RESUMO

Probiotics are live microorganisms, which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. Semiactive, non-replicating bacteria or extracts used in dermocosmetics have interesting properties for skin quality. Vitreoscilla filiformis is cultured by a fermentation process to obtain an extract. It is considered as a probiotic fraction and topical application of this extract has shown activity to strengthen the skin physical barrier function and maintain good homeostasis of skin defenses. Vichy volcanic mineralizing water (VVMW) is a pure, highly mineralized water that has been shown to strengthen the skin against exposome aggressions. This manuscript reviews properties of probiotic fractions used in skin care, especially studies on an extract of V. filiformis grown in a medium containing VVMW (VfeV) and evaluated in combination with VVMW. Skin barrier function: In normal human epidermal keratinocyte cultures, the combination of 10% VVMW and 0.002% VfeV significantly increased transglutaminase, filaggrin, involucrin, claudin-1, and zonula occludens-1 in comparison with the controls. Antimicrobial peptide defenses: The combination of 16.7% VVMW and 0.1% VfeV increased the expression of ß-defensin-4A and S100A7. Skin immune defense functions: In lipopolysaccharide-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells, the combination of 16.7% VVMW and 0.1% VfeV down-regulated IL-8, TNF-α, IL-12/IL-23p40, and increased IL10 and IL-10/IL-12 ratio compared to the control. Additionally, the combination of 79% VVMW plus 5% VfeV protected Langerhans cells in skin explants exposed to ultraviolet radiation. In conclusion, the combination of VfeV plus VVMW has properties to strengthen the skin barrier by stimulating skin differentiation and tight junctions, biochemical defenses by stimulating antimicrobial peptides, and cellular immune defenses by increasing the IL-10/IL-12 ratio and by protecting Langerhans cells challenged by ultraviolet radiation.

RESUMO

Exposome aggressions are known to weaken certain skin functions, such as skin barrier and skin defense functions. Vichy volcanic mineralizing water (VVMW) percolates through volcanic and magmatic rocks in the Auvergne region in France to create a pure, highly mineralized water containing 15 minerals for a total mineral concentration of 5.2 g/L. Here, we provide an overview of the main results of in vitro and ex vivo studies (keratinocyte cultures, 3D reconstructed skin model, skin explants) and clinical studies to evaluate the effect of VVMW on key skin functions to help elucidate how it counteracts exposome aggressions on the skin. Properties to strengthen the skin barrier: VVMW stimulated the synthesis of tight junction proteins and keratinocyte differentiation markers in vitro. In clinical studies, VVMW accelerated cell turnover and improved skin hydration. Properties to strengthen skin antioxidant defense: VVMW stimulated the expression of antioxidant defense markers and had a higher stimulatory effect than a competitor thermal water on the expression of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase in keratinocytes in vitro. In vivo, VVMW restored endogenous catalase activity after exposure to UVA radiation. Anti-inflammatory action: VVMW reduced substance P-induced inflammation ex vivo and lactic acid-induced stinging in vivo. Topical application of VVMW in subjects with sensitive skin showed soothing and decongestant effects by reducing skin dryness and erythema. After sodium lauryl sulfate -induced skin barrier disruption, recovery from redness and erythema was faster following application of VVMW compared to a competitor water or untreated skin. These studies illustrate that VVMW has unique properties to repair and regenerate the skin barrier, as well as to strengthen antioxidant and immune defenses, which help protect the skin against exposome aggressions.

RESUMO

The exposome has an impact on skin from life-long exposure. Acute short-term exposure to exposome stressors can also alter skin functions such as skin physical barrier and immune defenses, leading to skin dryness, sensitivity, flares of inflammatory skin conditions, or viral reactivations. Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms, which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. An extract produced by lysing Vitreoscilla filiformis (VfeV) cultured in Vichy volcanic mineralizing water (VVMW) has properties of probiotic fractions. In this review, we present in vivo and ex vivo studies with a dermocosmetic formulation containing 80% VVMW, 5% VfeV, 4% niacinamide (vitamin B3), 0.4% hyaluronic acid, and 0.2% vitamin E (M89PF) to evaluate the clinical efficacy in preventing and repairing stressed skin. Skin barrier benefits of M89PF were shown in studies after the skin was exposed to sudden thermal changes, after skin irritation by tape stripping, and in sleep-deprived women. M89PF significantly accelerated skin renewal compared to untreated skin. Skin antioxidant defense activity of M89PF was shown after exposure to stress from UVA plus cigarette smoke aggression. Skin microbiome recovery after acute stress from a harsh cleanser was significantly better in M89PF-treated skin compared to bare skin. Clinical benefits of M89PF on correcting clinical signs of stressed skin were shown in both Caucasian and Asian women exposed to a stressful lifestyle and various external (pollution, tobacco smoking, solar radiation) and internal (poor sleep, stressful work, unbalanced diet, and alcohol consumption) exposome factors. M89PF also showed depigmenting properties on dark spots in Asian women. Further clinical studies are now warranted to evaluate the efficacy of M89PF as adjuvant care to prevent and repair skin barrier disruption and reinforce skin defenses in skin exposed to acute stresses.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Vitamin C and peptides are widely used in cosmetic products but there is a paucity of clinical studies showing that the formulations are effective in treating signs of facial ageing. These 3 clinical studies evaluated the effectiveness of an anti-ageing formula containing natural vitamin C (10%), biopeptides (rice and lupin), hyaluronic acid, and Vichy volcanic mineralising water, in amber glass ampoules with no preservatives (Peptide-C ampoules). METHODS: Dansyl chloride fluorescence labelling compared cell turnover for Peptide-C ampoules vs untreated skin in 32 female subjects. Study 2, an open clinical study, evaluated the efficacy on wrinkles of Peptide-C ampoules by investigator clinical scoring based on Dynamical Atlas visual assessment (N = 40) and subject self-assessment questionnaires (N = 47). Study 3, an open clinical study, evaluated wrinkles by instrumental quantification with 3D fringe projection analysis (N = 40) and subject questionnaires (N = 51). RESULTS: The mean cell turnover was faster for skin treated with Peptide-C ampoules compared to untreated skin (17.1 days vs. 19.2 days; P < 0.0001). In study 2, after 28 days application of Peptide-C ampoules, clinical grading of crow's-feet wrinkles, forehead wrinkles and nasolabial folds decreased by 9%, 11% and 5%, respectively (all P < 0.05 vs baseline). Of 47 subjects, 77%, 64% and 79% indicated their skin seemed smoothed out, fine lines were less visible, and skin complexion was more radiant, respectively. In study 3, the number of wrinkles decreased by 11.5% after 29 days application of Peptide-C ampoules vs baseline (P < 0.05) and 65% of subjects responded the fine lines were less visible. CONCLUSION: This formulation of a combination of anti-ageing ingredients in ampoules, allowing a minimalist formula, showed significant results on improving facial wrinkles and radiance.


OBJECTIF: La vitamine C et les peptides sont régulièrement utilisés dans les produits dermocosmétiques mais il existe peu d'études cliniques sur l'efficacité des formulations sur les signes du vieillissement cutané du visage. Trois études cliniques ont évalué l'efficacité d'une formule anti-âge contenant de la vitamine C naturelle (10%), des biopeptides (riz et lupin), de l'acide hyaluronique et de l'eau minéralisante volcanique de Vichy, dans un format d'ampoules en verre ambré, sans conservateur (ampoules Peptide-C). MÉTHODES: Une première étude a comparé par la technique de chlorure de Dansyl le renouvellement cellulaire avec la formulation ampoules Peptide-C et la peau non traitée chez 32 sujets féminins. La seconde étude, en ouvert, a évalué l'efficacité clinique sur les rides des ampoules Peptide-C en se reposant sur les Atlas Dynamiques (N=40) et les questionnaires d'auto-évaluation des sujets (N=47). La troisième étude, ouverte, a évalué les rides par quantification instrumentale avec l'analyse de projection de franges 3D (N=40) et les questionnaires d'autoévaluation des sujets (N=51). RÉSULTATS: Le renouvellement cellulaire était plus rapide pour la peau traitée avec des ampoules de Peptide-C comparées à la peau non traitée (17.1 jours contre 19.2 jours ; p<.0001). Dans l'étude 2, après 28 jours d'application des ampoules Peptide-C, l'évaluation clinique des rides de la patte d'oie, du front et des plis naso-labiaux a montré une amélioration de 9 %, 11 % et 5 %, respectivement (tous p<0,05 vs baseline). Sur 47 sujets, 77%, 64% et 79% ont indiqué que leur peau semblait respectivement lissée, que les ridules étaient moins visibles et que le teint de la peau était plus radieux. Dans l'étude 3, le nombre de rides a diminué de 11,5 % après 29 jours d'application des ampoules Peptide-C par rapport à la baseline (p<0,05) et 65 % des sujets ont répondu que les ridules étaient moins visibles. CONCLUSION: Cette combinaison d'ingrédients anti-âge dans un format d'ampoules, et une formulation minimaliste, a montré des résultats significatifs sur l'amélioration des rides faciales et de l'éclat du teint.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Granuloma faciale (GF), or facial granuloma of Lever, is an uncommon dermatosis occurring classically on the face. We report a case of a GF on zoster scars located on the trunk, which is a highly particular isotopic response. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A 60-year-old man with a sole history of left lumbar zoster presented with a skin lesion present for two months. Clinical examination revealed a 2.5-cm papular erythematous lesion that was both infiltrated and pruritic. This lesion was situated precisely on zoster scars. Lab tests revealed no abnormalities. Histopathologic examination showed an inflammatory process without neovessels but rich in eosinophils with chronic vasculitis and polymorphic infiltrate, on which basis GF was diagnosed. DISCUSSION: GF is a localized form of cutaneous small-vessel vasculitis. Although it usually affects the face, extra-facial locations also exist. The original character of this presentation, aside from the location, is the occurrence of this GF on a zoster scar, which corresponds to Wolf's isotopic response. This phenomenon, described by R. Wolf, comprises the occurrence of a new skin disorder at the site of another unrelated and already healed skin disease, usually herpes. The physiopathology is still unclear. This differs from isomorphic reactions such as Koebner's reaction, which consists of the appearance at an injury site of skin lesions typical of an existing dermatosis but not a new disorder. CONCLUSION: This is a rare case of Wolf's isotopic response with GF, of which, to our knowledge, there are no reports in the literature.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the vaccine coverage of psoriasis patients prior to initiating or changing immunosuppressant therapy, and to verify that the prescribed vaccines have been administered. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a bi-centre, observational, cross-sectional study over 9 months. Psoriasis patients in whom immunosuppressant therapy (comprising cyclosporine, methotrexate, etanercept, infliximab, adalimumab or ustekinumab) was indicated were included. Medical history, previous treatments, vaccination status, viral serology results (for hepatitis B, measles, and chickenpox), and reasons for non-vaccination were assessed via questionnaire. RESULTS: Sixty-eight patients were included. One third brought their immunization records. Overall, 54.4% had already received immunosuppressant therapy; of these, 9 were up to date for influenza and 3 were up to date for pneumococcus. Only one patient was up to date for all of the recommended vaccinations. A total of 61% of patients were seronegative for hepatitis B. The following vaccines were updated: DTP (in 2 patients), DTP-pertussis (12), influenza (22), pneumococcus (45), and hepatitis B (6). None of the three patients with plans to travel to yellow fever-endemic countries had been vaccinated. In all, 53 (78%) stated that they had already had chickenpox and 43 (63.2%) stated that they had had one of the following three diseases: measles, rubella, or mumps. Fifty-two patients were serologically tested for chickenpox, and 98% were immunized. The most common reasons for not updating the immunization schedule were the absence of any notification or proposal by the patient's doctor and oversight. CONCLUSION: This study should help raise awareness among patients and health professionals concerning the new vaccination recommendations for a population particularly at risk of infection.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Livedoid vasculopathy (LV) is a painful ulcerative condition involving white atrophy and livedo; a histopathologic feature seen is occlusive dermal vasculopathy. This may be associated with coagulation disorders such as hyperhomocysteinaemia (HHC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: We report the case of a 52-year-old woman presenting LV in which an abnormal scan image led us to diagnose coeliac disease. This enteropathy had caused vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency, as well as HHC. Vitamin supplementation and a gluten-free diet resulted in complete healing of the lesions. DISCUSSION: This case underlines the importance of screening for and correction of coagulation disorders in patients with LV. It also suggests that in the event of HHC, coeliac disease should be sought, even in the absence of gastrointestinal symptoms.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The number of household pets increased greatly during the twentieth century, with numbers of new pets (NP, i.e. any pets other than cats and dogs) rising especially sharply over the last decade. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We first of all report the case of a female patient with eczema lesions on areas skin coming into contact with a ferret, with removal of the animal resulting in wound healing, followed by two patients presenting atypical polymorphous erythema reactions induced by dermatophytes present in their pet rat. DISCUSSION: While the most common allergies are respiratory, allergic skin reactions, both immediate and delayed, may also result from contact with these new allergens. The animal itself or its environment may be the cause.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Acquired haemophilia A (AH) is an uncommon bleeding disorder that presents as multiple, disseminated spontaneous subcutaneous bleeds. Diagnosis may be made on the basis of prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). The severity of the disease is associated with the low risk of haemoglobin levels and with potential links with other diseases. OBSERVATIONS: Two men were hospitalized for extensive and spontaneous subcutaneous hematoma. In both cases, the International Normalized Ratio (INR) was normal, but aPTT was 3 times higher than normal. Autoantibodies against coagulation factor VIII confirmed the diagnosis of AH. The patients received immunomodulatory treatment. In one patient, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma was discovered one year after successful treatment of AH. DISCUSSION: AH may be revealed by areas of bruising, subutaneous haematomas mimicking erythema nodosum, and muscle pain. APTT results alone can prompt the biologist to screen for factor VIII inhibitors. Aside from the risk of fatal bleeding, in half of all cases, the prognosis is determined by associated disorders such as blood dyscrasias, solid tumours, autoimmune diseases, use of certain medicines and pregnancy. After treatment for bleeding complications, therapy focuses on restoring the coagulation time. The aim of immunomodulatory therapy is to stem production of autoantibodies against coagulation factor VIII. CONCLUSION: AH must be considered rapidly in order to reduce the risk of bleeding emergencies and to screen for potential related diseases.
