Laser for vascular anomalies: successful outcomes in children
摘要： Vascular anomalies can cause both emotional and physical distress to patients, particularly children. The paediatric laser service at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) treats a range of dermatological conditions including a variety of vascular anomalies, excess hair growth and disfiguring scars. The laser team at GOSH has 25 years of experience in treating a wide variety of paediatric dermatological conditions using various laser therapies. With over 600 new referrals for laser therapy and over 1000 laser procedures each year the GOSH laser team has vast amounts of experience with both common and rare conditions. Excellent clinical outcomes continue to be delivered, and new treatment therapies are constantly being developed to treat more recalcitrant lesions. The adverse effect rates experienced by the GOSH laser patients have been decreasing over the past two decades, reaching the low rate of 0.8% per treated patients per year. This remarkable achievement has been continuously improved by integrating specific and standardized laser protocols for each patient treated, to ensure efficacious and safe laser treatment delivery. Treating vascular anomalies with laser therapy creates significant positive results among the paediatric population, thus laser therapy at GOSH makes a significant impact upon children’s lives with both rare and common vascular anomalies.

Shedding light on photodynamic therapy for basal cell carcinoma
摘要： The recognition of photodynamic therapy (PDT) as an effective treatment of cancers was due, in large part, to the studies of Thomas Dougherty and his colleagues at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, NY, started in the 1970s.1 In those studies, intravenous porphyrin derivatives and visible light were used. Topical PDT treatment, currently widely performed in dermatology, uses topically applied 5-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) or ALA esters.2,3 ALA is converted to protoporphyrin IX in the epidermis. On exposure of protoporphyrin IX to its absorption spectrum in the visible light range, oxygen-dependent phototoxic reaction occurs resulting in cytotoxicity.
