Skin sensitivity evaluation: What could impact the assessment results?

Background: For the evaluation results of skin sensitivity, such as clinical parameters, stinging test records and biophysical assessments dates might be impacted by many factors, the influence factors need to be further explored, and the skin sensitivity evaluation process and methodology needed distinction and normalization. In this study, we investigated the changes of sensitive skin indexes and lactic acid stinging test results in different seasons, facial regions, skin photo-type, and living habits.

Methods: Twenty-four healthy subjects had completed this study.

Effect of Culture Supernatant Derived from Trichophyton Rubrum Grown in the Nail Medium on the Innate Immunity-related Molecules of HaCaT.

Background: Trichophyton rubrum is superficial fungi characteristically confined to dead keratinized tissues. These observations suggest that the soluble components released by the fungus could influence the host immune response in a cell in contact-free manner. Therefore, this research aimed to analyze whether the culture supernatant derived from T.

Exposure to heat-inactivated Trichophyton rubrum resulting in a limited immune response of human keratinocytes.

Background: Trichophyton rubrum (T. rubrum) represents the most important agent of dermatophytosis in humans. T.
