ABSTRACT
Background and Objective: acne rosacea is a chronic skin disease with unknown etiology. Some reports have suggested an increased prevalence of helicobacter [H] pylori infection in patients with acne rosacea but it is controversial. This study was designed to compare the prevalence of H pylori between the acne rosacea patients and the healthy control group
Materials and Methods: this case-control study was performed on 30 patients with acne rosacea and 60 healthy individuals as a control group. 5 mL blood was taken from each person and anti-H pylori IgG was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
Results: mean age was 45.8+/-14.05 years in acne rosacea patients and 41.4+/-12.3 years in control group. Seventeen [56.7%] of patients and fifty two [86.2%] of controls were infected by H pylori [P=0.002], but mean serum anti-H pylori IgG level was significantly higher in acne rosacea patients comparing to healthy control group [139.49+/-174.15 g/mL vs 38.87+/-23.50, P=0.005]
Conclusion: despite increased mean serum anti-H pylori IgG levels in acne rosacea patients, H pylori was more prevalent in healthy control group, in this study
ABSTRACT
Background: Solar lentigo is a dark brown macule. Its finding is relating to chronic solar exposure. It presents on exposing area [face and dorsal surface of hand]. Varient methods are used for treating solar lentigo for example cryotherapy. Cryotherapy is safe but there is on scientific study about suitable time for faster curative response. This research was done the objective of finding suitable time of cryotherapy for solar lentigo treatment without complication
Materials and Methods: This experimental study is a randomized clinical trial. 75 patients who had solar lentige [as the target group] were selected among patients that came to Department of Dermatology in sina hospital. They were studied of the basis of random allocation three groups. Each group contained 25 patients. These patients received cryotherapy in three varient time: [group A: 3-4 seconds, group B: 5-4 seconds, group B: 5-6 seconds and group V: 7-8 seconds]. Cryotherapy was done by liquid nitrogen and aplicator. Two weeks after giving cryotherapy, response treatment, complications and retreatment were evaluated. Collected date were analyzed by EP16 software and appropriate statistical methods
Results: Mean of treatment times in groups were: [group A: 4.44, group B: 3.28 and group C: 3.08]. In this study there was significant statistical difference among groups in solar lentigo treatment [P=0.0001]. In this study, serious complications from Cryotherapy weren't seen. In this study; Sex, age and location of lesion had no effect
Conclusions: Cryotherapy is recommended for solar lentigo treatment because not only it hasn't serious complications but also it is an easy method, and this study shows the most suitable time for faster and better reponse is 7-10 seconds
