Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of intense pulsed light combined with fruit acid in the treatment of erythema and pigmentation after facial acne.Methods:From January 2019 to December 2022, 108 patients were selected from Dermatology Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, including 30 males and 78 females, aged 20-44 (28.2±5.1) years. The patients were divided into three groups: intense pulsed light group (40 cases), fruit acid group (38 cases) and intense pulsed light combined with fruit acid group (30 cases). The clinical efficacy of the three groups was compared. The facial biological characteristics data of patients were collected with VISIA skin analyzer and the changes compared before and after treatment in each group.Results:The total effective rates of the intense pulsed light group, the fruit acid group and the combination group were 57.5% (23/40 cases), 50.0% (19/38 cases), and 80.0% (24/30 cases), respectively. Comparison of total effective rates among three groups, there were statistically significant differences (χ 2=6.70, P=0.04). Comparison of effective rates among different groups showed that there was no difference between the intense pulsed light group and the fruit acid group (χ 2=0.44, P=0.51); there were significant difference between the intense pulse light group and the combination group (χ 2=3.93, 6.49; P<0.05), and between the fruit acid group and the combination group (χ 2=6.49, P=0.01). After treatment, the VISIA scores of erythema, spots, pores, and purple in three groups of patients significantly decreased compared to before treatment ( P<0.05). The VISIA scores of each observation value showed a decreasing trend with the increase of treatment frequency ( P<0.01). During the treatment, no obvious adverse reactions were observed. Conclusions:Intense pulsed light combined with fruit acid in the treatment of facial erythema postacnes and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation can improve the efficacy and less adverse reactions.

Objective This study reconstructed 4D-CBCT for fully automatic compensated sliding motion by incorporating the bilateral filtering into the Deformable Vector Field (DVF). Methods First, a motion compensated simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique (Modified Simultaneous Algebra Reconstruction Technique, mSART) was used to generate a high quality reference phase by using all phase projection stogether with the initial 4D-DVFs, which were generated via Demons registration between 0% phase and each other phaseimage. The 4D-DVF was optimized by matching the forward projection of the deformed 0% phase with the measured projection of the target phase. The loss function’s DVF smoothing constrain term contained bilateral filtering kernel that contained: 1) an spatial domain Guassian kernel; 2) animage intensity domain Guassian kernel; and 3) a DVF domain Guassian kernel. By choosing suitable kernel variances, the sliding motion can be extracted. A non-linear conjugate gradient optimizer wasused. We validated the algorithm on a Non-Uniform Rotational B- spline based Cardiac-Torso (NCAT) phantom. Quantification was evaluated by: 1) the Root-Mean-Square-Error (RMSE) together with the Maximum-Error (MaxE); 2) the Dice coefficient of the extracted lung contour from the final reconstructed images and 3) the relative reconstruction error (RE) to evaluate the algorithm's performance. Results The motion trajectory's RMSE/MaxEare 0.796/1.02 mm for bilateral filtering reconstruction; and 2.704/4.08 mm for original reconstruction. Image content such a stherib position, the hearted gedefinition, the fibrous structures all had been better corrected with bilateral filtering. Conclusion We developed a bilateral filtering based fully automatic sliding motion compensated 4D-CBCT scheme. Digital phantom study confirmed the improved motion estimation and image reconstruction ability. It can be used as a 4D-CBCT image guidance tool for lung SBRTtreatment.

Objective:To investigate the association of thallium exposure during pregnancy with pregnant blood pressure changing and hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy(HDCP).Methods:A total of 3 240 pregnant women who had establish maternal health care manual in Ma′anshan Maternal and Child Health-Care Hospital and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in this study between May 2013 and September 2014.We collected their general demographic characteristics and blood pressure through questionnaire and medical records. Meanwhile we measured serum thallium concentrations by experimental technology. We use multiple logistic regression to analyze the association between thallium exposure during pregnancy and HDCP. Mixed linear model were used to analyze the association between thallium concentration and maternal systolic blood pressure (SBP) or diastolic blood pressure(DBP) in different trimestersResults:The age of 3 240 pregnant woman was (26.61±3.64) years, and the detection rate of HDCP was 5.9%(191).The median ( P 25, P 75) of thallium concentrations in first trimester, second trimester and third trimester were 62.96 (50.79, 77.04), 62.19 (50.87, 75.26), 48.84 (38.00, 66.00) ng/L, respectively. Multiple logistic regression results suggested after adjusting various confounding factors, the risk of HDCP in pregnant women with high concentrations of thallium (>77.04 ng/L) in the first trimester is 1.75 (95% CI:1.01-3.03) times higher than which with low concentrations(<50.82 ng/L). Mixed linear model results suggested there are positive correlation between thallium concentrations with maternal DBP in first trimester (β=1.12, 95% CI: 0.39-1.85). Conclusion:Exposure to high levels of thallium during first trimester may increase the risk of HDCP, and the exposure of thallium may be effective to DBP of pregnant.
