Short-term curative effect and safety of propranolol combined with laser in the treatment of infantile hemangiomas. Oncol Lett. 2018 Nov;16(5):6561-6565 Authors: Sun X, Liu X, Lu N, Yao S, Xu X, Niu L Abstract Short-term curative effect and safety of propranolol combined with laser in the treatment of infantile hemangiomas was studied, so as to provide reference for clinical treatment. A total of 100 cases of infantile hemangiomas admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from October 2014 to June 2016 were selected into this study. According to the random number table method, they were divided into the control group and the observation group, with 50 cases in each group. The infant patients in the control group were treated with laser alone, and the infant patients in the observation group were treated with propranolol combined with laser. The healing time, the number of times of laser therapy, the short-term curative effect, the changes in serum inflammatory factors before and after treatment and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups of infant patients. The healing time and the times of laser therapy of the infant patients in the observation group were less than those of the infant patients in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (p<0.05). The short-term curative effect of the observation group (98%) was higher than that of the control grou...
