The total standardized prevalence (SP) was 0.69％ . The SPs of the males and the females were 0.84％ and 0.51％ , respectively, the difference being statistically significant(P

AIM: To evaluate the effect of microfiltrating the extract of Sophora japonica L. by inorganic ceramic membrane. METHODS: The extract of Sophora japonica L. was processed by inorganic ceramic membrane, and the whole solid, effective ingredinent and flux of mebrane were examined. RESULTS: The extract of Sophora japonica L. became clear after microfiltration. The decreasing rate of the whole solid was 27.88%, the metastasis rate of the effective ingredient was 78.26, and the increasing rate of the effective ingredient was 8.48%. CONCLUSION: The microfiltration of inorganic ceramic membrane can improve the qualitry of extract of Sophora japonica L. refinery effect.

Coupled magnetic nanoparticles in the microcapsule structure, such as magnetic microcapsules, can be delivered in specific organism or tissues under magnetic field exposure. Thus, the microcapsules can achieve active targeting functions by manipulat-ing the magnetic field. Based on the magnetic microcapsules, the antitumor drugs can also be loaded to realize magnetic response, which gives microcapsules sustained and controlled release advantages. To date, the drug microcapsules carrying magnetic nanoparti-cles have become promising novel delivery carriers for the treatment of tumor diseases. This paper mainly reviews the method of prepa-ration of the magnetic nanoparticle-coupled microcapsules, including liposomes, polyelectrolyte microcapsules, and polymer micro-spheres. The basic research progress of these microcapsules as anticancer drug carriers for the tumor therapy was also reviewed.

The paper analyzes the structure and operation status of human resources structure in hospital libraries of Shanxi province from following aspects: educational background, titles, gender, age and other relevant aspects, then discusses how to improve the distri-bution and proposes strategy for enhancing the quality of personnel.

Objective To study the relationship of sunlight exposure and photoprotection with clinical activity in systemic lupus erythematosus. Methods A structured questionaire was administered to 107 SLE patients, to assess their attitudes and behavior regarding sunlight exposure and photoprotection. The clinical manifestations, laboratory findings and treatment were evaluated. Results All patients were classified into two groups based on the duration of exposure to sunlight per day. Fourty-eight (44.86%) patients were exposed to direct sunlight for an average of less than one hour per day in one group and 59 (55.14%) for one hour or more in the other group. Twenty-four (22.43%) patients reported use of photoprotective measures in spring and summer. The patients in the former group had significantly lower incidences of photosensitivity, arthritis, alopecia, exacerbations, presence of anti-dsDNA antibody, decrease of complement C3, C4 and CH50 than those in the latter group(P

Objective To study the prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD) in children in major cities of China. Method The children aged 1-7 were surveyed with questionnaire in ten cities of our country. Results In a total population of 49 241, there were 1 371 AD patients (768 males and 603 females) discovered. The total prevalence was 2.78%. The prevalence of males and females was 3.03% and 2.53%, respectively, The total standardized prevalence (S.P.) was 3.07%. The male and female S.P. was 3.86% and 2.20%, respectively, the difference being statistically significant (P

Objective To study the precipitating factors, clinical features, histopathological changes and treatment in patients with localized and generalized granuloma annulare (GA). Methods Clinical data of 24 cases of localized GA and 19 cases of generalized GA were analyzed retrospectively. Results Some cases of GA were found to be related to the exposure of sunlight, especially in the generilized patients. In the patients with localized GA, lesions usually distributed on the dorsal surface of the hands, nape of the neck, dorsum of feet. Annular lesions with 1-2 centimeters in diameter were formed by small papules. The largest lesion was 7 centimeter in diameter. Generalized GA presented as a diffuse papular eruption, 0.5 ~ 1 cm in diameter, and the lesions favoured the trunk and four limbs. The histopathological study showed that palisading granuloma pattern accounted for 61.9% in all patients, and scattered histiocytic infiltration accounted for 38.1%. Ultraviolet light avoidance, topical steroids, cryotherapy, surgical excision, systemic vitamin E or nicotinamide were effective for localized lesions. Systemic administration of chloroquine in low dosage was an alternative way for the stubborn localized GA. Systemic chloroquine, dapsone, corticosteroids, isotretinoin were effective in most generalized GA cases, but some cases relapsed when treatment was stopped. Conclusions Ultraviolet may be associated with the development of generalized GA. The histopathological changes were variable, the palisading granuloma pattern is the most common pattern. Topical therapy is effective in localized GA, and systemic therapy is mainly used for generalized GA.

Objective To study the role of photoallergens and contact allergens in the pathogenesis of chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD).Methods Ba sed on the standard procedures of photopatch test recommended by the British Pho todermatology Group (BPG) and the routine procedures of patch test,photopatch a nd patch tests were performed on 56 patients with CAD,42 patients with polymorp hous light eruption (PLE) and 25 patients with chronic eczema on scalp and face by standard photopatch test series recommended by the International Contact Derm atitis Research Group (ICDRG) and home-made standard series of contact allerge ns.A set of ten Philips TL20W/09N tubes was used as the source of irradiation.Results In the 56 CAD patients,the positive rates were 46.43 %,57.14 % and 32.14% for photopatch test,patch test and both tests,respectively,which appea red to be significantly higher than those in the patients with PLE.Positive pa tch reactions were found in 65% of the patients with chronic eczema,which was s imilar to that of CAD.And the frequency of the positive allergens in chronic ec zema was the same as that in CAD,in which fragrance mixture (FM) ranked the fir st,followed by balsam of Peru (BOP),cobalt chloride,nickel sulphate.In CAD,FM and BOP were the most common allergens and photoallergens,which accounted fo r 44% and 32% of the positive reactions in patch tests,15.38% and 17.95% in pho topatch tests,respectively.Conclusions Both photoallergens and contact aller gens may play important roles in the pathogenesis of CAD.Allergens positive in patch tests and photopatch tests and related compounds which can cause cross-r eactivity with the above allergens should be avoided by the patients with CAD.

Objective To evaluate the sunscreen application and the level of photoprotective knowledge in both dermatologists and photosensitive patients. Methods The style, sites and amount of the sunscreen applied were examined by 0. 05 % dipyridamole cream in 39 dermatologists and 41 photosensitive patients with Wood's light. The participants were asked to fill in a questionnaire about the photoprotective knowledge. Results Frequent mistakes made by participants in this study were as follow: (1) using an inadequate amount of sunscreen; (2) putting sunscreen in the palm of the hand and rubbing the hands together before application; (3) lacking a systematic approach to sunscreen application. The median quantity of individual sites ranged from 0. 5 mg/cm2 to 1 mg/cm2 except for the forehead of the female dermatologist that had a median thickness of 1. 5 mg/cm2. The questionnaire survey showed that dermatologists also had less knowledge on sun protection even though better than photosensitive patients. Conclusions Dermatologists and photosensitive patients always fail to apply sunscreen in some prominently exposed sites and to paint the average thickness of sunscreen used far less than that of experimentally measured dose (2 mg/cm2). Continuing education and training about pho-toprotection for dermatologists should be carried out to provide better education for the patients on sun protection.
