Porocarcinoma coexisting at a site of Bowen disease in a 63‐year‐old woman

Porocarcinoma is an unusual, locally aggressive and potentially fatal neoplasm. Several cutaneous malignancies have been described in association with porocarcinoma, including squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma and tricholemmal carcinoma. Previous reports have indicated that the occurrence of malignant tumours in combination with porocarcinoma is extremely rare, in particular with regard to Bowen disease (BD). We report an uncommon case of porocarcinoma occurring synchronously in a single BD lesion in a 63‐year‐old woman with multiple BD lesions. The clinical and histological findings confirmed this diagnosis.     

A comparison of the relationships between psychosocial factors,occupational strain,and work ability among 4 ethnic teacher groups in China

The present study compared the level of occupational strain and work ability among Han, Hui, Uygur, Hui, and Kazakh teachers, and explored ethnic differences based on the associations of psychosocial factors at work, occupational strain, and work ability. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 2,941 teachers in primary and secondary schools in Xinjiang Province, China. Psychosocial factors, occupational strain, and work ability were measured using the Occupation Stress Inventory—Revised Edition (OSI-R) and Work Ability Index. Han and Hui teachers experienced reduced work ability compared with Uygur and Kazakh teachers, and this finding was caused, in part, by exposure to psychosocial factors at work. The vocational and psychological strains caused by these factors play an important role in reduced work ability among all ethnic teacher groups. The findings indicate the importance of taking action to reduce occupational strain for promoting teachers' work ability in multiethnic workplaces.     

葛根素联合复方樟柳碱注射液对眼底病患者的治疗效果及对血液流变学指标的影响

目的研究葛根素联合复方樟柳碱注射液对眼底病患者的治疗效果及对血液流变学指标的影响。方法选择2013年4月至2014年4月在绵阳市第三人民医院眼科进行眼底病治疗的患者100例,并按入院顺序抽签随机分为观察组和对照组,各50例。对照组进行葛根素常规治疗(葛根素注射液0.4 g加入生理盐水250 m L中静脉滴注,每日1次,1个疗程14 d,1个疗程后停药3 d,再进行下一疗程),观察组在此基础上联合复方樟柳碱注射液进行治疗(采用复方樟柳碱2 m L在患者颞浅动脉旁行皮下注射,每日1次,1个疗程14 d,完成1个疗程后停药3 d,再换肾俞穴进行注射,1个疗程后停药3 d,再进行第一个疗程的用药)。3个疗程后,比较两组患者治疗前后血液流变学的变化、术后复发率和不良反应情况及患者的治疗效果。结果治疗后,观察组全血黏度为(4.82±0.41)m Pa·s明显低于对照组的(5.56±0.39)m Pa·s,红细胞聚集指数(3.80±0.41)明显低于对照组(4.77±0.55),纤维蛋白原(4.20±0.24)g/L明显低于对照组(5.25±0.43)g/L,差异均有统计学意义(t=9.247,9.998,15.077,P<0.01);观察组患者治疗后复发率为2.0%(1/50),不良反应的总发生率为4.0%(2/50),分别低于对照组14.0%(7/50)和18.0%(9/50)(P<0.01);观察组患者的总有效率为98.0%(49/50),显著高于对照组的82.0%(41/50)(P<0.05)。结论葛根素和复方樟柳碱注射液联合治疗眼底病患者,可改善患者血液流变学,并提高临床治疗效果。
