研究目的
This study aimed to compare the value of different non-invasive diagnostic techniques used for HMME-PDT treatment evaluation in PWS.
研究成果
The study concluded that non-invasive diagnostic techniques (VISIA-CRTM, dermoscopy, HFUS, LSCI) are valuable for objectively evaluating HMME-PDT in PWS. VISIA-CRTM can detect invisible lesions and monitor fading, dermoscopy aids in classification and dose adjustment, while HFUS and LSCI assist in assessing treatment response. These methods provide a basis for improved clinical evaluation and future research.
研究不足
The study had limitations such as the small sample size (31 lesions from 22 patients), potential variability in patient compliance (especially for children), and environmental factors affecting LSCI measurements (e.g., temperature and physical activity). Additionally, HFUS resolution may not detect all small blood vessels, and not all techniques were applicable to all patients.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved treating 31 lesions from 22 patients with HMME-PDT and using four non-invasive diagnostic techniques (VISIA-CRTM system, dermoscopy, high-frequency ultrasound, and laser speckle imager) to evaluate the treatment before and after therapy. The design rationale was to objectively assess skin color, thickness, blood vessel morphology, distribution, and perfusion changes.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Patients were outpatients with PWS lesions on the face and neck, aged 3 to 39, including 12 females. Lesions were classified as pink, purple, or thickening types. Data were collected from Shanghai Skin Disease Hospital between March 2017 and January
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
20 Equipment included VISIA-CRTM system (Canfield, USA), dermoscopy (MoleMax HD, Derma Medical Systems), high-frequency ultrasound (MD-300S, MEDA Co., Ltd.), laser speckle imager (MoorFLPI, Moor Instruments Ltd.), 532nm LED light source, and hemoporfin.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Patients received intravenous hemoporfin (5mg/kg), followed by irradiation with 532nm LED light (80-100mW/cm2, 20-30 minutes). Non-invasive techniques were applied before and after treatment in a controlled environment by the same clinician.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Statistical analysis used Chi-square tests for group comparisons and Spearman correlation tests for efficacy rating correlations, with SPSS22.0 software.
