ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate clinical efficacy of the NB-UVB phototherapy combined with calcipotriol ointment and halometasone cream in the treatment of psoriasis.Methods 90 patients with psoriasis were selected and randomly divided into control group and observation group with 45 cases of patients.In both two groups,calcipotriol ointment,1 time/d,were used combined with halometasone cream,1 time/d,with a total of 4 weeks.On the basis of these,patients of observation group were added NB-UVB phototherapy (Germany Waldmann7001K ultraviolet light therapy device),1 time every other day with starting dose of 0.5J/cm2,each increment of 0.1J/cm2,for treatment of 15 times.Before and after treatment in patients of two groups,PASI score and clinical efficacy were observed.Visual analogue scale (VAS) were was used to observe itching skin lesions before and after treatment.By using Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI),qualities of life in two groups of patients before and after treatment were evaluated.observe two patients before and after treatment expression levels of serum IL-17A,IL-22 and IL-1βwere also observed in patients of the two groups.Results The total efficiency of the observation group was 88.89％,which of the control group was 80.00％,the clinical efficacy of the observation group which was higher than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =5.23,P ＜ 0.05).Before treatment,the difference of PASI,VAS score and DLQI in the two groups of patients were not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).After treatment,scores in the two groups of patients were significantly decreased,and the degree of decrease in the observation group was higher than the control group,the difference was significant (P ＜ 0.05).Before treatment,the differences in serum IL -17A,IL-22 and IL-1β expression levels of both two groups were not statistically significant (P ＞0.05).After treatment,these expression levels of the two groups of patients decreased significantly,and the decreased of observation group was more significantly than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion NB-UVB phototherapy combined with calcipotriol ointment and halometasone cream in treatment of psoriasis vulgaris patients can significantly improve patients' skin lesions,and can improve patients' quality of life score,which is worthy of promotion.
