In recent years,medical disputes in China are on the rise and it has been one of the social hot issues.Reasons for the medical disputes can be the disadvantages of present medical system or imperfection of medical laws and regulations,or irresponsibility of medical workers or poor medical skills.In response to these reasons,reforming the existing medical system,perfecting the law system in the field of health,strengthening the construction of medical workers'morality,upgrading medical skills and so on,should be adopted to reduce the occurrence of the medical disputes to the greatest extent.Meanwhile,a variety of solution systems related to medical disputes should be established to findact out proper resolutions to the medical disputes occurred.

Objective To observe the effect of 5-aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) on S.epidermidis planktonic cells,and to determine the optimal concentration and incubation time of ALA.Methods Some S.epidermidis planktonic cells were divided into 3 groups to be incubated with ALA at 50 mmol/L for different durations (3,5,8,12,16,18,20 and 24 hours) at 37 ℃ in dark room (group 1 ),with ALA at various concentrations ( 10,20,30,40 and 50 mmol/L) for 16 hours at 37 °C in dark room (group 2),and with fresh trypticase soya broth (TSB) solution for 24 hours at 37 ℃ in dark room (group 3),respectively.Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) was used to measure the fluorescence intensity of protoporphyrin Ⅸ (PpⅨ) in bacterial suspensions at different time points.Additionally,some S.epidermidis planktonic cells in group 1 were irradiated with red light at 30,50,70,90 and 100 J/cm2 after incubation with ALA at 50 mmol/L for 16 hours,some in group 2 were irradiated with red light at 100 J/cm2 after incubation with ALA for 16 hours,those cells in group 3 received no irradiation (blank control group),and some S.epidermidis planktonic cells receiving only irradiation and no pretreatment with ALA served as the laser control group; subsequently,the bacterial suspension was inoculated onto trypticase soy agar (TSA) followed by the calculation of colony forming units (CFUs) of S.epidermidis.Results Brick red fluorescence was observed by CLSM in S.epidermidis planktonic cells in group 1 and 2,but not in those in group 3,and the fluorescence intensity was enhanced with the increase in incubation time and concentration of ALA.In detail,the fluorescence intensity was significantly higher in planktonic S.epidermidis cells after 16-,18-,20- and 24-hour incubation than in those after 3-,5-,8- and 12-hour incubation with ALA at 50 mmol/L (all P ＜ 0.05),and higher in those incubated with ALA at 50 mmol/L than in those with ALA lower than 50 mmol/L (all P ＜ 0.05).After irradiation,the number of surviving S.epidermidis planktonic cells declined with the increase in ALA concentration and red light doses,statistically lower in the group 1 and 2 than in the blank control group (both P ＜ 0.05),but similar between the blank control and laser control group (P ＞ 0.05).The growth of planktonic cells was inhibited after incubation with ALA at 50 mmol/L and irradiation with red light at 100 J/cm2.Conclusions ALA-PDT shows a marked inhibitive effect on S.epidermidis planktonic cells,with the optimal working concentration of ALA being 50 mmol/L,incubation time 16 hours,and dose of red light 100 J/cm2.

Objective To investigate the effect and safety of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with topical aminolevulinic acid (ALA) in moderate to severe acne. Methods Seventy patients with moderate to severe acne were randomly divided into two groups, one group was treated with topical ALA-PDT for 1-3 sessions with an interval of 2 weeks, the other group received oral isotretinoin 10 mg twice a day for 6 weeks. Patients were evaluated for efficacy on week 2, 4 and 6 after the initial treatment. A 3-month follow up was performed to monitor adverse events following the end treatment. Results The total effective rate was 97.1% in ALA-PDT group after 1-3 sessions of treatment, 80.0% in the control group on week 6, and the difference was significant between the two groups (P<0.05). Acne lesions tended to recur more slightly with a longer remission period in ALA-PDT group than in the control group. A temporary and local pigmentation was observed in some patients treated with ALA-PDT, but no scar was noticed. Conclusion Topical ALA-PDT is a simple and effective treatment option for moderate to severe acne with mild side effects.

The decrease of the pain degree, action and lasting time of analgesia, and adverse reactions in the two groups were observed.Result The treatment group was superior to the control group in comparing the release of pain, action and lasting time of analgesia; the occurrence rate of adverse reactions in the treatment group was obviously lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The conventional three-step analgesic ladder plus acupoint sticking with Chan Wu gel is effective in mitigating cancer pain, and it can reduce the dose of the three-step analgesics and the adverse reactions.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of light-emitting diode (LED) irradiation at 530 nm,630 nm and 850 nm in the treatment of photoaged skin.Methods A total of 14 adults with photoaged extensor forearm were recruited in this study.Three areas were selected at the extensor forearm in each of these subjects and received LED irradiation at 530 nm,630 nm and 850 nm,respectively,thrice a week for 12 sessions.Dermoscopy was used to visualize these areas before and after the irradiation,the Corueometer CM 825 to measure stratum corneum (SC) hydration,Tewameter TM 300 to determine transepidermal water loss (TEWL),and CM-2600d spectrophotometer to measure L* value and melanin index (MI).Tissue specimens were obtained from these areas irradiated with LED at 530 nm (n =5),630 nm (n =5) and 850 nm (n =4) separately before and 6 weeks after the initial irradiation,and subjected to histopathological examination.Results Both skin texture and pigmentation were improved in 10 and 7 testees after 12 sessions of LED irradiation at 630 nm and 850 nm,respectively,but the skin texture became rougher and pigmentation was increased in 7 testees after LED irradiation at 530 nm.After LED irradiation at 630 nm and 850 nm,the testees experienced an obvious increase in SC hydration ((37.9 ± 7.7) au and (34.5 ± 7.1) au at 6 weeks after the initial irradiation vs.(33.1 ± 6.1) au and (32.0 ± 7.0) au before irradiation,both P ＜ 0.05),but a significant decrease in TEWL value ((9.8-± 2.5) and (10.9 ± 2.5) g·m-2·h-1 at 6 weeks after the initial irradiation vs.(14.0 ± 1.8) and (14.2 ± 2.6) g·m-2·h-1 before irradiation),with no significant changes in L* value or MI (both P ＞ 0.05).No evident alteration was observed in SC hydration or TEWL value (both P ＞ 0.05),while the L* value significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.05) and MI increased (P ＜ 0.05) after LED irradiation at 530 nm.Histopathological examination showed photo-induced denaturation of collagen fibers and elastic fibers in the dermis of these subjects before irradiation,as well as nascent collagen fibers and elastic fibers in a more dense and regular arrangement after irradiation at the three wavelengths.Conclusions LED irradiation at both 630 nm and 850 nm can improve the appearance and barrier function of,and stimulate the proliferation and rearrangement of collagen fibers and elastic fibers in,photoaged skin,while LED irradiation at 530 nm increases skin pigmentation.

Objective To analysis the cause of injury of traumatic optic neuropathy and explore the main factors affecting the prognosis of visual acuity. Methods We retrospectively collected clinical data of 104 cases (108) of traumat-ic optic neuropathy from January 2007 to December 2012 in the Renhe Hospital of Three Gorges University. We then ex-amined the cause of injury and analyzed risk factors for poor prognosis of visual acuity in traumatic optic neuropathy us-ing multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results The mean age of patients was 33.6 ± 12.8 years and 95 cases (91.3%) were males. The injury was mainly caused by non-motor vehicle and motor vehicle accidents (84 cases, 80.8%). Most of the patients came to the hospital within 3 days after the injury (81 cases, 77.9%). Overall efficacy rate of treat-ment was 45.4%(49/108). The effective rate was 29.9%(20/67) for visual acuity without light perception and 70.7%(29/41) for visual acuity with light perception, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that the time to treatment≥24h, orbital hemorrhage or orbital fracture, ethmoid or sphenoid sinus bleeding and no light perception vision were an in-dependent prognostic factors. Conclusion Time to treatment time and severity of injury are the independent risk factors for poor visual prognosis of traumatic optic neuropathy whereas controlling these risk factors has important clinical signifi-cance to the treatment and prognosis of traumatic optic neuropathy.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of and GJB2 gene mutations in a Chinese Han patient with keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome (KID syndrome),in hope to offer evidence for the clinical and genetic diagnosis of KID syndrome.Methods Clinical data were collected from a patient with KID syndrome.DNA was extracted from peripheral blood of the patient and his two family members (mother and brother).PCR was performed to amplify the exon 2 and its flanking splicing sites of GJB2 gene followed by bidirectional direct DNA sequencing. Results The patient presented with the typical triad of vascularizing keratitis,ichthyosis and congenital deafness.A G148A mutation in the exon 2 of GJB2 gene,resulting in the substitution of aspartic acid by asparagine at position 50 of the junction protein connexin 26 (Cx26),was identified in the patient,but not in either of his family members.Conclusion The G148A mutation in GJB2 gene may be responsible for the clinical phenotype of KID syndrome in this Chinese patient.

Objective To establish a human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT) stably expressing HPV16E7 protein. Methods HPV16E7 gene was amplified from CaSki cells using PCR and inserted into the eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1. Then, the recombinant expression plasmid pcDNA3.1-HPV16E7 was transfected into HaCaT cells followed by G418 selection and identification by RT-PCR and Western blot. Results The recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1-HPV16E7 was successfully identified by restriction enzyme digestion pattern and sequence analysis. Agarose gel electrophoresis of RT-PCR products detected the 297-bp fragment of HPV16E7 cDNA, and Western blot confirmed the stable expression of HPV16E7 protein. Conclusion A human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT) stably expressing HPV16E7 protein is successfully established.

Objective To evaluate the usefulness of protoporphyrin Ⅸ (PpIX) fluorescence diagnosis after topical application of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) in human papillomavirus (HPV) related diseases.Methods Photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) was conducted in 36 patients clinically diagnosed as genital condylomata acuminata. PpIX fluorescence was observed 2 hours following the application of 5-aminole-vulinic acid 20% cream on the lesions and subclinical lesions of these patients. Biopsy samples were resected from the lesions, subclinical lesions, and normal skin area (0.5 cm and 2 cm around the lesions) of the patients,and subjected to histopathological examination and microarray analysis for HPV DNA. Acetowhitening test was also performed at the four skin areas. Results Of the 36 patients, 30 were diagnosed as condylomata acuminata, 5 as bowenoid papulosis, and 1 as keratosis seborrheica by histopathological examination.Brick-red fluorescence of PpIX was observed in both lesions and subclinical lesions of all patients with condylomata acuminata and those with bowenoid papulosis, in subclinical lesions of 28 patients, at the area 0.5 cm around the lesions of 17 patients, and at the area 2 cm around the lesions of 5 patients. Acetowhitening and HPV DNA were also positive in lesions and subclinical lesions of patients with condylomata acuminata and those with bowenoid papulosis. Mucosa, inflammatory infiltration area and erosion tissue were prone to develop nonspecific PpIX fluorescence. Conclusions ALA-PpIX-mediated PDD can be used for the diag-nosis of clinical and subclinical HPV infection, as well as 'the location of latent HPV infection, however, it'snot recommended to be used in mucosa, inflammatory infiltration area or erosion tissue.
