Objective To investigate the value of image analysis technology of polari-light dermoscopy (PD) in diagnosing head and face tumors. Methods We randomly collected the head and face tumors from the patients in this hospital, and then diagnosed them with naked eyes and PD, respectively. After making sure the diagnosis by histopathology, we analyzed the results retrospectively. Results We summarized the diagnostic signs of 211 head and face tumors on dermoscopy, which shown a great specificity. Its diagnosis rate reached to 92.89 %, obviously higher than that (69.67 %)with naked eyes. Due to clinical misdiagnosis and erroneous treatment, the recurrence rate of skin lesions was 19.91 %. The top 3 of head and face tumors, in turn, was seborrheic keratosis, melanocytic tumor and basal cell carcinoma. Conclusions PD is a non-invasive image analysis technology, which is especially applicable to the early diagnosis of head and face tumors. It can make sense in decreasing blind biopsy, directing surgical excision areas effectively, and selecting reasonable remedy. It also has great significance in the recovery and beauty of skin lesions.

Objective To investigate the early diagnosis of vitiligo and its differential diagnosis from other depigmentated diseases using polarized light dermoscopy(PD)imaging analysis.Methods Patients with localized depigmented macules were enrolled into this study.PD was used to observe the micromorphology,feature and color of skin lesions.Histopathology was performed to confirm the diagnosis of all cases except for those of pityriasis versicolor which were confirmed by clinical and laboratory examination.Results Of the 176 patients.97 were diagnosed as vitiligo.Residual perifollicular pigmentation Was observed in 91.94%(57/62)of patients with progressing vitiligo and 62.86%(22/35)of those with stable vitiligo,with significant difference between the two groups of patients(P<0.05).However.residual perifollicular pigmentation was absent in the 79 non-vitiligo depigrnented cases.The presence of telangiectasia,early reservoirs of pigmentation and perilesional hyperpigmentation were related to the stage of vitiligo and treatment history of patients.Conclusions PD,which efficiently eliminates the interference of reflected light on skin lesions of vililigo,is an imaging technique that allows for the visualization of minor structures and features of the skin lesions that are indiscernible to naked eyes.In a nutshell,the application of PD has offered references to the early diagnosis of vitiligo and its differential diagnosis from other depigmentation diseases.

Objective To investigate the apoptotic effects of hypertrophic scar fibroblast (HSF) induced by HMME-PDT.Methods Fibroblasts were cultured from nontreated hypertrophic scars,and cells at passages 4-6 were used for the experiments (photosensitizer dose 4 μg/ml,λ630 nm,pow er density 10 mw/cm2,energy fluence 2.5 J/cm2).Morphological and biochemical changes in fibroblasts were assessed by Hoechst 33258 staining and fluorescence microscopy.The rate of apoptotic or necrotic cells was detected by flow cytometry (FCM) through double staining of Annexin V -FITC and popodium iodide (PI),respectively.Results Marked morphological features of cell apoptosis were viewed under the fluorescent microscope through Hoechst 33258 staining.The analysis of FCM indica ted that the apoptotic rate was significantly increased after HMME PDT [(34.82 ± I.42) % vs (3.12±0.28) %,P<0.05],and apoptotic rate was higher than necrosis rate [(14.65±1.02) % vs (34.82±1.42) %,P<0.05].Conclusions Low level exposure to 630 nm PDT mediated by HMME appears to induce fibroblast apoptosis.

A series of cycloberberine derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their anti-cancer activities in vitro. Among these analogs, compounds 6c, 6e and 6g showed strong inhibition on human HepG2 cells. They afforded a potent effect against DOX-resistant MCF-7 breast cells as well. The primary mechanism showed that cell cycle was blocked at G2/M phase of HepG2 cells treated with 6g using flow cytometry assay. It significantly inhibited the activity of DNA Top I at the concentration of 0.1 mg mL-1. Our results provided a basis for the development of this kind of compounds as novel anti-cancer agents.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of internal septation for differentiating benign from malignant breast lesions.Methods A total of 26 patients were included in the study,in which 12 patients had 20 lesions of breast carcinoma and 14 patients had 25 lesions of fibroadenoma diagnosed either pathologically or clinically.The differential diagnoistic value of the hypointensive internal septation was analyzed.Results The signal intensity of fibroadenomas and malignant lesions on T_2-weighted fat- suppressed images could be classified as iso- to hyper- intensity,hypointensity and mixed intensity. According to the signal intensity classification,there were 5,11 and 4 cases in patients with breast carcinoma respectively,while 11,10,4 cases in patients with fibroadenoma respectively.There was no statistical difference in the distribution between the two patient groups(?~2=1.764,P=0.414).The shape of fibroadenomas and malignant lesions could be classified as irregular、roundish or lobulated.According to the morphological classification,there were 12,7 and 1 case in patients with breast carcinoma respectively, while 1,7,17 cases in patients with fibroadenoma respectively.There was statistical difference in the distribution between the two patient groups(?~2=23.262,P=0.000).The typical features of fibroadenomas were as follows:lobulated shape,hypointensive internal septations on T_2-weighted or postcontrast images. The diagnostic sensitivity of the three imaging features for fibroadenoma was 68%(17/25),52%(13/25), and 72%(18/25)respectively;and the diagnostic specificity was 95%(19/20),90%(18/20),95% (19/20)respectively.Conclusion The internal septation is a rather specific sign for diagnosis of fibroadenomas.
