Background. The syndrome of drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a rare, yet potentially fatal hypersensitivity reaction, most commonly associated with anticonvulsants, sulfonamides, and allopurinol. The reaction commonly manifests as a febrile skin eruption with lymphadenopathy and malaise between two and eight weeks following drug exposure. Internal organ involvement occurs in close to 90 percent of patients, and multiple organs may be involved in approximately half...

Given the lack of research on the schoolchildren exposure to PM2.5-bound PHAs in northeast China, we investigated the effects of exposure to ambient benzo[b]fluoranthene (BbFA) and dibenz[a,h]anthracene (DahA) bound to PM2.5 on pulmonary ventilation dysfunction (PVD) and small airway dysfunction (SAD). PM2.5 samples at two schools (A and B) were collected, and the concentrations of PM2.5-bound 4–6-ring PAHs were analyzed. PVD and SAD were evaluated by pulmonary function tests in 306 students while...

Background. Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) with reported hepatotoxicity is identified, in which Polygoni Multiflori Radix (HSW) attracts most attention. According to the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, processing is believed to be able to reduce the toxicity of HSW, but in publications, both processed and unprocessed HSW are reported to cause liver injury. Methods. This article reviews the case reports and experimental researches involving liver damage associated with HSW from the following...

circRNAs are involved in diabetes mellitus pathogenesis. Electroacupuncture (EA) is an effective therapeutic strategy for diabetes mellitus. However, whether the mechanism of action of EA on diabetes mellitus is related to altered circRNAs is unclear. The aim of this study was to reveal the effect of EA on circRNA expression in plasma exosomes and the underlying signaling pathway in mice with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In total, 10 mice were randomly categorized into a normal group and 20 mice...

Uwe WollinaJournal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery 2019 12(3):191-192Dermatosurgery is a growing subspeciality due to increasing numbers of skin cancer and aesthetic procedures. Patient safety is a major issue in dermatosurgery. Quality management, education, and organization are the backbone of patient safety. A simple measure to support patient’s safety and to avoid wrong site surgery is preoperative skin marking. Permanent skin markers offer a painless and cost-effective option. To ensure optimal...
