1.Type 2 inflammatory responses in atopic dermatitis
Chinese Journal of Dermatology 2021;54(1):84-88
Studies have shown that the type 2 inflammatory response and related cytokines such as interleukin-4 and -13, play a key role in atopic dermatitis (AD) . Th2 cells and type 2 cytokines are the core factors in the type 2 inflammatory response, which is mainly involved in the pathogenesis of AD through 3 pathways: aggravating skin barrier defects; activating and strengthening the itching response; pathologically reprograming regulatory T cells into Th2-like regulatory T cells to amplify the type 2 inflammatory response. This review explores the relationship between the type 2 inflammatory response and AD, aiming to help optimize treatment regimens and provide new treatment options for patients with AD.

Objective To set up an experimental animal model of head injury of deceleration. Methods The decelerating head injury was produced in r abbits by utilizing an impactor consisting of a rotor, elastic strips, a platfor m and a revolving board. Sixty-nine rabbits were used in this experiment: 33 ra bbits were for pre-experiment to establish the correlation of impact force and brain damage, 36 rabbits were divided into a control group (n=12), a mild injur y group (n=12) and a severe injury group (n=12) to elucidate the pathophysiologi cal changes after head injury at different injury levels. Results The physiological responses after impact were observe d in all traumatic animals, which showed a sudden rise or reduction of blood pre ssure, deep and fast breath and apnea, and pain reflects inhibition, etc. The re s ponses were more obvious in the severe injury group than in the mild injury grou p. The water content of the brain increased 6 h after injury and the intracrania l pressure went up 1- 6 h after injury in the severe injury group. The patholog ical lesions were noted at or above the impact force level of (800±50) N. At th e severe injury level of (1 100±100) N,there were almost all kinds of lesions, such as skull fracture, brain contusion ( coup injury and contre-coup injury),b rain stem injury and subdural hematoma. When the impact force rose to or over (1 400±150) N,the animals died of persistent apnea mostly. Conclusions A new practical and simple model of head injury of deceleration in rabbits has been developed with several features similar to t he experience in the clinical setting. This model with the same biomechanical me chanism as the clinical head injury of deceleration is quite useful for further study of the pathophysiological mechanisms of head injury, safe measure of abati ng head injury and investigating the effective therapeutic method for severe hea d injuries.

Objective: To explore the effect of lavage with artiifcial cerebrospinal lfuid on neural cell apoptosis and the extracellular regulated kinase (ERK) pathway atfer traumatic brain injury. Methods: A total of 192 SD rats were randomly divided into a sham group, a traumatic brain injury model group, a local artiifcial cerebrospinal lfuid group, and a local saline group. Each group was divided into 4 sub-groups by the sacriifced time at 6 h, 12 h, 1 d and 3 d atfer the operation. hTe phosphorylation of extracellular regulated kinase 2 (P-ERK2), TNF-α and cellular apoptosis were examined. Results: hTe levels of P-ERK2 protein and TNF-α protein, as well as the number of apoptotic cellsat each time point in the local artiifcial cerebrospinal lfuid group were lower than those in the model group or in the saline group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Lavage with artificial cerebrospinal fluid can reduce apoptosis of neural cells after brain injury through the ERK pathway.

AIM: To study the influence on the expression of proliferation cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) in rectal carcinoma through retention -enema with FUDR and 5 -FU. METHODS: 80 cases of rectal carcinomas were randomized into three groups: the FUDR group(30 cases), the 5-FU group(30 cases) and normal control group(20 cases), treated with FUDR(500mg), 5-FU(500mg) and normal saline(20ml ) everynight through retention - enema separately for serven days- Mucosa of rectal car cinoma were sampled and PCNA protein were simultaneously detected by imrnunohistochemical method on the first and eighth day. RESULTS: The expression of PCNA was significantly decreased in both FUDR group and 5 - FU group after treatment(P 0. 1). CONCLUSION:The cell proliferation of rectal carcinoma could be inhibited by FUDR and 5-FU through retention-enema. The effects of FUDR was more obvious than that of 5-FU in the same concentration. so the treating method through retention-enema with FUDR should be used as a routine therapeutic scheme befOre operation.

Objective To discuss microsurgical experience for transsuboccipital retrosigmoid sinus approach of large acoustic neuronomas,and improve the rate of tumor removing,and facial nerve and auditory nerve preserving Methods A retrospective analysis of 39 patients with acoustic neuronomas which were more than 4 cm in diameter were treated by microsurgery between January 1994 and December 2000 Tumor's excision was performed by transsuboccipital retrosigmoid sinus approach The surgical main points of transsuboccipital retrosigmoid sinus approach,and their experience of total removal,and rate of facial nerve and auditory nerve preservation were described Results The tumors were totally removed microsurgically in 34 patients,the total removal rate was 87 2%,and subtotal removal in 5 patients Facial nerve was anatomically preserved in 31 cases,the rate of facial nerve preservation was 79 5%,but the function of facial nerve was recovered in 22 cases (56 4%) The auditory nerve was preserved anatomically in 15 cases (38 5%) and functionally in 7 cases (17 95%) Conclusions An minimally invasive microsurgical treatment are crucial for increasing a satisfactory living quality of the patients It is considered that the total removal rate of tumor,the preservative rate of facial nerve and auditory depend upon microsurgical technique and intraoperative facial nerve monitoring in acoustic neuromas surgery

Objective To study the positions,features and sectional anatomy of the palatovaginal canal and vomerovaginal canal,comparing with CT and MRI findings. Methods The palatovaginal canals in 104 sides and vomerovaginal canals in 60 sides of dry skulls were observed.Three adult cephalic specimens were sliced into celloidin contiguous sections on coronal plane(0.5 mm in thickness) and the results were correlated with the CT studies of 11 patients and MR imaging of a cephalic specimen. Results In dry skulls,the palatovaginal canal displayed as complete canal in 79.8% of the cases,while appeared as groof in 15.4%.There was neither significant canal nor groof in 4.8%.The vomerovaginal canal demonstrated as complete canal in 36.7% of the speciments,while appeared as groof in 33.3%.This canal was communicated with the lateral palatovaginal canal in 15% and it was not detected in 15%.Four typical slices of the celloidin and 3 plane of CT and 3 plane of MRI were selected and the key structures were described.Conclusion The palatovaginal canal and vomerovaginal canal can be well depicted on coronal plane.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and the treatment of pancreatic encephalopathy (PE) and Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE). Method A retrospective study was conducted on 596 cases of acute pancreatitis. Results There were 93 cases of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP),among them encephalopathy was discovered in 10 patients (1.7%). All 6 patients of PE developed in SAP (6.5%);3 patients died (3% of SAP,50% of PE). Four cases of WE developed in AP (0.7%);2 patients died (0.3% of AP,50% of WE). Two patients of WE were treated with parenteral thiamine (vitamin B_ 1 ),and they survived. Conclusions PE occurred in early stage of SAP or recrudescence,while WE usually occurred in convalescent stage of SAP/AP. Long fasting,repeated vomiting,and total parenteral nutrition (TPN) without VitB_ 1 were main causes of VitB_ 1 deficiency,which might be the main causative factor in WE.
