The W-Plasty Serial Excision Method for Treating Medium Congenital Melanocytic Nevi: A Retrospective Analytical Study.

Background: Serial excision remains the most commonly used surgical procedure for treating congenital melanocytic nevus (CMN). It is critical to remove as much of the lesion as possible with each procedure to reduce the number of procedures and to shorten the treatment duration.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of W-plasty serial excision for the repair of postoperative CMN defects.

The clinical effect of modified slow Mohs circular skin biopsy on penoscrotal extramammary Paget's disease.

Objective: Determining the tumor margin is the main problem in penoscrotal extramammary Paget's disease (PEMPD) surgery. This study aimed to explore the role of modified slow Mohs circular skin biopsy in determining the tumor margin in patients with PEMPD before operation.

Methods: Thirty-six PEMPD patients were divided into the control group and the observation group according to the simple randomization method.

The Combination of the Mini-Punch Technique and Photodynamic Therapy for the Treatment of Mandibular Keloids and Hypertrophic Scars.

Background: Mandibular keloids and hypertrophic scars can exert significant effects on the appearance of a patient. However, current treatments are not effective in all cases. Consequently, it is vital to identify a safe and effective treatment method.

Robust table recognition for printed document images.

The recognition and analysis of tables on printed document images is a popular research field of the pattern recognition and image processing. Existing table recognition methods usually require high degree of regularity, and the robustness still needs significant improvement. This paper focuses on a robust table recognition system that mainly consists of three parts: Image preprocessing, cell location based on contour mutual exclusion, and recognition of printed Chinese characters based on deep learning network.

The RET C611Y mutation causes MEN 2A and associated cutaneous.

Background: Cutaneous lichen amyloidosis (CLA) has been reported in some multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN 2A) families affected by specific germline RET mutations C634F/G/R/W/Y or V804M, as a characteristic of the clinical manifestation in ‘MEN 2A with CLA’, one of four variants of MEN 2A, which was strictly located in the scapular region of the upper back.

Patient Findings: This study reports a large south-eastern Chinese pedigree with 17 individuals carrying the MEN 2A-harboring germline C611Y (c.1832G>A) RET mutation by Sanger sequencing.

[Hypnotic effect of Chinese materia medica Cynanchum chinese in mice].

Objective: To study the central pharmacological effect of the water and chloroform-extract compounds from C. chinese in mice.

Method: The independent activity test and the hypnotic synergism test by sub-threshold hypnotic dosage of pentobarbital were employed to evaluate the central pharmacological effect of the extract-compounds, and the minimal neurotoxicity was evaluated by the rotorod test.
