This study evaluates the effectiveness of Thymus vulgaris EO for topical use in dogs with skin 18 half-breed dogs, affected by skin infections housed in a rescue shelter were studied. The bacteria isolated from these dogs were identified by MALDI-TOF-MS. The susceptibility of the isolated microorganisms to Thymus vulgaris L. EO was estimated in vitro by bacteriological test (CLSI 2015), in comparison to some antimicrobials drugs (amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, doxycy-cline, thiamphenicol and marbofloxacin) and to Citrus bergamia EO. The dogs, divided in two groups at random, were treated topically for 7 days with Thymus vulgaris L. EO (Group 1: n. 10 animals) and Citrus bergamia Risso e Poiteau EO (Group 2: n. 8 animals) respectively. The bacteria isolated were: Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (7 samples), Staphylococcus sciuri (4), ESBL Escherichia coli (3) and Proteus mirabilis (4). In all animals treated with Thymus vulgaris EO, the clinical signs decreased rapidly within 5 days from the administration, with complete remission 7 days after the treatment. No bacterial growth was observed from skin swabs after 7 days of treatment. None of the treated animals showed local or general side effects. The use of Thymus vulgaris EO could be a possible alternative or additional treatment to antibiotics in dermatological infections, particularly in cases refractory to conventional therapy.展开更多

D. folliculorum is observed in normal skin with a prevalence of 100% and a density of ≤ 5 D/cm2 in the adult population. Materials and Methods: This study evaluated the differences in pH on the five facial sites between the two populations with and without D. folliculorum. The relationship between pH and skin surface oil was analyzed in populations with and without Demodex mites. Mongolian 750 subjects (370 males and 380 females) aged 16 - 84 years, who lived in Ulaanbaatar city, were enrolled in this study. The eligibility criteria included a minimum age of 16 and no physical and dermatologic illness, no cosmetic. Results: Skin surface oil among the five facial areas differed significantly in both subjects with and without Demodex folliculorum (P < 0.001). When the skin surface oil on the T-zone, U-zone was compared, those on the T-zone were significantly higher than those of the U-zone (P < 0.001) in both populations (P< 0.01). The pH levels on the five facial sites, and U-zone, T-zone and MFpH differed significantly in among both subjects with and without Demodex folliculorum (P < 0.001). In both groups, the pH levels of the U-zone were significantly lower than the pH of the T-zone (P Conclusions: Among the five facial sites in subjects with Demodex folliculorum, there were significant negative correlations between skin surface oil and pH on the forehead (p < 0.001, r = 652), cheek (P < 0.001, r = 0.656), nose (P < 0.001, r = 0.754), chin (P < 0.001, r = 0.679), and T-zone (P < 0.001, r = 0.698), MFSE-MFpH (P < 0.001, r = 0.483). In contrast, among the five sites in subjects without Demodex folliculorum, a significant negative correlation between skin surface oil and pH was observed on the forehead (p < 0.001, r = 766), cheek (P < 0.001, r = 0.798), nose (P < 0.001, r = 0.706), chin (P < 0.001, r = 0.823), and T-zone (P < 0.001, r = 0.602), U-zone (P < 0.001, r = -0.550)展开更多

Despite its widespread use in clinical practice, there are few studies evaluating the activity of this compound on the clinical course of cutaneous scars. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Repavar®?rosehip oil on improvement of post-surgical skin scars. One comparative, single-center, prospective clinical trial was carried out in 108 patients undergoing cutaneous surgery procedures in the Dermatology Service of University Hospital of Gran Canaria Dr. Negrín (Spain). Subjective parameters (erythema, discoloration, atrophy and hypertrophy) were evaluated at 6 and 12 weeks on 76 adults who treated scars with pure RHO twice a day (test group), 32 patients with not treatment (control group), and completed the study. Lesser degree of erythema was observed at 6 and 12 weeks in treated-patients compared with the control group and decreased discoloration and atrophy at 12 weeks, with statistically significant differences in all cases (p < 0.05). This study demonstrates that the RHO Repavar®?is useful for cosmetic improvement on erythema, discoloration and atrophyof post-surgical skin scars, getting a better overall evolution and appearance thereof.展开更多

In the present study, we examined the effect of five days repeated exposure to allyl nitrile at subtoxic levels (0 - 400 μmol/kg/day) on the mouse ear. There was an increase in catalase activity in the ear at 100 - 400 μmol/kg/day, while elevated quinone reductase activity was observed at 400 μmol/kg/day only. Next, after repeated allyl nitrile exposure (0 - 400 μmol/kg/day), the skin irritant croton oil was applied to the ear to induce skin acute inflammation (oedema). Compared with the 0 μmol/kg/day group, animals in the 100 and 400 μmol/kg/day pre-treatment groups showed reduced oedematous response to croton oil. The reduced oedematous response was inversely associated with enhanced myeloperoxidase activity used as index of the presence of neutrophils. These data suggest that repeated exposure to allyl nitrile at subtoxic levels contributes to protection against croton oil-induced ear dermatitis, potentially through decreasing reactive oxygen species and through infiltration of neutrophils.展开更多

The primary ...Skin diseases such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, burns, and other barrier insults pose ongoing therapeutic challenges, often requiring treatments that address both inflammation and skin barrier repair. The primary aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the potential benefits of sea buckthorn oil, derived from Hippophae rhamnoides, as a treatment for various skin diseases, detailing its anti-inflammatory properties, reporting benefits across several skin conditions, and highlighting challenges in formulation as well as preservation of the oil’s nutritional benefits. Drawing from a wide array of existing literature, this review investigates sea buckthorn oil’s rich composition of omega fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, which may contribute to its therapeutic effects by modulating inflammatory pathways and enhancing skin barrier function. Clinical trials and patient case studies indicate that sea buckthorn oil shows promise in reducing erythema, inflammation, and improving skin sensitivity. However, challenges such as formulation stability, sourcing of quality oil, and variability in response to treatment across conditions need to be addressed. Future research should focus on optimizing formulations and conducting large-scale clinical trials to validate the therapeutic efficacy of sea buckthorn oil in the management of skin diseases. Additionally, further exploration of the regulatory mechanisms underlying its ability to modulate inflammation and repair the skin barrier is needed to fully elucidate its clinical potential. Sea buckthorn oil offers a novel and promising adjunctive treatment for psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and wound-healing with significant potential to enhance therapeutic options for additional skin diseases.展开更多
