Background/purpose: Contact between skin surface and external environment induces a microclimate at the skin surface. That microclimate affects skin interaction with xenobiotics substances. We have developed a new device to explore the influence of environmental parameters, on percutaneous absorption. The aim of this study was to study the influence of external humidity and temperature on percutaneous absorption of caffeine.
Methods: Six exposure conditions were tested: four by combining two temperatures (27°C and 42°C) with two relative humidities (28% and 70%), performed by our device and two others by using Franz diffusion cell (unoccluded conditions, with skin surface in contact with ambient laboratory environment (27°C/33%) and in occluded conditions with skin surface covering by impermeable membrane).
Results: Kinetic curve profile of percutaneous absorption of caffeine revealed different shapes characteristics depending on environmental exposure conditions. These profiles were related to evaporative process, of deposited preparation on skin surface combined with water uptake resulting from water flux through skin.
Conclusion: Our results highlight a preponderant role of microclimate above the skin on percutaneous absorption of caffeine. The device used in this study will be a useful tool to investigate ex vivo, the influence of microclimate on percutaneous absorption.

Uncontrollable haemorrhage and associated microbial contamination in the battlefield and civilian injuries pose a tremendous threat to healthcare professionals. Such traumatic wounds often necessitate an effective point-of-care solution to prevent the consequent morbidity owing to blood loss or haemorrhage. However, developing superior hemostatic materials with anti-infective properties remains a challenge.

In the quest for an ideal wound healing material, human amniotic membrane (AM), tilapia skin collagen (TSC), and Centella asiatica (CA) have been studied separately for their healing potential. In this study, we formulated AM, TSC, and CA gel and studied their competency and wound healing efficacy in vivo. Gel was formulated using AM, TSC, CA, Carbopol 934, acrylic acid, glycerine, and triethanolamine and physicochemical properties e.

Skin cancer stands as a challenging global health concern, necessitating innovative approaches to cure deficiencies within traditional therapeutic modalities. While conventional drug delivery methods through injection or oral administration have long prevailed, the emergence of topical drug administration presents a compelling alternative. The skin, aside from offering a swift and painless procedure, serves as a reservoir, maintaining drug efficacy over extended durations.

An digestion model was established to characterize the types of collagens in skin of cod, white fish, and salmon as well as their collagen-containing skin-derived protein hydrolysates (CSPH) before and after digestion. Moreover, the mineral content and their bioaccessibility were evaluated. Finally, the presence of heavy metals was evaluated to assess the safety of these products.
