Of the porphyrias, it is the most mutilating type, usually presenting early in life. We present a patient who developed skin fragility of sun-exposed skin and red urine at the age of 72 years. Porphyrin profile showed plasma maximum fluorescence at neutral pH of 617 nm. In plasma, urine and erythrocytes, the predominant porphyrins were uroporphyrin and coproporphyrin. In all specimens, isomer I predominated. Urine δ-aminolevulinic acid and porphobilinogen, and erythrocyte uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase levels were within nomal limits. These finding were consistent with congenital erythropoietic porphyria. Thrombocytopenia and myelodysplasia with bone-marrow sideroblasts were also incidentally discovered. Including our patient, only 12 cases of late onset congenital erythropoietic porphyria have been reported worldwide, with our patient being the oldest. Patients who develop late onset congenital erythropoietic porphyria develop less severe manifestations, possibly due to heterogeneous mutations in the defective enzyme. Of the 12 reported cases, seven had thrombocytopenia, six of which also had myelodysplasia.","PeriodicalId":20104,"journal":{"name":"Photodermatology, Photoimmunology and Photomedicine","volume":"21 1","pages":"105-105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76550090","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}

Fluoresence bands in the UV have been assigned to tryptophan moieties, pepsin digestible collagen cross-links (PDCCL), collagenase digestible collagen cross-links (CDCCL) and elastin cross-links. We have studied the dependence of these bands to aging and photoaging in the hairless mouse model and in humans. In the mouse, gluorescence of the tryptophan moieties decreases linearly with age, while the fluorescence band due to PDCCL increases linearly with age. In contrast, chronically UVB exposed mice showed an increase in the tryptophan band and a dramatic reduction of the PDCCL band compared to age-matched controls. The same phenomena were observed on mouse skin immediately after UVA exposure. The dependence of fluorescence of human facial skin with aging was studied in a large population sample (> 500 people in total) ages 15–70 at five geographic locations. Similar to the mouse model we observed a decrease in the tryptophan fluorescence signal, which is probably related to the reduction of the cell turnover rate with aging. Furthermore, observed increases in the fluorescence signals corresponding to collagen and elastin cross-links with aging may be attributed to chronic accumulation of cross-links in these long-lived molecules. The fluorescence ratio of the elastin cross-links signal to that of tryptophan moieties correlates strongly with age and is independent of geographical region and seasonal effects. The same fluorescence ratio has been used to monitor the antiaging effects of retinol treatment.","PeriodicalId":20104,"journal":{"name":"Photodermatology, Photoimmunology and Photomedicine","volume":"103 1","pages":"105-105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77734874","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 objectives of this study were to prospectively assess the tumor responses and cosmetic outcomes of verteporfin-treated NMSC. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Patients and methods: This was a phase 11, open-label, light-dose ranging, multicenter study of 54 patients with multiple NMSC. A total of 421 biopsy-proven tumors that were either basal cell carcinomas or in situ squamous cell carcinomas underwent PDT with intravenous verteporfin 14 mg/m2 followed by exposure to red light from LED diode arrays (658-718 nm FWHM) at fluences of 60, 120, or 180 J/cm2. Each patient was randomly assigned to receive one of the three light doses to all their tumors. Treated tumors underwent follow up biopsies at 6 months after the initial PDT session to determine the pathologic complete response rate. In addition, the treated tumors were assessed clinically for up to 24 months. The cosmetic outcome of each treated tumor site was assessed by the investigators based on color, profile, and surface texture. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results: The pathologic complete response rates at 6 months were 69, 79, and 93% for the 60, 120 and 180 J/cm2 light fluences, respectively. The clinical complete response rates by tumor at 6 months were 78, 89 and 98% at 60, 120 and 180 J/cm2, respectively, while at 24 months, the corresponding rates were 51, 79, and 95%. The cosmetic outcome by tumor at 24 months judged by the investigator to have achieved at least a satisfactory or higher outcome was 92, 76, and 86% at 60, 120 and 180 J/cm2, respectively. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Conclusions: PDT of NMSC with verteporfin provides effective tumor clearing that is dose-dependent with satisfactory to excellent outcomes in the majority of patients.","PeriodicalId":20104,"journal":{"name":"Photodermatology, Photoimmunology and Photomedicine","volume":"60 1","pages":"105-105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78724577","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}

Since chronic hand dermatitis is also mediated by T-cells, we hypothesized that UVA- 1 would be an effective treatment for that disease as well. Five subjects with recalcitrant hand dermatitis caused by dyshidrosis and/or chronic irritancy were treated with a medium dose regimen of UVA- 1. This consisted of 15 treatments of 60 J/cm2 UVA 1 over 3 weeks. Subjects received a total of 900 J/cm2.

The other plaque was used as a non-exposed control. Blinded clinical evaluations were performed at baseline and every week during the 4-week treatment period as well as at 1 and 3 weeks after the last exposure.
