Novel application of absorbable gelatine sponge combined with polyurethane film for dermal reconstruction of wounds with bone or tendon exposure.

Trauma, burns, and diabetes result in nonhealing wounds that can cause bone or tendon exposure, a significant health threat. The use of an artificial regeneration template combined with skin grafting as an alternative method to highly invasive flap surgery has been shown to be an effective way to cover full-thickness skin defects with bone or tendon exposure for both functional and aesthetic recovery. However, artificial regeneration templates, such as Pelnac, are overwhelmingly expensive, limiting their clinical use.

Chinese guidelines on the clinical application of 5-aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy in dermatology (2021 edition).

Photodynamic Therapy with 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA-PDT) has been widely applied in the treatment of skin diseases in China. To further standardize, guide, and promote the clinical applications of ALA-PDT in dermatology, the Chinese Society of Dermatology, Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Dermatology, Photomedicine Therapeutic Equipment Group of Committee on Skin Disease, and Cosmetic Dermatology of China Association of Medical Equipment invited relevant experts engaged in ALA-PDT to revise and update the first edition of "Clinical application of 5-aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy: an expert consensus statement" and establish a more current edition, to provide an updated reference for Chinese dermatologists in clinical practice. In the guideline, the expert group reached consensus opinions on ALA-PDT with regard to mechanisms of action, therapeutic protocol, clinical applications, adverse reactions and countermeasures, precautions, care, and evaluation of efficacy.

Hypocrellin B Encapsulated in Triphenyl Phosphonium-Modified Cationic Liposomes for Photodynamic Treatment of Exudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

Verteporfin photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been approved for the treatment of exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) for over a decade. However, its extensive application has been impeded by inevitably collateral tissue damage and immediate induction of angiogenesis, in addition to the need of multiple treatments. In order to develop prospective photosensitizers for clinical use, a triphenyl phosphonium-modified cationic liposomal hypocrellin B (TPP cationic LHB) for angiogenic targeting and endothelial internalization was constructed.

Photodynamic therapy for Hidradenitis Suppurativa/acne inversa: Case report.

Hidradenitis suppurativa/acne inversa (HS/AI) is a type of chronic suppurative inflammatory reaction of the hair follicles characterized by recurrent dermal abscesses, sinus tracts and scars. So far, there has not been any prospective study proving the efficacy and safety of photodynamic therapy for the disease. In this report, one case of HS/AI achieved resolution of skin lesions, ulcer healing and disappearance of symptoms after nine treatments with 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT).

Application of dermoscopy image analysis technique in diagnosing urethral condylomata acuminata.

Background: In this study, cases with suspected urethral condylomata acuminata were examined by dermoscopy, in order to explore an effective method for clinical.

Objective: To study the application of dermoscopy image analysis technique in clinical diagnosis of urethral condylomata acuminata.

Methods: A total of 220 suspected urethral condylomata acuminata were clinically diagnosed first with the naked eyes, and then by using dermoscopy image analysis technique.

Clinical study on clinical operation and post-treatment reactions of HMME-PDT in treatment of PWS.

Objective: To analyze the clinical efficacy of hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether photodynamic therapy (HMME-PDT) in treating port-wine stains (PWS), and its clinical operation skills and operation essentials.

Laryngeal papilloma Clinically, it features rapid growth, multi-focus, frequent recurrence and possibility of spreading to the lower respiratory tract. ALA-PDT via self-retaining laryngoscope under general anesthesia combined with CO2 Laser Therapy is safe and effective for clearing laryngeal papilloma, laryngeal papilloma was fully removed from the three patients, with no recurrence during the 6-24 months of follow-up medical examination.

Macrophage polarization in inflammatory diseases.

Diversity and plasticity are two hallmarks of macrophages. M1 macrophages (classically activated macrophages) are pro-inflammatory and have a central role in host defense against infection, while M2 macrophages (alternatively activated macrophages) are associated with responses to anti-inflammatory reactions and tissue remodeling, and they represent two terminals of the full spectrum of macrophage activation. Transformation of different phenotypes of macrophages regulates the initiation, development, and cessation of inflammatory diseases.
