Does dye laser treatment with higher fluences in combination with cold air cooling improve the results of port‐wine stains?

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The use of cold air cooling (CAC) and cryogen spray cooling during dye laser treatment of port-wine stains (PWS) has become a standard in recent years. Still unsolved is the question of which fluences are necessary in combination with CAC in order to achieve an optimum clearance and the lowest possible rate of side-effects. STUDY DESIGN: In a prospective study, we treated 11 patients with PWS with pulsed dye laser (Photogenica V, Cynosure, lambda = 585 nm, iota(p) = 0.5 ms, spot size = 7 mm). Each PWS was partitioned into three areas: (area 1) 6 J/cm(2) without CAC, (area 2) 6 J/cm(2) with CAC (level 4), (area 3) 9 J/cm(2) with CAC (level 4). RESULTS: Area 3 (mean, 59%) showed a slightly better clearance than area 1 (mean, 57%); in area 2, we observed a reduced clearance (mean, 45%). Compared with area 1, we achieved a reduction of pain through CAC in areas 2 and 3. The healing periods as well as the rate of side-effects were comparable in all areas. CONCLUSION: We observed a slight but not statistically relevant increase in clearance with the use of higher fluences and CAC compared with lower fluences without CAC. Because pain is lowered significantly when using CAC, and because this makes the treatment more comfortable for the patients, we tend to recommend the use of higher fluences (9 J/cm(2)) with simultaneous CAC for treating PWS.     

p53、nm23蛋白在宫颈鳞癌中的表达及其临床意义

目的研究p53、nm23基因在宫颈鳞癌中的表达及其临床意义.方法采用免疫组织化学S-P法检测45例宫颈鳞癌组织、10例宫颈上皮内瘤变和10例正常宫颈鳞状上皮中p53、nm23蛋白的表达.结果p53、nm23蛋白在宫颈鳞癌中的阳性表达率分别为64.44%、46.67%;在CIN中阳性表达率分别为0、30.00%;在NE组均无表达.p53蛋白在宫颈鳞癌中阳性表达与在CIN、NE中的不表达差异均有显著性(P＜0.01).nm23蛋白在宫颈鳞癌组织中的阳性表达与在NE中的不表达差异有显著性(P＜0.05),但与在CIN中的表达差异无显著性(P＞0.05);与病理学分级、淋巴结转移均呈负相关(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).结论p53、nm23基因参与了宫颈鳞癌的发生发展过程.p53蛋白的过表达是宫颈癌组织恶性变的生物学标志;检测nm23蛋白对判断宫颈癌淋巴结转移和预后有重要意义.

In vivo 23Na NMR studies of myotonic dystrophy

Myotonic dystrophy is an inherited multi-system disease. Its pathophysiology leading to muscle malfunction and damage is not well understood. ²³Na NMR spectroscopy was applied here for an in vivo comparative study of the calf muscles of 7 myotonic dystrophy patients at various stages of the disease and 11 healthy volunteers. Both the total sodium content, expressed as the ratio of the ²³Na and ¹H water signals, and the fast transverse relaxation time, T₂₁, determined from the triple quantum-filtered spectra, increased in correlation with the severity of the disease. The results demonstrate that ²³Na NMR enables the quantitation of myotonic dystrophy progression.     

Soluble CD14 but not interleukin-6 is a new marker for clinical activity in atopic dermatitis

Summary Levels of soluble IL-2 receptors, IL-6, soluble CD23, soluble CD14 and ECP (eosinophilic cationic protein) were measured as markers of T-cell, B-cell, monocyte and eosinophilic leucocyte activation in 26 patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) on admission to (A) and at discharge from (D) the Department of Dermatology in Zurich. The serum levels of sIL-2R, IL-6, sCD23, sCD14 and ECP were significantly elevated in AD patients in comparison with the normal values of healthy donors. A significant decrease in sIL-2R (p=0.0093) and in sCD14 (p=0.0134) levels was demonstrated between A and D, correlating with the improvement in the skin intensity score (SIS). In addition, a significant correlation of the sCD14 levels and the SIS at A was demonstrated (p=0.0415). These results also incriminate monocytes in the pathogenesis of AD, indicating that, besides sIL-2R and ECP, SCD14 could also be a possible marker for the disease activity.
