目的 系统评价神经内镜与显微镜下经鼻蝶入路手术切除无功能性垂体腺瘤的疗效和安全性。方法 计算机检索PubMed 、Embase、Cochrane Center、中国生物医学文献数据库、维普中文科技期刊全文数据库、万方数据库、中国知网等中英文数据库有关神经内镜、显微镜下经鼻蝶入路无功能性垂体腺瘤切除术的文献，时限为2018年7月之前。指标包括肿瘤切除率、脑脊液渗漏发生率和视力恢复率。结果 共纳入19篇文献，2 383例。Meta分析结果:神经内镜手术全切除率比显微镜手术要高（75% vs 62%，P<0.001），神经内镜组视力恢复率也高于显微镜组（82% vs 59%，P<0.001）。两组脑脊液漏发生率无统计学差异（4%vs 6%，P=0.078）。结论 与显微镜下手术相比，神经内镜手术切除无功能性垂体腺瘤的疗效更好。     

Successful Treatment of Genital Warts with Ingenol Mebutate Monitored with Optical Coherence Tomography and Reflectance Confocal Microscopy

Ingenol mebutate (IM) is approved for the treatment of actinic keratosis and induces cell death in precancerous lesions. The efficacy of IM in the treatment of genital warts was investigated in a therapy-refractory patient. The 74-year-old male was treated with IM gel for three consecutive days. Treatment course and efficacy were evaluated by clinical inspection and non-invasive diagnostics namely optical coherence tomography (OCT) and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM). Within 24 to 48 hours IM induced a strong local inflammatory reaction. One week later a complete response was observed. OCT and RCM showed a strong reaction after treatment with erosions, swelling of cells, and a subepidermal dark band in representative lesions. IM has the advantage of a short treatment period in contrast to other topical treatments and shows a promising clinical outcome. Larger studies are needed to validate the data.     

Scanning electron microscopy of panitumumab-induced eyelash and hair alterations – Pili canaliculi

Panitumumab is a monoclonal antibody against the epidermal growth factor receptor used in metastatic colorectal cancer; in addition to tumor cells, it acts on epidermal keratinocytes and on the outer root sheath and presents skin toxicity in up to 90% of cases. A scanning electron microscope was used to examine the eyelashes and hairs of a 65-year-old patient with eyelash trichomegaly, curly hair, and paronychia undergoing treatment with panitumumab. Grooving in the hair shafts were identified, which were more evident in the eyelashes. Similar to oral epidermal growth factor inhibitors (erlotinib and gefitinib), panitumumab can cause acquired pili canaliculi.     

文眉致白癜风七例

【摘要】 目的 报道文眉所致白癜风7例。方法 收集2017年12月至2019年5月河南省人民医院皮肤科诊治的7例文眉引起的白癜风，回顾其临床特点。结果 7例患者文眉后1个月至1年出现数根眉毛变白，早期均表现为眉毛变白，眉部皮肤正常，眉周逐渐出现白斑，边界不清。眉部皮损反射式共聚焦扫描显微镜特征：基底层及毛囊周围色素缺失，真皮浅、中层可见高折光无定形物（色料）。斑贴试验：文眉色料均为阴性，十二醇硫酸钠均呈阳性。结论 文眉后引起的白癜风，早期眉部皮肤未见色素减退斑，结合眉部皮损反射式共聚焦扫描显微镜特征可减少误诊。     

反射性共聚焦显微镜对早期蕈样肉芽肿定位诊断与疗效监测的研究

【摘要】 目的 分析早期蕈样肉芽肿（MF）皮损的反射性共聚焦显微镜（RCM）与组织病理学特征的一致性，探讨RCM作为病理学诊断早期MF的辅助价值及动态监测治疗反应的可行性。方法 2014年1月至2018年1月在杭州市第三人民医院皮肤科门诊收集临床疑诊MF病例40例，男26例，女14例，年龄（47.0 ± 17.6）岁。根据总结的早期MF的RCM特征，对活检部位进行初步定位后行组织病理学检查，对比MF的RCM与病理特征。对MF确诊病例进行窄谱中波紫外线联合干扰素治疗，运用RCM对靶向皮损跟踪随访，9个月后评价疗效。结果 在40例临床疑诊MF病例中，根据RCM特征初步诊断典型MF 8例，疑似MF18例，排除14例；根据MF病理学特征诊断典型MF12例，疑似14例，排除14例。一致性分析显示，RCM特征分类与病理诊断结果的Kappa系数为0.848，P < 0.01。RCM与组织病理学特征之间表皮低折光细胞浸润的相关性最高（Kappa系数 = 1，P = 0.005），其次是红斑期的真皮纤维化（Kappa系数 = 0.714，P = 0.035）。MF的RCM特征随着治疗的进行逐步恢复正常，但直至临床皮损完全缓解，非典型淋巴细胞依然存在。结论 RCM技术可用于早期疑诊MF皮损的病理取材定位，同时可尝试作为一种动态监测MF疗效的方法。     

Visualization of microneuromas by using in vivo confocal microscopy: An objective biomarker for the diagnosis of neuropathic corneal pain?

PurposeThe diagnosis of neuropathic corneal pain (NCP) is challenging, as it is often difficult to differentiate it from conventional dry eye disease (DED). In addition to eye pain, NCP can present with similar signs and symptoms of DED. The purpose of this study is to find an objective diagnostic sign to identify patients with NCP, using in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM).MethodsThis was a comparative, retrospective, case-control study. Patients with clinical diagnosis of NCP (n = 25), DED (n = 30), and age- and sex-matched healthy controls (n = 16), who underwent corneal imaging with IVCM (HRT3/RCM) were included. Central corneal IVCM scans were analyzed by 2 masked observers for nerve density and number, presence of microneuromas (terminal enlargements of subbasal corneal nerve) and/or nerve beading (bead-like formation along the nerves), and dendritiform cell (DC) density.ResultsThere was a decrease in total nerve density in both NCP (14.14 ± 1.03 mm/mm²) and DED patients (12.86 ± 1.04 mm/mm²), as compared to normal controls (23.90 ± 0.92 mm/mm²; p < 0.001). However, total nerve density was not statistically different between NCP and DED patients (p = 0.63). Presence of nerve beading was not significantly different between patients and normal controls (p = 0.15). Interestingly, microneuromas were observed in all patients with NCP, while they were not present in any of the patients with conventional DED (sensitivity and specificity of 100%). DC density was significantly increased in both NCP (71.89 ± 16.91 cells/mm²) and DED patients (111.5 ± 23.86 cells/mm²), as compared to normal controls (24.81 ± 4.48 cells/mm² (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in DC density between DED and NCP patients (p = 0.31).ConclusionIVCM may be used as an adjunct diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of NCP in the presence of neuropathic symptoms. Microneuromas may serve as a sensitive and specific biomarker for the diagnosis of NCP.
