Multifactor analysis of patients with oral sensory complaints in a case-control study
编辑人员丨1周前
Background::There are an increasing number of patients with oral sensory complaints (OSCs) presenting to our dental clinic. For most dentists, it is difficult to distinguish burning mouth syndrome (BMS) from other oral mucosal diseases that may cause symptoms such as burning mouth. It is beneficial to effectively distinguish OSC patients to reduce misdiagnosis and eliminate burning symptoms as much as possible.Methods::Patients with oral burning sensations in the oral mucosal disease clinic were collected from the Peking University Hospital of Stomatology between September 1, 2014 and December 31, 2018. After excluding oral candidiasis, anemic stomatitis, dental material allergy, and other diseases from patients with oral sensory complaints, basic conditions such as gender, age, education level, job status, hyperglycemia, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, history of brain abnormalities, history of cervical spondylitis, history of thyroid disease, history of thyroid disease and insomnia were obtained. The BMS patients were compared with the control group. The t test and Chi-square test were used for statistical analysis to compare the clinical symptoms of these diseases and explore the risk factors for BMS. Results::In this case-control study, 395 patients (321 females and 74 males, mean age 55.26 ± 10.51 years) with oral sensory complaints and 391 healthy controls (281 females and 110 males, mean age 47.11 ± 13.10 years) were enrolled, among which, 8.4% (33/395) had oral candidiasis, 1.3% (5/395) had dental material allergy, 0.8% (3/395) had anemic stomatitis and 0.5% (2/395) had lichen planus. A total of 352 patients were eventually diagnosed with BMS. Anxiety and depression were more severe in BMS patients, as were the incidences of sleep disorders and brain abnormalities. Logistic regression analysis showed that age (odds ratio [OR]= 2.79, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.61-4.83, P < 0.001), total cholesterol level (OR= 2.92, 95% CI: 1.32-6.50, P = 0.009) and anxiety score (OR = 1.75, 95% CI: 1.01-2.77, P = 0.017) significantly increased the incidence of BMS. Patients with hyperglycemia (OR = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.23-0.89, P = 0.022), low body mass index (BMI: OR = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.34-0.93, P = 0.026) and low education level (OR = 3.43, 95% CI: 1.91-6.15, P < 0.001) were more likely to suffer from BMS. Conclusions::Oral candidiasis, anemic stomatitis, and dental material allergy with burning symptoms should be excluded from patients with BMS. It is recommended to conduct a questionnaire survey (including anxiety and depression), blood cell analysis, and salivary fungus culture for all patients with an oral burning sensation. It is necessary to conduct a patch test on patients with oral burning sensations and metal restorations.

Tuberculosis Verrucosa Cutis on the Buttocks: A Case Report
编辑人员丨1周前
Introduction::Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis is a rare form of cutaneous tuberculosis and occurs commonly on the lower extremeties (hand, thighs and buttock). It is often missed as other cutaneous verrucosa dieases and the pathogens of cutaneous tuberculosis is difficult to find.Case presentation::A 54 Chinese male presented with 9-year history of asymptomatic verrucous lesions on bilateral buttocks. Lesions presented a well-defined plaque, verrucous lesion and yellow pus discharge on buttocks. The skin biopsy showed pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia of the epidermis and dermal granulomatous inflammation composed of epithelioid histiocytes and mixed inflammatory cells. The tuberculin test and the polymerase chain reaction for Mycobacterium tuberculosis were negative, but T-spot test were positive. the treatment of antituberculosis showed favourable effect. Finally, the diagnosis of tuberculosis verrucosa cuti was made. Discussion::Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis is easily confused with other verrucous diseases, such as verrucous porokeratosis, discoid lupus erythematosus hypertrophicus lichen planus, chromoblastomycosis. Diagnostic therapy is usually recommended for most of these diagnoses.Conclusion::A diagnosis of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis should be taken correctly based on the combination of clinical manifestions, histopathological characteristics, laboratory findings and diagnostic therapy. It is vital for dermatologists to be aware of verrucous lesions since a delay in diagnosis can lead to aggravate the disease, abuse of glucocorticoids.

Major Clinical Features and Epidemic Characteristics of Erosive Vulvar Lichen Planus: A Retrospective Analysis
编辑人员丨1周前
Objective::Vulvar lichen planus (VLP), especially erosive VLP (EVLP), seriously affects women’s physiological function and quality of life. A retrospective analysis of erosive vulvar lichen planus (EVLP) was performed to raise awareness on this chronic, deforming, and painful vulvar disease.Methods::This observational retrospective study involved 40 patients with EVLP among 1,368 patients with vulvar disease from 2017 to 2020. The patients’ vulvar clinical features and extravulvar mucosal involvement were investigated. The patients’ pain and quality of life were evaluated with the numeric rating scale and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), respectively. Clinical characteristics were reported using frequencies and proportions for categorical variables. Continuous variables are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. The association between NRS score for pain and DLQI score was analyzed by Pearson’s correlation test.Results::EVLP accounted for 2.9% (40/1,368) of all cases of vulvar disease, and the median age at onset was 42 years. Erosion mostly occurred on the labia minora and introitus. Half (20/40) of the patients had extravulvar mucosal involvement. Seventeen (42.5%) patients had oral lichen planus, and seven (17.5%) patients were diagnosed with vulvovaginal-gingival syndrome. The numeric rating scale score showed that 47.5% (19/40) of patients experienced mild pain, whereas 12.5% (5/40) described the pain as severe. Thirty-one patients (77.5%, 31/40) had dyspareunia, and nine patients had aggravated pain after sexual intercourse. The mean DLQI score was 9.1 ± 6.0, with 37.5% (15/40) of patients indicating that EVLP had severely affected their lives. The numeric rating scale score for pain was significantly correlated with the DLQI score ( P = 0.007). Conclusion::EVLP can affect the quality of women’s lives and cause severe deformations and painful architectural changes. The description of the characteristics of EVLP in this report will benefit the diagnosis and early treatment of this disease.

A foot structure study of new arch flexibility grading system based on three-dimensional arch volume
编辑人员丨1周前
Purpose::Different arch structures may cause different foot function injuries. In the past, the arch structure and flexibility of the foot were often defined by the height of the arch, and there was no three-dimensional (3D) structure classification method. In order to form a more complete 3D description, we propose a new classification system of arch volume flexibility (AVF), and then use this new classification system to investigate the relationship between the AVF and arch index (AI), and the arch height flexibility (AHF) and AI, respectively.Methods::It is proposed to recruit 180 young male adults for the test. We obtained arch volume and AI through 3D scanning and obtained the navicular height through manual measurement. Based on these data, we calculated the AHF and the AVF. Using the quintile method, these arches are divided into very stiff, stiff, neutral, flexible, and very flexible. According to AI value, all arches were divided into cavus, rectus, and planus. The distribution of AVF was compared using χ 2 goodness of fit test. The spearman correlation test was used to compare the AHF and AVF. A p < 0.05 indicates that the difference is statistically significant. Results::All participants' plantar data was obtained through 3D scanning, but only 159 of them were complete, so only 318 feet had valid data. The left AHF is (21.23 ± 12.91) mm/kN, and the right AHF is (21.71 ± 12.69) mm/kN. The AVF of the left foot arch is (207.35 ± 118.28) mm 3/kg, while the right one is (203.00 ± 117.92) mm 3/kg, and the total AVF of the arch was (205.17 ± 117.94) mm 3/kg. There was no statistical difference in the AVF between the left and right feet for the same participant ( n = 159, p = 0.654). In cavus, the percentage of arch with AVF is 21.4% (very stiff), 21.4% (stiff), 14.3% (neutral), 7.1% (flexible), and 35.7% (very flexible). In rectus, the percentage of arch with AVF is 23.9% (very stiff), 19.6% (stiff), 14.7% (neutral), 24.5% (flexible), and 17.2% (very flexible). In planus, the percentage of arch with AVF is 14.9% (very stiff), 20.6% (stiff), 27.0% (neutral), 16.3% (flexible), and 21.3% (very flexible). Moreover, the correlation between AHF and AVF is not significant ( p = 0.060). Conclusion::In cavus, rectus, and planus, different AVF accounts different percentage, but the difference is not statistically significant. AVF is evenly distributed in the arches of the feet at different heights. We further found the relationship between AHF and AVF is not significant. As a 3D index, AVF may be able to describe the flexibility of the arch more comprehensively than AHF.

Research Progress of MicroRNAs and Related Factors in the Pathogenesis of Lichen Planus
编辑人员丨1周前
More evidences show that microRNAs play an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammation and autoimmune diseases including Lichen planus, and are an attractive therapeutic target. MicroRNA family plays an important role in the regulation of gene expression, which involves cell proliferation, apoptosis, growth, differentiation and metabolism, vascularization, immune response and other biological processes. The changes of expression profile and expression level are closely related to the occurrence and development of many diseases, such as tumor, inflammatory disease and autoimmune disease relevant. However, there are few reports on microRNA in the pathogenesis of LP. This review summarizes the research advance of microRNAs (microRNAs -137, microRNAs -125b, microRNAs -138, microRNAs-27b, microRNAs -203) and their downstream proteins in LP.
