研究目的
Investigating the efficacy of 595-nm pulsed dye laser (PDL) in the treatment of port-wine stains (PWSs) in Chinese patients.
研究成果
Pulsed dye laser with 595-nm laser equipped with dynamic cooling device is an effective option for the treatment of PWS in Chinese patients. Younger patients with lateral face position, larger vessel size (deeper color), and lesser hypertrophy received better clinical effect than the others. Treatment with short pulse duration of less than 3 ms for 4 to 5 times was recommended to treat PWS.
研究不足
The study is retrospective, which may introduce selection bias. The sample size is limited to Chinese patients, and the findings may not be generalizable to other populations. The study does not address long-term follow-up outcomes.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A retrospective study was conducted on 261 Chinese patients with PWS who received more than two treatments with 595-nm PDL. The treatment response was graded based on cosmetic improvement.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Patients with PWS who received treatment between January 2011 and December 2016 at the Laser Treatment Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University were included.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Flashlamp-pumped PDL (Vbeam, Candela Corp., Wayland, MA) with a wavelength of 595 nm and adjustable pulse width of ~ 0.45–40 ms, equipped with a dynamic cooling device.
4:45–40 ms, equipped with a dynamic cooling device.
Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: Patients were treated with PDL, with the appearance of mild purpura as the desired treatment endpoint. The energy density, pulse width, and spot size were adjusted based on previous treatment effects.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The statistical significances of differences in treatment response based on various factors were determined by chi-square tests using SPSS Statistics.
