To study the efficacy of autologous non-cultured nontrypsinized epidermal cell grafting (Jodhpur technique) by using of suction blister membrane in stable vitiligo.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of autologous non-cultured non-trypsinized melanocytekeratinocyte grafting (JT) with suction blister membrane as biological dressing in stable vitiligo patches.

Material And Methods: The study was conducted at Mathura Das Mathur Hospital (MDM), Jodhpur, on 43 patches of Stable vitiligo. It was a prospective single-arm interventional study.

A Comparative Study between Autologous Noncultured Trypsinized Melanocytes-Keratinocytes Cell Suspension and Autologous Noncultured Nontrypsinized Epidermal Cells Grafting (Jodhpur Technique) in Stable Vitiligo.

Background: Noncultured epidermal cell suspension (NCES) and Jodhpur technique (JT) are two treatment options in vitiligo, in which the basic principle is the transfer of melanocytes from uninvolved skin to stable vitiligo patch in the form of either tissue graft or cellular graft.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate effectiveness of two different treatment methods (NCES and JT) in stable vitiligo.

Materials And Methods: This was a randomized comparative study, which included 45 patients with 153 stable vitiligo patches.

Clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of autoinoculation in genital molluscum contagiosum in reproductive age group.

Context: Molluscum contagiosum (MC) typically presents as asymptomatic or itchy, discrete, smooth, flesh-colored, dome-shaped papules with central umbilication. Lesions on the genitals are often sexually transmitted and tend to be seen in young adults. Homologous auto implantation is a simple technique which helps in inducing a cell-mediated immune response to the antigens, aiding clearance of both local and distant lesions.

Tertiary Health Care-Based Randomized Controlled Study to Compare Autologous, Non-cultured, Non-trypsinized Epidermal Cell Transplant (Jodhpur Technique) with Split-Thickness Skin Grafting (STSG) in Stable Vitiligo.

Background: Surgical treatment of vitiligo is reserved for stable recalcitrant vitiligo patches. Split-thickness skin grafting (STSG) is an important established modality for the surgical treatment of vitiligo, whereas autologous, non-cultured, non-trypsinized epidermal cell transplant, also known as Jodhpur technique (JT), is an unconventional innovative surgical modality for the treatment of stable vitiligo.

Aims: To compare the two techniques, JT and STSG, with regards to the extent and pattern of repigmentation achieved, color matching of the repigmented area, patient satisfaction (Dermatology Life Quality Index [DLQI] questionnaire and patient global assessment), and adverse events (if any) in patients with stable vitiligo.

To Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Autologous Non-cultured Non-trypsinized Keratinocyte and Melanocyte Grafting (Jodhpur Technique) with Autologous Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) in the Treatment of Chronic Non-healing Ulcer.

Background: Chronic non-healing ulcers (NHUs) are often associated with some underlying pathology which prevents timely healing thus increasing the patients morbidity and healthcare expenses. Autologous non-cultured non-trypsinized keratinocyte and melanocyte grafting also known as Jodhpur technique (JT), an epidermal graft and autologous platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) are newer modalities with promising results.

Aims: To compare the efficacy and safety of JT and autologous PRFM in the treatment of chronic NHU.

A Comparative Study of Efficacy of 5% Minoxidil and 5% Minoxidil Plus Platelet-Rich Plasma in Same Patient for Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia.

Background: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is characterized by androgen-related progressive thinning of the scalp hair in a defined pattern. It has an effect on social and psychological well-being of the patient. It is often recalcitrant to medical treatment alone.

A Comparative Study between Follicular Unit Transplantation and Autologous Non-cultured Non-trypsinized Epidermal Cells Grafting (Jodhpur Technique) in Stable Vitiligo.

Introduction: Several modalities are currently available for the treatment of vitiligo, but generally they do not result in complete cure of the disease. Despite the limitations and some side effects, surgical modalities appear to be the method of choice in recalcitrant stable vitiligo. Both Jodhpur technique (JT) and follicular unit transplantation (FUT) are simpler and cheaper methods, requiring minimal infrastructure.

Disseminate and Recurrent Infundibulofolliculitis.

Three patients, one female and two males, aged 18, 45, and 25 years, respectively, presented with the complaint of skin-colored papules interspersed with pustular lesions over the anterior and lateral aspect of the neck and upper chest for 2, 8, and 6 months, respectively. Histopathologically, mononuclear cell infiltrate centered over the infundibulum of the hair follicle was seen which confirmed the diagnosis of disseminate and recurrent infundibulofolliculitis. We report this case due to its rarity, especially in the Indian population in which less than five case reports have been published.

A Spilt Head Study of Efficacy of Placebo versus Platelet-rich Plasma Injections in the Treatment of Androgenic Alopecia.

Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous concentration of human platelets contained in a small volume of plasma with haemostatic and tissue repairing effects. Being enriched by various growth factors, PRP has become the focus of attention in numerous fields of medicine. Androgenic alopecia (AGA) is a common chronic hair loss disorder, characterised by progressive hair loss.

Simplified Non-cultured Non-trypsinised Epidermal Cell Graft Technique Followed by Psoralen and Ultraviolet A Light Therapy for Stable Vitiligo.

Background And Aims: Stable vitiligo can be treated by various surgical procedures. Non-cultured melanocyte grafting techniques were developed to overcome the time-consuming process of culture while at the same time providing acceptable results. All the techniques using non-cultured melanocyte transfer involve trypsinisation as an integral step.

Kindler's Syndrome: A Tale of Two Siblings.

Kindler's syndrome (KS) is a rare inherited skin disease characterized by acral blistering, photosensitivity, progressive poikiloderma, and cutaneous atrophy along with different types of mucosal involvement. We hereby report KS in two siblings. The case is being reported for its rarity and for emphasizing the importance of considering this condition in the differential diagnosis of disorders that may cause blistering, cutaneous atrophy, and/or poikilodermatous skin changes.

Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease, the Masquerading Menace: A Rare Case Report.

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) or histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis is a rare, benign, self-limiting disease with unknown etiology characterized by regional lymphadenopathy. A 30-year-old female presented with fever, weakness, multiple joint pain, oral ulcers, erythematous facial rashes, hemorrhagic crusting on both lips, and cervical lymphadenopathy of 2-month duration. Clinically, the disease was mimicking systemic lupus erythematosus, but immunofluorescence was negative for it.

Keratinocyte-melanocyte graft technique followed by PUVA therapy for stable vitiligo.

Background: Various surgical procedures for correcting stable vitiligo exist but these have their own limitations. Autologous, non-cultured, non-trypsinized, melanocyte plus keratinocyte grafting is a new and simple method of vitiligo surgery.

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate efficacy of a new grafting technique in vitiligo patches.

Chemical peeling--glycolic acid versus trichloroacetic acid in melasma.

Melasma continues to be a therapeutic challenge. 100 patients of melasma not responding to conventional depigmenting agents were divided into 2 groups, one treated with 55-75% glycolic acid (68 patients) and the other with 10-15% trichloroacetic acid (32 patients). Applications were made after every 15 days and response assessed clinically along with relapse or hyperpigmentation after 3 month follow up period.

Occupational contact dermatitis among the traditional 'tie and dye' cottage industry in Western Rajasthan.

Background: Dyeing is an age-old process and forms an integral part of textile industries. Tying is a process by which a particular part of cloth is prevented from the process of dyeing. The skin diseases in workers engaged in the 'tie and dye' industry have not been extensively studied.
