We expressed two Rh‐noKs from bacteria heterologously in Escherichia coli, which exhibited...
British Journal of Dermatology,十二烷基硫酸钠诱导刺激的解剖部位差异:随机对照试验Summary 月桂酸钠 (SLS) 是一种化学物质,被用于诱导皮肤刺激,模拟刺激性接触性皮炎 (ICD)。ICD 是一种由于直接接触某些物质而导致皮疹、发红、起泡、瘙痒、干燥和皮肤开裂的疾病。这是一种常见的职业病,在英国所有的皮肤科会诊中占 4‐7%。这种由 SLS 诱导的刺激通常用于测试可用于缓解 ICD 症状的不同治疗方法的有效性。刺激通常是在前臂上诱导,但也已经发现被用于其他位置,例如上背部。不同解剖部位的刺激程度可能不同。这些差异可能会影响治疗检测的结果。这意味着治疗在一个位置取得的有益效果可能不会在另一个位置取得。这项来自克罗地亚的研究旨在研究皮肤对刺激反应的变化及其对 SLS 诱导的 ICD 治疗的影响。刺激物被涂在健康志愿者的前臂和上背部。选择润肤(保湿)霜作为治疗手段。其中一只前臂和背部一侧接受了为期九天的润肤霜治疗,而另一些则没有接受治疗。用皮肤探针测量皮肤刺激程度和恢复情况。研究人员发现,与前臂相比,上背部对刺激物的反应更强烈,皮肤恢复得更快。此外,所测试的润肤乳霜并没有改善皮肤的恢复。综上所述,解剖位置是影响用于测试治疗效果的研究结果的重要因素。未来的研究应该始终准确地报告测试位置。在不同的解剖位置使用这种刺激模型的研究产生的结果不一定能够直接可比。British...
