Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of topical hydrocortisone butyrate cream combined with a skin cream dressing in the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) .Methods:From July 2019 to June 2020, a randomized, open, controlled clinical study was conducted in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University. Sixty patients with mild to moderate AD were enrolled into this study, and randomly divided into 2 groups by using a random number table. The patients in test group topically applied a skin cream dressing (trade name FORENéE) followed by hydrocortisone butyrate cream, and those in control group topically applied the vehicle of the cream dressing followed by hydrocortisone butyrate cream. The treatment was carried out twice a day for 4 weeks. Visits were scheduled at baseline and after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment, efficacy was evaluated, and adverse reactions were recorded. Repeated measures analysis of variance and chi-square test were used to compare efficacy and safety between the 2 groups.Results:Before treatment, there was no significant difference in eczema area and severity index (EASI) , visual analogue scale (VAS) or investigator global assessment (IGA) scores between the 2 groups (all P < 0.05) . After 2 and 4 weeks of treatment, the response rate was significantly higher in the test group (86.67%[26/30], 93.33%[28/30], respectively) than in the control group (60.00%[18/30], 73.33%[22/30]; χ2=5.455, 4.320, respectively, both P < 0.05) . After 2 and 4 weeks of treatment, the remission rate of pruritus ( χ2=4.320, 4.022, respectively, both P < 0.05) and treatment success (IGA 0/1) rate ( χ2=6.667, 15.429, respectively, both P < 0.05) were significantly higher in the test group than in the control group. There was no drug-related adverse reactions in the 2 groups. Conclusion:Hydrocortisone butyrate cream combined with FORENéE skin cream dressing is safe and effective in the treatment of mild to moderate AD, and can be applied to clinical practice.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of topical glucocorticoids combined with a moisturizer containing antimicrobial peptides in the treatment of persistent localized eczema. Methods A total of 60 patients with localized eczema were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 topically applied Fuqing gel (an antimicrobial dressing) and hydrocortisone butyrate cream twice a day for 2 weeks, and group 2 topically applied the vehicle of Fuqing gel and hydrocortisone butyrate cream twice a day for 2 weeks. Recovered patients were followed up once every 4 weeks for 12 weeks. Bacterial culture was performed for 5 patients with suspected local Staphylococcus. aureus infection, including 3 patients in group 1 and 2 in group 2, before and after the 2?week treatment. Therapeutic effects were evaluated and compared between the two groups. Results Compared with group 2, group 1 showed a signifi?cantly higher response rate after 1?week treatment(χ2 = 5.455, P < 0.05), but significantly lower eczema area and severity index(EASI)scores after 1? and 2?week treatment(both P < 0.05). Before the treatment, S. aureus was detected in all the 5 patients. After 2?week treatment, S. aureus was undetected in all the 3 patients in group 1, but was still detected in the other 2 patients in group 2. The treatment was rated as ineffective in none of 7 recovered patients in group 1 during the 12?week follow up, but in 2 of 5 recovered patients in group 2 at week 10. Conclusion Fuqing gel combined with glucocorticoid ointment is safe and effective for the treatment of localized eczema, and can be applied in clinic.

Objective To explore the MSCT findings of occipital condyle fracture (OCF) and improve its diagnostic accuracy. Methods Nineteen patients with OCF, selected from 110 patients suffering high energy injuries at the craniocervical junction, were enrolled into the study. The MSCT appearances of OCFs were retrospectively analyzed by two experienced radiologists. OCF had four types: type Ⅰ was a comminuted fracture, type Ⅱ was a extension of basilar skull fracture, type Ⅲ was an avulsion fracture at the attachment site of alar ligament on occipital condyle, type Ⅳ was a fracture of mixed pattern consisting of two or more above fracture types. Results In 19 patients, the left, right and bilateral OCFs were seen in 7,11 cases, and 1 case, respectively. Type Ⅰ was found in one case, which was a comminution of the left occipital condyle. Type Ⅱ was found in 5 cases, which involved the middle and posterior parts of occipital condyles with 2 on the left and 3 on the right, Type Ⅲ was found in 12 cases which showed various degree of fragment displacement with 3 occuring on the left, 8 on the right, 1 involving bilateral sides, 6 involving articular surfaces and 7 accompaning by enlargment of alar ligaments. Type Ⅳ was found in one case, with coexistence of Type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ. In addition, OCFs were accompanied by head and (or) cervical spine injuries in 14 cases, which included cranial fracture in 8 cases, epidural hematoma in 4 cases, subarachnoid hemorrhage in one case, cerebral contusion and laceration in one case, subfalcial hernia in one case, cervical spine fracture and dislocation in 9 cases, and so on. Conclusion OCFs can be accurately diagnosed by MSCT, which is important for selection of treatment protocols.

Objective To compare the influences of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) and conventional or mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR/MCPR) on survival rate and neurological outcome for adult patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), and to assess the effect of ECPR. Methods Databases such as Medline, Embase, ScienceDirect, HighWire, Cochrane Library, Wanfang Database and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were searched from January 2000 to October 2018 to retrieve clinical trials on comparison of the effect of ECPR and CCPR/MCPR on survival rate and neurological outcome of adult patients with OHCA. Thereafter, the studies retrieved were based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were extracted and the quality of the included studies was evaluated by two researchers. A meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. Sensitivity analysis was used to evaluate the stability of the results, and funnel plot was used to evaluate publication bias. Results A total of 12 studies and 2 519 patients were enrolled, including 615 patients receiving ECPR and 1 904 patients receiving CCPR/MCPR. Meta-analysis showed that compared with CCPR/MCPR, ECPR could not improve the short-term (at hospital discharge or within 1 month) survival rate in patients with OHCA [odds ratio (OR) = 2.26, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.95-5.41, P = 0.07], but could increase long-term (at more than 3 months) survival rate (OR = 3.56, 95%CI = 1.65-7.71, P = 0.001), rate of good neurological outcome at hospital discharge [Glasgow-Pittsburgh cerebral performance categories (CPC) 1-2 was defined as good neurological function; OR = 3.39, 95%CI = 1.73-6.62, P = 0.000 4], and rate of good long-term neurological outcome (OR = 3.45, 95%CI = 2.24-5.32, P < 0.000 01). Sensitivity analysis showed that the overall results did not change significantly, whether using fixed-effect model and random-effect model to analyze the differences of each effect index, or excluding one study with fewer than 50 subjects for data analysis, indicating that the results were more stable. The funnel plot suggested that there was no publication bias in the studies. But due to the small number of studies, the publication bias could not be excluded. Conclusion ECPR could not improve the short-term survival rate at hospital discharge or within 1 month in patients with OHCA, but could increase long-term survival rate at more than 3 months, good neurological outcome at hospital discharge and long-term neurological outcome.
