Sunscreen ingredients including avobenzone, octocrylene, ecamsule, homosalate, octisalate, enzacamene, octinoxate, and oxybenzone were detected more than 0.5 ng/mL after in blood 1-4 daily applications. Sunscreen application reduces the risk of sunlight harmful effects but could have advers effects related to their percutaneous penetration.

This study aimed to declare the correlation between dyslipidemia and Psoriasis. Patents and methods: Ninety-tow patients (29 patients with PSA and 63 patients with psoriasis vulgaris) and 88 healthy, age and sex-matched controls were recruited for the study. Serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoproteins (HDL), and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) were measured. The severity of Psoriasis and PsA activity was assessed using the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and the Disease Activity Score using 28 joints (DAS28) for patients with Psoriasis and PSA, respectively. Results: HDL level was significantly lower in the patients than in controls. TC, TG, and LDL levels were significantly higher in the patient group than those in the control group. There are no significant differences in serum TC, TG, LDL, and HDL levels in Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The serum TC, TG, LDL, and HDL levels were not related to disease duration but were associated with high disease activity. Conclusion: Dyslipidemia was found in a high percentage of psoriatic and PsA patients than in healthy controls. Dyslipidemia was associated with high disease activity in psoriatic and PsA patients.

Early birth in preterm infants causes immaturity of the barrier development, in the form of a thinner stratum corneum. Therefore extra care is needed to maintain the integrity of their skin to prevent infection, where the main recommendation is the administration of emollients, such as coconut oil. Virgin coconut oil contains nutrients and lauric acid that are more maintained and higher than coconut oil. Changes in skin integrity can cause extensive skin damage and become risk factors for infection. Erythema or damage to the skin such as erosion, excoriation, or crusting can be an early symptom of life-threatening infection in preterm infants. Assessment of skin integrity can be assessed objectively using the Neonatal Skin Condition Score (NSCS). Virgin coconut oil as an emollient with its antimicrobial activity is expected to allow improvement of the barrier structure of the skin. Aim: The purpose of this study is to review previous studies to provide a systematic summary of the effectiveness of topical coconut oil in improving the skin integrity of premature infants. Methods: Searching the electronic database Pubmed-MEDLINE, Scopus, ProQuest, Cochrane library, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Google Scholar, found five most relevant articles included in the qualitative and two of those five articles included in the meta-analysis. Result: The meta-analysis of the effect of topical VCO compared with control on NSCS values in preterm infants showed the value of heterogeneity test with Tau2=0.04 df=1; p=0.13, I2=55%. The value of the Q statistic was z value = 5.23 (p < 0.001). This shows that the overall administration of topical VCO can significantly improve the value of NSCS on preterm infants. The results of the overall meta-analysis showed that the overall standardized mean difference in NSCS between the intervention group compared to control was -0.93[-1.28 -0.58] (p < 0.001). These results indicate that the overall NSCS value of the intervention group was significantly better than the control group. Conclusion: Data from a systematic review and meta-analysis showed that the application of VCO can provide significantly better results in improving the skin integrity of preterm infants.","PeriodicalId":11152,"journal":{"name":"Dermatology Research","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78579977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The risk factors for premature canities are multifactorial. The role of micronutrient deficiency has long been suggested to be involved in the etiopathogenesis of premature canities. The management of premature canities remains limited and far from satisfactory; hence, knowing what vitamins and minerals can help in treating premature canities is vital. Aim: This study aims to analyze serum vitamin B12, iron, ferritin, copper, calcium, and zinc levels in premature canities. Methods: The MEDLINE/PubMed electronic database, Cochrane library, ClinicalTrials.gov, EBSCO, Scopus, ProQuest, Cambridge Core, reference lists, conference proceedings, and researchers in fields of eligible studies were searched. Twelve studies (n = 1791 subjects) were included in qualitative analysis of which nine studies (n = 1381 subjects) were included in meta-analysis. Serum levels of micronutrients (vitamin B12, iron, ferritin, copper, calcium, and zinc) were compared in the premature canities and nonpremature canities groups. Result: Pooling of data using fixed-effects model found the overall effect mean difference serum vitamin B12 level was −0.697 ± 0.105 (95% CI = −0.904 to −0.490), p < 0.001. The overall mean difference serum iron level was 0.146 ± 0.105 (95% CI = −0.058 to 0.350), p = 0.161. The overall mean difference serum ferritin level was 0.720 ± 0.071 (95% CI = 0.585 to 0.854), p < 0.001. The overall mean difference serum copper level was 0.230 ± 0.118 (95% CI = −0.003 to 0.463, p = 0.053. The overall mean difference serum calcium level was −0.443 ± 0.114 (95% CI = −0.655 to −0.212), p < 0.001. The overall mean difference serum zinc level was −0.104 ± 0.138 (95% CI = 0.377 to 0.170, p = 0.457. Qualitative analysis showed that vitamin B12 plays an important role in DNA synthesis in the proliferation of hair follicle cells and in melanogenesis. Iron, ferritin, copper, calcium, and zinc also play important roles in stabilizing and increasing tyrosinase activity in several stages of the melanogenesis process. Conclusion: The meta-analysis showed that serum levels of vitamin B12, ferritin, and calcium were significantly lower in premature canities. Although the lower serum iron, copper, and zinc levels were not significantly different in premature canities compared with nonpremature canities. Qualitative analysis found that deficiency of vitamin B12, iron, ferritin, zinc, copper, and calcium can affect the physiology of hair melanogenesis that causing premature canities.","PeriodicalId":11152,"journal":{"name":"Dermatology Research","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87114305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To improve the skin barrier, a moisturizer is needed to repair the skin barrier. Besides, the ceramide gold standard of moisturizer for diaper dermatitis, topical ingredients with natural ingredients can be used, for example, topical Aloe vera. Objective: To prove the effectiveness of topical Aloe vera moisturizer compared to other topical ingredients against diaper dermatitis. Methods: The results of the electronic database search Medline Pubmed, Scopus, EBSCOhost, ProQuest, Cochrane library, ClinicalTrials.gov, found 5 articles were included in the qualitative review (n = 289 subjects) and 4 articles (n = 214 subjects) were included in the meta-analysis. Results: Meta-analysis showed that after the administration of topical Aloe vera, there was a mean difference in the score of the degree of diaper dermatitis before and after therapy, the result showed negative value in the studies which were included the treatment group with Aloe vera. This indicates a decrease in the degree of diaper dermatitis after treatment with Aloe vera. The control group also showed that the mean score difference in the degree of diaper dermatitis after administration of control therapy was all negative. This shows that after the administration of therapy in the control group there was also a decrease in the score of the degree of dermatitis. The biggest decrease in the degree of diaper dermatitis was in the study conducted by Murni 2020, which was -2.10 ± 1.39. The lowest decrease in the degree of diaper dermatitis was found in the study conducted by Badelbuu 2019 B which received Chamomile, which was -0.93 ± 1.08. Meanwhile, in the Panahi’s study, the heterogeneity test results showed the value of Q=5,324 df=43; p=0,256, I2=24,866. This shows that the data is homogeneous, it is in line with the results of the statistical Q test and heterogeneity, the results of the I2 test obtained p < 0.001 which also indicates the data is homogeneous. The analysis was carried out using a fixed effect model because the data were homogeneous. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the statistical Q value was z value = -0.969 (p = 0.047). It has quite meaningful results. Conclusion: The meta-analysis showed that statistically there were only slight differences, but there were also studies that provided significant results. Topical application of Aloe vera appears to be more effective. The results of qualitative analysis on other skin barrier function parameters indicate that topical Aloe vera can improve skin barrier function in diaper dermatitis patients. In addition, it provides the same results as standard therapy and several other topical therapies that had been studied which had a good effect on repairing the skin barrier.","PeriodicalId":11152,"journal":{"name":"Dermatology Research","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83025848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been reported in patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) suggesting the percutaneous transmission of this infection which may cause the exacerbation of psoriasis. Interestingly, elevated expression of ACE2 receptor on differentiating keratinocytes and basal cell layer of the epidermis of patients with psoriasis and COVID-19 involving pro inflammatory cytokines such as IFN-γ and IL-17, has been reported; however little is known about the participation of other receptors expressed on the surface of psoriatic keratinocytes, in the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Here we hypothesize that, in the skin of patients with psoriasis who have been diagnosed with COVID-19, the interaction of the SARS-CoV-2 S glycoprotein with the HSPGs Synd-1 and CD44 through their HS side chains and N-linked glycan, and Gal-3 and Gal-8 through the N- glycans located on the ACE2, integrin-β1, CD147, IFN-γR and IL-17A-R, would generate a Gal-glycan lattice at the surface of SARS-CoV-2 virus and psoriatic keratinocyte. Such Gal-glycan lattice in addition to influence keratinocyte proliferation and terminal differentiation, might induce conformational changes in the SARS-CoV-2 S glycoprotein facilitating the attachment and virus entry. We consider that future work will be required to understand the mechanisms regulating Gal-glycan lattice assembly during psoriatic keratinocyte and SARS-CoV-2 interaction as well as for the development of new inhibitors of virus attachment and internalization.","PeriodicalId":11152,"journal":{"name":"Dermatology Research","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89261313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
