Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of photodynamic therapy with red and blue light in the treatment of facial acne. Methods Ninety-two cases of facial acne in dermatology outpatient hospital were randomly divided into the test group and the control group, with 46 cases in each group. Patients in the test group received the photodynamic therapy, and patients in the control group received red plus blue light treatment for eight weeks, respectively. Results Before treatment, patients in the test group and the control group had no significant differences in acne, papules, pustules, nodules, cysts and gags score. After 8-week treatment, the comedones, papules, pustules, nodules cyst number, gags score of patients in the test group were significantly less than or lower than those of patients in the control group (P < 0.05, respectively). The healing rate was 84.78% in the test group, which was higher than that of 65.22%in the control group of (P<0.05). The total efficiency was 97.83%in the test group and 93.48% in the control group, with no significant difference. The adverse reaction rate was 10.87% in the test group and was 23.91% in the control group, with no significant difference. Conclusion The effect of photodynamic therapy for facial acne is better than red plus blue light treatment ,with a less incidence of adverse reactions.

Objective To evaluate the growth inhibition and apoptosis of human monocytic leukemia THP-1 cell line by using 5,8-dimethyl-2-β-hydroxyisovalerylshikonin (SK36) and explore its preliminary mechanism. Methods CCK colorimetric assay and cell counting was used to examine the growth inhibition of shikonin on THP-1 cells. The apoptosis of THP-1 cells was detected by Annexin V/PI double labeling. The activation of Caspase-3 apoptosis pathway was determined by FCM. The apoptosis and the necrosis of THP-1 cells were detected by the laser scanning confocal microscopy. Results When the THP-1 cells were treated with SK36 at 1.02 μg/ml for 24 h and 48 h, the growth inhibition was dose-dependent. The cell apoptotic rate of THP-1 cells treated with 1.02 μg/ml evaluated by FCM with Annexin V/PI double labeling staining were (40.61 ±2.13) % and (67.40±9.15) % at 24 h and 48 h after treatment, respectively, which were significantly higher than that of the control group [(16.97±0.61) %] ([ = 18.444, t = 9.528, P <0.01). SK36 could induce THP-1 cells apoptosis involving the activation of Caspase-3 (F= 323.61, P<0.01). Conclusion SK36 can induce human THP-1 cells to undergo apoptosis, and its primary mechanism was to activate the Caspase-3.

Objective To investigate the distribution situation of ABO and Rh blood groups among Zhuang population in Nanning area to guide the scientific voluntary blood donor recruitment and rational storage of blood in this area.Methods 2 052 blood samples from Zhuang population in Nanning area were performed the identification of ABO and Rh blood groups.Whether the gene distributions conforming to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium principle was assessed by using the Chi-square test.The data was compared with the distribution characteristics in other areas or other minorities.Results The distribution characteristics of ABO blood groups in Nanning area were O > B> A > AB.Blood group O was highest (46.78%)and blood group AB was lowest (4.34%).The gene frequencies of A,B and O were 0.131 9,0.181 5 and 0.686 6,respectively.The blood groups distribution con-formed to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium principle;the RhD positive proportion(RhD+ )in Zhuang population was 99.90%,while the RhD negative (RhD- )proportion was 0.10%,which was lower than that in Han population.No phenotypes of ccdE,CcdE, CCdee,CCdE,CCDEE and ccDee were observed in this study.Conclusion The distribution of the ABO and Rh blood groups among Zhuang population in Nanning still maintains their own exclusive characteristics.The extremely low proportion of RhD- will bring about serious difficulties to the patients with long term blood transfusion.

It was demonstrated that there was significantly antigeni c drift in the influenza virus strains from Guangdong in 1996. It was the molecu lar basis of the variation on A、B、C、D and E domain encoded by HA gene, especi ally on A、C and E domain while the change of receptor binding domain played the slight roles in the 1996 influenza outbreak. In the other hand, the variation of No 145 and No 193 encoded by HA gene resulted in biological-feature changes of epidemical influenza isolates, which could be isolated and cultured by MDCK c ell-lines, but difficultly by embryonated-eggs.

Objective To evaluate the indications and intraoperative management of nephron-spar- ing surgery (NSS) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).Methods A total of 53 patients (32 men and 21 women;age range,21 -76 years) with unilateral RCC and a normal contralateral kidney underwent NSS.The disease course ranged from 1 week to 13 months.The unilateral RCCs were detected by B-uhrasonography. Partial nephrectomy was performed on 38 cases of polar RCC and wedge nephrectomy was performed on 15 cases of central RCC.Both renal vein and artery were blocked for 10 - 15 min,and unclamped for 1 -2 min if necessary.The resections were finished within 7 -21 min (mean,12 min).No inosine and regional hypo- thermia were used during operation.Absorbable hemostatic gauze and terylene flake were used to suture renal wound surface.After operation all patients were treated with interferon hypodermic injection of 5 000 000 U every other day for 3 months.Results The diagnosis of RCC with negative cutting margin was confirmed by pathological examination in all patients.The greatest dimension of the renal cancers were＜4 cm except for one of 6 cm.The clinical stage was T_1N_0M_0 in all patients.During the follow-up of 6 -48 months,all pa- tients were alive without recurrence and had normal renal function.Conclusions NSS can be rapidly per- formed for T_1 stage renal cancer＜4 cm or single clearly localized cancer＞4 cm in diameter.The follow-up results are satisfactory.

ObjectiveTo establish pediatric serum CysC reference intervals based on the children's hospital laboratory data in Zhejiang Province and analyse the effects of CysClevels on age and gender. MethodsCysC was one of tests of a routine biochemical screening panel employed for most outpatients and inpatients in the children's hospital, and 8 127 subjects (4 264 boys and 3 863 girls) were selected from 13 567 subjects from laboratory information system according to the exclusion criterion with seriously systemic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases, elevated values of creatinine, urea or ALT for which 1.5-fold upper limit, serum samples with hemolysis, icterus or lipid turbidity, same patients with non-first-time CysC results and living addresses which were not in Zhejiang. The serum CysC was determined by transmission turbidimetry on Roche DPP modular automatic biochemical analyzer. SPSS 17.0 software and EXCEL 2003 were employed for statistical analysis in this study. Results The serum CysC concentration was a Gaussian distribution after log transformation. The mean Log-transformated CysC lg (CysC) concentration of boys in five age groups ( ＜ 1 month, 1 to 3 months, 4 to 11 months, 1 to 2 years and 2 to 16 years) were 0. 224,0. 170,0. 112,0. 061, -0. 011 (mg/L,lg) respectively, and the mean Log-transformated CysC lg(CysC) concentration of girls in five age groups were 0. 222, 0. 164, 0. 089, 0. 057,-0. 010 ( mmg/L, lg) respectively, and no statistically significant differences between Ig( CysC ) and gender in five age groups were found ( t values were 0. 174, 0. 362, 0. 445,- 1. 464 and - 0. 093, respectively,and corresponding P values all were greater than 0. 05 ). The mean lg ( CysC ) concentrations in five age groups were 0. 222,0. 166,0. 100,0. 059, - 0. 010 ( mmg/L, lg), and significant differences between Lg ( CysC ) and ages by Analysis of Variance were observed ( F = 309. 785 and P = 0 in between-groups totally,P = 0 in any two groups). Serum CysC levels were highest in the age of ＜ 1 month, then declined to the age of 2 years and kept stable in the age of 2 to 16 years. The serum CysC reference intervals for children were as follows:0. 95 -2. 92 mg/L in the age of ＜ 1 month, 0. 81 -2.67 mg/L in the age of 1 to 3 months, 0. 65 -2.45 mg/L in the age of 4 tol2 months, 0. 56 -2. 35 mg/L in the age of 1 year and 0. 45 -2. 13 mg/L in the age of 2 to 16 years. ConclusionsThere is no significant effect on pediatric CysC levels with gender but close correlated with age below 2 years old. It is necessary to establish appropriate age-related reference intervals of serum CysC for efficiently evaluating renal function in local children.
