Clinical efficacy of 1 064 nm/755 nm dual wavelength laser on hair removal / 中华医学美学美容杂志

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of 1 064 nm/755 nm dual wavelength laser on hair removal.Methods:A total of 60 patients aged 18-52 (30±7) years in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2017 were collected. 1 064 nm and 755 nm laser hair removal was performed at the same symmetrical areas or two different areas in the same patient. We performed 6 sessions of laser treatment at 6-week intervals and the effect was evaluated 6 weeks after the last session.Results:The hair removal efficacy was 96.7% (58 cases) at 1 064 nm, 96.7% (58 cases) at 755 nm laser treatment. There was no significant difference in the effective rate between two wavelengths laser hair removal methods ( P>0.05). The incidence of pigmentation was 1.7% (1 case) at 1 064 nm laser and was 3.3% (2 cases) at 755 nm laser without significant difference ( P>0.05). No hypopigmentation, blister or scar appeared in all patients. The total satisfactory rate was 95.0% (57 cases) at 1 064 nm, 98.3% (59 cases) at 755 nm laser treatment, respectively. Conclusions:1 064 nm/755 nm dual wavelength laser has definite therapeutic effect and safety on hair removal.

Clinical effectiveness of photodynamic therapy combined with oral isotretinoin for moderate to severe facial acne / 中华医学美学美容杂志

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of photodynamic therapy (PDT) combined with oral isotretinoin in the treatment of moderate to severe acne.Methods:Ninty patients with moderate and severe acne [42 males and 48 females; aged 18-35 (23.98±4.25)] in the Department of Dermatology, China Japan Friendship Hospital of Jilin University from January to June, 2018, were divided into three groups: PDT combined with isotretinoin group (combined group), PDT group and isotretinoin group, with 30 patients in each group. The curative effect was evaluated on the 30th and 60th day of the treatment and the follow-up was carried out regularly.Results:At 10, 20, and 30 days of the treatment, the clearance rates of non-inflammatory skin lesions and total skin lesions were better than that of the PDT group; the clearance rates of inflammatory, non-inflammatory and total skin lesions in the combined group were better than those of the isotretinoin group. At 30 days of treatment, the efficacy of the combined group was better than that of the PDT group (χ 2=13.169, P<0.05) and isotretinoin group (χ 2=19.606, P<0.05). The treatment course of the combined group was shorter than that of the PDT group ( P<0.05). Six months after the treatment, the recurrence rate of the combined group was lower than that of the isotretinoin group (χ 2=4.941, P<0.05). And there was no significant difference of the incidence of adverse reactions between the above two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The combination of photodynamic therapy and oral isotretinoin therapy for moderate to severe acne can improve the efficacy, shorten the course of treatment, and reduce the recurrence rate and adverse reactions, which provides a new idea for the treatment of acne.

Evaluation on curative efficacy and safety of red-blue light irradiation combined with Xihuang Capsules in treatment of moderate to severe acne vulgaris / 吉林大学学报(医学版)

Objective: To evaluate the clinical therapeutic efficacy and safety of red-blue light irradiation combined with Xihuang Capsules in the treatment of moderate to severe acne vulgaris.Methods:Eighty patients with moderate to severe acne vulgaris were randomly divided into Xihuang Capsules group (control group)and red-blue light irradiation combined with Xihuang Capsules group (observation group).The patients in observation group were treated with red-blue light irradiation (20 min biw,4 weeks)combined with Xihuang Capsules (1.5 g bid,4 weeks),while the patients in control group took only Xihuang Capsules orally (1.5 g bid,4 weeks),The changes of skin lesions and adverse reactions were observed and the curative efficacies were compared at 2 or 4 weeks after treatment.Results:After 2-week-treatment,the total effective rate in observation group was 67.5% while the total effective rate in control group was 52.5%,there was no statistically significant difference between two groups (P >0.05).The regression number of inflammatory and non-inflammatory skin lesions in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group (P <0.05).After 4-week-treatment,the total effective rate in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group (85.0% vs 65.0% ),and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05);the regression number of inflammatory and non-inflammatory skin lesions in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group (P <0.05).During the treatment,there were no severe adverse reactions in two groups.Mild headache and nausea occurred in observation group after red-blue light irradiation,but the above symptoms disappeared after reducing the irradiation dose.Conclusion:Red-blue light irradiation combined with Xihuang Capsules in the treatment of moderate to severe acne is proved to be a significantly effective and safe method,and it is worth to be promoted in clinic.

Analysis of sites of Toxoplasma gondii SAG2 gene in blood of HIV-positive people in Lincang City,Yunnan Province / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

Objective To preliminarily understand the genotype characteristics of Toxoplasma gondii in blood of HIV?posi?tive persons in Lincang City,Yunnan Province. Method Two segments of SAG2 gene of T. gondii from blood samples of HIV?positive persons in Lincang City were extracted and amplified by using the nested PCR method and the genotype was identified and compared with the standard strain(Type I)of Toxoplasma gondii. Results Thirty?five SAG2 genes(241 bp)and 35 SAG2 genes(221 bp)of T. gondii were amplified from 170 blood samples of the HIV?positive people,and 4 of each case were selected and digested with enzyme,then 2 aim gene fragments of each case were chosen and compared with the standard strain (Type I)of T. gondii. The digestion of SAG2 gene(241 bp)showed the genotype of the blood samples was Type I or Type II, and the digestion of SAG2 gene(221 bp)confirmed that the genotype was Type I. Conclusion It is preliminarily confirmed that the genotype of T. gondii in blood of HIV?positive persons in Lincang City,Yunnan Province is Type I.

Comparation of Toxoplasma gondii separated from HIV-positive people and RH strain GRA6 gene / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

Objective To comparatively analyze Toxoplasma gondii separated from HIV-positive people and RH strain GRA6 gene. Methods By using the nested PCR the amplification of Dali HIV-positive blood samples and RH strains of Toxo-plasma GRA6 genome was performed. The GRA6 gene amplification positive product was selected and the electrophoresis imag-ing was performed by being digested with the Mse I endonuclease and the gene sequences were measured and analyzed. Re-sults The GRA6 gene fragment 800 bp was successfully amplified and about 600 bp and 200 bp bands were got by Mse I. The sequencing results showed that T. gondii GRA6 gene positive samples had 2 nucleotide variation compared with T. gondii strain RH namely 447 base pair at C becoming G and 623 base pair at G becoming T. At 146 bp and 690 bp the Mse I restric-tion sites TTAA were found. Conclusion The preliminary judgment shows that the Dali HIV-positive T. gondii genotype is consistent with RH strain belonging to genotype I.
