Irritancy and Allergic Responses Induced by Exposure to the Indoor Air Chemical 4-Oxopentanal
18, May 2012Over the last two decades, there has been an increasing awareness regarding the potential impact of indoor air pollution on human health.
Increased in vitro differentiation of fibrocytes from keloid patients is inhibited by serum amyloid P
4, May 2012AbstractKeloid scarring is a form of fibroproliferative dermal wound healing characterized by growth beyond the confines of the original wound. Fibrocytes, derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells and inhibited by serum amyloid P (SAP), have been linked to other fibroproliferative diseases. We hypothesized that peripheral blood mononuclear cells of keloid formers have a higher propensity to differentiate into fibrocytes and are more resistant to the effects of SAP

IntroductionTumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a proinflammatory cytokine which plays a central role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We investigated the effects of certolizumab pegol, a TNF-alpha blocker, on endothelial cell (EC) function and angiogenesis
This study indicates that Mesoglow® and IAL System® are equally effective in achieving short‐term correction of NLFs, but the longevity of their effects is limited. (Source: International Journal of Dermatology)
Autologous Platelet‐Rich Plasma: A Potential Therapeutic Tool for Promoting Hair Growth
27, Mar 2012ConclusionsAlthough few studies tested the effects of activated PRP on hair growth, this research provides support for possible clinical application of autologous PRP and its secretory factors for promotion of hair growth. (Source: Dermatologic Surgery)
Lack of irritative potential of nadifloxacin 1% when combined with other topical anti‐acne agents
18, Feb 2012Conclusions. Combined application of nadifloxacin with any of the other four topical anti‐acne products did not lead to substantial intolerance reactions compared with the effects after application of the products alone. (Source: Clinical And Experimental Dermatology)

Chronic ethanol (EtOH) feeding induces subset loss and hypo-responsiveness in multiple skin T cell populations
17, Feb 2012Alcoholism is associated with cutaneous immune deficiency and while the basis for this is largely unknown, the sensitivity of skin immune cells to EtOH has been clearly demonstrated. Murine models of alcoholism have shown that EtOH reduces skin dendritic cell (DC) numbers and compromises their migratory capacity following skin sensitization.
AbstractBacteria colonizing chronic wounds often exist as biofilms, yet their role in chronic wound pathogenesis remains unclear.
