Background: Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is an inducible modulator of inflammation that acts through increasing prostaglandin levels and has been described as a major mediator linking inflammation to cancer. Previous studies supported that COX-2-765G>C and -1195A>G polymorphisms were associated with increased risk of several solid tissue cancers as well as some hematological malignancies.
Objective: The aim of the study was to elucidate the association between functional COX-2 genotypes (-765G>C and -1195A>G) polymorphisms and the risk of developing mycosis fungoides (MF).
Background: None of therapeutic options for the treatment of keloids has been found completely effective and satisfactory. A combination approach is the best modality.
Objective: To assess the clinical safety and efficacy of radiofrequency (RF) followed by intralesional (IL) steroid injection in keloids.
Background: Deep peeling using phenol and percutaneous collagen induction (PCI) are used in treating acne scars.
Aim: To compare deep peeling using phenol and PCI combined with trichloroacetic acid (TCA) 20% in treating atrophic acne scars.
Methods: 24 patients with post-acne atrophic scars were randomly divided into two groups; group 1 was subjected to one session of deep peeling using phenol, and group 2 was subjected to four sessions of PCI combined with TCA 20%.
Background: Suppression of apoptosis is responsible for epidermal thickness in psoriasis. Survivin is an anti-apoptotic protein that can be modulated by ultraviolet B (UVB).
Aim: Our aim was to investigate the role of survivin in psoriasis and to evaluate the effect of narrow band (NB)-UVB on the survivin levels in psoriatic lesions.
