Organophosphates are highly toxic compounds, mainly penetrating the organism through the percutaneous route. In this context, having topical skin protectant capable of limitating their percutaneous penetration is of crucial importance for exposed people. Knowledge of the toxicokinetic parameters corresponding to the percutaneous penetration of these compounds is a key step for the development of these protective formulations. The different experimental approaches, in vivo and ex vivo, used to predict percutaneous penetration of these toxics are presented. The relevance and reliability of cutaneous experimental models are analysed.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a multifaceted inflammatory skin condition characterized by the involvement of various cell types, such as keratinocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, and mast cells. Research indicates that flavonoids possess anti-inflammatory properties that may be beneficial in the management of AD. However, the investigation of the glycoside forms for anti-AD therapy is limited.

December 2024

College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Guizhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Guiyang 550025, China National Engineering Technology Research Center for Miao Medicine Guiyang 550025, China Guizhou Engineering Technology Research Center for Processing and Preparation of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ethnic Medicine Guiyang 550025, China.

The conventional acupoint therapy for rheumatoid arthritis often uses traditional Chinese medicine preparations in the dosage forms of powder, ointment, and paste. However, these dosage forms have obvious drawbacks, such as low transdermal absorption, strong skin irritation, and easy detachment. Creating a traditional Chinese medicine acupoint therapy characterized by high penetration, low toxicity, low irritation, and convenient administration is of great significance.

Exudate management is essential for creating a moist wound environment that promotes optimal healing, especially in highly exuding wounds, where choosing an appropriate wound dressing to handle high volumes of exudate is a key part of the wound management strategy. Superabsorbent wound dressings (SWDs) have been designed to absorb and retain large amounts of exudate. Thus, they are advocated for management of wounds with moderate-to-high levels of exudate to reduce the risk of leakage and damage to the periwound skin.
