Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME) -mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the treatment of facial port-wine stains (PWS) in children with Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) .Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted based on the clinical data from SWS children treated with HMME-PDT at the Department of Dermatology, Children's Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics from December 2020 to January 2022. HMME was intravenously injected at a dose of 5 mg/kg, followed by the irradiation of SWS lesions with a 532-nm light-emitting diode light source, and the treatment interval was 8 weeks. The efficacy of HMME-PDT for SWS was evaluated based on the subsidence of erythema and changes in the number and density of blood vessels under a dermoscope before and after treatment; adverse events after treatment were recorded. Fisher's exact test was used to analyze differences in efficacy.Results:A total of 15 children with SWS were included, comprising 7 males and 8 females, with an average age of 4.74 years (range, 1 - 14 years). There were 10 cases of clinical phenotype Ⅰ and 5 cases of type Ⅱ; 10 patients were accompanied by glaucoma, 6 by epilepsy, and 10 showed abnormalities on craniocerebral imaging. After HMME-PDT treatment, 4 out of 15 patients achieved complete remission of SWS lesions, 3 showed marked improvement, and 5 achieved improvement. Among 8 cases receiving 2 sessions of treatment, 1 achieved marked improvement and 4 showed improvement; among 7 cases receiving 3 or more sessions of treatment, 4 achieved complete remission, 2 achieved marked improvement, and 1 showed improvement; the proportions of patients achieving complete remission and marked improvement were significantly higher among those receiving 3 or more sessions of treatment than those receiving 2 sessions (both P < 0.05). Among 7 patients with pink-type PWS, 1 recovered completely, 2 achieved marked improvement, and 4 showed improvement; among 4 patients with purplish-red-type PWS, 3 recovered completely and 1 showed marked improvement; among 4 patients with thickened-type PWS, 1 achieved improvement; there was a significant difference in the proportions of patients achieving marked improvement or improvement among the patients with different types of PWS (both P < 0.05). Among 14 patients with lesions involving the central face region, 4 achieved marked improvement and 2 showed improvement; among 15 with lesions involving the lateral face region, 5 recovered completely, 3 achieved marked improvement, and 4 showed improvement; the recovery rate of lesions was higher in the lateral face region than in the central face region ( P < 0.05). Under a dermoscope, the skin lesions showed 4 vascular patterns: short rod-shaped vessels in 3 cases, linear vessels in 4, reticular vessels in 5, and mixed-type vessels in 3. The 3 patients with short rod-shaped vessels all recovered completely; among the 4 patients with linear vessels, 2 achieved marked improvement, and 2 showed improvement; among the 5 patients with reticular vessels, 1 recovered completely, 1 achieved marked improvement, and 3 showed improvement; the 3 patients with mixed-type vessels all showed poor response to the treatment; the proportions of patients who recovered completely and those who achieved improvement significantly differed among the patients with 4 different vascular patterns (both P < 0.05). All the children experienced varying degrees of pain, swelling, purpura, and crusting after treatment, but none exhibited exacerbation of ocular or neurological complications. Conclusion:HMME-PDT was safe and effective in the treatment of PWS in children with SWS, and its efficacy was related to the number of treatment sessions, lesion types and locations.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of perioperative analgesia with esketamine in the patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery.Methods:A total of 90 patients of either sex, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, scheduled for elective thoracoscopic lobectomy under general anesthesia, were divided into 3 groups ( n=30 each) by a random number table method: control group (C group) and different doses of esketamine groups (S 1 group, S 2 group). Before induction of anesthesia, esketamine 0.1 and 0.2 mg/kg were intravenously injected in S 1 group and S 2 group, respectively, while esketamine was not given in group C. Anesthesia was routinely induced in all the three groups. During anesthesia maintenance, esketamine 0.1 and 0.2 mg·kg -1·h -1 were intravenously infused in group S 1 and group S 2, respectively, and the remaining drugs used for anesthesia maintenance were the same in the three groups. Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) was used after operation, and PCIA solution contained sufentanil 2 μg/kg in group C, and esketamine 1 mg/kg was mixed on the basis as previously described in S 1 and S 2 groups. Aminotriol ketorolac was given as rescue analgesia to maintain numeric rating scale score at rest ≤3. The total amount of propofol and remifentanil during operation, effective pressing times of PCIA in postoperative 0-24 h and >24-48 h periods, and requirement for rescue analgesia were recorded. The occurrence of adverse reactions such as respiratory depression, nausea and vomiting, dizziness and salivation, and emergence time were recorded after surgery. The serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentration was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at 30 min before and after surgery, and the malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration in serum was measured by thiobarbituric acid colorimetric analysis. The postoperative recovery was assessed using the 50-item quality of recovery scale at 1 and 2 days after surgery. The development of chronic pain was followed up by telephone within 1-3 months after surgery. Results:Compared with group C, the intraoperative consumption of remifentanil, effective pressing times of PCIA in postoperative 0-24 h and >24-48 h periods, rate of rescue analgesia, and postoperative serum IL-6 concentration were significantly decreased, and the 50-item quality of recovery scale score was increased in S 1 and S 2 groups, and the postoperative serum MDA concentration was significantly decreased in group S 2 ( P<0.05). Compared with group S 1, the consumption of intraoperative remifentanil was significantly decreased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in postoperative serum IL-6 and MDA concentrations in group S 2 ( P>0.05). Compared with group S 2, the postoperative emergence time was significantly shortened in S 1 and C groups ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the intraoperative consumption of propofol, incidence of adverse effects and incidence of chronic pain among the three groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Esketamine for perioperative analgesia (dose before anesthesia induction 0.1 mg/kg, dose for maintenance of anesthesia 0.1 mg·kg -1·h -1, dose for postoperative PCIA 1 mg/kg) can raise the quality of analgesia and improve the quality of early postoperative recovery in the patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy.

Objective:To analyze skin manifestations associated with coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) in children.Methods:Children diagnosed with COVID-19 accompanied by skin manifestations were retrospectively collected from outpatient clinics or teleclinics at the Department of Dermatology, Children′s Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics from November 1st, 2022 to December 10th, 2022, and their clinical characteristics were analyzed. Analysis of variance was used for comparing measurement data, and Fisher′s exact test for comparing enumeration data.Results:A total of 61 children with COVID-19 accompanied by skin lesions were included, they were aged from 22 days to 17 years (2.83 ± 2.47 years, and their course of disease ranged from 2 to 14 days. Skin lesions manifested as acute urticaria in 25 cases (41.0%), eruptive/maculopapular lesions in 10 cases (16.4%), facial vascular edema in 6 cases (9.8%), urticarial vasculitis in 5 cases (8.2%), pityriasis rosea and erythema multiforme each in 4 cases (6.6%), purpura in 2 cases (3.3%), mixed skin lesions in 2 cases (3.3%), and folliculitis, erythema nodosum, as well as angioedema of the limbs each in 1 case (1.6%). The age of children with different skin manifestations significantly differed ( F = 4.67, P < 0.001). Forty-eight patients (78.69%) presented with generalized skin lesions, while 13 (21.31%) with localized skin lesions; 10 (16.4%) had itching, 3 (4.9%) had a burning sensation, while 48 (78.7%) showed no symptoms. Skin lesions persisted for ≤ 3 days in 36 cases (59.0%) and for > 3 days in 25 cases (41.0%), and all lesions persisted for less than 2 weeks. All 61 patients had fever up to 38.5 ℃; 1 (1.6%) developed skin lesions before the fever, 41 (67.2%) developed lesions during the fever, and 19 (31.2%) developed lesions after the fever. The skin manifestations significantly differed among various groups divided by patients with different lesion distribution, self-reported symptoms, duration of lesions, and sequence between fever and lesion onset (all P < 0.05). No recurrence was observed after recovery, and skin lesions subsided without pigment changes or scaring. Conclusion:COVID-19 was often accompanied by various skin lesions in children, which mainly manifested as urticaria and eruptive/maculopapular lesions.

Objective:
To investigate the mid-term outcomes of the dual mobility total hip prosthesis in primary total hip arthroplasty.
Methods:
A total of 101 patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty with dual mobility total hip prosthesis from May 2010 to March 2013 were enrolled in the present study with complete follow-up information. There were 56 females and 45 males with the mean age of 66.36 years (rang from 58 to 77 years). There were 35 patients with femoral neck fracture, 33 patients with femoral head necrosis, 10 patients with hip osteoarthritis, 18 patients with secondary osteoarthritis to hip dysplasia and 5 patients with ankylosing spondylitis. The dual mobility total hip prosthesis was used for all 101 patients by the posterior-lateral approach of hip joint. Harris hip score was used to evaluate the clinical effects. Radiographic analysis was also performed to evaluate the biological fixation effects of the prosthesis, dislocation of the prosthesis, osteolysis and migration of the acetabular cup.
Results:
The mean operation duration was 80.68±6.59 min (range from 70 to 90 min). The average blood loss during the operation was 180.67±18.76 ml (range from 150 to 200 ml). All incisions were healed at the first stage. All patients were followed up with an average of 65±3 months (range from 62 to 75 months). Harris hip score improved from 56.70±16.71 before surgery to 94.26±1.91 at the last follow-up. The differences among different follow-up times were of statistical significance. The Hip flexion and extension, adduction and abduction, and internal and external rotation improved from 86.67°±16.70°, 34.06°±7.05°, 34.53°±7.45° preoperatively to 141.73°±6.56°, 57.06°±3.83°, 75.18°±4.00° at the last follow-up, respectively. At 3 months after the operation, the X-ray showed satisfied bone integration. There were no acetabular and femoral shaft fractures, sciatic nerve, femoral artery and vein injuries during the operation, and no joint dislocation, prosthesis loosening, infection and deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs during the postoperative and follow-up duration.
Conclusion
The dual mobility total hip prosthesis has the advantages in good initial and middle stability, rapid bone growth, low dislocation rate and repid recovery of postoperative motion range. It is suitable for patients over 65 years old or younger patients with postoperatively high dislocation.

Aim To study the pharmacodynamics of antianxietic compound prescription capsule ( ACPC ) on acute stress in rats and the influence upon the ex-pression of ERK/CREB signal pathway and brain-de-rived neurotrophic factor ( BDNF) in the cerebral cor-tex and hippocampus of rats. Methods The elevated plus maze ( EPM ) test was applied to observe the effects of ACPC on acute stress rats administered 7 d low-, medium- and high-dose ( 0. 75 , 1. 5 , 3 g · kg-1 ) . The expression of ERK/CREB signal pathway and BDNF in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus of rats were studied by using Western blot method. Re-sults In EPM, high-dose of ACPC increased signifi-cantly the rat open arm time ( OT%) ( P<0 . 05 ) and the percentage of open arm entries ( OE%) ( P <0. 05). In Western blot, the medium-dose of ACPC reduced significantly p-ERK1/2 expression in hippo-campus ( P <0. 05 ) , and high-dose group decreased significantly the expression of p-ERK1/2 and p-CREB in the cortex and hippocampus of rats ( P <0. 05 ) . High-dose group increased significantly the expression of BDNF in the cortex and hippocampus of rats ( P<0. 05 , P<0. 01 ) . Conclusion ACPC has anti-anxie-ty effect in the model of EPM, and its mechanism may be related to the ERK/CREB signal pathway and in-creased BDNF expression.
