Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, relapsable and pruritic skin disease, commonly found in children and adolescents. The prevalence of AD is increasing worldwide. It is reported that AD is related to many factors such as genetic inheritance, environment, immunity and skin barrier dysfunction, suggesting a very complex pathogenesis. In recent years, high-throughput technologies in the field of genomics and metabolomics have opened up new perspectives on the pathogenesis of AD, and shown potential application prospects in microbiome transplantation therapies for AD. This review summarized the current advances in the relationship between skin microecology and skin health, the pathogenesis and microbiomic characteristics of AD, features of pathogenic microorganisms, and microbiome transplantation therapies for AD. Based on our own practical experience, we put forward a culturomics research protocol to study the human skin microbiome and a method for quantitative microbiological examination, aiming to provide reference for the prevention, clinical treatment and therapeutic monitoring of AD.

The evaluation of outpatient satisfaction was as high as 4.60 points. The quantity of consultation at 8-11 am and 14-17 pm on weekdays was the largest. The highest proportion of information content was about COVID-19.Conclusions:Telephone consultation during COVID-19 can not only effectively reduce outpatient visits, but also effectively diverse patient flow and prove conducive to extension services of outpatients in the future.

Objective To analyze the therapeutic effect and tolerability of decitabine monotherapy or combined with arsenic trioxide for the treatment of patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Methods Clinical characteristics of 32 patients with primary MDS in North Hospital of Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Medical College of Shanghai Jiaotong University from January 2014 to April 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical data of these patients were collected, and the patients were followed up. Decitabine combined with arsenic trioxide was used in 23 cases, decitabine (20 mg·m-·2d-1) and arsenic trioxide (0.16 mg/kg) were administrated from day 1 to day 5 and was repeated every 4-6 weeks. For the remaining 9 cases, only decitabine was applied, decitabine(20 mg·m-2·d-1) was administrated from day 1 to day 5 and was repeated every 4-6 weeks. The clinicopathological characteristics and the effect of genetic mutations on the efficacy of treatment were investigated. Results Of the 32 patients with primary MDS, 18 were male and 14 were female. The patients were 17-72 years old with a median age of 56 years old. Genetic analysis revealed 10 cases with TP53 mutations, 8 cases with TET2 mutations, 4 cases with U2AF1 mutations, 3 cases with RUNX1 mutations, 3 cases with ASXL1 mutations, 2 cases with NRAS mutations, 2 cases with DNMT3A mutations and 1 case with JAK2 V617 mutation. The follow﹣up time was 2-23 months with a median follow﹣up time of 8 months. A total of 21 cases (65.6%) attained treatment response. Among them, there were 10 cases (31.3%) with complete remission (CR), 5 cases (15.6%) with bone marrow complete remission (MCR), and 6 cases (18.7%) with hematological improvement. There was no significant difference in the efficiency and CR rate between the combination group and the monotherapy group (P＝0.441, P＝0.681). Ten cases were found to have TP53 mutations, of which 7 cases had CR. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that TP53 mutation was an independent risk factor for CR (P＝ 0.037). All patients developed myelosuppression after treatment, of which 16 cases developed pulmonary infection. Conclusions Decitabine combined with arsenic trioxide in the treatment of MDS is effective and well tolerated. The therapeutic effects of decitabine monotherapy or decitabine combined with arsenic trioxide for treatment of patients with TP53 mutations are better than the average levels.

Objective To explore the prognostic values of telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter (TERTp) mutation and 1p/19q co-deletion in newly-diagnosed O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter un-methylated/isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild-type glioblastoma multiform (GBM). Methods A total of 82 patients pathologically newly-diagnosed MGMT promoter un-methylated/IDH wild-type GBM, admitted to our hospitals from March 2016 to November 2018, were included in this study. TERTp mutations (TERTp wild-type and TERTp mutation [C228 mutation and C250 mutation]) in GBM specimens were detected by PCR sequencing, 1p/19q co-deletion in GBM specimens was detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and clinical data, adverse reactions and prognoses of patients with different molecular typing were compared. Results There were 33 patients in the TERTp wild type group with mean age of 48 years, and 49 patients in the TERTp mutation group with mean age of 59 years; the difference of age was significant (P<0.05); there were no statistical differences in gender distribution, Karnofsky performance status (KPS) scores, tumor sites and surgical resection degrees between the two groups (P>0.05). There were 8 patients with 1p/19q co-deletion and 74 patients without 1p/19q co-deletion; no significant differences in above clinical parameters were noted between the two groups. There were no statistically significant differences in the incidences of bone marrow suppression, digestive tract response and fatigue, disease progression rate, or survival rate between patients from TERTp wild type group and TERTp mutation group, and between patients with 1p/19q co-deletion and patients without 1p/19q co-deletion (P>0.05). No significant differences in above clinical parameters, disease progression rate, and survival rate were noted between patients with C228 mutation and C250 mutation (P>0.05). Conclusion TERTp typing and 1p/19q co-deletion status do not have prognostic value in newly-diagnosed MGMT un-methylated/IDH wild-type GBM patients; patients with TERTp mutations have older age than wild-type patients; patients with C250 mutation trend to have higher survival rate than those with C228 mutation.
