Entozyme,(R) a pancreatic extract taken orally, was used in 36 cases of psoriasis previously recalcitrant to other treatment. In 24 cases this extract was the only treatment given, and good response occurred in 19 cases within 4 weeks to 3 months, with complete clearing in four cases. In 11 of 12 cases in which local treatment was supplemented by Entozyme, lesions cleared in 2 weeks to 3 months or longer. 相似文献

Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease with many associated co-morbidities including diabetes, hypertension, obesity, psoriatic arthritis, and cardiovascular disease. It has long been known that psoriasis is a T cell-mediate disease and recent findings further demonstrate the important roles of the Th17 and Th22 arms of the immune system in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Our understanding of this disease has progressed greatly and agents that target the cytokines involved in disease activity are under development or currently being used to treat psoriasis. A comprehensive review of the literature for cytokine-targeted therapies, their safety concerns, and efficacy in psoriasis are discussed here. 相似文献

Psoriasis is a chronic hyperproliferative skin disease in which inflammatory and immunologic processes may play important pathophysiologic roles. Recently the skin has been identified as a target tissue for vitamin D. Because 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 inhibits epidermal proliferation and promotes epidermal differentiation, it has been introduced for the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris. In addition to 1,25-(OH)2-D3, synthetic vitamin D3 analogues have undergone clinical evaluation. Calcipotriol (INN) (calcipotriene [USAN]) has been studied most extensively. Compared with 1,25-(OH)2-D3, calcipotriol is about 200 times less potent in its effects on calcium metabolism, although similar in receptor affinity. Topical calcipotriol 50 micrograms/g applied twice daily is efficacious and safe for the treatment of psoriasis. Because topical calcipotriol is slightly more efficacious than betamethasone 17-valerate and dithranol, calcipotriol should be considered a first line drug in the management of psoriasis. These results illustrate that it is possible to separate the vitamin D effects on the cellular level from those on calcium metabolism not only in vitro, but also in a clinical setting. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to determine whether and how the low energy diet acts on reduce of plasma lipids and clinical features of moderate non pustular psoriasis vulgaris. The investigation carried out in Clinical hospital Osijek, at Department of Dermatology as well as at Nutrition Department, included 82 in-patients, aged 46 to 65 (mean age 53.7 +/- 7.9), which had at least a 10-year history of the skin disorders. 42 participants (22 men and 20 women) in addition to usual topical therapy (neutral bland ointments twice daily), received a low energy diet during four weeks. Controls (40 participants: 22 men and 18 women) received only topical therapy with regular hospital food. Total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in blood, body weight and clinical features were measured at the beginning of investigation and after four weeks. After four weeks participants on low energy diet showed statistical significantly decreasing of serum lipids in relation to control group as well as significantly decreasing of clinical skin disorders. On contrary there were no significant changes on body weight between both groups of participants. Results of our study suggest that low energy diet could be important adjuvant factor in the prevention and treatment of moderate non pustular psoriasis. 相似文献

At a psoriasis day care centre 200 patients were treated with an ambulatory Goeckerman regimen, 25 of them twice, because of recurrence. This treatment consists of the application of a coal tar preparation at home at bedtime, followed the next day by exposure to high-intensity short wavelength ultraviolet radiation (UVB) at the centre. Treatment was given 5 days a week for 1 month. The psoriasis cleared in 86% of the patients after a mean of 21.6 UVB treatment sessions. The mean length of remission was 5.1 months, but at the time of follow-up 15 patients were still free of psoriasis. Compliance with the regimen was good to excellent in 94% of the patients. In our hands ambulatory treatment of psoriasis is much less expensive than hospital treatment and gives better results than photochemotherapy. 相似文献

Psoriasis is a common inflammatory skin disease with an incompletely understood etiology. The disease is characterized by red, scaly and well-demarcated skin lesions formed by the hyperproliferation of epidermal keratinocytes. This hyperproliferation is driven by cytokines secreted by activated resident immune cells, an infiltrate of T cells, dendritic cells and cells of the innate immune system, as well as the keratinocytes themselves. Psoriasis has a strong hereditary character and has a complex genetic background. Genome-wide association studies have identified polymorphisms within or near a number of genes encoding cytokines, cytokine receptors or elements of their signal transduction pathways, further implicating these cytokines in the psoriasis pathomechanism. A considerable number of inflammatory cytokines have been shown to be elevated in lesional psoriasis skin, and the serum concentrations of a subset of these also correlate with psoriasis disease severity. The combined effects of the cytokines found in psoriasis lesions likely explain most of the clinical features of psoriasis, such as the hyperproliferation of keratinocytes, increased neovascularization and skin inflammation. Thus, understanding which cytokines play a pivotal role in the disease process can suggest potential therapeutic targets. A number of cytokines have been therapeutically targeted with success, revolutionizing treatment of this disease. Here we review a number of key cytokines implicated in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. 相似文献

The response of psoriasis to ultraviolet radiation and dithranol was compared with the response to dithranol alone in 24 patients. The difference in rate of response, measured as change in plaque thickness, and the difference in time to complete clearance of psoriasis between irradiated and non-irradiated forearm lesions was significantly greater for patients treated using fluorescent lamps with negligible ultraviolet C emission (Wolff Helarium) than for those patients treated with a medium pressure mercury arc lamp (p less than 0.01) or an array of fluorescent sunlamps (p less than 0.05). The difference in therapeutic response shows that ultraviolet B phototherapy is effective when used in combination with dithranol. Nevertheless, radiation sources with substantial ultraviolet C emission, such as the medium pressure mercury arc lamp most commonly used to treat psoriasis in the United Kingdom, have little effect because delivery of therapeutic doses of ultraviolet B is limited by erythema induced by ultraviolet C. 相似文献

Seven hundreds and fifty three patients with colon cancer were operated in the Unit of Colon Surgery of the State Scientific Centre of Coloproctology within the period from 1998 to 2003. 352 (46.7%) of them were subjected to systemic chemotherapy. The patients subjected to the surgical and antitumor drug therapy were divided into 3 groups according to the main disease stage: 103 (29.3%) patients with the disease stage T4N0M0 (including those with the tumor local spread), 116 (32.9%) patients with the disease stage T(3-4)N+M0 and 133 (37.8%) patients with the disease stage T(3-4)NxM1. In the patients with the colon serous membrane diffusion and locally spread tumors (total of 103 patients) 3- and 5-year survival was stated in 81.0 +/- 2.8% and 76.5 +/- 3.7% respectively. The control group included 85 patients subjected to the surgical treatment alone. In the latter group 5-year survival was recorded in 68.0 +/- 2.9% of the patients. In the group of the patients with affection of the regional lymph nodes subjected to antitumor drug therapy 3- and 5-year survival was recorded in 64.1 +/- 3.5% and 57.5 +/- 4.2% respectively. In 52 patients not subjected to the systemic chemotherapy the analogous index was equal to 44.5 +/- 3.4%. The systemic chemotherapy was applied to 111 (78.2%) patients with metastases to the liver. In 50 of them cytoreductive operations were performed and in 61 patients palliative resection of the colon was carried out. The average period without clinical manifestations of the disease in the patients subjected to the colon palliative resection and systemic chemotherapy was equal to 8.5 +/- 3.5 months. In the patients with metastases to the liver subjected to the cytoreductive operations the average lifespan after the operations amounted to 24.5 months. The average lifespan of the patients with canceromatosis subjected to the systemic chemotherapy and cytoreductive operations amounted to 13.5 months. When the chemotherapy in such patients was effective the average lifespan was 16 months, while in case of the therapy failure it was 8.5 months. 相似文献
