Mechanisms of repigmentation induced by photobiomodulation therapy in vitiligo

Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy is based on the exposure of biological tissues to low‐level laser light (coherent light) or light‐emitting diodes (LEDs; noncoherent light), leading to the modulation of cellular functions, such as proliferation and migration, which result in tissue regeneration. PBM therapy has important clinical applications in regenerative medicine. Vitiligo is an acquired depigmentary disorder resulting from disappearance of functional melanocytes in the involved skin. Vitiligo repigmentation depends on available melanocytes derived from (a) melanocyte stem cells located in the bulge area of hair follicles and (b) the epidermis at the lesional borders, which contains a pool of functional melanocytes. Since follicular melanoblasts (MBs) are derived from the melanocyte stem cells residing at the bulge area of hair follicle, the process of vitiligo repigmentation presents a research model for studying the regenerative effect of PBM therapy. Previous reports have shown favourable response for treatment of vitiligo with a low‐energy helium‐neon (He‐Ne) laser. This review focuses on the molecular events that took place during the repigmentation process of vitiligo triggered by He‐Ne laser (632.8 nm, red light). Monochromatic radiation in the visible and infrared A (IRA) range sustains matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), improves mitochondrial function, and increases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis and O₂ consumption, which lead to cellular regenerative pathways. Cytochrome c oxidase in the mitochondria was reported to be the photoacceptor upon which He‐Ne laser exerts its effects. Mitochondrial retrograde signalling is responsible for the cellular events by red light. This review shows that He‐Ne laser initiated mitochondrial retrograde signalling via a Ca²⁺‐dependent cascade. The impact on cytochrome c oxidase within the mitochondria, an event that results in activation of CREB (cyclic‐AMP response element binding protein)‐related cascade, is responsible for the He‐Ne laser promoting functional development at different stages of MBs and boosting functional melanocytes. He‐Ne laser irradiation induced (a) melanocyte stem cell differentiation; (b) immature outer root sheath MB migration; (c) differentiated outer root sheath MB melanogenesis and migration; and (d) perilesional melanocyte migration and proliferation. These photobiomodulation effects result in perifollocular and marginal repigmentation in vitiligo.

细胞色素P450及其与脑内胆红素的氧化代谢的研究进展

细胞色素P450(CYP)是混合功能氧化酶超家族中含有血红素的膜蛋白,可对各种外源性物质包括药物、致癌物和其他化合物及内源性底物(如类固醇、脂肪酸、前列腺素和胆红素等)进行生物转化。非结合胆红素能通过血脑屏障,当脑内胆红素水平过高,就会产生神经毒性。正常情况下,胆红素在肝内代谢,CYP是主要代谢酶之一。CYP在脑内同样存在,并且能够代谢胆红素,减轻胆红素引起的神经元的损伤。     

慢传输型便秘对结直肠癌术后吻合口瘘发生的影响及原因探讨

目的:分析慢传输型便秘对结直肠癌术后吻合口瘘发生的影响及原因。方法:回顾性分析我院普外科2010年10月1日—2017年10月1日收治的1307例行手术治疗的结直肠癌患者,其中无便秘组患者1128例,伴慢传输型便秘组179例;术后发生吻合口瘘患者109例,其中无便秘组92例,伴慢传输型便秘组17例。通过比较两组术后吻合口瘘的发生率、发生时间、发生瘘的级别等来分析慢传输型便秘对结直肠癌术后吻合口瘘发生的影响;在伴慢传输便秘组中根据术后吻合口近和(或)远端肠壁是否存在神经节细胞减少(或缺失)分为两组,通过比较两组术后吻合口瘘的发生率、发生时间及瘘的级别等进一步从病理学方面研究慢传输型便秘对结直肠癌术后吻合口瘘发生的影响。结果:伴慢传输型便秘组术后吻合口瘘的发生率为9.50%,高于无便秘组8.16%(P0.05);但术后吻合口瘘发生时间(7.34±3.17)天,晚于无便秘组(6.08±2.55)天(P0.05);在179例伴慢传输型便秘组中,神经节细胞正常组吻合口瘘的发生率7.89%,低于神经节细胞减少或缺失组12.31%(P0.05);且瘘的发生时间短于神经节细胞减少或缺失组[(6.12±3.29)天vs(8.71±4.36)]天(P0.05)。结论:慢传输型便秘增加结直肠癌术后吻合口瘘的发生率,且延长术后吻合口瘘发生时间;慢传输型便秘增加术后吻合口瘘发生率可能与结直肠切除范围不够,导致吻合口近和(或)远端肠壁存在神经节细胞的减少或缺失有关。     

The influence of processed total non-forward and non-motile sperm count on the outcome of artificial insemination with the husband’s semen

BackgroundArtificial insemination with the husband’s semen (AIH) is an economical and noninvasive method of infertility treatment. However, AIH’s pregnancy rate is much lower than in vitro fertilization (IVF) as its multiple and complex uncertainty factors. Semen quality has been one of the main factors which affect the pregnancy outcome of AIH.MethodsThe relevant parameters of 1,142 AIH cycles were retrospectively studied, including the general parameters and the semen quality parameters among clinical pregnancy, biochemical pregnancy, non-pregnancy group, age, infertility duration, infertility type, body mass index (BMI), cycle count, morphology in previously semen examination, and semen quality parameters on the day of AIH.ResultsThe statistically significant difference was only found on processed total non-forward and non-motile sperm count (N-TFMSC). The mean processed N-TFMSC in the biochemical pregnancy group was 6.37±4.27 million, significantly higher than the other two groups (vs. 4.40±3.15 million or vs. 4.48±3.60 million, P<0.05). The study was then divided into two groups according to processed N-TFMSC, Group 1 ≤5.0 million, and Group 2 >5.0 million. A statistical increase in biochemical pregnancy rate was observed when the processed N-TFMSC was >5.0 million (2.72% vs. 0.90%).ConclusionsProcessed N-TFMSC may be one of the independent factors on AIH’s outcome; it should be given equal attention the same as processed total forward motile sperm count (TFMSC).     

自然周期与促排卵周期联合宫腔内人工授精临床疗效的meta分析

目的系统评价自然周期和促排卵周期联合宫腔内人工授精(intrauterine insemination,IUI)对不孕患者治疗的有效性,旨在更合理有效的指导临床治疗。方法计算机检索2000年1月至2013年6月中国生物医学文献数据库(CBMDisc)、万方数据库、中国学术期刊网专题全文数据库(CNKI)、维普数据库、Pubmed、外文生物医学期刊文献数据(FMJS)中自然周期和促排卵周期联合IUI治疗不孕患者的随机对照试验(RCT)或临床对照试验。由2位评价员根据纳入与排除标准独立进行文献筛选、资料提取和质量评价后,采用Rev Man 5.0软件进行Meta分析。结果最终纳入9个研究,共8814个周期。Meta分析结果显示:对行IUI的不孕症患者,促排卵周期组与自然周期组相比,妊娠率[OR=1.47,95%CI(1.26,1.72),P0.00001]、流产率[OR=2.49,95%CI(1.49,4.16),P=0.0005]、多胎率[OR=6.94,95%CI(1.94,24.83),P=0.003]均大于自然周期组,且差异有统计学意义;OHSS发生率[OR=4.17,95%CI(0.74,23.49),P=0.11]和宫外孕发生率[OR=2.22,95%CI(0.92,5.37),P=0.08]无明显差异。结论对自然周期和促排卵周期联合IUI治疗不孕患者的有效性而言,促排卵周期组能更好的改善其妊娠率,但其流产率和多胎率的发生较高,因此促排卵方案用于IUI时,其疗效及安全性需要进行更多的临床研究。由于纳入文献存在质量和数量不足以及方法学差异,本研究结论仅作为临床分析的参考,尚需后效评价和不断更新。
