Objective:To investigate the status of corneal epithelial remodeling and changes in corneal aberration after femtosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) and FS-LASIK combined with corneal collagen cross-linking (FS-LASIK Xtra), and to analyze the relationship between corneal epithelial thickness (CET) and corneal aberration.Methods:A cohort study was conducted.A total of 172 patients (172 eyes) who underwent FS-LASIK at Yinhai Eye Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were enrolled from June 2021 to February 2022.The 172 eyes were divided into FS-LASIK group (94 eyes) and FS-LASIK Xtra group (78 eyes) according to the surgical procedure, with a total follow-up of 6 months.The cornea was divided into a central 2-mm ring and a ring of 2-5 mm centered on the central cornea.CET at 9 regions in the central 0-5 mm area was measured by OCT before and at 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery, and the corneal higher-order aberration (HOA) was measured by the iTrace visual function analyzer.The main outcomes were the increase in CET (ΔCET), and corneal HOA at 6 months after surgery.The relationship between central corneal ΔCET and corneal aberration was analyzed.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Yinhai Eye Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (No.2021yh-009). Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:At 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery, the central, superior, superior nasal, nasal, inferior nasal, inferior, inferior temporal, temporal and superior temporal ΔCET were significantly smaller in FS-LASIK Xtra group than in FS-LASIK group (all at P<0.05). In FS-LASIK Xtra group, 6-month postoperative central, superior, superior nasal, inferior and inferior temporal ΔCET were significantly larger than those at 1 month after surgery, and 3- and 6-month postoperative temporal ΔCET were significantly larger than that at 1 month after surgery, and 6-month postoperative superior temporal ΔCET was significantly larger than those at 1 and 3 months after surgery (all at P<0.05). In FS-LASIK group, 3- and 6-month postoperative central, superior, inferior and inferior temporal ΔCET were significantly larger than those at 1 month after surgery, and 6-month postoperative superior nasal ΔCET was significantly larger than that at 3 months after surgery, and 6-month postoperative nasal, inferior nasal, temporal, superior temporal ΔCET were significantly larger than those at 1 and 3 months after surgery (all at P<0.05). There was no significant difference in vertical trefoil, vertical and horizontal coma changes at different time points after surgery between both groups (vertical trefoil: χ2group=4.27, P=0.118; χ2time=0.01, P>0.05.vertical coma: χ2group=5.74, P=0.057; χ2time=0.08, P=0.957.horizontal coma: χ2group=3.97, P=0.137; χ2time=0.51, P=0.773). The tilted trefoil changes at 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery of FS-LASIK Xtra group were significantly larger than those of FS-LASIK group (all at P<0.05). The 6-month spherical aberration change in FS-LASIK Xtra group was significantly higher than that at 1 month after surgery, and the 6-month spherical aberration change in FS-LASIK group was significantly higher than that at 1 and 3 months after surgery (all at P<0.05). The 6-month total HOA change in FS-LASIK group was significantly lower than that at 1 and 3 months after surgery (all at P<0.05). In FS-LASIK group, central corneal ΔCET was weakly positively correlated with spherical aberration at 1 and 6 months after surgery ( rs=0.257, P=0.008; rs=0.244, P=0.012), and was weakly positively correlated with total HOA ( rs=0.253, P=0.009; rs=0.279, P=0.004). Conclusions:The postoperative ΔCET after FS-LASIK Xtra is smaller than that after FS-LASIK, but the homogeneity of ΔCET in each region is similar between the two groups.The changes in corneal HOA after surgery are similar in both groups, and there is a certain association between the overall epithelial distribution and corneal aberration.

Glucagonoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor of α cells of the pancreas. The tumor excessively secretes glucagon and causes glucagonoma syndrome.70%-90% of patients with glucagonoma will develop necrolytic migratory erythema (NME). We reported a patient of glucagonoma syndrome who was presented to the dermatology outpatient clinic with a 2-year-history of recurrent erythema and scaling on the skin migrating throughout the body. A skin biopsy was performed and resulting features matched with NME, whilst imaging examinations suggested a soft tissue density tumor present in the tail of the pancreas with somatostatin receptor expression and laboratory tests found an elevated levels of serum glucagon. After the diagnosis was confirmed, the patient was treated with surgical resection of the glucagonoma and the skin eruptions resolved rapidly in 4 days. Meanwhile, we reviewed relevant literature published in recent years and summarized its clinical characteristics in order to improve its understanding by clinicians, including clinical manifestations, laboratory and imaging examinations, diagnosis and treatments.

Objective To analyze the disease constitution,accuracy of clinical and pathological diagnoses of skin biopsy samples in Peking Union Medical College Hospital.Methods A total of 29987 patients subjected to skin biopsy were collected from Department of Dermatology,Peking Union Medical College Hospital from June 2010 to November 2018,and clinical and histopathological diagnoses of these skin biopsy samples were analyzed retrospectively.Results According to the results of histopathological diagnosis,confirmed diagnoses of these patients could be classified into 33 categories and 242 kinds.Common disease categories included epidermal tumors (2931 cases,9.77％),connective tissue diseases (2809 cases,9.37％),melanocytic tumors (2078 cases,6.93％),erythematous scaly pustular dermatoses (1376 cases,4.59％),lichenoid dermatoses (1291cases,4.31％),allergic or eczematous skin diseases (1282 cases,4.28％)and infectious skin diseases (1156 cases,3.86％).Common skin diseases included scleroderma (1887 cases,6.29％),pigmented nevus (1755 cases,5.85％),seborrheic keratosis (1136 cases,3.79％),eczema (1089 cases,3.63％),psoriasis (881 cases,2.94％),lichen planus (867 cases,2.89％),lupus erythematosus (638 cases,2.13％),pemphigus (549 cases,1.83％),and basal cell carcinoma (501 cases,1.67％).Poor consistency was observed between clinical diagnosis and histopathological diagnosis of lichen planus,bullous pemphigoid,granuloma annulare and hypereosinophilic dermatitis.Conclusions Common disease categories of the skin biopsy samples in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were epidermal tumors,connective tissue diseases,melanocytic tumors,erythematous scaly pustular dermatoses,lichenoid dermatoses,and allergic or eczematous skin diseases.Poor consistency was observed between clinical and pathological diagnosis in some skin diseases,and understanding of these diseases should be improved.

Objective To investigate the features of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). Method Skin lesions,systemic involvement,imaging characteristics,laboratory tests,immunophenotying,treatment response,and survival of 122 LCH patients treated at our center from February 1983 to August 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Results LCH was associated with diverse skin lesions. Lung was the most involved organ,followed by bone,skin,lymph nodes,liver,spleen,oral cavity,and thyroid. Multisystem LCH was more common than single-system LCH. Single-system LCH was mostly treated by surgery,whereas multisystem LCH by combined chemotherapy. Conclusion LCH has diverse clinical manifestations,with lungs being the most often involved organ. Surgery or chemotherapy is the mainstream treatment.

Objective To describe common dermoscopic features of primary cutaneous amyloidosis (PCA),and to explore the application value of dermoscopy in assisting the diagnosis of PCA.Methods Seventeen patients with PCA were collected from Department of Dermatology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital between April 2014 and December 2016.A total of 45 skin lesions were subjected to dermoscopy,and their dermoscopic features were analyzed.Results The common dermoscopic features of PCA included central hubs,which could be white,brown or scar-like areas,various pigment structures and shiny white streaks.Dermoscopy showed that central hubs could be observed in all the lesions (100％),while white center hubs alone were observed in 14 (31％) lichenoid lesions,both white center hubs and scar -like areas in 5 (11％) lichenoid lesions,brown center hubs alone in 8 (18％) macular lesions,both white and brown center hubs in 6 (13％) lichenoid lesions and 17 (38％) macular lesions.All the lesions showed various pigment structures.Shiny white streaks were observed in 4 (9％) lichenoid lesions.Conclusion Dermoscopy has good application value in assisting the diagnosis of PCA.

Objective To report a pedigree with X?linked dominant protoporphyria(XLDPP), and to detect 5?aminolevulinic acid synthetase 2(ALAS2)gene mutations in this pedigree. Methods A clinical investigation was performed in a pedigree with XLDPP, and relevant data were collected from family members. A next?generation sequencing method was applied to screen possible mutation sites, and Sanger sequencing was performed to determine pathogenic gene mutations. Dermoscopy was conducted to observe skin lesions in the patients with XLDPP, and the Fotofinder system and very high frequency (VHF) ultrasound system were utilized to assess the severity of photodamage. Liver and gallbladder ultrasonography as well as blood examination were performed for all the family members. Results A deletion mutation, c.1706?1709ΔAGTG, was detected in the ALAS2 gene on the X chromosomes of all the patients in this family, which led to replacement or loss of 19-20 C?terminal residues through transcriptional frameshifting, and eventually caused an increase in ALAS2 activity. In the patients with XLDPP, skin photodamage was relatively severe;protoporphyrin?induced hepatobiliary damage was observed and aggravated with age;anemia and iron deficiency occurred sometimes. Conclusion The deletion mutation c.1706?1709ΔAGTG of the ALAS2 gene may be the underlying cause of XLDPP in this pedigree.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical PUVA treatment of refractory lesions of mycosis fungoides.

METHODSFrom January 2008 to 2014, a total of 10 patients (4 males and 6 females) with mycosis fungoides were treated with topical PUVA in Peking Union Medical College Hospital, including 7 cases in plaque stage and 3 cases in tumor stage. The average number of lesions were 1.9±0.9. The median age of these patients was (46.0±9.4) years. The average course of disease was (12.4±7.7) years. Psoralen was applied topically on treatment area 30 min before total body UVA irradiation treatment, 3 times a week. And the efficiency and safety of the therapy were evaluated.

RESULTSAll the patients were treated with topical PUVA with a median total dose of (161.60±135.96) J/cm2 in an average of (18.10±14.61) fractions. Total dose of UVA was (1 953.25±829.73) J/cm2, and total number of treatment was (261.90±116.79) fractions. The total treatment time was (45.80±26.64) months. Complete clinical response (CR) rate was 60.0%, partial response (PR) rate was 30.0%, and the overall response rate (CR+PR) was 90.0%. One patient showed no response. No severe acute or chronic side effects were observed.

CONCLUSIONTopical PUVA therapy is effective in the treatment of refractory lesions of mycosis fungoides with little severe side effects.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the inhibitory effect of classic demethylating drug 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CdR) on the growth of human lung adenocarcinoma cells in nude mouse xenograft models, and to observe its effect on methylation status and expression of TFPI-2 gene in the nude mouse xenograft tissues.

METHODSThe nude mouse xenograft model was established by subcutaneous inoculation of human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells. According to different doses of 5-Aza-CdR, the tumor-bearing nude mice were randomly divided into experimental groups (0.5 mg/kg group, 1 mg/kg group, 2 mg/kg group) and control group (0 mg/kg group). The tumor growth in the nude mice was observed. The methylation status and the expression of TFPI-2 gene mRNA and protein were detected by methylation specific polymerase chain reaction, real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot assay.

RESULTSThe nude mice were euthanized at 28 days after intraperitoneal injection of 5-Aza-CdR. The body weight of tumor-bearing nude mice was (27.12 ± 0.38) g in the 0 mg/kg group, (26.80 ± 0.18) g in the 0.5 mg/kg group, (26.67 ± 0.28) g in the 1 mg/kg group, and (26.50 ± 0.26) g in the 2 mg/kg group, showing no significant difference among them (P > 0.05). The volume of xenograft tumors in the 0 mg/kg group was (709.22 ± 2.87)mm³, (400.67 ± 2.68)mm³ in the 0.5 mg/kg group, (285.71 ± 2.91)mm³ in the 1 mg/kg group, and (230.44 ± 3.15)mm³ in the 2 mg/kg group, showing a significant difference (P < 0.05). There were complete methylation of TFPI-2 gene in the 0 mg/kg group, incomplete methylation in the 0.5 and 1 mg/kg groups, and unmethylation in the 2 mg/kg group. The relative mRNA level in the 0, 0.5, 1, 2 mg/kg groups were 1.00 ± 0.00, 1.67 ± 0.07, 3.40 ± 0.24, and 5.55 ± 0.61, respectively (P < 0.05). The relative expression level of TFPI-2 protein in the 0, 0.5, 1, 2 mg/kg groups was 0.18 ± 0.02, 0.36 ± 0.01, 0.64 ± 0.02, and 0.81 ± 0.20, respectively (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS5-Aza-CdR suppresses the tumor growth of human lung adenocarcinoma cells in nude mouse xenograft models, and induces expression of TFPI-2 gene in the xenograft tumor cells. The mechanism might be that 5-Aza-CdR induces re-expression of demethylated TFPI-2 gene by demethylation, and thus inhibits the growth and proliferation of human lung adenocarcinoma cells.
