Breastfeeding Increases the Expression of TLR4, TNF-α, CCL2, and CCL3 in the Prepuce Tissue of Neonates.

Introduction: Innate immunity plays a significant role in the tissue repair process. It is well documented that breastfeeding may alter immune responses. Thus, this study was designed to evaluate the effects of breastfeeding on the levels of TLR1-4, TNF-α, TGF-β, CCL2, and CCL3 in the prepuce tissue of neonates.

A brief look at the role of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (CCL2) in the pathophysiology of psoriasis.

Psoriasis (PsO) is a chronic skin disorder resulting from the imbalanced interactionbetween infiltrating immune cells and keratinocytes. These immune cells, including monocytes, are able to mediate the immune responses in inflamed skin lesions. Chemokines are responsible for the recruitment of leukocytes to sites of inflammation.

Topical Colchicine Gel versus Diclofenac Sodium Gel for the Treatment of Actinic Keratoses: A Randomized, Double-Blind Study.

Introduction. Actinic keratoses (AKs), a premalignant skin lesion, are a common lesion in fair skin. Although destructive treatment remains the gold standard for AKs, medical therapies may be preferable due to the comfort and reliability .

Comparison effect of azithromycin gel 2% with clindamycin gel 1% in patients with acne.

Background: Acne vulgaris is the most common skin disease. Local and systemic antimicrobial drugs are used for its treatment. But increasing resistance of Propionibacterium acnes to antibiotics has been reported.

Promising Option for Treatment of Striae Alba: Fractionated Microneedle Radiofrequency in Combination with Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser.

Background. A consistent treatment has not been proposed for treatment of Striae Alba (SA). The present study was designed to compare the fractionated microneedle radiofrequency (FMR) alone and in combination with fractional carbon dioxide laser (FMR + CO2) in the treatment of SA.

Treatment of Primary Axillary Hyperhidrosis by Fractional Microneedle Radiofrequency: Is it Still Effective after Long-term Follow-up?

Background: Primary axillary hyperhidrosis (PAH) is a chronic idiopathic disorder causing major stress in patients. Among the common therapies for PAH, only surgical interventions have proven feasible as a permanent solution.

Objective And Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fractional microneedle radiofrequency (FMR) as an alternative permanent treatment for PAH with long-term follow-up.

Efficacy of autologous platelet-rich plasma combined with fractional ablative carbon dioxide resurfacing laser in treatment of facial atrophic acne scars: A split-face randomized clinical trial.

Background: Autologous platelet-rich plasma has recently attracted significant attention throughout the medical field for its wound-healing ability.

Aims: This study was conducted to investigate the potential of platelet-rich plasma combined with fractional laser therapy in the treatment of acne scarring.

Methods: Sixteen patients (12 women and 4 men) who underwent split-face therapy were analyzed in this study.
