- Abstract
Objective: Studies have shown that neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet / lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV) can be used in CSU to evaluate inflammation marker and response to treatment. In our study, we aimed to compare the NLR, PLR and MPV values in the control group and pre-treatment patient groups, and to investigate the changes with antihistamine treatment and omalizumab treatment in the CSU patient group and control group. Materials and Methods: 146 patients who applied to Manisa Celal Bayar University Dermatology and Venereal Diseases outpatient clinic, with a diagnosis of chronic spontaneous urticaria, using antihistamine or omalizumab were included in the study. Results: The neutrophil and NLR values of the antihistamine and omalizumab treatment group with CSU diagnosis were found to be significantly higher than the pre-treatment control group, but there was no significant difference between each other. Platelet count was found higher and MPV value was found lower in omalizumab group compare to control group. In the omalizumab group, a significant decrease in neutrophil count and platelet count was measured at 3rd months. Conclusion: Neutrophil count, platelet count, NLR values were higher and MPV values were found to be low compared to the control group, these values can be used to measure disease activity. After the treatment, a significant decrease in neutrophil count and platelet count was detected in the omalizumab group. In addition to its anti-IgE effect, omalizumab can show its anti-inflammatory effect by reducing the neutrophil count and platelet count to be within the normal range.

Skin cancers are the most common type of cancer. Nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) are more common than melanoma. Although the mortality rate is low, cancer word can be frightening for patients. Surgery is the main treatment. As skin cancers are most commonly located on the face, undesirable cosmetic results can occur as a result of treatments or due to primary disease. Therefore, the quality of life of patients could be affected. To determine the effect of surgical treatment on quality of life of the patients with facial NMSC using the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) at baseline and 3 months after surgery. We aimed to see if there was any improvement in quality of life scores after surgery, and to identify factors affecting quality of life. A total of 255 patients; 174 basal cell carcinoma (BCC) (68.2%) and 81 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (31.8%) were included in our study. All participants completed DLQI at baseline and 3 months after surgery. The mean total DLQI scores were 6.37 ± 6.28 in patients with BCC, and 6.35 ± 6.16 in patients with SCC. The mean total DLQI scores were 3.96 ± 5.14 in patients with BCC (P < .001), and 4.49 ± 5.24 in patients with SCC (P < .001) 3 months after surgery. In patients with primary skin cancer, all subscale scores and total DLQI scores were worse than the recurrent skin cancer group in both BCC and SCC at baseline. According to the treatment modalities, total DLQI scores and all subscales were worse in the graft group in BCC and SCC patients at baseline. Interestingly, the sex and the type of skin cancer did not affect quality of life, but tumor localization ([auricula OR: 6.45 [95% CI: 1.28-37.47] and eyelid OR:0.20 [95% CI: 0.04-0.96]) treatment procedure ([flap procedure OR: 7.90 [95% CI: 2.64-23.62] and graft procedure OR: 5.47 [95% CI: 1.60-18.71]) and, primary tumor OR:3.86 (95% CI: 1.01-14.78) were significant. The quality of life of skin cancer patients was affected by tumor localization, treatment procedure, primary, or recurrent tumor. The quality of life showed a significant improvement in patients with facial NMSC after surgical treatment. However, the type of NMSC seems to have no effect on the quality of life.

Scoring systems have been developed to interpret the disease severity objectively by evaluating the parameters of the disease. Body surface area, visual analogue scale, and physician global assessment are the most frequently used scoring systems for evaluating the clinical severity of the dermatological diseases. Apart from these scoring systems, many specific scoring systems for many dermatological diseases, including acne (acne vulgaris, acne scars), alopecia (androgenetic alopecia, tractional alopecia), bullous diseases (autoimmune bullous diseases, toxic epidermal necrolysis), dermatitis (atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, dyshidrotic eczema), hidradenitis suppurativa, hirsutismus, connective tissue diseases (dermatomyositis, skin involvement of systemic lupus erythematosus (LE), discoid LE, scleroderma), lichen planoplaris, mastocytosis, melanocytic lesions, melasma, onychomycosis, oral lichen planus, pityriasis rosea, psoriasis (psoriasis vulgaris, psoriatic arthritis, nail psoriasis), sarcoidosis, urticaria, and vitiligo, have also been developed. Disease severity scoring methods are ever more extensively used in the field of dermatology for clinical practice to form an opinion about the prognosis by determining the disease severity; to decide on the most suitable treatment modality for the patient; to evaluate the efficacy of the applied medication; and to compare the efficiency of different treatment methods in clinical studies.

Chronic actinic damage of the skin manifests itself as extrinsic skin aging (photoaging) and photocarcinogenesis. During the last decade, substantial progress has been made in understanding cellular and molecular mechanisms of photoaging. DNA photodamage and ultraviolet-generated reactive oxygen species are the initial events that lead to most of the typical histologic and clinical manifestations of chronic photodamage of the skin. Chronic actinic damage affects all layers of the skin. Keratinocytes, melanocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells are altered by ultraviolet radiation and can result in numerous changes in human skin, particularly the skin of fair-skinned individuals. These changes include actinic keratosis, thickening and wrinkling, elastosis, telengiectasia, solar comedones, diffuse or mottled hyperpigmentation, and skin cancers. There are many options in the treatment of changes caused by chronic actinic damage. The most effective measure of prevention of the photoaging and photocarcinogenesis is sun protection.

Quality of life is a broad concept that also includes personal well-being beyond the personal health status. In the world, not as much as adult age groups, there have been developed for a certain number of general purpose quality of life scales for children and adolescents. Evaluation of the quality of life in children include some differences than in adults. Knowledge of the children's developmental stages’ differences is important for researchers whose improve and use the quality of life scales. The most studied quality of life in children are atopic dermatitis and psoriasis dermatological diseases. Otherwise there are researches related to quality of life for several dermatological diseases such as alopecia areata, dermatomyositis, ectodermal dysplasia, photosensitivity disorders, molluscum contagiosum, neurofibromatosis and vitiligo. In this review, the researches about quality of life in children with dermatologic disease has been reviewed.

In this study, we compared the effects of collagenase and Centella asiatica in the rat model. Twenty-seven female rats were divided into three groups, and two full-thickness wounds were made for each animal. Collagenase ointment was applied topically to Group I and C. asiatica ointment to Group II rats. In Group III, no treatment was applied. On the third day of treatment, wounds on the left side of three animals of each group were excised. On the fifth and eighth day of the treatments, the same procedure was performed for the remaining animals. Indirect immunohistochemical examination was performed to detect transforming growth factor beta (TGF)-beta, endothelial and inducible nitric oxide synthase (eNOS and iNOS), vascular endothelial growth factor, TGF-alpha, laminin, fibronectin, collagen I, and interleukin-1beta. According to the measurements of the wound areas and wound healing periodo, collagenase was superior to the control group. Immunohistochemical examinations showed strong (+++) iNOS and TGF-beta immunoreactivities in C. asiatica group. eNOS immunoreactivity was moderate (++) in this group. For the collagenase group, iNOS, eNOS, and TGF-beta immunoreactivities were moderate (++). In the collagenase group, while TGF-beta and iNOS immunoreactivities were weaker, laminin and fibronectin reactivities were stronger than in C. asiatica and control groups. Collagenase was superior to C. asiatica according to the immunohistochemical findings. Collagenase ointment significantly improves the quality of wound healing and scar formation and is a more appropriate treatment choice than extract of C. asiatica in the early stages of the wound healing process.

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare, severe cutaneous reaction pattern that, in the majority (>90%) of cases, is related to administration of medication. It can be seen in both genders and in all ages. The cutaneous manifestations of AGEP are usually seen 1-14 days after drug administration. A 39-year-old woman presented to our outpatient clinic with the complaint of generalized erythema, burning, and rash. She explained that 2 days before presentation a spider bite had occurred on her left forearm, after which she had experienced pain and erythema spreading gradually to the left upper extremity. On her dermatologic examination, she had an indurated necrotic plaque on the left forearm, which had an upward-spreading linear erythema. Additionally, she had diffuse erythema on her body and small pustules over erythematous skin, especially located on the left popliteal fossa and gluteal region. Based on the clinical and histopathologic findings, she was diagnosed as having AGEP. Because there was no drug use in her history, we attributed her AGEP lesions to the spider bite. This case is interesting, because the patient also had lymphangitis. Herein, we present the fifth case reported in the literature of AGEP caused by a spider bite.

Sorafenib is a new therapeutic agent being used in metastatic renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and malignant melanoma. The most frequently seen cutaneous side effects due to sorafenib are erythema, exfoliative dermatitis, acne vulgaris, and flushing. Folliculitis, eczema, and erythema multiforme are other, rare side effects of sorafenib. A 59-year-old man underwent left radical nephrectomy due to renal cell carcinoma 8 months ago, and after the operation he received immunochemotherapy and then sorafenib. On the third day of sorafenib therapy his lesions occurred. His dermatologic examination revealed multiple erythematous papules on his neck, arms, and legs and bullae and iris lesions on his palms and soles. He was diagnosed as having erythema multiforme. In the literature we found only 1 other erythema multiforme case due to sorafenib. We present this interesting case to show and discuss cutaneous side effects of sorafenib, especially erythema multiforme as a very rare cutaneous side effect.

This report describes the case of a 60-year-old man with nonsyndromic multiple basal cell carcinomas that responded to imiquimod 5% cream. The patient had no additional anomalies suggesting any syndromes associated with multiple basal cell carcinomas. By applying the agent 5 times a week for 20 weeks, we obtained good clinical results, and we confirmed the improvement with histopathologic examination. We suggest that patients with multiple basal cell carcinomas should be interviewed about and tested for the associated syndromes, and topical imiquimod should be kept in mind as an alternative therapy choice in these patients.

Eruptive syringoma is a rare variant of syringoma, which typically occurs in large numbers as multiple yellow-brown colored papules. It usually presents before or during puberty. The pathogenesis of eruptive syringoma is unclear. It could represent a hyperplastic response of the eccrine ducts to an inflammatory reaction caused by an unknown trigger. The association between drugs and eruptive syringoma has not been reported in the literature until now. A 34-year-old woman with multiple asymptomatic papular eruptions of nine years' duration visited the authors' outpatient clinic. She had been using antiepileptic drugs for epilepsy for 10 years. Dermatological examination revealed multiple skin-colored to brownish papules, 1-3 mm in diameter, on the trunk and neck. Skin biopsy was performed from a lesion on the neck. According to clinical and histopathological findings, the patient was diagnosed as having eruptive syringoma. This case is very interesting, because the patient had been using antiepileptic drugs for a long time and the onset of her lesions was in postpubertal period. The authors' hypothesize that her lesions occured due to antiepileptics which may be a trigger of syringomatous proliferation. The authors conclude that drugs, especially antiepileptics, should be kept in mind in reference to the etiology of eruptive syringomas.

WOS: 000272829100005, PubMed ID: 19951427, Background: Dimeticone 4% lotion was shown to be an effective treatment for head louse infestation in two randomised controlled trials in England. It is not affected by insecticide resistance but efficacy obtained (70-75%) was lower than expected. This study was designed to evaluate efficacy of dimeticone 4% lotion in a geographically, socially, and culturally different setting, in rural Turkey and, in order to achieve blinding, it was compared with a potential alternative formulation. Methods: Children from two village schools were screened for head lice by detection combing. All infested students and family members could participate, giving access to treatment for the whole community. Two investigator applied treatments were given 7 days apart. Outcome was assessed by detection combing three times between treatments and twice the week following second treatment. Results: In the intention to treat group 35/36 treated using dimeticone 4% had no lice after the second treatment but there were two protocol violators giving 91.7% treatment success. The alternative product gave 30/36 (83.3%) treatment success, a difference of 8.4% (95% CI-9.8% to 26.2%). The cure rates per-protocol were 33/34 (97.1%) and 30/35 (85.7%) respectively. We were unable to find any newly emerged louse nymphs on 77.8% of dimeticone 4% treated participants or on 66.7% of those treated with the alternative formulation. No adverse events were identified. Conclusion: Our results confirm the efficacy of dimeticone 4% lotion against lice and eggs and we found no detectable difference between this product and dimeticone 4% lotion with nerolidol 2% added. We believe that the high cure rate was related to the lower intensity of infestation in Turkey, together with the level of community engagement, compared with previous studies in the UK.

Those with lice were offered treatment and the results monitored by detection combing Children with nits only were re-screened to identify latent infestations. Using visual inspection we found 214 461 children (46%) with nits but only 30 (6.5%) with live lice. In contrast detection combing found 96 (21%) with live lice. of whom 20 had no nits. Detection combing was 3.84 times more effective than visual inspection for finding live lice. Only 10/138 (7.2%) children with nits and no lice were Found to have active infestation by day 16.

Background: Pruritus is a common symptom of many dermatological and systemic diseases. It is a common complaint among patients with psoriasis of the chronic plaque type. Patients with pruritus suffer from more severe psoriasis although some authors did not find a significant relationship between pruritus intensity and psoriasis severity. Aims: In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between clinical features and symptoms among psoriasis patients. And also we aimed to evaluate whether the severity of disease, depression and quality of life scores could effect these symptoms or not. Methods: Eighty seven patients with psoriasis were enrolled in this study. Epidemiological data of patients were noted. Clinical symptoms, such as pruritus, pain, burning, exudation, bleeding, weakness, etc. were interrogated. The answers to these questions were classified as 'never', 'rare', 'sometimes', 'often' and 'all the time'. Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), Hamilton Anxiety-Depression Scale (HAD) were calculated for each patient. PASI and DLQI scores were classified as ≥ and
