ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of three different placental preparations in the treatment of childhood vitiligo.MethodsEighty-two children with vitiligo were divided into 3 groups to be topically treated with melagenine,human placental tissue fluid and human placental lipopolysaccharide respectively.All the patients were additionally treated with infrared rays for 20 minutes twice daily.The drugs were topically applied with an interval of 5 minutes during the irradiation.ResultsThe response rate was 75.65％,35.00％ and 44.44％ respectively in the melagenine-,human placental tissue fluid- and human placental lipopolysaccharide-treated patients,and significant differences were observed between the three groups of patients(all P ＜ 0.05).In particular,melagenine was superior to the other two preparations for the treatment of large areas of vitiligo on the scalp.ConclusionThe 3 placental preparations combined with infrared irradiation show favorable efficacy for the treatment of childhood vitiligo.

Objective To study the feasibility of using chitosan membrane to carry and transport melanocytes, in order to refine the technique for melanocyte transplantation with chitosan membrane. Methods Melanocytes were inoculated onto chitosan membrane and cultured for a period of time, then, electron microscopy,MTT assay and NaOH assay were carried out to estimate the adherence, growth and melanogenesis of the melanocytes. Skin wound surface was prepared in 12 nude mice, which were equally divided into 3 groups, test group inoculated with melanocytes on chitosan membrane, negative control group I treated with chitosan membrane without melanocytes, and negative control group II directly dressed immediately after the preparation of wound surface. On day 10 and 20 after the transplantation, confocal laser microscopy and immunohistochemistry were performed to observe the migration of melanocytes into the skin wound surface. Results Scanning electron microscopy and inverted microscopy showed that melanocytes were evenly distributed on and adhered well to the underlying chitosan membrane. As the growth curve of melanocytes demonstrated, chitosan membrane could support the normal growth of melanocytes, and no significant difference was observed in the synthesized melanin content between melanocytes cultured on the chitosan membrane and those in culture disks (0.087 ± 0.027 vs. 0.101 ± 0.036, t = 0.79, P > 0.05). Melanocytes were seen at the transplantation sites by confocal laser microscopy, and biopsy specimens from the transplantation sites stained positive for antimelan-A monoclonal antibody. Conclusions Melanocytes can adhere to and grow on the chitosan membrane,which can facilitate the migration of melanocytes to the transplantation sites in animals with the maintenance of biological activity of melanocytes.

Proteomics is a science of investigating pathogenesis in the level of protein, making proteom as the object of study, based on the exhaustive study of protein. Protein chip array and SELDI-TOF-MS technology is a new technologic platform, and it has an extensive prospect for application. Present article reviews the cross-correlation technique and progress of study of proteomics, as well as its application in urinary tumors'research.

Objective:To detect the specificity killing effect of anti-CD4-epirubicin immunoconjugate on T origin lymphoma cells.Methods:The immunoconjugate was made by linking anti-CD4 monoclonal antibody with epirubicin using Dextran T10 as linkage. The affinity and the killing effect of the immunoconjugate in vitro and in vivo were detected by complement independent cytotoxicity, immuno-histochemistry, CFU-GM and ~ 125 I-anti-CD4 radio-immuno-imaging in nude mice.Results:Anti-CD4 immunoconjugate showed a strong affinity and specific killing effect to T origin lymphoma CEM cells.Conclusion:Anti-CD4-epirubicin and ~ 125 I-anti-CD4 could be used for diagnosis and treatment of T origin lymphoma.

Objective: To study the possible mechanism of malnutrition in peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods: Multicenter prospective cohort study was designed . Forty-four peritoneal dialysis patients who survived two years after a cross-sectional study were included in the present study. We divided our patients into two groups according to the dietary protein intake(DPI) during follow-up period, DPI lower than 0.78 g/( kg?d) or DPI higher than 0.78 g/( kg?d). Patients' nutritional status was evaluated during the cross-sectional study and at the end of follow-up. 22 patients were divided into two groups according to the nutritional status improved or worsened in subjective global assessment (SGA) during the follow-up period. Besides nutritional status, patient's residual renal function, volume status and the incidence of cardiovascular event during the follow-up period were also evaluated. Results: Based on SGA , the incidence of malnutrition in low-DPI group was 60.9% in the cross-sectioned study and 45.5% after the follow-up. In high-DPI group, it decreased from 57.1% to 28.6%. The residual renal function declined significantly in worse nutritional status group, the incidences of volume overload and cardiovascular events during follow-up study were significantly higher in worse nutritional status group than that in improved nutritional status group. Conclusion: Malnutrition in peritoneal dialysis patients may not be simply due to lower protein intake. The changes in residual renal function, fluid overload and cardiovascular disease, accompanied with low dietary protein intake may be the possible cause of malnutrition in peritoneal dialysis patients.

Corneal refractive surgery has been the major solution for the correction of ametropia.With the standardization of preoperative examination,intraoperative procedure and perioperative drugs,corneal refractive surgery has become much safer.Meanwhile,patients can get not only good visual acuity,but also favorable visual quality.However,the patient satisfaction has not been improved dramatically with the enhance of effectiveness and safety after surgery.Increase of the satisfaction degree to corneal refractive surgery is related to multiple factors such as experienced and highly skilled operation,operative safety,lessening operative complication,good postoperative visual and life quality of patients.Comprehensively analyzing existing problems in corneal refractive surgery in China and further obtain satisfaction of patient will be of an important significance for the healthy development of laser corneal refractive surgery.

Objective To observe the change of gastro-intestinal hormone levels about syndrome type of stagnation of liver qi, deficiency of spleen and stomach, liver qi stagnation and spleen qi deficiency in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and to probe into the correlation between TCM syndrome type and gastro-intestinal hormone levels. Methods One hundred and three cases of patients with IBS were divided into liver qi stagnation group (35 cases), spleen and stomach deficiency group (30 cases) and liver qi stagnation and spleen qi deficiency group (38 cases), with normal group (10 cases) as control. Plasma motilin (MOT), somatostatin (SS) and cholecystokinin (CCK) were determined by radioimmunoassay. Result The plasma MOT level of spleen and stomach deficiency group was significantly higher than that in the normal controls (P
