Photodynamic therapy combined with surgical management of extensive anogenital condylomatosis in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus.

Infections with human papillomavirus in the anogenital area result in warty, papillary, and condylomatous lesions. The giant anogenital wart is relatively uncommon. Treatment of giant wart is challenging, especially in the immunosuppressive population.

Plants' use of different nitrogen forms in response to crude oil contamination.

In this study, we investigated Phragmites australis' use of different forms of nitrogen (N) and associated soil N transformations in response to petroleum contamination. 15N tracer studies indicated that the total amount of inorganic and organic N assimilated by P. australis was low in petroleum-contaminated soil, while the rates of inorganic and organic N uptake on a per-unit-biomass basis were higher in petroleum-contaminated soil than those in un-contaminated soil.

Do plants modulate biomass allocation in response to petroleum pollution?

Biomass allocation is an important plant trait that responds plastically to environmental heterogeneities. However, the effects on this trait of pollutants owing to human activities remain largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the response of biomass allocation of Phragmites australis to petroleum pollution by a ¹³CO₂ pulse-labelling technique.

GC-MS, FT-IR analysis of black fungus polysaccharides and its inhibition against skin aging in mice.

The monosaccharide compositions, molecular weights, structure were investigated for the black fungus polysaccharides. Analysis of sugar components by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) showed that component ratios of neutral sugars in the polysaccharides were Glc:Man=82.97:12.
