RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Neurodermatitis is a common inflammatory and allergic disease, characterized by itching and lichenification plaque. Some studies have reported cupping therapy (CT) for the treatment of neurodermatitis. However, the effectiveness and safety are still uncertain. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CT for the treatment of patients with neurodermatitis. METHODS: We will retrieve the following electronic databases systematically: Pubmed, Web of Science, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Chinese Scientific Journal Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and Wanfang database from their inception to December 2020. Other literature resources will be manually searched. Published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-randomized controlled trials (q-RCTs) on the topic will be retrieved by 2 investigators independently. We will apply a fixed-effect model or random effect model basis on the heterogeneity test and employ with RevMan 5.3 software for data synthesis. The total clinical effective rate will be selected as the primary outcome, skin disease quality of life index score, recurrence rate, and adverse events as secondary outcomes. RESULTS: This study will comprehensively summarize the high-quality trials to determine the efficacy and safety of CT for the treatment of patients with neurodermatitis. CONCLUSION: Our systematic review will present evidence for the efficacy and safety of CT to neurodermatitis patients. OSF REGISTRATION NUMBER: DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/6DCM3.

RESUMO

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory disorder that primarily affects the joints, but may exhibit extra-articular, including cutaneous, manifestations such as rheumatoid nodules, rheumatoid vasculitis, granulomatous skin disorders, and neutrophilic dermatoses. A large burden of cutaneous disease may be an indication of RA disease activity and the need for more aggressive treatment. Many of the therapeutic agents used to treat RA can also result in cutaneous adverse effects, which pose their own diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Anti-TNFα agents, in particular, have a wide variety of adverse effects including psoraisiform eruptions, granulomatous conditions, and cutaneous connective tissue disorders. Herein we provide an update on the clinical presentations and management of RA-associated cutaneous findings as well as drug-induced cutaneous effects, with particular attention to the adverse effects of biologic disease-modifying agents.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Pruritus is a debilitating aspect of atopic dermatitis (AD). Acupuncture has been reported to diminish pruritus, but self-administered acupressure has not been previously evaluated. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of acupressure on the severity of eczema in a pilot trial. METHODS: Adult patients with AD were randomised to an intervention group (acupressure with standard of care) or a control group (standard of care alone). Subjects in the intervention group performed acupressure using a 1.2 mm acupellet at the LI11 point, applying pressure for 3 min three times per week for 4 weeks. The severity of itching and AD at baseline and at 4 weeks were measured on a visual analogue scale (VAS), the Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) and the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI). RESULTS: Fifteen subjects were enrolled, 12 of whom completed the study between November 2009 and May 2011. There was no significant change between baseline and follow-up survey scores within the control group. In the investigation group there was a decrease in the VAS score (p=0.05) and EASI lichenification (p=0.03), although without significant change in the overall EASI score. Comparison of the scores between groups showed a greater decrease in VAS in the experimental group than in the control group (p=0.04), and a decrease in the IGA (p=0.03) and EASI lichenification score (p=0.03). The overall EASI scores were unchanged. CONCLUSION: Subjects using acupressure at LI11 for 4 weeks had improvement in pruritus and lichenification. Acupressure may prove to be an easily administered alternative treatment, but larger-scale studies are needed to confirm these preliminary findings.

RESUMO

Long-wavelength ultraviolet A (340-400 nm UVA1) phototherapy has been reported to be effective in atopic dermatitis, localized scleroderma and other T-cell-derived skin diseases. UVA1 as an adjunct to systemic immunosuppressive treatment was found to be safe, and effective in 10 patients with chronic cutaneous (seven lichenoid and three sclerodermoid) graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after stem cell transplantation. Complete and partial responses were achieved in six (60%), and in three (30%) patients, respectively. One patient had improvement of sclerotic skin lesions. At a median follow-up of 14 months, two patients with lichenoid lesions relapsed. Both responded to another treatment cycle. Furthermore, we treated seven patients with UVA1 as primary therapy for acute cutaneous GVHD grades II and III in a pilot experience. Five patients had a complete response with no relapse at a median follow-up of 9 months after UVA1. Two patients showed no response and systemic steroids had to be started. UVA1 therapy is feasible, well tolerated and can be effective in treating chronic as well as acute GVHD confined to the skin thereby avoiding systemic steroids. Our results should be confirmed in larger studies and the effectiveness of UVA1 compared to other established treatment modalities.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Standard or investigative immunosuppressive therapies for cutaneous chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) may prove not only ineffective but also cause serious adverse effects. Repeated exposure of the skin to ultraviolet radiation in the wavelength range 340-400 nm (so-called ultraviolet A1) was recently reported to have a strong local (intracutaneous) immunomodulatory activity. This study was undertaken to evaluate efficacy and safety of this phototherapy. DESIGN AND METHODS: Nine patients with cutaneous (4 lichenoid and 5 sclerodermoid) GVHD and mild or no other organ involvement were enrolled. All patients had developed serious drug toxicity and/or opportunistic infections. Phototherapy was administered three times a week. RESULTS: Complete remission was seen in 5 (2 lichenoid and 3 sclerodermoid) cases and a partial improvement in 4 (2 lichenoid and 2 sclerodermoid) after having received 15.8+/-3.8 (lichenoid GVHD) or 21.6+/-8.0 (sclerodermoid GVHD) sessions of phototherapy. Adverse effects were not registered. At follow-up (range: 6-25 months), two patients with sclerodermoid lesions relapsed after 5 months but responded to another treatment cycle. Patients with lichenoid GVHD showed relapses within one month and prolonged maintenance phototherapy was needed. Problems of drug toxicity and opportunistic infections improved as phototherapy allowed the reduction or interruption of systemic drug therapies. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS: Ultraviolet A1 phototherapy may be considered as an appropriate therapeutic approach for sclerodermoid GVHD with no or mild involvement of internal organs. Patients with lichenoid GVHD should be treated only if they develop serious adverse effects to immunosuppressive therapies and opportunistic infections because of the carcinogenic hazard of high cumulative doses of ultraviolet A1 radiation.

RESUMO

A variety of betel/areca nut/tobacco habits have been reviewed and categorized because of their possible causal association with oral cancer and various oral precancerous lesions and conditions, and on account of their widespread occurrence in different parts of the world. At a recent workshop in Kuala Lumpur it was recommended that "quid" be defined as "a substance, or mixture of substances, placed in the mouth or chewed and remaining in contact with the mucosa, usually containing one or both of the two basic ingredients, tobacco and/or areca nut, in raw or any manufactured or processed form." Clear delineations on contents of the quid (areca nut quid, tobacco quid, and tobacco and areca nut quid) are recommended as absolute criteria with finer subdivisions to be added if necessary. The betel quid refers to any quid wrapped in betel leaf and is therefore a specific variety of quid. The workshop proposed that quid-related lesions should be categorized conceptually into two categories: first, those that are diffusely outlined and second, those localized at the site where a quid is regularly placed. Additional or expanded criteria and guidelines were proposed to define, describe or identify lesions such as chewer's mucosa, areca nut chewer's lesion, oral submucous fibrosis and other quid-related lesions. A new clinical entity, betel-quid lichenoid lesion, was also proposed to describe an oral lichen planus-like lesion associated with the betel quid habit.
