BACKGROUND:Keloids are the result of abnormal post-traumatic skin restoration, which are characterized with overgrowth and progressive enlargement, invasion of adjacent normal skin tissue, extension beyond the scope of the original wound. Given the high recurrence, treatment with surgery alone is meaningless and, therefore, comprehensive treatment of surgery and other approaches is required. OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical curative effect of local injection after timely removal of auricle keloid core. METHODS:Twenty patients with auricle keloid were enroled. After keloid core excision, the time interval within the incision scar tissue injection of fluorouracil or triamcinolone acetonide add lidocaine or monotherapy was gradualy lengthened, and if necessary the proper amount of compound betamethasone was added according to scar conditions. The injection dose was adjusted timely based on the regression of scar. The treatment effect was observed for 12 to 24 months. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Of 36 auricle keloids from 20 patients, the comprehensive treatment was effective in 1 keloid, and other 35 keloids were cured. The effective rate was 100%, the completely cured rate was 97.2% and the excelent rate was 2.8%. These findings indicate that minimaly invasive excision of keloid core and the epithelial flap coverage combined with 5-fluorouracil and corticosteroid injection is a safe and effective method to treat auricle keloids.

ObjectiveTo identify the association of HLA-DQA1*0302 and DQB1*0303 alleles with vitiligo in Uygur nationality in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. MethodsPolymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers(PCR-SSP) was performed to analyze the distribution of HLA-DQA1*0302 and HLA-DQB1*0303 alleles among 300 patients with vitiligo and 300 normal human controls of Uygur nationality in Xinjiang region. ResultsA significant increase was observed in the frequency of HLA-DQA1*0302 and -DQB1*0303 alleles in patients with vitiligo compared with the controls(20.5% vs. 13.83%, 30.17% vs. 13.33%, both P < 0.01 ). Increased frequency of HLA-DQA1*0302 and -DQB1*0303 alleles was also seen in patients with adult vitiligo (onset age > 12 years) and those with childhood vitiligo (onset age ≤≤ 12 years) ascompared with the normal controls(both P < 0.01). The frequency of DQB1*0303 allele was higher in both patients with and without family history of vitiligo than in the normal controls(both P < 0.01), while that of DQA 1*0302 was higher in only patients without family history (P < 0.01 ). No significant difference was observed in the frequency of HLA-DQA 1*0302 or HLA-DQB1*0303 between patients with adult vitiligo and those with childhood vitiligo or between patients with and without family history(all P > 0.05). Conclusions HLADQA 1*0302 and DQB 1*0303 alleles may be associated with vitiligo in Uygur nationality in Xinjiang region,and there seems to be genetic heterogeneity between patients with adult and childhood vitiligo and between vitiligo patients with and without family history.

Objective To explore the effects of Pannexin1 (Px1) channel protein on osteogenic differentiation of mesen?chymal stem cells (MSCs) under mechanical stress stimulation. Methods Bone marrow was extracted from Sprague Dawley (SD) rats (3 weeks, weighing 100-120 g) and cultured following 1st generation cellular technology. The safe dose of CBX (an inhibitor of Px1 channel protein) on MSCs was determined by CCK8 method and 100 μmol/L was used. The MSCs were cultured by the whole marrow culture method. When the cell was passaged to 3-4 generation, high purity of the MSCs were harvested. MSCs were divided into three groups:control group, stress?stimuli group (4 000μstrain) and stress stimuli+CBX group. The duration of stress was 15 min and CBX pre?treatment time point was 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h, respectively. The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, type I collagen expression, intracellular calcium ion (Ca2+) concentration, and Px1 channel protein, p?p38MAPK and p?ERK ex?pression were determined. Results ALP activities were highest in the stress group, and it was reduced by pretreatment of CBX. Similarly, stress increased the expression of type I collagen, concentration of Ca2+, and expressions of Px1 channel protein and p?p38MAPK was reduced by CBX. p?ERK was down?regulated by stress but not affected by CBX treatment. Conclusion Mechani?cal stress could promote osteogenic differentiation of MSCs and this promotion was inhibited by pretreatment of CBX, which might result in regulation of p?p38MAPK.

OBJECTIVETo study the anatomy basis for the clinical application of the adjacent horn shaped perforator fasciocutaneous flap for the reconstruction of small and medium-sized defects in the trunk area.
METHODS(1) Ten adult antiseptic cadavers (20 sides) were perfused with red latex. The skin blood supply, line of the blood vessels, branches in accordance with the distribution and crossing were observed. (2) Fifteen cases with defects in the trunk were treated with the adjacent horn shaped perforator fasciocutaneous flaps. The defects size ranged from 5 cm x 5 cm to 13 cm x 13 cm with the size of the flaps ranging from 10 cm x 6 cm to 35 cm x 15 cm.
RESULTSThe trunk skin is supplied by mainly 17 groups arteries such as thyrocervical trunk, internal thoracic artery, posterior intercostal arteries, superior epigastric artery, arteria epigastrica inferior, lumbar arteries, and so on. The perforators (diameter > 0.5 mm) numbers are about 20, 40, 24, 6, on the chest, abdomen and perineum, upper back, waist, respectively. All the flaps survived completely with primary healing both on donor and recipient sites. The flaps color, texture, function and appearance were satisfactory during the follow-up period of 1-24 months.
CONCLUSIONSThe adjacent horn shaped perforator fasciocutaneous flap should be designed flexibly. The defects in the donor sites could be closed directly without skin graft. It is an effective, easy and ideal method for the reconstruction of large defects in the trunk.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of 1,8-cineol on lung functions and mechanism in asthmatic guinea pigs. METHODS The guinea pig model was performed by intraperitoneal injection of the 0.5 ml Al(OH)_3 gel containing OVA 20 μg. The guinea pigs were constructed by immunization of intraperitoneal injection on the 0 day and the 7th day, and the experiment was performed on the 28th day. The effect of 1,8-cineol 10, 30 and 100 ml·kg~(-1) on the airway resistance(R_(aw)) and dynamic lung compliance (C_(dyn)) of asthmatic guinea pigs 1 h after challenge of OVA. The changes in leukocyte and different kinds of leukocyte in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) after the challenge of OVA have been studied. The levels of eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), interleukin(IL)-4, IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in lungs of guinea pigs were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The changes in R_(aw) and C_(dyn) of asthmatic guinea pigs were investigated 17 h after challenge of OVA and inhalated methacholine (MCh). The changes in leukocyte and different kinds of leukocyte in BALF after the challenge of OVA have been studied. The levels of ECP, IL-4, IL-8 and TNF-α in lungs of guinea pigs were determined using ELISA. RESULTS 1,8-Cineol inhibited increase in R_(aw) and decrease in C_(dyn) from 1 to 30 min after challenge of OVA in model group. The levels of ECP, IL-4 and TNF-α in asthmatic model group were higher than those in normal control group(P<0.05). The levels of ECP, IL-4 and TNF-α of 1,8-cineol 100 mg·kg~(-1) group were significantly lower than those in asthmatic model group (P<0.01). The level of IL-8 of asthmatic model group didn't have any significant difference from that of control group. 1,8-Cineol 100 mg·kg~(-1) could significantly decrease the numbers of leukocyte and the percent of eosinophils in BALF. Seventeen hours after challenge of OVA, R_(aw) and C_(dyn) of asthmatic model group were higher than these of control group (P<0.05, P<0.01); 1,8-cineol 100 mg·kg~(-1) significantly inhibited the increase in R_(aw), compared with model group (P<0.05); 1,8-cineol 10, 30 and 100 mg·kg~(-1) improved the decrease in C_(dyn) after MCh-induced in model group which were challenged by OVA after 17 h; 1,8-cineol 100 mg·kg~(-1) could significantly decrease the numbers of leukocyte and the percent of neutrophils, the levels of ECP, IL-8 and TNF-α compared with asthmatic group. The level of IL-4 in asthmatic model group didn't have any significant difference from that in normal control group. CONCLUSION In the course of early stage of asthma, 1,8-cineol inhibites the asthma by decreasing the number of eosinophils and down-regulating the activity of EPO. In the course of later stage of asthma, 1,8-cineol inhibits or improves the aggravation and lasting states of asthma which is directly coursed by neutrophils accumulating in the BALF that related to the increase in IL-8.
