A greater change in the sebum secretion on the forehead before bathing to 90 min after bathing and a lower SCH of the forehead before bathing were associated with subsequent infantile facial skin problems, indicating that a better ability to recover after bathing is important to prevent facial skin problems. Future studies should identify factors that enhance the recuperative functions of infantile skin.

At present, over 50% of patients with HCC have implemented systemic therapies, such as interventional therapy or local chemotherapy that are scarcely effective and induce serious side effects to the remaining normal liver, further limiting their clinical outcomes. Herein, a tumor microenvironment triggered cascade-activation nanoplatform (A-NPLap/TPZ ) is prepared based on β-lapachone (β-Lap) and tirapazamine (TPZ) for the synergistic therapy of HCC. The A-NPLap/TPZ exerts its targeting effect by binding to the receptor of tumor cells with an external aptamer. In the tumor microenvironment, the nanoplatform can realize H2 O2 -triggered disassembly to release β-Lap and TPZ. The released β-Lap generates ROS to induce tumor cell apoptosis under the catalysis of the tumor cell over-expressed NAD(P)H-quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO1) enzyme. In this process, oxygen is consumed to intensify tumor hypoxia, and eventually cascade activates TPZ to exert the anti-tumor effect. The studies in vitro and in vivo consistently demonstrate that the as-prepared A-NPLap/TPZ nanoplatform possesses an excellent synergistic anti-tumor effect. This design of nanoplatform with cascade activation effect provides a promising strategy for HCC treatment.
The aim of this randomized controlled study was to investigate the effect of soft-tissue mobilization in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
Twenty-one patients (mean age 44.57±10.40years) were randomly divided into two groups. There were 13 patients (11 females, 2 males, age 43.69±9.94years) in the intervention group and 8 patients (5 females, 3 males, age 46.00±11.67years) in the control group. In the intervention group, soft-tissue mobilization therapy and 20 spinal mobility exercises were applied. The control group received only 20 spinal mobility exercises. The Bath AS Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), Bath AS Functional Index (BASFI), and Bath AS Metrology Index (BASMI) were used for assessment of disease activity, functional level, and mobility, respectively. Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) for quality of life and Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) were used to determine disability levels.
We found significant differences between pretreatment and post-treatment scores of BASDAI (P=0.049); BASFI (P=0.009; lateral lumbar flexion (P=0.005), maximal intermalleolar distance (P=0.001) and total score (P=0.001) of BASMI; pain subtest (P=0.036) and total score (P=0.036) of NHP; and RMDQ score (P=0.004) in the intervention group. However, in the control group the BASMI score (P=0.049) was observed to worsen significantly. Delta values were compared and differences in BASFI (P=0.039), and in lateral lumbar flexion (P=0.027), maximal intermalleolar distance (P=0.045) and total score (P=0.001) of BASMI were significant in favor of intervention group. Only tragus-to-wall distance (P=0.039) of BASMI was observed to worsen significantly in the control group.
We recommend the use of soft-tissue mobilization in addition to the exercises to treat AS patients.

However, despite the great potential of CDT in tumor treatment, insensitive response to the relatively high pH of the tumor sites and the insufficient intratumoral H2 O2 level leads to limited efficiency of most Fenton/Fenton-like reactions, which greatly imped its clinical conversion. This paper reports the fabrication of Fenton-type bimetallic peroxides for ultrasensitive chemodynamic therapy with high pH-activated, synergistic effect/H2 O2 self-supply-mediated cascade Fenton chemistry for the first time. The observations reveal that these bimetallic peroxides exhibit an ultrasensitive acid-activated decomposition-mediated Fenton-like reaction at the relatively high pH of 6.5-7.0, accompanied with highly increased •OH generation efficiency (especially, 40-60-fold increase at pH 7.0) by the metal-mediated synergistic effect-enhanced Fenton chemistry as well as in situ self-generated H2 O2 supplement. Moreover, the bimetallic peroxides exhibit high tumor accumulation which along with a high-efficiency tumor catalytic-therapeutic with negligible side effects in vivo. Developing these novel bimetallic peroxides, together with the already demonstrated capacity of the key metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, etc.) for magnetic resonance imaging or photodynamic/immune-enhanced therapy, will propel interest in development of smart high-efficiency nanoplatform for cancer theranostics.
The aim of this study is to explore whether low-frequency ultrasound combined with microbubbles improves pEGFP genes transfection into human prostate cancer cells.
Ultrasound with frequency of 80kHz and duty cycle of 50% was adopted in the study; in in vitro experiments, cell lysis, and membrane damage were evaluated after ultrasound exposure; and the membrane continuity and transfection efficiency were observed by transmission electron microscope and laser scanner, respectively. Human prostate cancer xenograft models were exposed to ultrasound and transfection efficiency and histological examination were analyzed.
Compared with the control group, ultrasound combined with microbubbles significantly improves gene transfection efficiency (P<.05). In in vitro study, ultrasound combined with microbubbles resulted in cell lysis and the interruption of cell membrane continuity, and its average transfection efficiency was 9.9%; the green fluorescence intensity was 15.2% in the ultrasound combined with microbubbles group in vivo; both values were higher than that in the control group (P<.
