ABSTRACT
The clinical data of 7 patients with porokeratosis (PK) were analyzed retrospectively.In 7 PK patients, 4 cases were disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis (DSAP),1 case was disseminated superficial porokeratosis (DSP),1 case was giant porokeratosis (GP) and 1 case was hypertrophic porokeratosis (HP).The characteristic cutaneous manifestations were annular well-circumscribed keratotic plaques with slightly atrophic center and elevated border.All patients shared a common histological hallmark, the cornoid lamella.Four cases of DSAP patients had family medical history, consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance.DSP, GP and HP patients denied family medical history.Diagnosis of PK should be based on clinical manifestations, family medical history and histopathological examination.
ABSTRACT
Serum triglyceride ( TG ) , total cholesterol ( TC ) , low density lipoprotein cholesterol ( LDL-C) , high density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C) , uric acid ( UA) levels and fasting blood glucose ( FBG) were measured in 67 patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria ( CSU ) and 66 healthy subjects ( controls).Results showed that the rates of increased serum TG and FBG levels in CSU patients were higher than those in controls ( 19% vs.6%,χ2 =5.309, P 0.05).The rate of rising FBG in CSU patients accompanied by angioedema(4/9)was higher than that in CSU patients without angioedema(7%,χ2 =7.181,P<0.05).
