Objective To observe the effects of 19 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) aqueous extracts in vitro on the standard and clinical strains of propionibacterium acnes.Methods We collected lesion contents of acne vulgaris patients and conducted anaerobic cultivation of propionibacterium acnes at 35 ℃ for forty-eight hours.After tested by oxygen resistance experiment,Gram staining microscopy,catalytic test,nitrate test and sugar fermentation experiment,ANI anaerobic identification card,and VITEK fully-automatic microbe instrument,the strains were identified as propionibacterium acnes.We used AGAR dilution method to test the MIC values of various TCM aqueous extracts.Results The MIC values of Cortex phellodendri,Scutellaria baicalensis,and Rhiubarb were 25 mg/ml,respectively;the MIC values of Sophora flavescens and Honeysuckle were 50 mg/ml;the MIC values of Forsythia was 100 mg/ml.13 kinds of TCM aqueous extract did not produce bacteriostasis at the highest concentration of 200 mg/ml including Belvedere fruit,Chinese bulbul,Hedyotis diffusa,Houttuynia cordata,Purslane,Yerbadetajo herb,Radix isatidis,Lithospermum erythrorhizon,Folium isatidis,Taraxacum,Semen plantaginis,Angelica dahurica,and Fructus cnidii.Conclusions Aqueous extracts of Cortex phellodendri,Scutellaria baicalensis,Rhubarb,Sophora flavescens,Honeysuckle and Forsythia have good inhibitory effects in vitro on Propionibacterium acnes.

Objective To observe the effects of traditional Chinese medicine aqueous extract on acne vulgaris models of rabbit's ear.We observed the medical effects of traditional Chinese medicine aqueous on rabbit's ear acne vulgaris models.Methods 7 twelve-week's old male rabbits were selected to establish acne vulgaris models by Kligman method.Coal tar was daubed at the opening of rabbits' ears tubes about 2 cm × 2 cm areas by the frequency of once a day for two weeks.Then 50 μl bacterial suspension of the propionibacterium acnes was subcutaneously injected into each ear of rabbit at the seventh day which concentration of propionibacterium acnes was 1.0)× 108 CFU/ml.14 ears of rabbits were divided into 7 groups randomly after the molds were finished,two ears per group.6 group ears of rabbits were daubed with TCM aqueous extract respectively,while the last group was daubed with physiological saline on one ear and fusidic acid cream on the other one,once a day.At last,the treatment effects and adverse reactions were observed respectively on the 7th day,15th day and 21st day.Results The sWollen rabbits' ears were reclined and even disappeared in groups with six kinds of TCM aqueous extract after 7 days;the local hair follicles corneous plugs became flattened,pimples and comedos reduced in groups with aqueous extract of Cortex phellodendri,Scutellaria baicalensis and Rhubarb.Conclusions Aqueous extracts of Cortex phellodendri,Scutellaria baicalensis,Rhubarb,Sophora flavescens,Honeysuckle and Forsythia have therapeutical effects on rabbifs ear acne vulgaris models.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of follicle unit extraction (FUE) and non shaving long hair implantation.Methods:Fifty individuals seeking beauty were selected to use FUE non shaving long hair implantation surgery for hairline reshaping or local hairthinning thatch. They were followed up for 12 months to evaluate the coverage rate, aesthetic effect, adverse reactions, and patient′s satisfaction of hair implantation.Results:Among the 42 patients seeking beauty, the hair in the affected area grew well and looked beautiful and natural after surgery. The donor area had no infection, no obvious scars, and no awkward period. Four patients with poor survival after hair transplantation underwent secondary implantation. Four patients were dissatisfied with the occurrence of a large amount of hair loss during the replacement period in the affected area. But after one year, the final effect was satisfied.Conclusions:FUE non shaving long hair transplantation is safe and effective in improving hairline and other small area hair transplantation, with a high survival rate and beautiful results. There is no obvious awkward period after surgery, with high rate of satisfaction.
