Topical corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment in inflammatory skin diseases. Corticosteroids penetrate human skin, especially when the penetration barrier is damaged. Whether long-term application of topical corticosteroids can lead to alteration of immune responses is not clear.

متن کاملSpontaneous Mesenchymal to Epithelial Like Tissue Transition (MET) in a Long Term Human Skin Culture
In an attempt to isolate multipotent stem cells from foreskin in a long-term culture, we encountered an interesting phenomenon which was the conversion of the fibroblast dominant condition to epithelial-like tissue formation. However, the basic mechanism(s) which may be involved in this conversion is not clear. This study was designed to evaluate the cells protein secretion activity and examine...

The glucocortoid components are anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, anti-proliferative and vasoconstrictive. They influence the metabolism of carbohydrate and protein, in addition to playing a key role in the body's stress response....
متن کاملA Comparative Study on Clinical Response of Topical Tazoretene to Topical Corticosteroids in Chronic Plaque Psoriasis
Tazarotene, the first of new generation receptor selective topical retinoid, currently being investigated and widely used in treatment of mild to moderate psoriasis. The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of topical tazarotene gel 0.1% in comparison with corticosteroid mometasone furoate 0.1% cream in treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis. 50 patients of chronic plaqu...
