The importance of attractiveness among blind persons has not been assessed. We investigated the influence of makeup on brain activity of blind persons using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Participants were 7 blind females (BFs) who learned to fully apply makeup and 9 mostly age-matched normally sighted females (NSFs). Brain activity was measured using fMRI before and after application of makeup and during a makeup image task in each state. In the default mode network at rest, there was no difference between the BFs and NSFs. However, a lateral visual network to the opposite side was observed in the NSFs, whereas no such network was noted in the BFs. A weak network was noted in the BFs in the occipital fusiform gyrus and temporal occipital fusiform cortex, and an extensive visual area network defect was noted. Also, activity after makeup application was significantly higher in the nucleus accumbens, pallidum, and hippocampus. Activity in the right middle cingulate gyrus, right cerebral white matter, and right anterior cingulate gyrus was higher before makeup in both BFs and NSFs, and the activity was significantly higher and more extensive in the BFs. In conclusion, applying makeup is a personally rewarding activity, even for BFs, as it strongly activates the reward system and the reward/memory system network, even in the absence of a visual area network.","PeriodicalId":15654,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cosmetics, Dermatological Sciences and Applications","volume":"69 1","pages":"140-154"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74466599","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}

Its impact on skin integrity, associated with increased occurrence of atopic dermatitis, is now recognized, but its cellular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Objective: In the present study we aimed at establishing the impact of urban pollutant on mitochondrial dynamics and bioenergetics using the HaCaT cell model. We also sought to establish the protective effect of ECH-5195 (red Panax ginseng extract), standardized in ginsenosides, in reversing pollution-induced mitochondrial defects. Methods: Urban pollution exposure was mimicked by 1 h exposure of HaCaT cells with standardized atmospheric particulate matter containing PAHs, nitro-PAHs, PCB congeners, and chlorinated pesticides with a mean particulate diameter of 5.85 μm (SRM1648). Results: The presence of urban pollutant in the cultures increased the prevalence of hyperfission by 1.41-fold (p = 0.023) and fission by 1.35 fold (p = 0.006) in the reticular mitochondrial network. ECH-5195 reduced both pollution-induced hyperfission by 0.54-fold (p = 0.004) and fission by 0.68-fold (p = 0.0006) normalizing the mitochondrial reticular network. Pollution exposure was associated with a significant reduction of basal OCR and increased lactate production, pushing the cell to rely on glycolysis for ATP production. When ECH-5195 was used, OCR was significantly increased, and the glycolytic contribution to ATP production was reduced while both oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial respiration were increased demonstrating mitochondrial re-engagement in ATP production. Conclusions: Pollution exposure was disruptive for both the mitochondrial network dynamics and mitochondrial respiration. Ginsenosides in ECH-5195 efficiently protected both from pollution-induced defects.","PeriodicalId":15654,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cosmetics, Dermatological Sciences and Applications","volume":"36 1","pages":"84-95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86210583","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}

In this study, we investigated the potentials of NK-enriched lymphocytes (NKEL) conditioned media (CM) on skin care for cosmeceutical compositions. Various cytokines of NKEL CM can improve wound healing through epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by increasing KLKs (kallikreins) and reduce metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and MMP-2 to inhibit wrinkle formation. Our results suggest that NKEL CM which has various cytokines promotes up-regulation of cell migration and KLKs and down-regulation of MMP-1 and MMP-2 by stimulating HaCaT keratinocytes migration. Therefore, NKEL CM can be used as a cosmetic composition that can play a role in skin regeneration and anti-aging.","PeriodicalId":15654,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cosmetics, Dermatological Sciences and Applications","volume":"55 1","pages":"123-139"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74432489","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}

Lacrimal duct obstruction or punctal stenosis is rarely reported side effect of dupilumab therapy and not fully documented. Aim: To document a new case presentation of a young female with a history of AD without previous significant ocular manifestations who developed right eye punctal stenosis while she was on Dupilumab therapy for a one-year duration. Case Report: A 19-year-old female with a long-standing history of AD and on dupilumab therapy for one year duration who developed severe punctal stenosis and continued tearing from her right eye in the last two months not responded to conservative ophthalmological medications but completely improved on discontinuation dupilumab injection over 6 months followed-up. Conclusions: Conjunctivitis is a well-known adverse effect of Dupilumab injection of a patient with AD. However, persistent conjunctivitis and tearing from the eye not improving on ophthalmology treatment might rule out punctal stenosis and discontinuation of dupilumab should be considered.","PeriodicalId":15654,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cosmetics, Dermatological Sciences and Applications","volume":"19 1","pages":"96-100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74473079","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 light penetrates into the skin and is selectively absorbed by lesion chromophore. Absorbed energy is converted into heat, coagulating the lesion, which naturally fades following the treatment. The current article presents a retrospective efficacy evaluation of an IPL device with high peak power. Methods: Representative treatment results were collected from several clinics based on photographs taken at baseline and after treatments. Photos were evaluated and analyzed for aesthetic improvement of the various skin conditions in different facial and body areas. Results: Analysis included cases of pigmented and vascular lesions, textural lesions, and more specific conditions such as melasma and rosacea. The two evaluators’ scoring demonstrated improvement in all cases according to the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) scale. Conclusion: The vast experience gathered from the market in treating various skin lesions supports the safety and efficacy of the investigated IPL device.

The authors propose a 3-point injection technique for forehead augmentation in Asian patients that uses CHAP-hyaluronic acid (CHAP-HA) filler. The longevity of the filler was assessed using high-resolution ultrasound (HRU) imaging. Fifteen patients were examined using HRU before and immediately after treatment and at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. As evident in HRU imaging, CHAP-HA remained visible within surrounding tissue for 6.4 ± 3.7 months. The mean Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale rating was 2.4 ± 0.5 immediately after treatment, 2.8 ± 0.3 at 1 month, 2.7 ± 0.5 at 3 months, 2.1 ± 0.6 at 6 months, and 1.5 ± 0.6 at 12 months.

Background: There is a clinical report of psoriasis treatment by umbilical cord blood-derived stem cells, in which there was a beneficial result. These clinical results are the result of cord blood-derived cell growth factors. The umbilical cord blood-derived stem cell culture supernatant contains a high amount of TGF-β, PDGA, etc., and promotes wound healing. In addition, we suppose that the supernatant has the esthetic effect of improving skin condition, thus, we planned to make a clinical evaluation. However, it is difficult to set judgement criteria, and human judgement tends to be subjective. Therefore, in this study, as a new clinical evaluator, we used an AI skin diagnostic device with learning function. Methods: Stem cell culture supernatant Biocell Shot 65 was used as an introduction solution. After it was applied to the full faces of four patients, electroporation with BeBe pinocchio DM-5 SUPER DX Plus promoted infiltration deep in the keratinized layer. The patients were all healthy women in their forties. This procedure was performed every two weeks for three months. Wrinkles, fine lines around eyes, stains, pores, and 4V, which is considered as one diagnostic criteria, were evaluated at baseline and after each procedure with the skin diagnostic device HiMirror-Professional. In this study, macroscopic findings were not examined. Results: In all four patients, 4V did not change remarkably. Patient 1 showed improvement after the procedure in wrinkles, fine lines around eyes, stains, and pores. Patient 2 revealed improvement only in fine lines around eyes, but did not show improvement in other items. Patient 3 improved in wrinkles, stains, and pores only after the second procedure, but did not show improvement in the other procedures. Patient 4 improved in all items except 4V after the fourth procedure. In addition, when the mean values of all the patients were plotted and compared before and after each procedure, there was a trend toward improvements after the fifth procedure. Conclusion: In addition to application of supernatant culture to the skin, introduction of the solution to the skin by electroporation might improve stains, wrinkles, and pores. Our evaluation was performed with a facial diagnostic device three months after the start of the procedure.","PeriodicalId":15654,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cosmetics, Dermatological Sciences and Applications","volume":"26 1","pages":"58-70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81020223","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 skin pH is crucial for physiological skin function. In aged or diseased skin, pH increase is observed and may negatively affect skin health. Skin care products with a pH that is slightly more acidic than the average normal skin pH and have an adequate buffering capacity, are considered beneficial for the skin. However, the buffer capacity of these products also plays an important role. In the present study, a possible normalization or acidification of skin surface pH and influence on skin hydration and skin barrier function was assessed via application of buffered skin care products that are formulated with pH ≤ 4.5. 48 subjects aged above 50 were treated with three different skin care products (Vitamin C Spheres, Collagen Spray, and Collagen Mask) and skin surface pH, skin hydration and barrier integrity were assessed before treatment start and after 4 weeks. The results show that after 4-week treatment with Vitamin C, the skin pH is acidified. Treatment with Collagen Spray and Collagen Mask showed maintenance of a physiological skin pH. Subgroup analysis of subjects that had a higher than average skin pH at study start demonstrated that all three tested skin care products were able to acidify the skin surface. In addition, skin hydration was also increased for two of the three tested products, whereas skin barrier is not significantly changed. This demonstrates that buffered skin care products formulated to a pH ≤ 4.5 are able to acidify and maintain physiological skin pH and may contribute to a physiological skin function.","PeriodicalId":15654,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cosmetics, Dermatological Sciences and Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"44-57"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83160903","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}
