Abstract

Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated disorder that results from a polygenic predisposition. Nitric oxide (NO) has been considered as important factors in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. This study aims to determine the correlation of serum NO levels with the type and severity of psoriasis. This cross-sectional study was conducted from May to September 2018. Difference in the average of serum NO levels in psoriasis patients with control groups is analyzed using t-test. The Spearman correlation test was used to see the correlation of serum NO levels with type and severity of psoriasis measured by Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score. There was significant difference between serum NO level in the control group compared to the group of psoriasis patients (p=0.037). Patient with generalized pustular psoriasis has the highest mean of NO level (59.07 µmol/L). There was no significant correlation between serum NO level with type (r=0.008, p=0.9710 and severity (r=0.157, p=0.486) of psoriasis. Nitric oxide levels are elevated in psoriasis patients, which indicate that oxidative stress plays an important role in the etiopathogenesis of psoriasis.

Abstract

Hyperhidrosis is an excessive sweat production due to autonomic nerve dysfunction that occurs in areas with higher concentration of eccrine gland such as palms, soles of the feet, and axilla. Management of hyperhidrosis includes pharmacological and nonpharmacological approach. Patients with severe focal hyperhidrosis should consider surgical treatment or botulinum toxin injection. Tumescent liposuction with curettage is one of surgical technique option for the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis. Case: A 32-year-old woman with complaint of excessive sweating, especially in the axillary area. The patient had received oral therapy from a dermatologist prior, but there was no improvement, so the patient was advised to undergo a surgical procedure. In this patient the tumescent liposuction-curettage procedure was performed. Discussion: Treatment of hyperhidrosis with both topical and systemic agents generally provides only temporary suppression of hyperhidrosis. In severe, disturbing cases, the treatment of choice for axillary hyperhidrosis is the surgical procedure. Combination of liposuction-curettage surgical method using tumescent anesthesia is relatively simple and safe. Reduction of apocrine gland secretion after liposuction-curettage takes a relatively long time. This surgical technique has many advantages, such as relatively minimal injury dan short recovery period. Follow-up after this combined liposuction-curettage procedure should be performed subjectively and objectively at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperative.

Abstract

Background: Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a complex neutrophilic dermatosis, characterized by sterile, painful, necrotic ulcer, and is associated with systemic conditions. PG manifests as papules and vesicles that evolve into painful ulcers. Incidence of PG is relatively rare in Dr. Moewardi Hospital, so it is important to identify and correctly diagnose PG based on its’ histopathological features. Case A 54-year-old man complained of painful scab on several body parts. Hematoxylin and eosin staining in the epidermal layer showed a basket-weave orthokeratosis with necrotic tissue, acanthosis, and basal cell hypermelanosis. In the dermis layer there is a lymphocyte and neutrophil cell infiltrate with slight appearance of leukocytoclastic. Discussion: Pyoderma gangrenosum is a reactive, non-infectious inflammatory dermatosis (neutrophilic dermatoses). In this case, PG occurs in 54-year-old man as painful scab on back and legs. Classical PG characterized by papules, pustules, crusted or necrotic plaque, which typically have undermined, overhanging, dusky purple edges with surrounding induration and erythema. In this patient, the epidermal layer showed ulceration and slight appearance of leukocytoclastic vasculitis in the dermis area and lymphocyte infiltrate with slight neutrophil in the perivascular accompanied by erythrocyte extravasation, which support the diagnosis of PG.

Abstract

Phototherapy is a non-ionizing ultraviolet (UV) radiation therapy used as a treatment for several medical conditions. The mechanism of action of phototherapy is to act as antiproliferative, induce apoptotic, and provide immunosuppressive effect. Several therapeutic modalities that can be used as alternative therapy in children include NB-UVB, BB-UVB, ultraviolet A, PUVA, and excimer laser. Phototherapy in children is indicated especially in diseases such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, pityriasis lichenoides, and mycoses fungoides. The use of phototherapy has indications, contraindications, dose, and side effects that should be considered when choosing appropriate phototherapy in children. Common side effects are erythema, xerosis, burning sensation, and itching. Several groups of patients with refractory complaints are advised to use additional phototherapy modalities, either as monotherapy or in combination with topical and systemic therapy.
