准分子激光治疗白癜风的临床疗效与安全性研究

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of 308 nm excimer laser in the treatment of different types of vitiligo at different stages. Methods A total of 128 patients with vitiligo, who had 317 depigmented patches, were recruited in this study and treated with 308 nm excimer laser once a week for at least 8 weeks. The degree of repigmentation was evaluated and adverse effects were recorded at the end of every treatment and last treatment. Results All patients received efficacy and safety evaluation. Of the 317 patches, 97.5% achieved repigmentation at different degrees, 71.8% got more than 25% repigmentation, and 50.8% got more than 75% repigmentation. The degree of repigmentation increased with the number of treatments. A better response was observed in the lesions on the face and neck than those on the mink and limbs, and in short-duration (<1 year) lesions than in long-duration (≥1 year) lesions. And the lesions on extremities and mueosa showed a poorer response compared with those at other sites. There was no statistical difference in clinical efficacy between active vitiligo and stable vitiligo, or between adults and children. Moreover, the treatment was well tolerated. Conclusion 308 nm excimer laser is effective in the treatment of vitiligo with rapid onset, favorable tolerability and few adverse effects.

Malignant melanoma in the pediatric population

Controversial pigmented lesions in children are a problem for pathologist, clinicians and families that are confronted with this dilemma. Some skin lesions in this population defy diagnosis with pathologists split between a benign diagnosis and a cancer diagnosis. Three cases of controversial pigmented lesions in the pediatric population are presented. Three patients underwent radical resection of the controversial pigmented lesion, intra-operative lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node(SLN) biopsy. Due to the low morbidity of the SLN procedure a case is made to perform lymphatic mapping in this clinical scenario. If the SLNs are negative, not much is lost except for the scar and this becomes another line of evidence that perhaps the original lesion was benign. If the SLN shows metastatic cells, then the original skin lesion must be malignant and the patient is offered stage Ⅲ recommendations that would include complete node dissections and adjuvant Interferon therapy. This strategy provides for adequate treatment of the worse-case scenario, that the skin lesion is malignant. The cost to the patient is a low morbidity procedure, the SLN biopsy.

Epidemiology and control and curable sexually transmitted diseases: opportunities and problems

BACKGROUND: Despite the availability of safe and effective treatment, infection with bacterial sexually transmitted diseases persists at a high prevalence in many populations. GOAL: To review the difficulties of parameter estimation when a cure is readily available and to explore the impact of different treatment and screening strategies that might maximize the benefits of using available treatments. STUDY DESIGN: A standard deterministic model for the spread of a bacterial sexually transmitted disease that causes symptomatic and asymptomatic infections, in which the population is stratified according to sex and sexual activity, is further stratified into two host groups to enable the modeling of different treatment and screening strategies. RESULTS: In the presence of a core group, if an infection has a high transmission probability, then screening for asymptomatic infections has a short-lived benefit. Repeated screening is slightly better if it is not restricted to a fraction of the at-risk population, but targeting of high-risk groups should be effective. Screening to treat asymptomatic infections in men could be beneficial if a substantial fraction of cases remain asymptomatic. CONCLUSIONS: After the initial gains achieved through treating symptomatic infections, further reductions in the prevalence of infections can be achieved by finding asymptomatic infections. However, these gains are difficult to achieve, especially in the case of gonorrhea. Because men are likely to have an asymptomatic chlamydial infection, screening of men for chlamydia should be worthwhile.
