A retrospective study of long term follow-up of 2283 vitiligo patients treated by autologous, non-cultured melanocyte-keratinocyte transplantation.

Background: Autologous non-cultured melanocyte-keratinocyte transplantation (MKTP) can be used to treat stable vitiligo cases, but there were insufficient clinical data to evaluate its safety and efficacy.

Objective: To assess the influence of various factors on the therapeutic outcome of MKTP.

Method: The single-center retrospective study included stable vitiligo patients who underwent MKTP between June 2009 and June 2018.

A randomized controlled study of the effects of different modalities of narrow-band ultraviolet B therapy on the outcome of cultured autologous melanocytes transplantation in treating vitiligo.

Background: Vitiligo is an acquired skin disorder with great social impact. It can be successfully treated using cultured autologous melanocytes transplantation.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of different modalities of narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) therapy on the outcome of cultured autologous melanocyte transplantation in treating vitiligo.

Efficacy and safety of tarcrolimus cream 0.1% in the treatment of vitiligo.

Background: Vitiligo is an acquired, pigmentary skin disorder which is disfiguring and difficult to treat. Phototherapy and application of topical corticosteroids are most commonly prescribed. However, these therapies are often not effective and use of corticosteroids on the face may lead to cutaneous atrophy, telangiectasia, and ocular complications.

Genetic epidemiology of vitiligo: a study of 815 probands and their families from south China.

Background: Genetic factors are thought to be involved in the development of vitiligo.

Aim: To explore the possible genetic model of vitiligo by analyzing the genetic characteristics of 815 patients and their families from south China (Zhejiang Province).

Methods: Data for 815 patients with vitiligo were obtained by questionnaire.

[Study on the social factors of patients with genital herpes relapsing].

Objective: To investigate the social factors of patients with genital herpes (GH) relapsing and guide GH patients to avoid the related social factors.

Methods: To select 96 case of patients with recurrent genital herpes of final diagnosis and detailedly record the related social factors before relapsing. The social factors were compared between male and female GH patients, and compared between frequently recurrent (> 6/year) and non-frequently recurrent GH patients (< or = 6/year) too.

[Study on genetic epidemiology on 815 patients with vitiligo in Zhejiang area].

Objective: Genetic factors are thought to be involved in the development of vitiligo. The aim of this study is to explore the possible genetic model of vitiligo by analyzing the genetic characteristics of 815 patients from Zhejiang province.

Methods: Data for 815 patients with vitiligo together with their first- and second-degree relatives were obtained using a standardized questionnaire.
