Effect of new Pulian Ointment () in treating psoriasis of blood-heat syndrome: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To objectively assess the clinical efficacy and safety of a new Pulian Ointment (, NPLO) in treating psoriasis of blood-heat syndrome of Chinese medicine.

Methods: A total of 108 patients with psoriasis of blood-heat syndrome were equally assigned, using a randomizing digital table, to the test group treated externally with NPLO and the control group treated with placebo; the medication was done using a singleblinded method twice a day. Meanwhile, all patients received by oral intake a conventional Chinese decoction for clearing heat and cooling blood; the therapeutic course was 4 weeks for both groups.

Comparison between immunofluorescence and PCR in detecting human papilloma virus in condyloma acuminata.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of immunofluorescence and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in detecting human papilloma virus (HPV) in condyloma acuminata (CA).

Methods: HPVs in CA tissues from 60 patients were detected by immunofluorescence and PCR, respectively. Different subtypes of HPVs were also identified with restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP).

[Detecting HPV DNA in tissues of external genital squamous cell carcinoma in situ by PCR-RFLP technique].

Objective: To study the relationship between the infection of human papillomavirus (HPV) and external genital squamous cell carcinoma in situ.

Methods: HPV DNA was detected with the consensus primer by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and its type was determined by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP).

Results: HPV DNA was detected and HPV16 was the most frequently identified type in 29 (56.
