A cross-sectional study of Chinese women facial skin status with environmental factors and individual lifestyles.

Geographical, environmental and pollution conditions affect facial skin health, but their effects on skin appearance have not been elucidated. This study aimed to describe the skin barrier and skin tone characteristics of Chinese subjects according to lifestyle and environmental conditions using in vitro measurements. In total, 1092 women aged 22-42 years were recruited from 7 representative Chinese cities.

Salvianolic acid B regulates collagen synthesis: Indirect influence on human dermal fibroblasts through the microvascular endothelial cell pathway.

Background: Salvianolic acid B (SAB) is one of the main active ingredients of Salvia Miltiorrhiza. It has significant skin anti-aging, whitening, and sun protection properties.

Aims: The study aimed at studying the mechanism underlying the effect of salvianolic acid Bon collagen synthesis, which has good anti-aging efficacy and modulates microcirculation.

Study of the characteristics of facial skin tone status in 1092 young Chinese females according to the ITA°.

Background: The ITA° is the gold standard for skin tone classification. Different skin tones are often associated with different skin characteristics and issues. Different skin types are often associated with different skin characteristics and issues in China.

Preparation of Deep Sea Fish Oil-Based Nanostructured Lipid Carriers with Enhanced Cellular Uptake.

Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) are a promising pharmaceutical delivery system with mean diameter less than 200 nm which are dispersed in an aqueous phase containing emulsifier(s), to increase the water solubility, stability and bioavailability of oil compounds. Herein we prepared a promising NLC with glyceryl monostearate (GMS) as the solid lipid template and deep sea fish oil as the liquid lipid template using melted-ultrasonic method. Fish oil-NLC had a mean size of 84.
