    The rate of herpes infection is low in patients being treated with dupilumab, topical pimecrolimus, and topical tacrolimus. There is no significant difference for the rate of herpes infection between, placebo, dupilumab, topical pimecrolimus, and the topical tacrolimus treatment group, suggesting that dupilumab does not affect herpes infection rates.

    Ocular complications are the most common complication associated with dupilumab.

There is no significant difference for the rate of herpes infection between, placebo, dupilumab, topical pimecrolimus, and the topical tacrolimus treatment group, suggesting that dupilumab does not affect herpes infection rates.

    To evaluate the state of psychology and quality of life of patients effected by acne and also the efficacy and safety of photodynamic therapy with topical 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA-PDT) for moderate to severe acne patients.

    In the questionnaire part, a pre-designed form was filled out. The questionnaire was comprised of 2 sections related to acne including sociodemographic and disease information as well as Cardiff Acne Disability Index (CADI) and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). In the trial part, the ALA-PDT was applied to moderate to severe acne patients. Fresh 5% ALA solution was topically applied to face or face & neck. After 1 h’s incubation, a LED device was illuminated. A power density of 60-100 mW/cm

    was delivered for 20 min. All the patients finished 3-4 sessions of ALA-PDT at 7-10 days intervals. Non-invasive detections were taken for skin moisture, oil, and VISIA indexes. Adverse events were recorded during and after the treatment.

    A total of 247 acne patients finished questionnaires.were rated as impact in CADI questionnaire and 37.6 % patients had anxiety in SAS questionnaire. It is necessary to control weight and disease progression. The efficiencies of ALA-PDT for moderate and severe acne were 59.4%-85.7% at follow-ups of 1st, 2nd or 3rd month after last session. The adverse reactions of ALA-PDT were temporary and tolerable.The brain is a common metastatic site of small cell lung cancer (SCLC), but systematic treatment options are limited by the blood-brain barrier. Currently, the optimal treatment regimen remains controversial, especially for patients already treated by brain radiotherapy. Anlotinib is a novel oral multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor which has shown significant improvement in progression-free survival and overall survival in third-line or beyond therapy of advanced SCLC in a randomized, double-blind phase II study (ALTER1202 trial) based on a Chinese population sample. Emerging data has also suggested that immunotherapy, such as the programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor, has a relatively high response rate in brain metastatic SCLC, although there is a lack of large sample-size studies. Integrating anlotinib and immunotherapy for recurrent or relapsing brain metastases (BMs) of SCLC has not been previously reported, but it is possible that these two treatments may have synergistic effects and provide even better outcomes. Here, we present a case of stage III SCLC who developed lung and BMs after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT) and achieved radiographic locally complete regression following whole brain irradiation (WBI) with a simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) technique. Durvalumab was delivered as maintenance therapy. Asymptomatic multifocal recurrence of BMs occurred after the administration of the second dose of durvalumab. After administration of combined durvalumab and anlotinib, the BMs achieved near-complete regression and no severe toxicity was reported. This suggests a potential synergistic effect of combined durvalumab and anlotinib in previously treated BMs in a patient with SCLC and may provide a direction for future clinical decisions.Currently, the epidemics situation of COVID-19 is still grim. As a high-risk department, it is necessary to take corresponding prevention and control measures in the ophthalmology department. To guide the ophthalmology department of medical institutions to recover from the post-pandemic period of COVID-19, we designed relevant prevention and control strategies formulated by the National Health Committee, combined with our practical work of hospital pandemic management. The prevention and control strategies contained ward settings, channel design, allocation of protective equipment, screening of hospitalized patients, supervision-guided improvement, ward disinfection, the management of patients and escorts. There are 64 doctors and nurses who had standardized training during the post-pandemic period in the ophthalmology department. PF-03084014 A total of 185 patients were admitted to the ophthalmology department of our institution, and 107 operations were successfully performed during that period. We made a follow-up visit two weeks after discharge to ask whether the patients had fever and/or other symptoms and whether he had been diagnosed with a COVID-19 case. Ultimately the ophthalmic ward was free of infection with the novel coronavirus. These showed that our prevention strategies were effective for ophthalmology department to defending COVID-19 in the process of recovering medical services.Asthma is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation, and involves a variety of cells and cellular components, which genetic and environmental factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of asthma. It usually occurs in infancy, and epidemiological studies have shown that maternal nutrition during pregnancy is related to the occurrence of asthma in childhood. Fatty acids (FA) are carboxylic acids with different amounts of carbons. Based on the differences between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon chains, it can be divided into three categories saturated fatty acid (SFA, no double bonds between them), monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA, one double bond), and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA, multiple double bonds). Excessive intake of SFA is the main cause of elevated blood cholesterol, triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), which leads to arterial lumen stenosis and atherosclerosis, and increases the risk of coronary heart disease. MUFA has hypoglycemic, lipid-lowering, cholesterol-lowering, and antithrombotic effects.
