Objective Acne vulgaris remains a major problem in dermatological practice. Phototherapy for acne with blue and red light-emitting diode (LED) arrays has recently attracted attention.The aim of this study is to observe the clinical effect of the blue and red light combination phototherapy on acne. Methods 65 individuals were recruited: 25 females and 5 males. Patients underwent treatment of 20-25 minutes blue light and 5-10 minutes combined light treatment twice per week. Continuous irradiation for 4 weeks was as 1 session. Mild acne vulgaris was treated for 1 session, moderate and severe acne were treated for 1 or 2 sessions. Results After system treatment, the acne lesion was reduced apparently without side effect. The effective rate of mild acne vulgaris, moderate acne vulgaris and severe acne vulgris was 80 %, 89.4 % and 88.2 %, respectively. Conclusion The combination of blue and red light-emitting diode therapy for acne vulgaris is effective. This therapy is convenient without side effect, and it is a new preferable modality for the treatment of acne.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between ineffective esophageal motility (IEM)and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).MethodsA total of 90 GERD patients were enrolled in our study,including 62 patients with reflux esophagitis (RE) and 28 with non-erosive reflux disease (NERD).All the patients underwent gastroscopy,24-hour esophageal pH monitoring and esophageal manometry.ResultsIn the RE group 30 (48.4%) patients were diagnosed as having IEM,which was significantly higher than the NERD group (6 patients,21.4% ) (P<0.05).Positive esophageal acid exposure was more often seen in patients with IEM than in those with normal esophageal motility (91.7% v.s.57.2%,P <0.01 ).The values of total percentage of time with pH <4,percentage of reflux time in supine position,long-duration episodes ( >5 min) and the longest reflux time and DeMeester score were significantly higher in the IEM cases than those in the normal esophageal motility cases ( P < 0.01 ),so was the values of number of reflux episodes (P < 0.05).ConclusionIEM is the most common esophageal dysmotility in patients with GERD and closely related to distal esophageal acid exposure and RE.

Objective To investigate the expression of VEGF-D and MMP-2 and explore their relationship with tumor invasion and local metastasis in pancreatic carcinoma.Methods The expression of VEGF-D and MMP-2 in 30 patients with pancreatic carcinomas and 6 cases with normal pancreatic tissues were detected by SABC immunohistochemical method.Results The positive rates of VEGF-D and MMP-2 proteins were 60%(18/30)and 66.7%(20/30)respectively,no expression of VEGF-D and MMP-2 was detected in normal pancreatie tissues.The expression of VEGF-D was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis(P<0.05),and the expression of MMP-2 was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis and tumor local invasion(P<0.05).The expression of VEGF-D protein Was positively correlated with MMP-2 protein(rs=0.54,P<0.01).Conclusions There is a significantly positive correlation between high expression of VEGF-D and MMP-2 proteins in pancreatic carcinoma,and they may contribute to the invasive properties of pancreatic cancer.

Objective:To explore the correlation among risk factors of hypertension and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) in officers of regiment and above in troops stationed in Zhejiang .Methods :A total of 2641 officers of regi-ment and above from troops stationed in Zhejiang ,who participated in annual physical examination in our hospital from 2012 to 2013 ,were selected .Correlation among body mass index (BMI) ,waist circumference (WC) ,WHtR , waist/hip ratio (WHR) and blood pressure were analyzed ;receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) was used to compare and analyze the predictive value of above four indexes on hypertension and judge the optimal cut-off point . Results :(1) Pearson correlation analysis indicated that WHtR was positively correlated with WC ,BMI ,WHR ,sys-tolic and diastolic blood pressure (r=0.25~0.94 ,P<0.005~ <0.001);(2) Among above four indexes ,WHtR had the largest area under the ROC curve 0.697 (95% CI 0.676~0.718) and the optimal cut-off point was 0.51 ;and it's 0.651 (95% CI 0.639~0.662) for BMI ,0.689 (95% CI 0.664~0.751) for WC and 0.685 (95% CI 0.672~0.698) for WHR ;for morbidity risk of hypertension ,compared with BMI ,WC and WHR ,WHtR possessed the most balanced sensitivity (60.68% ) and specificity (70.74% ) ,and the largest OR 4.12 (3.71~4.59) .Conclusion:(1) Among officers of regiment and above in troops stationed in Zhejiang ,anthropometric indexes are closely relat-ed to blood pressure ,which can be regarded as simple indexes for predicting and assessing morbidity risk of the popu-lation ;(2) Waist-to-height ratio may be the best anthropometric index evaluating risk of hypertension in these popu-lation and its optimal cuf-off point is 0.51 for predicting hypertension .
