The synbiotic ability of probiotic bacteria and konjac glucomannan hydrolysates (GMH) to inhibit acne-inducing bacterium, Propionibacterium acnes growth was studied in vitro. All probiotic bacteria strains tested were able to inhibit the growth of this species of skin bacterium where the inhibition was significantly (P < 0.01) enhanced by the presence of the GMH prebiotic. As the current treatment of acne is based on topical or systemic drugs, it is worth examining further the biotherapeutic activities of the GMH and selected probiotics with a view to future use as prophylactic or therapeutic synbiotics for treating acne i...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Hair fibres have no active renewable protective mechanisms yet hair (wool and fur) provides an essential protective function. Therefore, it is possible that hair contains a number of internal components to maintain fibre and protein structure and function through a range of normal environmental conditions. Trimethylglycine (betaine) provides cellular and protein protection during times of high osmotic stress and low water concentrations. These conditions are very pertinent to everyday cosmetic procedures such as shampooing, bleach or perming. Therefore, we have conducted preliminary investigations to establish the presence...

A bioactive complex to protect proteins from UV-induced oxidation in human epidermis1Email this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
UV light induces multiple damages including protein oxidation on skin. Oxidized proteins if not degraded by the proteasome would eventually accumulate causing metabolic damage, elastosis and pigment formation such as lipofuscin. During ageing, the activity of the proteasome decreases dramatically together with enzymes that protect from oxidation and as a result oxidized proteins accumulate. We have investigated a combination of Panthenyl triacetate and Ethyl linoleate (bioactive complex) to fight against protein oxidation. This complex when tested at 3% on human skin biopsies showed statistically significant protection fro...

The antioxidant activity (AA) of substances present in several plant species has been widely studied which reflects their fundamental role in the protection of skin tissue against the harmful action of reactive oxygen species. Given the importance of effective and long-lasting protection against ultraviolet radiation, we studied the AA of several plant derivatives and extracts over time. Several chemical in vitro methods may be used to evaluate antioxidant capability, among which the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method stands out, despite its unspecificity, as the most cited and described method in the literature. ...

The efficacy of a 1064-nm Q-switched neodymium:yttrium[ndash]aluminium[ndash]garnet (QS Nd:YAG) laser with low pulse energy in the treatment of melasma in 25 women was assessed by retrospective analysis of clinical photographs and patient satisfaction rates. Follow-up results 2 months after the last treatment revealed that, as defined by our grading scale, 11 of the 25 patients (44%) had marked clinical improvement: 7 of these (28%) had near-total clinical improvement, 5 had moderate clinical improvement and 2 had minimal to no improvement. Our data suggest that the use of a QS Nd:YAG laser with low pulse energy is an effe...

Skin around venous leg ulcers (VLUs) is often inflamed and prone to contact sensitization. Expression of tight-junction components (ZO-1, occludin, and claudins 1 and 4) was studied by immunofluorescence in inflamed and noninflamed lower leg skin (both uncovered skin and skin occluded under hydrocolloid dressings) in patients with VLUs. No major differences were found in the expression of occludin and claudin-4. ZO-1 protein had stronger and more wide-ranging expression in the inflamed epidermis. Expression of claudin-1 was lost from the basal layer of the inflamed skin and skin under the hydrocolloid dressing. The skin on...

Meningiomas of the skin are extremely rare. In this case of a congenital meningioma of the scalp, magnetic resonance imaging showed no communication to the meninges. The histological examination discovered a small group of meningioma cells in the periosteum, supporting the assumption that primary cutaneous meningiomas may develop from rudimentary meningoceles.

We report three cases of photosensitivity induced by fluvoxamine and paroxetine. These photoallergic reactions suggest cross-reactivity between different molecules. Methylation metabolism could explain common photosensitization. Although these drugs are widely prescribed, such photosensitization is rare. Nevertheless, we consider that clinicians and patients should be aware of the risk of photosensitization and these drugs should be stopped before phototherapy or prolonged sun exposure.

We report a unique case of papular mucinosis on genital skin. The lesion was initially misdiagnosed and mistreated as molluscum contagiosum. The histological sections showed a large amount of mucin with sparse plump fibroblasts. The papules resolved in a few weeks, indicating a very rare form of the adult variant of self-healing papular mucinosis. Genital localization of this peculiar mucinosis, which we suspect may be more common than reported, is an important clinical simulator of sexually transmitted disease, and correct diagnosis is important for appropriate treatment.
