Objective:To compare the efficacy and adverse reactions of picosecond and nanosecond Nd∶YAG laser 532 nm in the treatment of seborrheic keratosis.Methods:A total of 30 patients with seborrheic keratosis were enrolled in this study. The rash size was more than 1-2 cm. Half of them were treated with picosecond laser and the other half with nanosecond Q-switched Nd∶YAG laser by wavelength of 532 nm. The treatment effect and adverse reactions were evaluated by observing the area and the disappearance of pigment. The patients were followed up for 3 months after treatment.Results:The total effective rate was 73.33% in the experimental group and 53.33% in the control group, with no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05), but the pain score, satisfactory score, scab shedding time and the incidence of pigmentation in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The 532 nm picosecond laser has a higher efficiency in treating seborrheic keratosis than 532 nm Q-switched Nd∶YAG, but it has no statistical significance. However, the self satisfaction is higher than that of the control group; the pain score, scab shedding time and the incidence of pigmentation are lower than those of the control group, with statistical significance. Therefore, picosecond 532 nm laser treatment of early seborrheic keratosis is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To detect gene mutations in patients with mild phenotypes of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) .Methods:From June 2017 to June 2020, 5 probands with mild phenotypes of NF1 only involving the skin and their family members were collected from Department of Dermatology, Fengxian Institute of Dermatosis Prevention and Treatment in Shanghai. Pedigree investigation was performed to evaluate the clinical phenotypes of NF1. The second-generation targeted gene sequencing combined with Sanger sequencing was performed to detect and verify pathogenic mutations.Results:All the 5 probands presented with only skin lesions, including café-au-lait spots, freckles, neurofibromas, but no other systemic involvement. A total of 5 mutations were identified in different exons of the NF1 gene in the 5 families, including 1 large-fragment deletion mutation (hg38: chr17:31327199-31335928 del 8 730 bp) , 1 splicing mutation (C.7970+1G>T) , 1 insertion mutation (C.3011_3012insTATG, p.N1004fs*) , 1 deletion mutation (C.1754_1757delTAAC, p.T586Vfs*18) , and 1 nonsense mutation (c.C503G, p.S168X) , and the first 3 above mentioned mutations were previously unreported novel mutations.Conclusion:Five mutations were identified in the 5 families with mild phenotypes of NF1, including 3 novel mutations, which expand the mutational spectrum of NF1.
RÉSUMÉ
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the pratice of pharmaceutical care provided by clinical pharmacists in orthopedics department. METHODS: Based on the characteristics of orthopedic diseases and clinical drug use, combined with case analysis, the content, work focus and working methods of pharmaceutical care provided by clinical pharmacists were summarized in orthopedics department of our hospital. RESULTS: Clinical pharmacists of our hospital provided basal pharmaceutical care, such as pharmacy consultation, drug reforming, medication education. Focusing on the application standardization of antibiotics in perioperative period, pain evaluation, analgesic regimen optimization, hemostasis and anticoagulation medication safety monitoring of patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery, clinical pharmacists went deep into ward work to assist physicians in formulating treatment plans. Results of case analysis showed that the work of clinical pharmacists was recognized by doctors and promoted rational drug use in clinic. CONCLUSIONS: Clinical pharmacists should combine different specialty characteristics to carry out pharmacy services for specific groups, continuously improve the professional level and their ability to work, and improve the level of pharmaceutical care.

Objective To analyze the relationship between sleep duration, screen viewing time, and the prevalence of overweight/obesity among primary school students in Xuzhou. Methods Using a cluster sampling method, a total of 3 228 students (including 1 679 boys and 1 549 girls with an average age of 10.78±0.69 years) from grade one to six from 10 primary schools in Xuzhou underwent interview using a self?designed questionnaire containing basic characteristics, sleep duration, and screen viewing time. Data on height and weight were also collected. The relationship between sleep duration, screen viewing time, and overweight/obesity was analyzed using a logistic regression analysis. Results The prevalence rates of overweight among boys and girls were 16.56% and 11.94%, respectively (χ2=13.59, P<0.05). The prevalence rates of obesity among boys and girls were 14.47% and 10.07%, respectively (χ2=14.01, P<0.05). In total, 74.41% students reported a lack of sleep; the average sleeping time was (9.24±1.07) h. The average sleeping time among boys was (9.35 ± 1.12) h and among girls was (9.13 ± 1.03) h. The difference in sleep duration between boys and girls was significant (t=5.79, P<0.05). The differences in sleep duration and overweight/obesity were significant between both boys (χ2=18.62, P<0.05) and girls (χ2=21.14, P<0.05). Regarding screen viewing time, 17.29% of students spent more than 2 hours per day viewing a screen. The difference in screen viewing time between boys and girls was significant (Z=3.02, P=0.014). The proportion of children with screen viewing time of more than 2 h/d among overweight/obese and healthy weight male students was 29.50% (82/278) and 22.56% (316/1401), respectively, which was significantly different (χ2=6.18, P=0.01). However, there was no significant difference when examining the same groups among girls (12.98% (24/185;obese/overweight) vs . 9.97% (136/1364; healthy weight); χ2=1.59, P=0.21). After adjusting for parental obesity, eating sweets, and physical activity, logistic regression analysis showed that students who had a sleep duration less than 10 h/d had an odds ratio of 1.4 (95% CI: 1.15-1.71), the odds ratio for boys and girls was 1.56 (95% CI: 1.13-2.14) and 1.69 (95% CI: 1.15-2.46). The students who had a screen viewing time of more than 2 h/d had an odds ratio of 1.14 (95% CI: 1.05-1.80); the odds ratio for boys in this group was 1.18 (95% CI: 1.03-1.67). Conclusion Short sleep duration is a risk factor for being overweight/obese in both boys and girls. However, long screen viewing times were associated with being overweight/obese only in boys.

RÉSUMÉ
The activated carbon with high specific surface area was prepared by carbonization with walnut shell as raw material and activation by potassium hydroxide.The surface of activated carbon was then modified by phenyltrimethoxysilane to prepare phenyl-bonded high specific surface area activated carbon adsorption material.The specific surface area and pore size distribution of phenyl-bonded activated carbon were measured by nitrogen adsorption method.The organic functional groups of the phenyl-bonded activated carbon, the chemical environment of the surface elements and the crystal structure were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction method.The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air were absorbed by a sampling tube filled with the adsorption material prepared here, then desorbed into carbon disulfide solution and detected by gas chromatography.The saturated adsorption capacities of phenyl bonded activated carbon to 7 kinds of VOCs (ethanol, acetone, hexane, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, 1,2-dichloroethane, benzene) were in the range of 129-216 mg/g.In the range of 0.05-2.50 mg/mL, there was a good linear relationship between the peak height of the 7 components and the concentration, and the detection limits were in the range of 0.92-3.60 mg/m3.
RÉSUMÉ
Ultraviolet light(UV)-sensitive disorders refer to a group of diseases due to damages to the nucleotide excision repair mechanism which cannot effectively repair DNA damage caused by ultraviolet radiation. The inheritance pattern of such diseases, mainly including xeroderma pigmentosum, Cockayne syndrome and trichothiodystrophy, is autosomal recessive and known to involve 13 genes. As proteins encoded by such genes are involved in DNA repair and transcription pathways. There is overlap between the symptoms of such diseases, and their genotype - phenotype correlations are quite complex. To facilitate genetic and prenatal diagnosis for such diseases, a summary of the research progress is provided, which mainly focused on mutation research and genotype - phenotype correlation studies. We also propose a strategy for their genetic diagnosis based on recent findings of our group.
