Objective:To investigate the willingness to pay (WTP) for treatment and its influencing factors, to evaluate the correlation between the disease burden (quality of life) index and dermatology life quality index (DLQI) in patients with rosacea, and to provide a basis for individualized diagnosis and treatment.Methods:Patients with rosacea were enrolled via a WeChat platform at Department of Dermatology, Xiangya Hospital from August 2019 to February 2020. An online questionnaire survey was performed to investigate the WTP for a single session of treatment by which rosacea is assumed to be cured, and general information as well as data about clinical characteristics and DLQI scores were collected. Factors influencing high WTP were analyzed by using a logistic regression model.Results:Among the 435 respondents, 397 (91.3%) were females and 38 (8.7%) were males, with an age of 28.46 ± 8.33 years (range, 18- 63 years) . The respondents spent 10 474.95 ± 834.19 ( M[ P25, P75], 5 000 [1 000, 10 000]) RMB Yuan on previous medical treatment; the WTP was 12 510.86 ± 990.84 ( M[ P25, P75], 5 000[2 000, 10 000]) RMB Yuan; the DLQI score was 11.2 ± 0.38. Logistic regression analysis showed that lesions on the cheeks ( OR= 1.89, P= 0.041) , annual household income of > 100 000 RMB Yuan ( OR= 1.63, P= 0.029) , disease duration of > 1 year ( OR= 2.82, P < 0.001) , high number of visits in the past 1 year ( OR= 1.62, P < 0.001) , high self-rated rosacea severity score ( OR= 1.16, P= 0.002) and high DLQI score ( OR= 1.52, P < 0.001) were associated high WTP for treatment. Spearman correlation analysis showed that the DLQI score was positively correlated with WTP ( rs= 0.27, P < 0.05) and relative WTP (the proportion of WTP to monthly income, rs= 0.133, P < 0.05) . Conclusions:Among the patients with rosacea in Changsha, the WTP was at a moderate to high level, reflecting a serious impact on the quality of life. The WTP value can indirectly reflect the quality of life and help to rapidly understand the burden of disease in patients with rosacea.

BackgroundStudies confirmed that ultraviolet A (UVA)- riboflavin photodynamic therapy can control keratoconus progresses by altering the physicochemical property of cornea.The collagen components of amniotic membrane transplantation is similar to that of cornea and amniotic membrane transplantation has been widely used to ocular surface reconstruction.However,the study on UVA riboflavin-induced-collagen crosslinking for amniotic tissue is less now.ObjectiveThis study was to investigate the role of UVA-riboflavin on frozen-preserved human amniotic membrane.Methods Human amnions were obtained in informed consent and prepared into 2 mm×15 mm pieces and were then divided into 4 groups using lottery method and 6 pieces for each group.The first 3 groups were treated with the photosensitizer riboflavin and UVA-irradiation ( wavelength:370 nm ; irradiation energy:1,2 or 3 mW/cm2,distance:10 mm) for 30 minutes,and the untreated fourth group was as control group.Biomechanical stress-strain test was performed using a microcomputer-controlled biomaterial tester and the stress(mN) was recorded when the strains were set to 5％,10％ and 15％.The 7 mm diameter of human amniotic membrane pieces were trephined and divided into 4 groups(5 pieces for each group) with the treated method as mentioned above,and then the buttons were exposed to 0.1％ collagenase Ⅰ solution.The transparency was scored and the complete dissolving time was record.In histological evaluation,three groups (3 pieces for each group) of human amniotic membranes were treated using UVAriboflavin(3 mW/cm2),0.1％riboflavin,normal saline for 30 minutes respectively and examined under the transmission electron microscopy.This study was performed under the permission of the Ethic Commission of Beijing Tongren Hospital.ResultsWhenthestrainwas 5％,10％,15％,thestressof controlgroupand1,2,3 mW/cm2UVA group were statistically signifcantly different ( F =3.411,P =0.037; F =9.927,P =0.001;F=11.118,P=0.000).The tensile strength of human amniotic membrane cross-linked with UVA-riboflavin was statistically significantly increased in comparison to the control group (P＜0.05 ),and the tensile strength of human amniotic membrane became stronger as UVA power increased.The complete dissolve time was (8.6± 1.8 ) hours for the control group,(39.6± 2.3 ) hours for 1 mW/cm2 UVA group,(71.4±0.9 ) hours for 2 mW/cm2 UVA group,(78.8± 1.8 ) hours for 3 mW/cm2 UVA group,showing the enhanced anti-enzyme ability of human amniotic membrane after cross-linking(P＜0.01 ).The collagen density in the UVA-riboflavin treated group was increased,the connection among the collagen fibers as well as between the stroma and the epithelium became tighter than those of control group.ConclusionsCollagen cross-linking with UVA-riboflavin make the biomechanical strength and enzymatic resistance of human amniotic membrane enhance and ultrastructure change of human amniotic membrane.

To study the correlation between acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and HLA-A, B and DRB1 gene in southern Chinese Han population and to investigate the susceptible HLA gene to ALL, a total of 4707 healthy volunteer bone marrow donors from southern Chinese Han population were used as a control group, 201 patients diagnosed as patient group from southern Han individuals were genotyped at HLA-A, B and DRB1 loci by PCR-SSP, PCR-SSOP and SBT. HLA allele frequency and its distribution of ALL patient group were compared with the control group by using chi(2) test, and calculated the statistic value of relative risk (RR), pathogenicity score (EF) and preventive score (PF). The results showed that in comparison with the control group, the gene frequence of HLA-A26, B56 and DR9 increased significantly, but the gene frequence of HLA-A30, A33 and B58 allele frequency decreased significantly for patients with ALL. It is concluded that HLA-A26, B56 and DR9 gene have a high correlation with ALL and seem to contribute the genetic susceptibility to ALL in southern Chinese Han populations. However, HLA-A30, A33 and B58 gene seem to have protective role for southern Han individuals suffered from ALL.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the levels of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-furans (PCDD-Fs) in human breast milk of the mothers who lived in non-directly persistent organic pollutants (POPs) polluted area in Shenzhen, and the correlation of exposure risk factor was analyzed.

METHODSFrom July to November in 2007, 60 primiparas by vaginal delivery after parturition 3 weeks to 2 months were sampled for breast milk who aged from 20 - 34 years old and has lived in Shenzhen non-directly POPs polluted areas over 5 years. PCDD-Fs were extracted from the frozen-dried samples with accelerated solvent extraction (ASE), cleaned up by fluid management system (FMS) and quantified by high-resolution gas chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC-HRMS) using isotope dilution methodology. TEQ were calculated. The correlation relationship among infant's birth weight and length, participatory's dietary, age, inhabitation period, environment and the body burden of PCDD-Fs in mother was statistically analyzed by SPSS 13.0.

RESULTSThe participants aged from 20 - 34 years old (28 years on average) and lived in Shenzhen for 5 - 29 years (10 years on average). The concentration of PCDD-Fs in 60 breast milk samples were 26.957 143 - 669.583 333 pg/g fat (mean: 7.224 817 pg/g fat, median: 84.176 062 pg/g fat), and TEQ-PCDD-Fs in samples were 2.420 793 - 29.014 277 pg/g fat (mean: 8.645 992 pg/g fat, median: 7.751 804 pg/g fat). 2, 3, 4, 7, 8-PeCDF, 1, 2, 3, 7, 8-PeCDD, 2, 3, 7, 8-TCDD were the dominant contributors to the total TEQ, which were 3.691 654 pg/g fat (42.689 378%), 2.478 315 pg/g fat (28.652 356%), and 0.980 995 pg/g fat (11.343 995%) respectively. Significant positive correlations were found among age (r = 0.26, P < 0.05), inhabitation period (r = 0.49, P < 0.05), the consumption of fish (r = 0.37, P < 0.05) and the concentrations of TEQ-PCDD-Fs in the study.

CONCLUSIONThe levels of dioxin chemicals in the breast milk samples in non-directly POPs polluted areas of Shenzhen are high. Significant positive correlations were found among age, inhabitation period, the consumption of fish and the concentration of PCDD-Fs.
