Frequent Misdiagnosis of Scabies as Eczema in China: A Descriptive Study of 23 Cases.

Objective: To outline the clinical manifestations observed in patients with scabies misdiagnosed as generalized eczema, analyse the factors contributing to these misdiagnoses and explore potential reasons for the resurgence of scabies.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed to investigate the patients with scabies misdiagnosed as generalized eczema.

Results: We included 23 patients, with twelve (52.

[Association of genetic polymorphism of XPD with chromosomal damage in workers exposed to radiation].

Objective: To explore association genetic polymorphism of XPD with chromosomal damage in workers exposed to radiation.

Methods: 182 workers exposed to radiation for at least one year with chromosomal damage were selected as cases based on a general health examination for all workers exposed to radiation in Tangshan city. The control group without chromosomal damage was matched to case by age (within 5 years), sex, work unit, type of exposed to radiation, cumulate serve length (within 1 year) according to 1:1.

[Relationship between polymorphisms of DNA repair gene XRCC1 and susceptibility to radiation injury].

Objective: To explore the relationship between polymorphisms of DNA repair gene XRCC1 and susceptibility to radiation injury.

Methods: In 1:1 case-control study, 113 abnormal chromosome workers exposed to ionizing radiation were selected as cases and 113 normal chromosome as controls who matched with case for sex, age (+/- 5 years), nation, type of work, the same or more but in 2 years work length and the same similar levels of the cumulative exposure radiation dose. Genotypes were analysed using PCR based restriction fragment length polymorphism techniques.
