ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical effects and complications of different period cranioplasty after decompressive craniectomy in patients with craniocerebral injury.Methods The clinical data of 96 craniocerebral injury patients who had underwent decompressive craniectomy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College from January 2014 to January 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the different time of cranioplasty,the patients were divided into early group and routine group.In the early group,50 patients received cranioplasty between 1.5 to 3.0 months after decompressive craniectomy;while in the conventional group,46 patients received cranioplasty between 3.1 to 6.0 months after decompressive craniectomy.The complications after cranioplasty were observed in 2 groups,and Glasgow outcome score (GOS) and Karnofsky performance score (KPS) before cranioplasty and 3,6 and 12 months after cranioplasty were recorded.Results There were no statistical difference in delayed wound healing,subcutaneous hydrops,incision infection,hydrocephalus,intracranial hemorrhage and total incidence of complications between 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05).However,the incidence of postoperative epilepsy in early group was significantly lower than that in routine group:0 vs.8.70％ (4/46),and there was statistical difference (P ＜ 0.05).There were no statistical differences in GOS and KPS before cranioplasty between 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05);the GOS and KPS 3,6 and 12 months after cranioplasty in early group were significantly higher than those in routine group,GOS:(3.58 ± 0.64) scores vs.(3.20 ± 0.74) scores,(3.90 ± 0.58) scores vs.(3.61 ± 0.61) scores and (4.22 ± 0.55) scores vs.(3.98 ± 0.45) scores;KPS:(56.20 ± 8.55) scores vs.(52.17 ± 7.86) scores,(68.40 ± 9.12) scores vs.(63.91 ± 10.22) scores and (75.20 ± 9.31) scores vs.(70.43 ± 10.53) scores,and there were statistical differences (P＜0.01 or ＜0.05).Conclusions Early cranioplasty after decompressive craniectomy in patients with craniocerebral injury can not only reduce the incidence of postoperative epilepsy,but also be more conducive to the recovery of postoperative neurological function and improve the prognosis of patients.

ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the histopathological characteristics of tumors arising in nevus sebaceous.Methods The clinical and pathological data on 16 patients with tumors arising in nevus sebaceous were collected and retrospectively reviewed.Histopathological characteristics were analyzed.Results Of the 16 patients,12 aged ≥ 18 years,4 aged 11 to 17 years; 7 had syringocystadenoma papilliferum(SCAP),4 tubular apocrine adenoma (TAA),3 trichilemmoma,2 basal cell carcinoma (BCC),1 porokeratotic eccrine ostial and dermal duct nevus,and 1 nevus flammeus.Six patients suffered from more than one kind of tumor,of these tumors,concurrent syringocystadenoma papilliferum and apocrine adenoma predominated and were observed in 4 of these patients.Conclusion Any tumor arising from nevus sebaceous should be closely followed up.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical and histological characteristics of trichilemmal carcinoma (TLC). Methods A clinicopathological analysis of 13 cases of TLC was carried out. Results There were 9 males and 4 females among the 13 patients with TLC who were aged from 34 to 87 years (mean: 70 years). Clinically, the tumor presented as an exophytic mass; histologically, it was characterized by the proliferation of epithelial cells and keratinization of outer root sheath. Cytologically atypical clear cells predominated in the tumor tissue. Microscopy revealed different growth patterns of tumor cells, which included solid growth pattern, tobular pattern and trabecular pattern. Periodic acid Schiff (PAS) stain demonstrated clear cells in all the tumor tissues from the 13 patients. Immunohistochemistry was performed in tissue samples from 6 patients, and showed that these samples were positive to high molecular weight cytokeratin (CK-HMW) and epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), but negative to carcinomebrynic antigen (CEA), S-100, cytokeratin 8 (CK8)and epithelial antigen(Ber-Ep4). Follow-up over 4 months to 5 years revealed neither recurrence nor metastasis in 9 cases.Conclusions TLC is a low-grade malignancy of skin adnexal tumor without distinctive clinical features, and should be differentiated from other malignant clear cell tumors of the skin.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the association of imbalance of Tc1 and Tc2 cells with chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD). Methods Immunohistochemistry (S-P method) was used to test the subgroups of infiltrating cells and the expression of receptors of interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-10 (IL-10), interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interferon-? (IFN-?) in these cells of the eruptions from 28 patients with CAD and 7 normal controls. The serum levels of IL-4, IL-10, IL-12 and IFN-? from 33 patients with CAD and 32 normal controls were tested by ELISA. Results The major infiltrating cells in the eruptions of patients with CAD were T cells, which were significantly more than B cells (P
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of different ultraviolet on HaCaT and offer experimental evidences for further studies of the pathogenesis of photodermatitis. Methods Using different dose of UVA and UVB to irradiate HaCaT cell line respectively. 12 hours later, the morphology of HaCaT cells was observed and the sum was calculated. Results The cell linkage was loose and the refraction was weak with some dead cells. The effect of large dosage of UVB was more obvious. Conclusions the effects on keratinocyte after UV exposure are different according to the dose of irradiation, which offers experimental evidences for the further study of the pathogenesis of photodermatitis.
