In pigmented seborrheic keratosis, the proliferating keratinocytes trigger the activation of neighboring melanocytes by secreting melanocyte-stimulating cytokines. The etiology of seborrheic keratosis is not known. Epidermal growth factors or their receptors have been implicated in the development of seborrheic keratosis. Seborrheic keratoses can safely be left alone, but ugly or easily traumatized ones can be removed with cryotherapy, electrodesiccation, curettage, or shave excision. The present work aims to compare two modalities of treatment for seborrheic keratosis, namely cryotherapy and hydrogen peroxide (30%). Methods: 30 patients with seborrheic keratosis were included in this study. They were divided into two groups, each with 15 patients. The treatment modalities that have been used include cryotherapy and hydrogen peroxide in three different concentrations (30%, 35%, and 40%). Result: The cryotherapy group consisted of 15 patients, 7 males and 8 females. Their ages ranged from 38 to 80 years, with a mean of 56.1 ± 11.4. Clinical and photographic assessments showed complete removal in all 15 patients in this group (100%). As regards the hydrogen peroxide group, this group included 15 patients, distributed among 7 males and 8 females. Their ages ranged from 39 to 90 years, with a mean of 53.9 ± 14.4. Clinical and photographic assessments showed response in only one small superficial lesion in one patient (6.7%) and no response in 14 patients (93.3%). Conclusion: Cryotherapy is an effective, easy, and relatively cheap method for treating seborrheic keratosis.展开更多

文摘Platinum-based materials show excellent electrocatalytic performance and have good potential for use in fuel cells.However,the high cost and scarce reserves have restricted their wide application.Therefore,it is a challenging task to reduce the amount of Pt as well as ensure good catalytic performance.Herein,anchoring of Pt single atoms(0.21 wt‰)with ultra-low content on g-C_(3)N_(4)nanosheets(Pt_(0.21)/CN)has been successfully achieved.The obtained Pt_(0.21)/CN catalyst shows excellent two-electron oxygen reduction(2e-ORR)capability for hydrogen peroxide(H_(2)O_(2)).Compared with CN,its H_(2)O_(2)selectivity increased from 80%to 98%in 0.1M KOH,surpassing those in most of the reported studies.Besides,the H_(2)O_(2)production rate of Pt_(0.21)/CN is 767 mmol gcat^(-1)h-1,which is 11.1 times that of CN.This work may pave the way toward the development of an effective method for the design of noblemetal electrocatalysts with low metal loading and high catalytic activity.
