Abstract
Background Ablative lasers have long been considered an unfavorable option for melasma in patients with skin of color and continue to be underutilized. Objective To evaluate the safety and outcomes of ablative fractional CO2 lasers on refractory melasma in patients with skin of color. Methods A retrospective chart review of 12 patients from a single-center dermatology clinic. The study included refractory melasma patients receiving ablative fractional CO₂ laser therapy alone or with laser toning and/or tranexamic acid (TXA). A validated modified Melasma Area and Severity Index (mMASI) scoring scale was used to assess disease severity at baseline and approximately 1 month after each treatment session. Results Among the 12 patients, 41.7% patients showed >50% reduction in mMASI scores with 33.3% of patients showing statistical significance (P < .05). The CO₂ laser therapy with the TXA cohort showed the largest decrease in the mean mMASI scores and the CO₂ laser with laser toning showed the lowest decrease in scores. Patients who started on oral TXA earlier, after their initial ablative laser session, showed better clinical improvement. Limitations Retrospective study design with short follow-up period and a small sample size. Conclusion Ablative CO2 laser treatment may be a reasonable option for refractory melasma in patients with skin of color, though future research is needed.

Abstract
Small molecule medications like apremilast are emerging as promising options for patients with psoriasis and other inflammatory conditions. Apremilast was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2014 for the management of both psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Apremilast inhibits phosphodiesterase-4, which increases the intracellular levels of cyclic AMP, thereby reducing inflammatory cytokine production. This review aims to discuss the published evidence and evaluate the differential use of apremilast in plaque psoriasis of the body and scalp, nail psoriasis, and palmoplantar psoriasis. In clinical trials, apremilast effectively reduced the severity of different dermatological manifestations of psoriasis and improved patients' quality of life. It has an acceptable safety profile and is generally well-tolerated. Oral medications like apremilast offer an alternative route of administration which can be more convenient and appropriate for some patients. Additionally, pharmacoeconomic analyses of available anti-psoriatic systemic agents favor apremilast as a cost-effective therapeutic option.

Abstract
Introduction: Topical corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment for mild-to-moderate psoriasis in adult and adolescent patients but there can be many adverse events associated with long-term corticosteroid use. Corticosteroid-sparing alternatives include Vitamin D3 analogs, such as calcipotriene (also known as calcipotriol), which have long been used as monotherapy or combination therapy with other topical agents to treat psoriasis. Calcipotriene's mechanism of action is not fully understood but it is believed to be effective due to its anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory properties.Areas covered: Herein, the authors review the safety and efficacy of calcipotriene 0.005% aerosol foam, as well as factors affecting patient adherence to topical therapies. The authors offer an expert opinion and future perspectives on the use of calcipotriene foam as monotherapy compared with other topical pharmacotherapies.Expert opinion: Calcipotriene 0.005% foam is a safe and effective topical treatment when used to treat plaque psoriasis in patients aged 12 years and older. Despite its safety and efficacy, it remains largely utilized as a second-line agent due to its slow clinical improvement. Slow onset of action can result in poor patient adherence.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the expression of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1) in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) tissues, and investigate the correlation among their expression, clinicopathological features and prognosis. Methods: The specimens of 180 patients with EOC treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from October 2002 to December 2013 were confirmed by pathological examination. The pathological tissue specimens of subtypes ,included 120 cases of serous carcinoma, 30 cases of mucinous carcinoma, 20 cases of endometrioid carcinoma, and 20 cases of clear cell carcinoma. The normal paracancerous tissues of 50 cases randomly selected from the 180 patients as control group. Immunohistochemical SP method was used to detect the expressions of both PD-1 and PD-L1 in epithelial ovarian cancer tissues, and the relationships among their expressions,the clinicopathological parameters and prognosis were respectively analyzed. Results: (1) PD-1 was expressed in lymphocytes infiltrated in EOC tissues, and PD-L1 was expressed in the cell membranes of cancer tissues. In all EOC cases, 33 cases (18.3%, 33/180) of both PD-1 and PD-L1 were highly expressed, and only 1 (2.0%, 1/50) of control group showed high expression. There was statistically significant difference between two groups (P<0.01). (2) Among the four subtypes tissue specimens of EOC, the high expression rate of PD-1 was 25.0% (30/120) for serous carcinoma, 3/15 for endometrioid carcinoma, 0 (0/30) for mucinous carcinoma, and 0 (0/15) for clear cell carcinoma. The high expression rate of PD-L1 was 23.3% (28/120) for serous carcinoma, 3.3% (1/30) for mucinous carcinoma, 2/15 for endometrioid carcinoma, and 2/15 for clear cell carcinoma. Both PD-1 and PD-L1 expressions in the four sub-types of tissue specimens were significantly different (P<0.05). The high expression rate of both PD-1 and PD-L1 was 9.2% (8/87) in the early stage and 26.9% (25/93) in the late stage. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.01). Similarly, the expression of both PD-1 and PD-L1 were significantly higher in the cases of high-grade EOC (type Ⅱ) than those of low-grade (type Ⅰ) and in the cases of EOC distributed bilaterally than that distributed unilaterally, and there were statistically significant differences (P<0.05). (3) The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the survival time were respectively 35 and 36 months in the cases with high expressions of both PD-1 and PD-L1, and the survival time were the same as 61 months in the cases with low expression of both PD-1 and PD-L1, and the comparison was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions: The expression levels of PD-1 and PD-L1 in EOC tissues are higher than those in adjacent tissues, especially in serous carcinomas. The expression of both PD-1 and PD-L1 is higher in specimens of the patients with advanced stages. The results showed that the high expression of both PD-1 and PD-L1 is an indicator of poor prognosis of patients suffering from EOC.

Abstract
Objective: To detect phosphorylated-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK1/2) protein expression in epithelial ovarian cancer and cell lines, and to examine the effects of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase (MEK) inhibitor AZD6244 on cell proliferation, apoptosis as well as cell cycle of ovarian cancer cells. To explore the function and significance of MAPK/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway in the development of ovarian cancer. Methods: (1) A total of 104 cases of patients with ovarian cancer who accepted the treatment of gynecological surgery and being confirmed by pathological examination in First Affiliated Hospital, Dalian Medical University from January 2004 to December 2013 were selected. The expressions of p-ERK1/2 protein were detected by immunohistochemistry in ovarian cancer specimens, and the relationship between the expressions of p-ERK1/2 and the clinical features of patients was analyzed. (2) p-ERK1/2 and other related proteins were determined by western blot in various ovarian cancer cells, including SKOV3, OV2008, C13, A2780S, A2780CP, OVCAR4, OVCAR5, OVCAR8 and CAOV3 treated with or without MEK inhibitor. The cellular proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle of ovarian cancer cells after treatment with MEK inhibitor were analyzed by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Results: (1) The immunohistochemical method showed that p-ERK1/2 between low grade serous carcinoma and clear cell carcinoma were not significantly higher expressed (P>0.05) . However, a lower level of the p-ERK1/2 expression were observed among high grade serous carcinoma, mucinous carcinoma and endometrioid carcinoma (all P<0.05) . There was no significant correlation between the protein expression of p-ERK1/2 and patients' age, pathological stage of surgery, and preoperative serum CA(125) level (P>0.05). (2) Western blot showed that the protein p-ERK1/2 was widely expressed in various ovarian cancer cell lines such as SKOV3, OV2008, C13, A2780S, A2780CP, OVCAR4, OVCAR5, OVCAR8 and CAOV3. After treatment with AZD6244 (5, 10 μmol/L), the level of p-ERK1/2 in OVCAR5 and OVCAR8 decreased significantly in dose-dependent manner. Additionally, we found a reduction of the expression level of cyclin D1, caspase-3 and appeared cleaved poly adenosine diphosphate ribose polymerase (PARP) in OVCAR5 and OVCAR8, compared with control groups. MTT assays showed that OVCAR5, OVCAR8 and A2780S were differently inhibited in the dose-dependent manner after being treated with different concentrations of AZD6244 (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 μmol/L, all P<0.05). Further tested by flow cytometry, the results showed that AZD6244 (5, 10 μmol/L) was able to induce the apoptosis of OVCAR5, OVCAR8 and A2780S, as well as G(0)/G(1) phase arrest, both in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). Conclusions: As the main active and functional unit of MAPK/ERK signaling pathway, p-ERK1/2 protein is expressed in both the tissues and various ovarian cancer cell lines. AZD6244 could down-regulated the expression of p-ERK1/2 in ovarian cancer cells, accompanied by the decreased proliferation and increased cell apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells. In conclusion, MAPK/ERK signaling pathway might play a role in the development and progression of ovarian cancer, and may be provide a novel option for molecular targeted therapies of the disease.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of hypertension in elderly residents in Hebei province. Methods: Elderly residents aged ≥60 were selected though multistage clustering sampling during August to December, 2015. Design based methods were adopted to analyze the prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of hypertension in local residents of Hebei. Results: A total of 2 501 elderly adults were included in the study. The overall prevalence rate of hypertension was 63.7% (58.3% in males, 69.0% in females), the awareness rate of hypertension was 42.4% (35.7% in males, 48.0% in females), the treatment rate was 38.2% (32.0% in males, 43.3% in females), and the control rate was 9.0% (8.1% in males, 9.7% in females). The results of multivariate analysis indicated that age, sex, degree of education, BMI and central obesity were the factors influencing the prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of hypertension in elderly population in Hebei. Conclusions: The prevalence of hypertension was high, but the rates of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension were low in elderly residents in Hebei. The influences of overweight, obesity and central obesity on hypertension were significant in the elderly. It is necessary to standard the management of hypertension and reduce the risk factors for hypertension in elderly population to improve the control of hypertension.

Abstract
The 11q terminal deletion disorder is a rare genetic disorder associated with numerous clinical features. A few case reports have been made about de novo interstitial deletion of chromosome 11q. However, due to the heterogeneity in size and position of the deletions, a clear genotype-phenotype correlation is not easily made. Here we report a case interstitial 20.5-Mb deletion at chromosome 11q13.4q21, as confirmed by array comparative genomic hybridization. Dysmorphic features such as coarse facial features, congenital laryngomalacia, oblique inguinal hernia, high-arched palate, and camptodactyly were observed in the subject. The present case broadens the spectrum of clinical findings observed in individuals with 11q interstitial deletion.
