Insights on Skin Quality and Clinical Practice Trends in Asia Pacific and a Practical Guide to Good Skin Quality from the Inside Out

ObjectiveWe sought to examine the current skin quality trends and gaps in clinical practice in the Asia Pacific region and develop a practical guide to improve skin quality.MethodsMedical practitioners from 11 countries in the Asia Pacific region completed an online survey on current trends in skin quality treatment. A panel of 12 leading experts convened for a virtual meeting to develop a practical guide for skin quality improvement.ResultsA total of 153 practitioners completed the survey. The four most common skin quality issues were uneven skin tone, skin surface unevenness, skin laxity, and sebaceous gland hyperactivity and enlarged pores. Most practitioners reported using a combination of treatment modalities for each skin quality issue. It was also observed that each treatment modality could be used to treat several skin quality issues. A multimodal approach targeting different interrelated issues across the tissue planes was recommended for balanced results. The panel developed a practical guide for the appropriate combinations and sequence of treatments, and created treatment protocols for specific skin quality outcome goals. The guide employed an “inside-out” approach, treating the deeper tissue planes prior to the superficial layers to achieve harmonious results.LimitationsFuture studies are needed to support the recommended treatment protocols for skin quality improvement.ConclusionThese findings provide valuable insights on current skin quality trends and gaps in clinical practice. The practical guide provides a framework for practitioners to customize their treatment plan according to each patient’s needs.

高白细胞性白血病接受白细胞清除术的疗效及安全性研究

白细胞增多是白血病的主要表现之一,部分白血病患者外周血WBC可达100×109/L以上,一方面提示肿瘤负荷高、预后不佳,另一方面亦可引起白细胞淤滞、肿瘤溶解综合征等并发症,增加白血病早期病死率。该类患者(除急性早幼粒细胞白血病外)通常推荐行白细胞清除术,从而迅速降低患者肿瘤负荷及相关并发症风险[1]。急性髓系白血病(AML)、急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)和慢性髓性白血病(CML)是主要的白血病类型,由于白血病细胞来源不同、分布差异、形态各异,白细胞清除效果亦可能存在差异。我们在临床工作中发现,慢性白血病患者白细胞清除效果较急性患者差,但目前尚无大样本比较数据。本研究中我们比较了AML、ALL和CML患者白细胞清除效果,以及清除相关的血液与非血液学不良反应。

目的探讨六西格玛管理法对急性心源性心脏骤停患者心肺复苏成功率及血流动力学的影响。方法将161例急性心源性心脏骤停患者按照收治时间分为对照组75例与研究组86例。抢救期间对照组采用常规急救管理干预,研究组采用六西格玛管理法进行急救管理干预,观察24h。比较两组复苏成功率。复苏前及复苏24h、比较两组中心静脉血氧饱和度、血清乳酸水平、排尿量及血流动力学指标水平,比较两组护理满意度。结果研究组复苏成功率显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。复苏24h两组中心静脉血氧饱和度显著高于复苏前(P<0.01),乳酸水平显著低于复苏前(P<0.01),排尿量显著多于复苏前(P<0.01),研究组较对照组变化更显著(P<0.01)。复苏24h两组血流动力学指标水平均较复苏前显著升高(P<0.01),研究组与对照组比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。研究组护理总满意率显著高于对照组(P<0.01)。结论六西格玛管理法可有效提高急性心源性心脏骤停心肺复苏患者复苏成功率,提高中心静脉血氧饱和度和排尿量,降低血清乳酸水平,改善血流动力学指标水平,患者满意度高,值得临床...     

Simultaneous quantification of apolipoproteins A-I,E, and J in human plasma by LC-MS/MS for clinical application to diabetes mellitus complicated with cardiovascular disease

Apolipoproteins (Apos) play an important role in regulating plasma lipid concentration. Complex disorders of Apos are highly related with diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular and other diseases. Direct measures of lipoprotein fractions for risk assessment suffer from inaccuracy in the dyslipidemia and pathological states. Therefore, a reliable precise assay will be of high clinical utility. LC-MS/MS methods with multiple reaction monitoring modes have proven suitable for multiplexed quantification. We aimed to develop a simple, cost-effective and amenable LC-MS/MS assay for quantification of ApoA-I, ApoE and ApoJ in human plasma. Standards were constructed from substitute matrix and proteotypic peptides for external calibration and corresponding stable isotope labeled peptides were added as internal standards to remove matrix effects. Analytical validation of the assay included the assessment of linearity, accuracy (RE: −3.02% to 5.32%), intra-assay precision (RSD: 2.50% to 6.56%), inter-assay precision (RSD: 0.78% to 6.68%), spiking recovery rate (accuracy: 87.17% to 112.71%), matrix effect (accuracy: 88.03% to 114.87%), and reproducibility and repeatability of sample preparation (RSD: 1.95% to 7.26%). The performance of proteotypic peptides ApoA-I, ApoE and ApoJ was sufficient for triplex quantitation within a linear range from 16.26 to 1626.41 pmol mL⁻¹, 1.03 to 103.35 pmol mL⁻¹ and 0.86 to 86.46 pmol mL⁻¹ respectively. For all quantified peptides, the determination coefficient (R²) was >0.997. Besides, the validated LC-MS/MS method has been successfully applied to the quantification of plasma samples in diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. We anticipate that this assay may provide an alternative method for future clinical applications.
