Natural aging affects the structural integrity of the collagen network, resulting in drier skin, wrinkle formation and reduced skin elasticity. Orally ingested hydrolyzed collagen reaches the skin tissue and exerts beneficial effects on human skin from within. However, not only collagen peptides, but also micronutrients can beneficially affect skin appearance. Thus, dietary supplements for cosmetic and beauty effects containing combinations of collagen peptides and selected micronutrients are in demand. Aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a food supplement with collagen hydrolysate and micronutrients on skin beauty. The test product was assessed for its capability to reduce wrinkles and to improve skin hydration and collagen structure.","PeriodicalId":281715,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical and Cosmetic Dermatology","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125505657","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}

GFF demonstrates anti-aging, barrier health, and putative hypopigmenting effects in skin, prompting vitiligo therapeutic potential; thus, the antioxidant properties of GFF are the focus of our study. Foreskin derived Normal Human Epidermal Melanocytes (NHEM) were treated with 0-10% GFF. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) were assessed by fluorescent microscopy and luminescence. The mRNA and protein expression were quantitated by RNA-seq transcriptome profiling and Western blot analyses, respectively. GFF sustained cell viability and combated ROS generation in NHEM challenged with 4-Tertiary Butylphenol (4TBP). GFF also suppressed Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) generation in NHEM irradiated with Ultraviolet-B (UVB). RNA-seq and Western blot analyses revealed that GFF significantly altered the mRNA and protein levels of phase II antioxidant enzymes (HO1, NQO1, TXNRD1) mediated by nuclear factor, erythroid 2-like 2 (Nrf2)-Antioxidant Response Element (ARE) pathway. HO1 was highly inducible in both the cytoplasm and nucleus in NHEM (6and 8-fold). Altogether, GFF effectively suppresses the generation of ROS in part by up regulating the endogenous levels of antioxidant enzymes via activating the Nrf2-ARE pathway; thus, priming and protecting NHEM against oxidative assaults.","PeriodicalId":281715,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical and Cosmetic Dermatology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130118668","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}

Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM), a next generation PRP is the latest addition which is based on the premise of slow and sustained release of growth factors [4] mimicking the natural wound healing process. The concentration of platelets is higher in PRP but a study showed that, when incorporated into fibrin, the mean concentration of growth factors in the platelet concentrates was three times or more than that observed with conventional platelet-rich plasma. The membrane can be easily placed on the ulcer with minimal chances of displacement. Thus giving PRFM an edge over PRP in wound healing. Autologous PRFM is prepared from patients own blood thus being free from risk of communicable pathogens, is easy to prepare with long lasting as well as good clinical results. the Efficacy and Safety of Autologous Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix in the Treatment of Non-Healing Ulcer of Various Abstract Rationale: Chronic Non-Healing Ulcers (NHU) is those which persists for more than 6 weeks and may be due to underlying factors like venous stasis, peripheral neuropathy, immobility, etc. Chronic ulcers are associated with decreased quality of life and also pose a financial burden on the patient as well as society. The failure of NHU to respond to the various modalities available lead to the search for growth factors requisite for wound healing resulting in the development of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) is a next generation of PRP that has shown promising result in our study. Objectives: This study was done to evaluate the efficacy and safety of autologous platelet rich fibrin matrix in the treatment of non-healing ulcer of various aetiology. Results: All the ulcers responded to the treatment with decrease in pain and discharge beginning from first sitting. The mean time to ulcer healing was 6.43+2.33 weeks. There was 100% improvement in volume at the end of 8 weeks and 96% improvement in area at the end of 12 weeks. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that Autologous PRFM is a safe and efficacious method for the treatment of non-healing ulcer and at the same time simple and highly cost effective method.","PeriodicalId":281715,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical and Cosmetic Dermatology","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126222335","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}
