ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of treating pigmentation after acne with Babai dection mask.MethodsBilateral contrasts was adopted.30 patients who had pigmentation after acnes were randomly recruited into a treatment group and a control group.The treatment group was applied with improved Babai dection mask,while the control group was addminated with honey mask.After 8 weeks of treatment,the therapeutic effects were evaluated.ResultsThe total effective rate of the treatment group was 63.33％,while the control group was 26.67％,showing significant difference (P=0.004).The subjective satisfaction rate of the treatment group was higher than the control group (P=0.002).The melanin value of normal skin and pigmentation after the treatment[the treatment group:(156.18±30.68)、(186.44±41.98); the control group:(158.95± 26.64)、(182.25 ± 44.03)]was dramatically reduced than before the treatment[the treatment group:(180.90±33.09)、(202.37±41.14) ; the control group:(179.92±32.51)、(205.37±43.31)]( P＜0.01).TEWL value of both groups[(13.97 ± 4.78)g/m2h、 (13.57 ± 3.68)g/m2h]were higher than those before treatment[(9.64± 3.01) g/m2h、(10.55± 3.39) g/m2h](P＜0.01).The treatment group (33.72± 9.89) ％ had no change in water capacity than before(35.26± 11.41)(P＞0.05),while the control group decreased[after the treatment:(32.05±10.34)％,before the treatment (37.21±12.24)％].Uv / Ue value of skin elasticity decreased in the treatment group (0.63± 0.05) while no change in the control group (0.64± 0.05).Conclusion Improved Babai dection mask had obvious effects in whitening,accelerating regression of post-inflammatory pigmentation,maintaining the water capacity,and increasing skin elasticity.

Objective To explore the factors associated with delayed defecation in long-term ventilated patients in intensivecare unit (ICU) and their potential effect on prognosis.Methods A prospective observational cohort study was conducted. The patients admitted to general ICU of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from October 1st in 2013 to September 30th in 2015 who underwent mechanical ventilation (MV) for ≥6 days were enrolled, and they were divided into early defecation group (< 6 days) and late defecation group (≥6 days). At admission, clinical nutritional support were given as usual, and gender, age, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score, admission reasons, MV reasons, the usage of morphine and epinephrine/norepinephrine, the highest positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), the lowest oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) and the lowest systolic blood pressure were collected. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of the first defecation time. ICU mortality, the length of ICU stay, central venous catheter (CVC) indwelling time, duration of MV, ICU acquired bacterial infection rate, and the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) were compared between early defecation group and late defecation group. Logisticorgan dysfunction system (LOD) scores and gastric residual volume per day were recorded at the different time of MV.Results Totally 189 patients were enrolled, 39 patients did not satisfied the inclusion criteria and 13 patients gave up treatment or referrals were excluded. Finally 137 patients were enrolled in the analysis, 83 patients in late defecation group and 54 in early defecation group. There were no significant differences in the baseline characteristics such as gender, age, APACHE Ⅱ score, LOD score at 1 day of MV, admission reasons, MV reasons, disgorging and gastric residual volume per day during the first 5 days of MV, enteral nutrition, lactulose treatment in patients with hepatic encephalopathy during the first 5 days of MV, and blood purification treatment between the two groups (allP > 0.05). Compared with the early defecation group, late defecation group had less patients with loose stools or watery stool at first time [15.7% (13/83) vs. 33.3% (18/54)], more patients using morphine and the usage of epinephrine/norepinephrine more than 24 hours [48.2% (40/83) vs. 40.7% (22/54), 42.2%(35/83) vs. 29.6% (16/54)], higher the maximum PEEP level [cmH2O (1 cmH2O = 0.098 kPa): 7.9±3.7 vs. 6.7±3.5], lower the minimal systolic blood pressure [mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 74.8±28.1 vs. 88.9±30.2] and more severe of hypoxemia [PaO2/FiO2 < 150 mmHg, 54.2% (5/83) vs. 44.4% (24/53)], all of which had significant differences (allP < 0.05). Factors found statistical significances by single factor analysis were enrolled in the multiple regression analysis, which showed that PaO2/FiO2 < 150 mmHg and systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg were independently associated with a delay in defecation in patients undergoing long-term MV [PaO2/FiO2 < 150 mmHg: adjusted hazard rate: 1.415, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.061-1.590,P = 0.026; systolic blood pressure 70-89 mmHg:HR = 1.461, 95%CI = 1.164-1.788, P = 0.002; systolic blood pressure ≤ 69 mmHg: adjusted hazard rate= 1.273, 95%CI = 1.010-1.587,P = 0.034). ICU mortality, the length of ICU stay, CVC indwelling time, duration of MV, ICU acquired bacterial infection rate, and the incidence of VAP at 7 days of MV in late defecation group were significantly higher than those of early defecation group [ICU mortality rate: 15.7% (13/83) vs. 7.4% (4/54), the length of ICU stay (day): 17.0 (14.0, 23.0) vs. 15.0 (13.8, 20.0), CVC indwelling time (days): 12.0 (10.0, 14.0) vs. 10.0 (9.0, 11.3), duration of MV (days): 14.0 (10.0, 20.0) vs. 11.0 (9.8, 15.3), ICU acquired bacterial infections rate: 60.2% (50/83) vs. 14.8% (8/54), the incidence of VAP: 32.5% (27/83) vs. 14.8% (8/54); allP < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in LOD score between both groups. The LOD scores at 4 days and 9 days of MV in late defecation group were significantly higher than those of early defecation group (6.41±4.37 vs. 5.21±3.12, 4.33±2.20 vs. 3.50±2.90, bothP < 0.01).Conclusions PaO2/FiO2 < 150 mmHg and systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg during the first 5 days of MV were independently associated with a delay in defecation in patients undergoing long-term MV. The results suggest that constipation is associated with adverse outcomes in long-term ventilated patients.

Objective To explore the mechanism of blood-stage treatment in patients with psoriasis vulgaris through studying the level change of IFN-?, IL-4, IL-10 and IL-17 in patients with blood-stage treatment during activity and quiescence period separately. Methods 20 patients with psoriasis vulgaris in active stage(blood heat syndrome)and 20 patients with psoriasis vulgaris in resting stage(blood stasis syndrome) were recruitedto observe the treatment effects by the PASI score,and to observe thechange of IFN-?, IL-4, IL-10, IL-17 before and after treatment in the serum by ELISA. Results The PASI scores of two groups were both significantly decreased after treatment (blood heat syndrome group t=6.685, P<0.01;blood stasis syndrome group t=4.959, P<0.01). The levels of cytokines were significantly different between patients in the periods of activity and quiescence. Onvarying degrees, the levels of cytokines of two groups were improved after treatment. The levels of cytokines IFN-?, IL-17 in blood heat group significantly decreased(t=3.024, P<0.01;t=2.543, P<0.05). The levels of cytokines IL-17 drop but the levels of cytokines IL-4 raised in blood stasis group,that were significantly differentwith the levels before treatment(t=2.417, P<0.05; t=2.547, P<0.05). Conclusion The levels of INF-?, IL-4, IL-10 and IL-17 could be effectively modulated with blood-stage treatment in treating psoriasis vulgaris.

Objective To observe the effects of Qishu granule on PI3K/Akt signaling transduction pathways in the process of hepatic fibrosis, and further explain the anti-hepatic fibrosis mechanism of Qishu granule.Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, experimental control group and Qishu granule group. Liver fibrosis was duplicated in rats by intraperitoneal injection of CCl4, and the rats were given appropriate treatment at the same day. Rats in Qishu granule group were given a gavage 2 g/(kg?d), 1.0 mL/100 g, while rats in experimental control group and normal group were given the same amount of aquae sterilisata. Rats in each group were taken liver tissue samples in the 1st, 2nd and 4th week, and were checked for the protein expression levels of p-Akt (Ser473), p-Akt (Thr308), Bad (Ser136) and Caspase9 by Western blot.Results Compared with the model group, expression levels of p-Akt (Ser473), p-Akt (Thr308), Bad (Ser136) and Caspase9 in model and Qishu granule groups increased in every time points (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, expression level of p-Akt (Ser473) in Qishu granule group decreased significantly in the 1st, 2nd, and 4th weeks, expression level of Caspase9 dropped in the 1st and the 4th weeks, with statistical significance (P<0.05,P<0.01);expressions of p-Akt (Thr308) and Bad (Ser136) were lower than those in model group, without statistical significance (P>0.05).Conclusion Qishu granule could regulate PI3K/Akt signaling transduction pathways, and inhibit the occurrence and development of liver fibrosis.
