To improve disadvantages such as the inability to be standardized and stored long term, we proposed a novel platelet-lyophilized treatment (PLT) to enhance the wound healing rate and improve acne scarring.Study Design: A single-blinded study at a single health care center was performed. All subjects were treated with a fractional carbon dioxide laser. On the right side of the face, 2 mL PLT solution (dissolved in normal saline) was applied, while on the left side of the face (control group), 2 mL normal saline was applied. The treatment described above was repeated every 3 to 4 weeks, and 4 treatments were performed in total. Assessments were performed prior to each treatment and at the one-month follow-up after the fourth treatment. Subjective assessments included questionnaires administered by the principal investigator and a self-assessment questionnaire completed by the subjects. Moreover, VISIA complexion analysis was used for objective data collection, and spots, wrinkles, texture, pores, UV spots, brown spots, red areas, and porphyrins were objectively analyzed.Results: Our data indicated that the PLT side showed a more rapid recovery than the saline side; on average, the sloughing off of the crusts was noted on day 5 and day 6. The improvement rate for skin spots, texture, and pores was significantly increased on the PLT side, with the pigment and pore size both having a statistically significant improvement of p< 0.001, while the texture had a significant improvement of p< 0.01.Conclusion: The results suggested that the application of PLT could be a novel method to enhance wound healing and improve acne scarring after laser skin rejuvenation.Keywords: platelet-lyophilized treatment, PLT, wound healing, acne scars, ablative fractional carbon dioxide laser

Abstract

The spectrum of dermatoses in the pediatric population of the Republic of Palau is unknown and largely unmentioned in publication. All Palauan pediatric patients who consulted the Shin Kong Medical Assistant Program to Palau dermatology services at Belau National Hospital (BNH) and local dispensaries from 2015 to 2018 were analyzed. The results were classified according to age and sex and also analyzed by region. This population included a total of 155 patients, with 92 girls and 63 boys. Eczema (52.9%), superficial fungal infection (21.93%), and bacterial infection (16.77%) were the most frequent conditions. More than 20% of the patients presented with more than one concurrent skin disease. Among the disease spectrum, the frequency of atopic dermatitis was comparable: 29.1% in girls and 28.6% in boys. Superficial fungal infections were more common in boys, with a frequency of 31.7% as opposed to 15.2% in girls. The results were also analyzed according to region: 123 patients were seen at BNH and 32 patients were seen at the local dispensaries. Bacterial infection was more common at the local dispensaries (37.5%) than at BNH (11.4%). Hereby, we describe the pattern of skin diseases in Palauan children. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
