It indicates cellular activity and improves strength and flexibility. Collagen synthesis is influenced by a number of factors, including age, health, infection, and diet. Collagen dressings often have the ability to increase the production of collagen. Collagen production can be adversely affected by infected cutaneous wounds, which can result in a delayed healing process, a higher risk of scarring, weakened tissue, and functional impairment. For this reason, in order to speed up wound healing, antimicrobial agents have been added to the collagen scaffold. Furthermore, the prolonged delivery of antimicrobial agent-loaded gelatin microspheres to infected wounds promotes quicker wound healing and effective collagen synthesis in the granulated tissue. These scaffolds may make superior wound dressings in clinical settings in light of this relationship.","PeriodicalId":479747,"journal":{"name":"Dermatological Health","volume":"4 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141642211","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}

Methods: The selected surgical plan divided 60 patients with eye bags into two groups. One group served as the control group and adopted the traditional myocutaneous flap method, while the other group was the observation group that implemented the modified myocutaneous flap method combined with orbital septum fixation. The general clinical observation indicators, treatment effect-related observation indicators, postoperative complication rates, and disease recurrence rates were compared between the two groups. Results: The total treatment time and postoperative recovery time of the observation group were significantly shorter than those of the control group. The degree of postoperative eye bag ptosis and lower eyelid skin wrinkle scores of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group. The nasolacrimal groove, skin glossiness, and White Aesthetics Score (WES) of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group. The total incidence of complications and disease recurrence rate in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The modified myocutaneous flap method combined with orbital septum fixation for patients with eye bags can shorten the treatment and postoperative recovery time, improve the aesthetics of the eyes and face, and reduce the occurrence and recurrence rates of postoperative complications, thus it is worthy of promotion.","PeriodicalId":479747,"journal":{"name":"Dermatological Health","volume":"51 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139450787","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}

Methods: 50 children with eczema who received treatment in our hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected as research subjects and divided into 25 cases in a group using the computer randomization method. In addition to basic treatment for both groups, patients in the control group were treated with cetirizine, while the observation group was treated with Bifidobacterium triple viable bacteria and cetirizine. The immunoglobulin levels, inflammatory factor levels, intestinal flora numbers, treatment effects, and recurrence rates within six months were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results: Before treatment, there was little difference in the indicators between the two groups of children (P> 0.05). After treatment, various immunoglobulins (IgM and IgG), inflammatory factors (interleukin-4 and interleukin-10), and the number of intestinal flora (including Escherichia coli, Lactobacillus, and Bifidobacterium) in the observation group was better than that of the control group, the total effective rate of treatment was higher than that of the control group, and the recurrence rate within six months was lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05).

Considering the reported role of Malassezia spp. in the pathogenesis of several dermatologic diseases, it is of scientific and practical importance to investigate this issue. Aim: To evaluate the antifungal activity of external forms of activated zinc pyrithione in the treatment of psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and pityriasis versicolor. Method: An open-label prospective study was conducted between March and July 2022. Patients with psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and pityriasis versicolor were treated with external forms of activated zinc pyrithione for 21 days. Skin scales and circular prints from lesion foci, as well as from skin areas without clinical manifestations before and after therapy were studied. A quantitative assessment of skin colonization by micromycetes of Malassezia was performed using microscopic and cultural methods of examination. Clinical efficacy and drug safety of the therapy was assessed using the Dermatological Symptom Scale Index, by recording adverse events at weeks 0, 1, 2, and 3. Results: 64 patients aged 18 to 65 years with diagnoses of psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and pityriasis versicolor were included. 60 patients completed the study, 4 were excluded due to failure to adhere to the schedule. In patients with seborrheic dermatitis and pityriasis versicolor in the lesion foci after therapy, a significant decrease was observed in the colonization level according to the results of microscopic and cultural studies. In psoriasis patients, a significant decrease in the colonization level was obtained only based on the results of microscopic examination. In all groups, significant differences in comparison to the initial level were observed at the 1st week of treatment. There was no adverse events observed. Conclusion: Activated zinc pyrithione in the form of cream and aerosol showed moderate antifungal activity against micromycetes of the genus Malassezia.","PeriodicalId":479747,"journal":{"name":"Dermatological Health","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135616976","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}
