoral flap.

Objective To assess the feasibility and clinical efficiency of laparoscopic Madigan enucleation of the prostate for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with large prostate.Methods From Nov.2008 to Jan.2010,24 eases of BPH patients with large prostate ( ＞90 g) were treated in our institute by laparoscopic Madigan enucleation.The average patient's age was 65.2 yrs,the average prostate weight were 132.3 ± 21.9 g,preoperative residual urine was 143.2 ± 23.2 ml,average IPSS was 28.6 ± 3.8,average QOL was 5.5 ± 2.4 and average MFR was 5.4 ± 2.3 ml/s.All patients accepted the laparoscopic Madigan enucleation of the prostate.The pre-surgery and three months post-operative IPSS,QOL,and MFR were compared and analyzed.Results All 24 patients successfully completed the surgery.The resected prostate tissue weight was 104.7 ± 23.3 g,blood loss was 112.5 ± 47.8 ml,postoperative hospital stay was 3.5 ± 0.8 d,bladder irrigation time was 1.3 ± 0.9 d,drainage time was 2.3 ± 0.5 d and catheterization time was 3.1 ±0.4 d.Three months after surgery,patient's IPSS was 4.5 ± 1.8,QOL was 19.9 ±3.1,and MFR was 18.5 ±2.9 ml/s.All the parameters significantly improved compared with the pre-surgery data ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions Laparoscopic Madigan enucleation of the prostate is a safe and effective method in the treatment of BPH with large prostate volume.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of autologous fat grafting in secondary cleft lip.Methods Grafting of autologous fat granules was applied to correct lip under-capacity.The technique was used in 40 patients with secondary cleft lip from June 2011 to December 2015.The ratios between the point of upper lip peak to vermilion height and to white lip height on the affected side were measured by Photoshop CS6.Results Satisfactory results were achieved with all 40 patients;the lip contour and morphology improved.The preoperative ratio was 0.417±0.190 and the postoperative ratio was 0.499±0.197, which increased average 26.02%, with statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusions Autologous fat grafting to correct lip under-capacity with secondary cleft lip is a safe, effective and micro-invasive method which can be sustained over a lengthy period.

Objective To investigate the effects of low frequency ultrasound (LFU) on the proliferation and apoptosis of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in rabbits with carotid atherosclerosis(CA).Methods CA models were established in 30 New Zealand rabbits using a high fat diet and air-drying.They were randomly divided into a control group and four LFU groups:group A received 0.5 W/cm~2 LFU for 5 min/d,group B 0.5 W/cm~2 for 10 min/d, group C 1 W/cm~2,5 min/d,and group D 1 W/cm~2,10 min/d.The rabbits' carotid arteries were autopsied after 20 d of the LFU treatment.The expression of PCNA and TUNEL staining were used to explore the proliferation and apopto- sis of SMCs,and the proliferation rates (PRs) and apoptosis rates (ARs) were calculated.Results Compared with the control group,the PRs in groups B,C and D were significantly lower,while the ARs in groups B,C and D were significantly higher.There was no significant difference in ARs or PRs among groups B,C and D.Con- clusion LFU can induce SMC apoptosis and inhibit SMC proliferation in rabbits with CA.

Objective To investigate the clinical features,diagnosis and treatment of prostate sarcoma. Methods19 cases of prostate sarcoma had been treated in our hospital from Oct 1995 to Sep 2010,aged from 16 to 48 years (mean,36 years).They were hospitalized due to different degrees of difficulty in urination,6 cases with bladder irritation,3 cases with gross hematuria,3 cases with blood clots in urination,3 cases with difficult defecation,2 cases with urinary tract infection,and 1 case with low back pain.Digital rectal examination showed prostate volume increased significantly in 16 cases,of which 6 cases prominent into bladder,and 3 cases touched hard nodules and tenderness.B ultrasound examination showed prostate neoplasms with internal echo uneven.Pelvic MRI in 12 cases indicated irregular soft tissue density in prostate with unclear edge,a high-low mixed signal inside,and mass protruding outward,among which 7 cases with significantly enlarged prostates and unclear bladder boundaries,6 cases with unclear boundaries with rectum,and 1 case with solid and cystic change. Pelvic CT in 10 cases showed irregular prostate tumors,among which 5 cases with tumor violation of bilateral seminal vesicle,2 cases with tumor invasion of unilateral seminal vesicle,and 3 cases with lymph node enlargement.Chest X-ray in 2 cases showed widespread metastatic lung. Results Different treatments were used according to different conditions:6 cases with full cystoprostatectomy,8 cases with radical prostatectomy,1 case with skin routine ureter fistulization and rectal fistulization,1 case with bladder fistulization,1 case with chemotherapy after prostate biopsy,and 2 cases with prostate biopsy alone. Pathological diagnosis showed 6 cases of leiomyosarcoma,6 cases of rhabdomyosarcoma,2 cases of malignant mesenchymal tumor,1 case of phyllodes sarcoma,1 case of granulocytic sarcoma,1 case of phyllodes sarcoma,1 case of malignant fibrous tissue sarcoma,and 1 case of poorly differentiated muscle induced sarcoma. Immunohistochemical examination in 19 cases of paraffin specimens stained with SP showed vimentin was positive,smooth muscle actin and myoglobin in leiomyosarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma were positive respectively,and desmin in two kinds of afore-mentioned sarcoma expressed in different level.CD117 and S-100 were weakly positive in 1 patient with undifferentiated component and 1 patient with liposarcoma of the malignant mesenchymoma.Peroxidase was positive in granulocytic sarcoma,p63 was positive in lobulated sarcoma,and CD34 was positive in malignant fibrous histiocytoma.14 patients were given chemotherapy,among which 6 cases were combined with radiotherapy.19 cases were followed up for 4 -30 months (mean 13 months).4 patients survived for 24 -30 months without recurrence,while 15 cases died within 18 months after diagnosis. Conclusions The prostate sarcoma is a clinically rare malignant tumor with high degree of malignancy and unspecific clinical manifestations.The diagnosis relies on biopsy and immunohistochemistry,and early diagnosis and radical surgical excision are helpful for increasing survival rate.
