The objective of the present investigation was to improve the skin deposition and retention of metronidazole (MTZ) in rosacea therapy, by incorporating it into nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs). The main challenge in this endeavour was the partial hydrophilicity of MTZ, which mandated careful selection of excipients, including solid and liquid lipids, surfactants, and their ratios in combination. NLCs were produced by the phase inversion temperature method and finally converted into a gel for topical application. Read More

Background: Rosacea is a chronic, inflammatory cutaneous disorder that is characterized by remissions and relapses that commonly occur in patients over the age of 30 years. There have been many studies in literature evaluating the relationship between cardiovascular disease and psoriasis, which is a chronic inflammatory disease, however, there have been very few studies to date evaluating the relationship between rosacea and cardiovascular disease risk.

Methods: The study included 52 consecutive rosacea patients and 52 healthy controls matched for age, gender and body mass index. Read More

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder whose pathophysiological mechanism remains largely unknown. Although recent studies have revealed the hypersensitivity of the skin towards chemical, thermal and biological stimuli, there is no direct molecular evidence suggesting the skin barrier is impaired in rosacea. In this study, we demonstrated that the mRNA levels of most claudins (CLDN), the main components of tight junctions determining the major barrier of the paracellular pathway between epithelial cells, were lowered in lesional skin of rosacea patients, especially with erythematotelangiectatic (ETR) and papulopustular (PPR) subtypes.

Purpose: To assess the role of nuclear factor kappa-B (NFKB) in cutaneous specimens of rosacea and unaffected tissue METHODS: Immunohistochemical staining was performed for the activated, phosphorylated variant of NFKB (pNFKB) in eyelid specimens of rosacea (n = 12) and normal, healthy tissue (n = 12). The numbers of positively-staining cells/40x microscopic field were counted across five consecutive fields. Additionally, quantitative western blotting was carried out for pNFKB and NFKB in specimens of rosacea (n = 15) and normal controls (n = 14). Read More

We assessed whether Cetaphil Redness Control Night Cream (CRCNC; Galderma Laboratories, Fort Worth, Texas) improves electrical capacitance (EC) and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) in healthy subjects with dry skin and determined efficacy and tolerability in subjects with rosacea. The present study included two independent, open-label investigations: in the first, EC and TEWL were measured at baseline and at two, four, eight, and 24 hours after one application of CRCNC to dry skin; in the second, an evaluation of once-daily CRCNC application for 22 days using a chromameter, image analysis, and trained rater was performed, with patient evaluations at baseline and Days 1, 8, and 22 collected. The first study enrolled 20 subjects (13 women; mean age: 45 years). Read More

Although patients with rosacea often consult dermatologists for dietary factors that might be related to their skin disorders, few studies have been conducted to research the relationship between rosacea and dietary factors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential relationship between rosacea and diet among the large Chinese population with rosacea, which would provide dietary guidelines for patients with rosacea. A multicenter case-control study was conducted. Read More

Photodynamic therapy is mainly used in dermatology to treat skin tumors, precancerous lesions, and condyloma acuminatum. Due to its excellent tissue selectivity, easy operation and good cosmetic effect, it has been gradually applied to the treatment of various non-neoplastic skin diseases, such as verruca acuminata, acne, rosacea, chronic skin ulcer, fungal diseases, keloid, and so on. Here is the review on the advancement in photodynamic therapy for non-neoplastic skin diseases. Read More

Rosacea is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease of the central facial skin and is of unknown origin. Currently, two classifications of rosacea exist that are based on either "preformed" clinical subtypes (erythematotelangiectatic, papulopustular, phymatous, and ocular) or patient-tailored analysis of the presented rosacea phenotype. Rosacea etiology and pathophysiology are poorly understood. Read More

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a mechanism that allows the protection of normal cellular functions in response to both internal perturbations, such as accumulation of unfolded proteins, and external perturbations, for example redox stress, UVB irradiation, and infection. A hallmark of ER stress is the accumulation of misfolded and unfolded proteins. Physiological levels of ER stress trigger the unfolded protein response (UPR) that is required to restore normal ER functions. Read More
