Metabolic syndrome affects narrow-band UVB phototherapy response in patients with psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a combination of central obesity, dyslipidemia, glucose intolerance, and elevated blood pressure. Many epidemiological surveys have revealed the association of psoriasis with MS. Narrowband ultraviolet radiation b (NB-UVB) is an effective and widely used treatment for psoriasis. The purpose of this study was to investi...
متن کاملNarrow band UVB phototherapy in dermatology.
The first report of the use of ‘phototherapy’ in the treatment of skin disorders dates from 1400 BC from India when patients with vitiligo were given certain plant extracts (whose active ingredients included psoralens) and then exposed to the sun. The real interest in the use of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation in the treatment of various skin diseases started in the 19 century when Niels Finsen re...
متن کاملOxidation reduction is a key process for successful treatment of psoriasis by narrow-band UVB phototherapy.
Narrow-band UVB (NB-UVB) phototherapy is commonly used for treatment of psoriasis, though the mechanisms underlying its efficacy have not been completely elucidated. We used gene expression profiling to characterise gene expression in lesional epidermis from psoriasis patients in the middle and late stages of NB-UVB photo-therapy. Increased melanogenesis gene expression was the earliest respons...
متن کاملReversal of atopic dermatitis with narrow-band UVB phototherapy and biomarkers for therapeutic response.
BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin disease exhibiting a predominantly T(H)2/"T22" immune activation and a defective epidermal barrier. Narrow-band UVB (NB-UVB) is considered an efficient treatment for moderate-to-severe AD. In patients with psoriasis, NB-UVB has been found to suppress T(H)1/T(H)17 polarization, with subsequent reversal of epidermal hyperplasia. The ...
متن کاملNo additional effect of topical calcipotriol on narrow-band UVB phototherapy in patients with generalized vitiligo.
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE There is no definite cure for vitiligo; however, treatment responses with photobiological modalities are quite acceptable. Of all these, narrow-band UVB phototherapy was proposed rather recently. Calcipotriol has been shown to have stimulating activity on melanogenesis besides immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects. This study was performed to determine whether adding...
