Objective:
To observe the efficacy and safety of 308 nm excimer light combined with compound triamcinolone acetoniazole cream in the treatment of chronic hand eczema.
Methods:
From February 2016 to August 2017, 62 patients with chronic hand eczema admitted to the First People's Hospital of Taicang were divided into two groups using random digital tables, with 31 cases in each group.The treatment group was given 308nm excimer light combined with compound triamcinolone acetoniazole cream.The control group was treated only with compound triamcinolone acetoniazole cream.The effect after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment were determined in both two groups.
Results:
After 4 and 8 weeks of treatment, the effective rates in the treatment group were 35.48% and 87.10%, respectively, which in the control group were 29.03% and 61.29%, respectively.After 8 weeks of treatment, the difference between the treatment group and the control group was statistically significant(χ2=5.39,

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression and the possible mechanism of the transcription factor C/EBPα in chronic myeloid leukemia(CML).
METHODSBone marrow samples from 50 CML patients(including 33 patients in chronic phase, 7 in accelerated phase and 10 in blast crisis)and peripheral blood specimens of 20 healthy donors were collected. The expression of C/EBPα gene and the effect of Imatinib on its expression was detected by RT- PCR. C/EBPα gene was inserted into lentivirus expression vector pLVX- EGFP- 3FLAG- Puro by recombinant DNA technology to construct C/EBPα stable expression in K562 cells. Cell proliferation was assayed by CCK-8. The expressions of Foxo3a and Bim genes were detected by RT-PCR.
RESULTSThe level of C/EBPα expression was significantly declined in CML patients compared with that of normal control group(P<0.01)and had negative correlation with bcr- abl expression(Spearman r=- 0.505, P<0.01). The stable K562- C/EBPα cell line was successfully established and confirmed by RT-PCR and Western blot. Cell proliferation ability was lower in the K562- C/EBPα group than that in the non- transfection and mock-vehicle groups. The expressions of Foxo3a and Bim genes were 1.06 ± 0.06 and 0.53 ± 0.07, respectively, which was higher than that of nontransfection and mock-vehicle groups(P<0.01, P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONC/EBPα expression was decreased in CML patients, overexpression of C/EBPα could inhibit K562 cell growth.
