Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of ultrapulse CO 2 laser-assisted au-tologous epidermal grafting for the treatment of vitiligo.Methods1605patients with30660skin grafts were treated by CO 2 laser-assisted autologous epidermal grafting.Among them,782patients had localized vi-tiligo,319segmental,226general and278scattered.Epidermal grafts were harvested with negative pressure blistering method from normally pigmented skin,and recipient areas were prepared with a ultrapulse CO 2 laser.The curative effect was evaluated8weeks later.Results79.04%of the lesions were cured complete-ly,and total response rate was92.21%,with better effect in localized and scattered lesions than in other le-sions.The best results were shown in face,while the worst results shown in brow and hairline lesions.Con-clusions The advantage of combined therapy of CO 2 laser with autologous epidermal grafting in vitiligo is of easy performance,convenience,high response rate,which is worthy of large scale application.

Objective To develop an evaluation index system of health management services for the elderly with the perspective of combining medical service and long term care, and laying the foundation for the field assessment. Methods Using Delphy expert consultation method to improve Andersen health service utilization model. Excel was used for data input, SPSS 22.0 statistical software was used for analyzing the data from the expert consultation questionnaire to determine the importance and feasibility of the scores including mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation. Constituent ratio analysis was done for expert positive coefficient, and the expert authority coefficient and coordination coefficient were analyzed by chi square test. The indicator's weight was calculated by using average method and multiplicative cumulative combination weighting. Results We constructed the framework for evaluating the effectiveness of health management service for the elderly in the community, the evaluation index system of the community health service was established. The system included 4 first level indicators, 12 second level indicators, 35 third level indicators, each index had a corresponding weight. Conclusions The evaluation index system is an effective way to assess health management service, selection of the indexes should be consistent with the connotation and characteristics of elderly health management under new aging care policy. Further empirical investigation is needed to modify the index system in order to provide decision-making basis for improving and regulating health management services for the elderly.

AIM: To study the effects of different dose proportioning the danggui-shaoyao powder (DS) on learning and memory and the content of NO in brain in mice. METHODS: The ability of learning and memory was measured by the step-through task and the water maze task. The content of NO in brain was determined referring to the reagent manual. RESULTS: All different dose proportion of DS promoted the memory of normal mice. And only DS 1 (1 5.4) and DS 3 (1 1.34) obviously improved the scopolamine-induced mice passive avoidance handicap, prolonged the latency, and decreased number of errors. DS 3(1 1.34) obviously improved reserpine-induced mice spatial orientation handicap and prolonged the latency; others had no remarkable effect on spatial orientation handicap of mice. And all different dose proportions of DS could reduce the content of NO in the brain of passive avoidance disruption mice induced by scopolamine. CONCLUSION: DS 3 (1 1.34) improves passive avoidance handicap and spatial orientation handicap of mice, and reduced the content of NO in the brain of passive avoidance handicap mice induced by scopolamine. The effect of DS 3(1 1.34) is the best on benefiting memory.

Water solubility is an essential physical chemistry property of organic small molecule drug and is also a very important issue in drug discovery. Good water solubility often leads to a good drug potency and pleasant pharmacokinetic profiles. To improve water solubility, structure modification is a straight and effective way based on the theory of water solubility. This review summarized valid structure modification strategies for improving water solubility including salt formation, polar group introduction, liposolubility reduction, conformation optimization and prodrug.

Objective To detect gene expressions of Uroplakin (UP) family in interstitial cystitis (IC). Methods Gene expression of UP Ia, Ib, II, III, and III-δ4 was quantitatively measured in bladder biopsy samples from patients with IC (n=29) and control subjects (n=16) using real-time RT-PCR. Results UP III-delat4, a splicing variant of UP III, was significantly up-regulated to 4.80 in IC samples (P<0.001). When IC patients were divided into two groups, one with and one without ulcerative changes, the UP Ia, UP Ib, UP II, UP III and III-δ4 genes were significantly up-regulated to 4.99, 3.31, 2.75, 15.38, 11.48 in nonulcerative IC patients, but decreased to 0.04, 0.29, 0.09, 0.11, 0.34 in ulcerative IC patients (P<0.01). The up-regulation of UP III-δ4 was more prominent than that of UP III: 26.5-fold versus 5.6-fold compared to the median values of normal subjects. Conclusion Although the clinical implications of the over-expression of UP III and III-δ4 in non-ulcerative IC bladders remain to be clarified, from the diagnostic viewpoint, UP III-δ4 is a potential marker for identifying nonulcerative IC.

Compound libraries and chemical synthesis play important roles in drug discovery and development, and efficient synthetic techniques can greatly facilitate the drug research. This review highlights the application of some efficient synthetic techniques in drug research including microwave chemistry, click chemistry, combinatorial chemistry, cascade reactions and multicomponent reactions, as well as the construction of diverse and drug-like compound libraries.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance tomographic angiography(MRTA) with 3.0T scanner for neurovascular compression in patients with trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm.Methods MRTA using three-dimensional time-of-flight(TOF) sequence was performed in 52 cases with trigeminal neuralgia and 9 cases with hemifacial spasm.MR oblique sagittal and coronal images were created to display the relationship between trigeminal and facial nerves and surrounding vessels,and compared with that of operation MRA showed that.Results In 52 cases with trigeminal neuralgia,the trigeminal nerves were compressed by vessels or contacted with vessels in 46 cases at MRTA,and in 9 cases with hemifacial spasm,all trigeminal nerves showed having vascular compression or in contact with vessels.The accuracy,sensitivity and specificity of MRA in diagnosing trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm caused by vascular compression were 90.2%,96.4% and 80%,respectively,which compared with that of operation.Conclusion MRTA is sensitive to neurovascular compression,which plays an important role in diagnosing trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm.
