Objective: To assess and compare cyclosporine and betamethasone minipulse therapy as treatments for AA with regard to effectiveness and safety.
Methods: Data were collected from 88 patients who received at least 3 months of oral cyclosporine (n=51) or betamethasone minipulse therapy (n=37) for AA.
Background: Laser/light-based devices may provide an alternative to conventional acne therapeutics in some patients with nonresponsive acne.
Objective: We investigated the efficacy of red or infrared light-emitting diode (LED) devices in a mouse model of Propionibacterium acnes-induced inflammation through clinical examination and histopathological and immunohistochemical studies.
Methods: A human-derived Propionibacterium acnes suspension (10(9) colony-forming units /µl) was injected into the back of an HR-1 mouse.
Background: There is no appropriate in vivo animal model that reflects the inflammatory response of human acne.
Objective: This study investigated the effect of Propionibacterium acnes on the development of inflammatory acne-like lesions in four mouse strains with different degrees of immune response for the development of an optimal mouse model of inflammatory acne.
Methods: Human P.
