To form a functional epidermis, keratinocytes express filaggrin which plays a vital role in atopic dermatitis. However the relationship between filaggrin and other skin diseases remains unknown. In our study we chose 5 different common skin diseases and analyzed the expression of filaggrin in the skin using immunohistochemistry. Imiquimod (IMQ)-induced mouse model was used for detecting the filaggrin level and barrier function. The results indicated that the expression of filaggrin is reduced in psoriasis compared to the other skin diseases. Furthermore in vivo study showed that the skin barrier is defected with a decreased expression of filaggrin in IMQ-induced psoriasis mouse model, which is accompanied with an increased level of IL-17/IL-23. In conclusion, the defective skin barrier is involved in the development of psoriasis in human and mice with a reduced expression of filaggrin which may be regulated by the increased level of IL-17/IL-23 in the skin.展开更多

Control of causative agents as well as providing good genital care may prevent or reduce the risk of the disease. The aim of this study is find out the effect of protective genital care on reducing the diaper dermatit development in 0 - 18 months old inpatient 0 - 18 month old children who are using antibiotic. The study was conducted as prospective half-experimetal using control-experimental groups. Our samples comprise of 0 - 18 month old children admitted at Dokuz Eylul University Practical and Research Hospital, pediatric clinic between January and May 2009, 41 0 - 18 month old children as a control group were not under protective genital care, and 42 0 - 18 month old children as an experimental group were under the protecion and using vaseline. The mothers of the experimental group 0 - 18 month old children were given education. All 0 - 18 month old children were followed-up 3 - 7 days and the collected data were evaluated in computer using Pearson’s chisquare, Fisher’s exact chi-square and Yatest-corrected chi-square tests. The diaper dermatit develop- ment ratio was 34.1% in the control group and 7.1% in the experimental group展开更多
