ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To explore the therapeutic effect of alternating red and blue light irradiation combined with collagen in patients with acne vulgaris and the risk factors of short-term recurrence.METHOD:
A retrospective analysis was conducted on 105 patients with acne vulgaris treated in Baoji Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2019 to February 2020. 50 patients received conventional treatment (Pumen red and blue light) were taken as the control group, and the other 55 patients treated with collagen dressing on the basis of control group were taken as the research group. Clinical efficacy, changes of serum interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) before and after treatment, and the occurrence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups of patients. The scores of inflammatory skin lesions, facial seborrhea scores, stratum corneum water content and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) were compared before and after the treatment. The 1-year review records of patients were queried, and they were divided into a relapse group and a non-relapse group according to the recurrence situation. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors affecting the recurrence of the patients.RESULTS:
The clinical efficacy of the patients in research group after treatment was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). IL-1ß and IL-6 in the serum of patients after treatment were markedly decreased, and such decline in the research group was more evident after treatment (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions, the scores of inflammatory skin lesions, and facial seborrhea and TEWL in the research group after treatment were all lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05), while the water content of the stratum corneum was higher comparatively (P<0.05). 17 patients were confirmed with recurrence within 1 year after treatment. Logistic regression analysis found that age, monthly income, pre-treatment IL-1ß and pre-treatment IL-6 were risk factors for recurrence.CONCLUSION:
Alternating red and blue light irradiation combined with collagen can improve the treatment efficacy in patients with acne vulgaris. And indexes like age, monthly income, pre-treatment IL-1ß and pre-treatment IL-6 are risk factors affecting the recurrence of patients.
