RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of resveratrol combined with ablative fractional CO2 laser system (AFL) treating skin photoaging. METHODS: Thirty-two subjects were assigned to the treatment group (TG) or the control group (CG), respectively, applied test product (resveratrol essence) or control product twice daily for 6 months. Each subject was given an AFL treatment or no laser treatment on left or right side of the face randomly. Subjective evaluations by investigators and subjects themselves were conducted after treatment. Melanin index, erythema index, and cuticle moisture content were conducted at baseline and after treatments. Adverse events (AEs) were evaluated during the study period. RESULTS: All subjects in TG achieved improvements of their photoaging signs compared to pre-treatment both the laser side and the non-laser side at 6 months (p < 0.05). On the laser side, TG produced a better improvement than CG at 6 months (p < 0.05). On the laser side, the difference values of MI in TG at the 2 months after enrollment (M2), M3, and M4 were more obvious than those in CG (p < 0.05). On the non-laser side, the difference values of MI in TG at M3, M4, M5, and M6 were more obvious than those of CG (p < 0.05). Subjects in TG were more likely to have tingling and had a faster subsidence of erythema mild edema, and pigmentation induced by AFL compared to CG. CONCLUSION: The resveratrol can improve photoaging alone and add an efficacy to the AFL treatment and subside the AEs induced by AFL.

Few studies have been conducted regarding the biological function and regulation role of gga-miR-221-5p in the liver. We compared the conservation of miR-221-5p among species and investigated the expression pattern of gga-miR-221-5p, validating the direct target genes of gga-miR-221-5p by dual luciferase reporter assay, the biological function of gga-miR-221-5p in the liver was studied by gga-miR-221-5p overexpression and inhibition. Furthermore, we explored the regulation of gga-miR-221-5p and its target genes by treatment with estrogen and estrogen antagonists in vivo and in vitro. The results showed that miR-221-5p was highly conserved among species, expressed in all tested tissues and significantly downregulated in peak-laying hen liver compared to pre-laying hen liver. Gga-miR-221-5p could directly target the expression of elongase of very long chain fatty acids 6 (ELOVL6) and squalene epoxidase (SQLE) genes to affect triglyceride and total cholesterol content in the liver. 17ß-estradiol could significantly inhibit the expression of gga-miR-221-5p but promote the expression of ELOVL6 and SQLE genes. In conclusion, the highly conservative gga-miR-221-5p could directly target ELOVL6 and SQLE mRNAs to affect the level of intracellular triglyceride and total cholesterol. Meanwhile, 17ß-estradiol could repress the expression of gga-miR-221-5p but increase the expression of ELOVL6 and SQLE, therefore promoting the synthesis of intracellular triglyceride and cholesterol levels in the liver of egg-laying chicken.
